"Don't be nervous." Mya held his hand, comforting him. "Contractions are normal, and sometimes Braxton Hicks contractions can occur. I wasn't sure if I was really going into labor, that's why I didn't call you."
"Regardless of whether you're in labor or not, you need to go to the hospital!" Finnley was genuinely worried, regretting not waking up earlier.
"But from what I can tell now, the contractions are lasting longer and coming more frequently, so they shouldn't be false." Mya whispered softly.
"No more talking, let's go to the hospital!" Finnley lifted the covers, getting dressed and calling his mother on the phone, "Mom, Mya is going into labor! Get ready to go to the hospital!"
After hanging up, he quickly grabbed the labor bag that had been prepared in advance.
Then, he helped Mya sit up.
Soon, Violet and Albert rushed in wearing pajamas, their hair disheveled, looking anxious.
"Mya! Are you okay? Is it painful?"
"Is this it, are you going into labor?"
"Mom, I'm fine." Mya smiled, remaining optimistic not wanting to worry everyone too much.
She knew that childbirth was a natural phenomenon for women. Being assisted to the edge of the bed, Mya held her pregnant belly with a mix of emotions-excitement, nervousness, unease, fear, and joy.
"Mom, why are you all just standing there? Hurry up and change clothes!" Finnley urged, then bent down to help Mya put on her shoes.
"Oh, yes, yes!" Violet finally reacted, "We're going now! Hang in there!"
Then, she quickly dragged the anxious Albert and hurriedly left!
Finnley helped his wife put on her shoes and draped a thick coat over her. "It might be a bit chilly outside, so make sure you're warm!"
