Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck
"Anon...it's breaking... my water is breaking." You look behind into the backseat, in front of you was morning rush hour, behind you was your heavily pregnant wife, Ouro Kronii.
She was currently gripping the leather seat in a death vice, her blue maternity dress barely containing the massive girth of her abdomen. According to the ultrasound she was going to give birth to triplets.
"Hold on, honey." You remove your seatbelt, taking a quick look at your phone. You were close to the hospital. It was only a 15 minute run. You didn't have time to screw around .
You put your hazard light on, getting out and running over to the backseat door. You quickly but in the most gentlest manner possible retrieve your distressed wife unto you arms. She was heavy, but you weren't going to let that dissuade you
You run, your jerky movements put an immense strain on Kronii and yourself.
"Can you try to use your powers. Don't go overboard just give us a few more seconds." One of the side effects of Kronii's pregnancy was the loosening control over her powers over time, it worried you to the point you had forbid her from using it during the last trimester for fear of her accidently inducing a miscarriage.
"I'll try." As she said so you see the familiar blue glow that precedes her temporal manipulations. It however flickers in and out, instead of freezing everyone it made everything look like a stop-motion film.
That was enough for you.
You were glad you got fit, if this had been you 2 years before, the both of you would have been sprawled over the pavement by now.
You reach the emergency room, after an intense obstacle course of dodging stuck traffic.
"Help! My wife's about to give birth!" You scream out your ragged and burning lungs, doctors and nurses quickly attend to you, bringing over a gurney that you deposit Kronii on.
Your calves are pulsating, your hair so slick that people might have assumed you dunked your head in water.
You don't care, you're tired to the point of collapse, but time waits for no man. Time was waiting for you to become the father of her children.
She's squeezing your hand as the hospital staff hurry towards the maternity ward.
"I'm scared, so scared." She's weeping now, a combination brought upon by a mixture of pain and fear.
You cup her face in your hand.
"It's alright, you're not alone. I'm gonna be here the entire time, you're never gonna be alone." You kiss her, a deep kiss.
This was going to be the longest day of both of your lives.
