A Reason To Breathe

“Jack, baby, you need to breathe.”

“I’ll fuckin’ breathe, when the fuckin’ ambulance is here, taking my wife to the fuckin’ hospital to have my babies where she fuckin’ belongs and not a fuckin’ minute sooner... Fuck me why’s the room spinning?”

“Jack sit down, you’re breathing too fast and making yourself dizzy.”

Jack burst through the door looking anxious, so I smiled at him.

“Can you believe it? They’re coming on the night you asked me to marry you.”

“Jesus what are you doing in the shower.” Jack growled.

“My water broke, Jack, I wanted to get cleaned up.”

“You guys are so cute together, I just love how much you love my mom, Jack,” she cried. Jack moved to her and wrapped her up in a hug, and she buried her face in his chest.
