Daughter's Keeper (2013)
“She tossed from side to side, trying to get comfortable, but finally got up to pee. She sat on the toilet, staring down at her distended stomach with its line of darkened skin leading from her protruding belly button to the top of her pubis. She wiped herself and was startled to see a clump of something, streaked yellow and red, on the toilet paper. She stared at the paper for a moment or two and then smiled. The baby was coming.
Olivia spent the rest of the day by herself. She didn’t tell ...Arthur or her mother what was happening, and the two of them went to work, leaving her alone in the empty house. She sat down in her favorite chair with her legs drawn up under her and her knees spread wide. At some point she realized that the dull ache in her back had traveled around to the front of her body. She looked up at the clock on the wall the next time she felt the tug of pain and noted the time. Twenty minutes later, it came again.
Olivia slipped on a pair of her mother’s old running shoes and tied the laces very loosely over her feet.MoreLess
