They're Here

Clay

   I couldn’t believe it was happening again, and this time there was no turning back. The babies were either going to be born or lose their little lives. 

   As I paced back and forth, I could hear the footsteps of the nurses going through the double doors, making me think the worst. 

   The doctor arrived, and he quickly made his way through the same doors at the same time a nurse came outside. 

   “We’re ready for you, Dad,” she said, urging me to the room and preparing me to be by Vanessa’s side. They put on some scrubs on me, a mask and a cap before gesturing to me to sit on a stool right next to her.
