A soft knock on the bedroom door woke Trey. It was the middle of the night. He sat up and glanced at Landon, who was still sleeping beside him. There had been a knock hadn??t there? He was about to lie down again when the door opened. He could see Nina??s very pregnant body silhouetted in the doorway.

??Nina??? he asked.

??I??I think I??m in labor,?? she said.

Trey slid out of bed. ??Contractions???

??Yes, they??re uncomfortable. And???? She drew a slow sort of shaky breath.

Crossing the room, Trey put his hand on her belly. It was hard and tight, and he started silently counting. He made it up to fifty. That was a long one. ??Okay, just try to relax.??

Behind him, he heard Landon getting up.

??Problem??? Landon asked, voice thick with sleep.

??I think you??re going to be a father tonight,?? said Trey. ??Nina, do you have any idea when the contractions started???
