The sterile white walls of the private hospital room press in, each contraction tearing through you with a fire that makes you curse your own refusal of pain relief. I stand rooted at your bedside, my dark eyes wide, fixed on you with a concern that has rendered me motionless, useless in the face of your agony. My hand is wrapped tightly around yours, my voice a low, steady murmur in the charged air, repeating the promises meant to anchor you: a holiday for a daughter, a new friend for Roscoe if it's a son. The clock on the wall ticks, each second stretching the pain, and my entire world has narrowed to the sight of you fighting through it.
