Hands shaking and her breathing pained, she picked up her cell phone from where it lay on her night table. Taking a nap while he was out picking up groceries for an anniversary dinner hadn’t been one of her brighter ideas, and as she punched in the speed dial, she prayed he’d pick up quickly.
As he flipped open the phone, he heard her rapidly breathing. “Sara? What’s going on? Is everything okay?” he asked, examining a display of cheese.
“My water broke,” she said in a strangled whisper. “Come home. Now.”
“I’m on my way,” he replied, hanging up the phone and leaving his cart where it was. He was going to be a father.
