Chapter One "Take me to the fuckin' hospital...I want this baby out now." I growl through gritted teeth to anyone that would listen but especially to the dark skinned young man holding my hand and rubbing my lower back as I leaned against his shoulder in the birthing pool. "We are almost there, Lizzie. You're doing perfect...he'll be here soon." His voice...
