The dog went quiet, confused.
“What are you so angry about, anyway?” I said, patting his side.
He sniffed my hand suspiciously, his tail giving a tentative wag. Then, he looked up at me with a sweet face and licked my hand.
“Good boy,” I murmured, scratching behind his ears. Snuggles practically melted, leaning into the attention.
“SNUGGLES! Get back here!” Martha appeared, furious, snatching the poodle’s leash and dragging him away.
As Martha dragged the now-docile Snuggles back to their table, I straightened up and looked around the restaurant.
The music had shifted to something slower, and couples swayed together on the makeshift dance floor.
Caroline leaned back in her chair, one hand pressed low on her belly, breathing slowly through what looked like a contraction.
I squeezed her hand. “You okay?”
Kate moved to Caroline’s side. “Don’t be a hero. You need help, tell us.”
“It’s just contractions,” Caroline said with a tired smile. “Dr. Kendrick said I’m not due for another couple weeks.”
“How far apart are they?” Kate pressed.
“Twenty minutes, maybe fifteen.” Caroline shifted in the chair, trying to find a comfortable position. “Really, don’t worry. I’m sure it’s a false alarm.”
Sofia emerged from the kitchen, surveying her packed restaurant with obvious pride before making her way over to us.
“Everything okay?” she asked, noticing the concern on our faces.
“Fine,” Caroline said, then winced as another contraction hit. “Just—oh.”
She went very still, her eyes widening.
Her hand flew to my arm, gripping tight. “Oh my God.”
“What?”
“My water just broke.” Her face was frozen with shock. “I need to— oh! Oh my God.”
I took her arm. “Can you stand? Let’s get you to the hospital. Now.”
“Ayyy, oh my God!” Sofia gasped, dancing in a panic.
Caroline gripped my hand as another contraction hit, much stronger than before. "This is really happening," she breathed, wonder mixing with the pain in her voice.
“Yeah,” I said, kissing her forehead. “It really is. Everything’s going to be okay. I’m getting you out of here now.”
As we helped Caroline towards the door, I glimpsed everyone around us—our friends and neighbors watching with excitement and concern, Kate and Amber close at our side while Sofia stayed behind, assuring us she’d be at the hospital soon.
Six months ago, I’d been a young man with a successful business but no real direction for the future.
Now, as we helped Caroline into my car, I was about to become something I hadn’t expected: a father, surrounded by the most unconventional and perfect family I could have dreamed of.
