Sometimes, Edgar wakes up in the middle of the night from nightmares and just lies there, trying to catch his breath. In those moments, looking at Rachel lying beside him with her red hair strewn across the pillow, it's hard not to get caught up in the terrifying thoughts of lasts.

That someday they may have a last night of being together like this. That someday the red around her will be blood and it will be the last time he can hold her. That someday he or she will draw their last breath and leave the other alone.

It helps to curl in closer, press a light kiss against the top of her head. Helps when she stirs just slightly at the touch, her lips parting to let out a breath he can pretend is his name. Helps just enough that when he closes his eyes, he can almost banish away the thoughts of lasts completely and lull himself into believing that forever is a permanent thing.

Pregnancy is always a difficult thing. A joyous thing, usually, yes, but also a difficult thing. It's hard on the body and on the emotions, is harder both the younger and the older you are.

But she isn't a terrified nineteen year old about to bear her unplanned first child anymore with her just-as-terrified new husband at her side. She's a healthy twenty-four year old woman and wife expecting her second child with her much loved husband. Seven months in and preparations are starting to settle themselves nicely; the jump bag's been prepared for a couple weeks now, arrangements made with Andrew and Argine and a couple other close friends for when the time for labour comes. Everything is going smoothly.

Or at least, she thought they were, until a pain that felt an awful lot like a proper contraction and not like the Braxton-Hicks ones she'd grown used to hits suddenly as she's drying off a mug she'd just had tea in. The hurt has it falling out of her hand with a clatter onto the counter. She doesn't have time to be grateful it doesn't break because she's too busy trying simultaneously to catch her breath and move to call for him.

"--Ed?" It's uncertain, at first, tentative, but her voice rises suddenly with alarm as another wave of pain hits, confirming for her that, yes, it's most likely a proper contraction and yes, she thinks her water may just have broken. "Edgar!"
