Jarret Jarrett was just a normal kid. He was 18 and had those Abercrombie good looks that got him far his last year in high school. He had always been popular, and was excited about next year, his first year in college. Jarrett’s family was very well off. His father was a well known and respected doctor, and his mother was a small city socialite. She spent the days at find raising lunches and the nights at gallery openings. They were a pretty all American family. As with all families of wealth, this one had a dark secret. Jarrett had been a twin pregnancy. Everything went well for the 9months of pregnancy, and labor went according to plan. Once the pushing started, the trouble began. Jarrett was a big baby and the first in line. It took is mother several hours to get him born, and in the time that big Jarrett was being born, his brother was strangled by the umbilical cord and was still born. While it was never stated, Jarrett’s mother always made him feel that the loss of his brother was Jarrett’s fault. This blame continued even thought Jarrett’s mother gave birth to a baby a few years after Jarret, Andy.
The December of Jarrett’s senior year was exciting; he was finalizing his college applications and looking forward to his new life. As with every Christmas, however, Jarrett’s mother got depressed. This one was especially hard, thinking about the son she lost, and what his life would have been like, filling out applications with him too.
Jarrett was sick of having his mother blame him for his brother’s death, so one time at their family therapy session he blurted out, "What do you want me to do, bring him back to life? I can’t." Jarrett’s mother burst into tears and stormed out. Jarrett expressed to his father that he would do anything to try to fix the situation, but he couldn’t think of anything. In the weeks leading up to Christmas, Jarrett was asking his mother what she wanted for Christmas. She said she was thinking about it, and would tell him in a few days. Jarrett continued to shop the malls looking for that one special item for his mother.
One night at dinner, she mentioned that she had come up with a Christmas wish. She handed Jarrett a pamphlet. The pamphlet was for a local obstetrician specializing in teen pregnancies. Jarrett was confused. Was she happy he hadn’t gotten a girl pregnant in high school? She explained to him that she researched options, and she wanted Jarrett to have the baby she never had. She wanted to raise it, and call it her own. She just needed him to carry it, and use his sperm, with a donor egg, in order to make the baby as close to his brother as possible. She also expressed her concern at 'empty nest syndrome' and that this would solve all her problems. Jarrett was furious, he wasn’t about to give up 9 months of his life, and sacrifice his college dream. His mother told him that if they started soon, he could have the pregnancy over in enough time to start spring semester next year, and that he would only loose a semester. She also promised that he wouldn’t have to work during the pregnancy, or through out his college career. While the offer was tempting, Jarrett couldn’t imagine being pregnant. He weighed the pros and cons.
If they got started soon, he would really only be noticeably pregnant during the fall. It was also great that he wouldn’t have to work through out college, and would come away with no loans. Originally his parents, although they could afford it, said he would have to pay for half of the education, in order to really appreciate it.
Jarrett finally decided to go thru with the pregnancy.
The family went thru in-vitro fertilization 2 times with failures. For some reason it just didn’t take. Jarrett was secretly happy about that, but still felt bad for his mother, who mourned the loss just like the loss of his brother. It wasn’t until the middle of March that the family got a positive test result. Jarrett took one of the home pregnancy tests and it turned blue, he was pregnant. The doctor ordered him to immediate bed rest, so Jarrett took 2 weeks off of school. At his first doctor's appointment, Jarret and his parents watched on the ultrasound machine as the doctor took a look in his uterus. Twins, the doctor saw that 2 eggs had implanted themselves inside Jarrett.
The last 3 months of Jarrett’s senior year were terrible. Morning sickness hit him like a ton of bricks. He was sick as soon as he got up, and sick after every meal. His body was really messed up by all the hormones he was taking in order to sustain the pregnancy. His mother was right by his side every moment of it, there to bring him food, and clean up, there to drive him to the doctors, and there to ask him questions about how he was feeling. They were closer than they every had been, but Jarrett thought she was getting a bit suffocating.
Andy was jealous of the constant attention his brother was getting. He was 17 years old and needed attention from his parents. He basically ignored him concentrating on his brother. Andy’s jealousy progressed as Jarrett’s pregnancy did.
Because of Jarrett’s morning sickness he really didn’t put on as much weight as his doctor, or mother would have like in his first trimester. He should have gained about 5 lbs, but was still at the same weight he was when he got pregnant.
When the morning sickness had passed Jarrett’s mother made it her duty to get his weight back up. Every morning she had a big breakfast prepared for Jarrett. At first he thought it was great, they babies were gaining weight and growing so his body required all the extra calories. The meals were robust and filling.
By the time Jarrett got around to his 5 month check up, he had gained 20 lbs. Most of those 20 lbs came on in the last 8 weeks. His belly had started to develop. Jarret started this pregnancy out at a 32 inch waist and now he was a solid 34. Luckily he had some old jeans he wore when he was a bit fatter, but these just fit around his waist, they were starting to get tight. His belly only had a small pouch to it, but it was still not he flat six pack that all the girl loved.
The month of August Jarrett’s family always went on a 3 week vacation to the beach. Normally Jarrett would invite some of his friends and they would make a big thing out of it. They’d drink, go to the beach, hang out, and go to bars. This year was different. Jarrett didn’t want anyone to see him in this condition, during his 6th month, his belly had popped. He also put on an additional 10 lbs. He looked like he was 8 months pregnant with one baby. He still had 3 months to go, and couldn’t imagine how big he was going to be with twins.
His mother was very involved with his pregnancy. Every time he woke up, she wanted to feel his belly and feel the babies move. The first time she felt them move she was elated. Jarrett felt them move around the 4 month mark, but didn’t want to get his mom excited about it until she was in the room when it happened. They usually moved around at night before bed, or first thing in the morning.
The first time she was in the room, they were on vacation. Jarrett was lying on the couch flipping through the channels. He was shirtless, as his mother always liked to see his belly. He was in just some swim trunks waiting for the family to be ready to go to the beach. Just then he felt a flurry of movement and yelled for his mother. She ran over and was there in time to see his belly shifting shapes. She placed her hands on the round orb on his stomach and felt the movements. Jarret felt them move from the inside too, he felt his organs shift as the babies shifted in him. They would hit his bladder and make him have to pee; they also would hit his diaphragm and make his breathing labored. He could see his mothers face light up as she felt the twins move. Even at about 5 lbs each, the babies were quite big and strong and made Jarrett’s skin stretch as they moved.
She helped Jarrett up from the couch and they all went to the beach. Jarrett was still self conscious of his belly, so he wore a tank top to the beach. Walking on the sand was killer, the kids were putting a lot of weight on his back, and trudging through the sand was no picnic. When they finally made it to the spot, Jarrett was happy to finally sit down. He was always mad they made beach chairs so low to the ground. Once he was in one, it took him a lot of effort to get up. Even with the strong breeze from the ocean, Jarret was starting to develop sweat marks on his belly from being hot. He did finally decide to take off his shirt. He applied sun tan lotion to his round belly. As me moved to lotion around, the kids shifted their position and stretched his skin. Jarrett was lucky, even with his fast growth, he didn’t develop stretch marks. He wasn’t sure why, his skin felt like it was paper thin, good genes he thought.
Over the next few months, Jarrett’s mom continued to take an active role in her son’s pregnancy. She was at every doctor appointment, asking questions, and always questioning weather her son should have been as active as he was. Jarret wasn’t really that active, he just tried to get out of the house whenever he could.
By thanksgiving Jarrett was 8 ½ months along. To say he was big was an understatement. Those days all he did was hang around the house, he was relegated to wearing sweatpants and XXL tee shirts. The maternity pants that his mother had bought were getting tighter and he loved elastic at this point. His belly was pretty round at this point. Jarret gained about 60 lbs and most of it went to his belly. He did develop a sizeable chest, and his ass was rounder. Jarret mom was always touching his belly, which he did find annoying. She said she just wanted to remember the pregnancy as long as she could. This is why she asked one of her artist friends to come over to do a belly cast.
Erin, the artist, arrived one night around 6pm. She was let in my Jarret mom, and brought into the living room, where Jarret spent most of his time, on the recliner playing video games. She took one look at him, and immediately went to her car for more supplies. This did little for Jarret self esteem as he had to look at his huge belly all the time.
When she got back she helped Jarret to his feet, and asked him to take off his shirt. She commented on how round his belly was, usually with twins the belly could start to take weird shapes, but this time he was fairly rounded. Erin also let Jarret know she was going to have to shave his belly. He didn’t have that much hair, but still needed to make sure there was none so the cast would come off easily.
She spread lotion over his belly and then ran the razor over the round orb. As she pressed with the head of the razor, the babies shifted within. It was amazing to see how slick and round his belly looked after it was shaved. Erin then applied some powder and then applied the paper Mache. It took almost all the Mache she had in her bag in order to cover his entire belly. She covered from the bottom of his pecs, all the way around to the very bottom of his belly. She also covered the slight love handles that Jarret had been developing. He then had to stand for 45 minutes while the cast hardened. This was the worst part. The babies had put so much additional weight on his back and feet that he could only stand for about 30 minutes at a time without needing to sit. Forty five long painful minutes later, she helped him take the cast off.
And Jarret mother immediately put it up in the den. This was the last straw for Andy. He had a great year in school and made varsity soccer. He did everything right, but got no attention, now seeing his mother put a big ugly cast of his brothers big ugly belly on the wall was it.
Jarret was happy the cast was off by 7:30, because he had his Lamaze class at 8pm. This was Jarret only opportunity to get out of his house, and to see some of the pregnant friends he had made. Jarret mom reluctantly allowed him to take these classes alone; little did he know that she was going to Lamaze classes as well. She wanted to be sure she knew what to do when her son went into labor.
Jarret waddled into the community center and was immediately met with high fives from his friends Jeff and Andrew. Jeff was about 7 months along and Andrew was due next week. They were all around the same age, and Jarret was very happy to have found them. They understood what he was going thru, and were able to commiserate about pregnancy together. Andrew gave Jarret a bag with a breast pump in it. He promised it to Jarret on the phone last week when Jarret started complain about the pressure in his chest.
The guys were all single, so they were each others coaches. They helped one another to the ground, and coach themselves through the breathing techniques. The class was long an exhausting and Jarret was happy to get home.
When he got into the car to drive home he was intrigued by the breast pump he had. He had never used one, but really needed it. His chest was getting really plump these days, filling with milk to feed his kids. His nipples had gotten a bit darker and rounder. His pecs still looked like pecs and not breasts, but they were getting heavier by the day. Jarret took the contraption out of the bag and put it on the passenger seat. He lifted up his shirt with some effort and pulled it over his head. He then took the pump part and placed it to his pec. Jarret flicked the switch and felt immediate pressure on his chest. Andrew told him that it would take a few minutes before milk would flow. So, he waited. Jarret then felt a release. He looked down and the pump was pulling milk from his pec. The sensation was great, and he eventually was sucked dry and felt a lot better, at least on one side. Jarret could immediate see a difference in his chest. One side was still plump with milk; the other looked a bit deflated.
December 10th came and went, that was Jarret due date. His mother of course was worried, but after each and every doctor’s appointment, he assured her that it was perfectly OK, and Jarret body would begin labor when it wanted to. While it was comforting that the doctor wanted to wait, Jarret was getting a bit impatient. He always looked forward to Christmas, but this one he was so uncomfortable that he couldn’t stand it. Two weeks overdue, and a total weight gain of 80 lbs, and Jarret was ready to try anything to jump start his labor. Jarret sat on the recliner in the living room. Because none of his tee shirts fit, he put the biggest one on and let his belly hang out from under his shirt. His belly was no longer round. The babies had made their way lower and there were two heads low in his belly, they looked like two grapefruits shoved under his skin. His skin was stretched so tight that any movement was painful.
Jarret stayed in the recliner to sleep, it was one of the only positions that he could stand to be in for long periods of time. He was having Braxton hicks contractions every few hours, but nothing substantial enough to cause him to get to the hospital. Jarret mom would occasionally sneak up and put a bow on his belly, she was thrilled about the potential Christmas miracle, and two healthy almost 12 lbs baby boys.
Andy and Jarrett had always been close, even though Andy despised the attention his brother was getting. He did feel sympathy for Jarrett whose body was going through terrible changes. He almost watched in enjoyment as Jarrett struggled to his feet every hour to go to the bathroom. He could see the strain the twins were putting on his back. Andy could see the skin on his brothers back stretched in inhuman ways in order to carry the weight in his front.
Andy had started to do some research for his brother on ways to induce labor. He read about herbal remedies that promised to induce contractions. One special concoction caught his eye. It was a mixture of 4 herbs that required a trip to the all natural health food store. This recipe in particular was interesting because it promised a quick painful delivery. While Andy didn’t like to see his brother in pain, he was a bit bitter he was not asked to be in the delivery room when the event happened. He understood it would be weird, but felt like it was another example of being ignored.
Andy went to the store the day before Christmas and got the ingredients. At about 9pm, his brother had settled into his place in the recliner. Andy looked over from the kitchen and saw how exhausted his brother was. He noticed the skin stretched on his belly, a belly that couldn’t even fit under his shirt. Labor looked like it was eminent, but he decided to try the tea just to make sure. He mixed it up and offered a cup of ‘herbal’ tea to his brother and went to bed.
Jarret parents were awoken by a scream at 3am on Christmas Eve. Jarret had a rather strong contraction and he felt like it was time. He had been having pains in his back all night, but though that was nothing new so ignored them. His parents were immediately by his side and helping him to a standing position.
Andy was woken by the scream as well. When he got himself downstairs his parents had already helped Jarrett to a bar stool in the kitchen. They had steadied him there as Jarrett's father went around the house looking for his son's birthing bag. Andy felt a bit bad for hving given his brother the tea. He watched his brother as a new contraction crept up. Andy swore he could see the bottom of his brothers belly push deeper into his hips. He watched as the belly grew and Jarrett grabbed on to the kitchen counter for support. As the contraction took over his body, Jarrett spread his legs wider and wiggled his hips as the pressure grew.
Jarret's labor progressed rather quickly. In the car, the contractions went from 15 to 7 minutes apart in little time. He kept screaming about the pain and the pressure he was feeling. Jarret was in the back of the mini van on the seat yelling about the pressure. He felt his big sweaty belly and how it was tightening every few minutes. He felt his muscles contracting as they forced his babies closer and closer to their exit.
Andy watched curiously from the back seat as his older brother writhed with a contraction. He put a hand on Jarret's shoulder, trying to soothe him. “Just keep breathing, man.” He encouraged. Jarret looked back at him with a worried and pain-filled face, nodding weakly. When they pulled up to the hospital an orderly helped Jarret into a wheel chair and got him in to the lobby. The registration nurse saw how dire the situation was with his teenager so close to delivery, that she sped up the registration process and got him to a room. The entourage split ways here, Andy heading to some chairs outside of Jarret's delivery room and the rest of the family bolting through the doors after the laboring boy.
Jarret had a death grip on the wheel chair as they got him into the room. His legs were spread wide as the kids’ heads pushed him more and more open. The orderly helped him to his feet and helped get his shirt off. He stared at Jarret massive belly and watched as it contorted with a contraction. Jarrett moaned as the contraction spread over his belly. He slowly leaned over, putting his hands on the bed. Closing his eyes, he threw his head back toward the ceiling with his eyes pressed shut from the pain. His naked body tightened while everyone in the room focused on him, amazed by the sight. This was a particularly strong contraction that caused his water to break as it crashed to the floor. Jarret was then helped into a gown that barley closed in front and he was eased down to a bed. Jarret continued to moan and groan until a doctor came to see him.
The doctor came in he ushered Jarret parents away from the laboring boy. Out in the waiting room, Andy was surprised to see his parents come back through the door so soon. Nobody said anything, but they all exchanged glances that showed a mix of anxiety and excitement. The doctor then opened his gown and began to examine the contorting belly. He spread Jarret's legs and did an internal exam. The doctor confirmed that Jarret was 9 cm and could start pushing. This was great news after only 3 hours of labor; the babies were ready to be born. A nurse came back to the door, “You two can come back in now, we're almost ready.” The whole family turned, and Andy caught a glimpse of his brother in the stirrups. He knew it wouldn't be long until he was an uncle.
The 19 year old was quite a sight. Slick, wet belly hanging out for all to see, legs spread wide in stirrups, and bulging biceps clutching the sheets on his bed.
With a parent on each side of him, Jarret prepared to push. He took a few deep breaths before feeling a contraction. “Push!” The doctor barked. The teenager put his chin to his chest and let out an awful wail. His face was red with strain, his thighs clenched tight as he tried to deliver. As the child started to crown, the doctor waved his parents over to see. Peeking over his legs, they saw the outline of the small head still inside him with just a sliver of hair visible.
He felt incredible pressure as the first baby hung against his opening. Another strong push and his body spread, letting the head crown completely. Jarret's mother began to cry as she watched the small body prepare to enter the world. The doctor put his hands on the inside of Jarret's thighs, pushing them slightly apart to make room for the baby's head. A few moments later the next contraction rolled over him and he managed to easily push the head out of his body. Resting between his now sweaty thighs, the small face looked up at its grandparents with a rather unpleasant look. “He's adorable.” Jarret's mom couldn't contain herself.
“Just pant through the next one.” The doctor said soothingly as he cleaned the baby's airways. Jarret twisted his hips, moaning and panting while he resisted the urge to just push the small body completely out of him. He arched his back high off the bed when the shoulders rotated inside him, scraping against his opening as they tried to get themselves situated. The doctor took the small head in his hands, tilting it down as he ordered another push from the tired boy. The whole room watched, holding a collective breath, as the first shoulder appeared, followed by a second. The birth was going just like a textbook as the small chest presented, then the rest of the child was delivered in a rush of fluids. Jarret fell to the bed with a gasp, smiling wide as he felt the pain melt away.
The doctor reexamined Jarret and pulled off his latex gloves and began to walk away. Every one questioned what he was doing, and he explained that the second baby was a little bit behind, and probably wouldn’t be ready for another half an hour. This time gave Jarret a chance to catch his breath and refocus on delivering his second child. His belly was still quite large, with another 12 lbs baby inside, but not as tight as it had been before.
The doctor left the room, covering Jarret's lower half with a sterile blanket. In the waiting room, Andy saw the doctor leave and was able to see Jarret holding the baby as the door closed. Only a moment later his father appeared at the door and waved him in. He walked in slowly, unsure of what he would see. His brother was laying on the bed, sweaty and looking exhausted. He saw a wet, red baby on his muscular chest, squirming and crying. He looked around for the other, but didn't see it. That's when it dawned on him. He looked at his brother's swollen stomach, the baby inside still moving and causing it to change shape slightly.
Jarrett rode out a few more contractions. The pain was unbearable. Each time a contraction came, Jarrett couldn’t help but arch his back off the bed, pushing his laboring belly in the air. The gown that barley contained him slid down his wet body to the bed. His hands were locked around the underside of his low belly trying with all his effort to stop the pressure the second baby was putting on his opening. As his belly contracted you could see the skin pulling away from his still visible rib cage. You could also see the baby squirming against the pressure. Jarrett swore he could see individual limbs as his belly pressed tightly around the kid. Andy was excited to finally be a part of this family moment, taking full advantage. He gently wiped Jarret's forehead and stomach with a washcloth, clearing away the sweat as the family prepared to welcome their newest arrival. He feigned sympathy to hide the sheer joy he was getting from watching his brother arch and cry out, sweating and screaming with the pain. Maybe it was a little sick of him, but he was getting some type of strange pleasure from seeing what the last nine months of his parents' attention had earned his brother in the end.
The doctors came in and checked on Jarret every few minutes to see how he was laboring. They asked the doctor why his contractions were not getting closer together. The doctor explained that they would wait till they were one on top of another, and if it meant letting him labor some more. The family was anxious with the news, Jarret himself even letting out a thoroughly displeased sigh. Andy hid his urge to smile, wondering what he had done to deserve such a treat. More contractions came and went, Jarret crying out as he arched off the bed, then leaned forward to huff and puff. His parents paced the room nervously, returning to dote on him at each contraction. Andy almost wished he could whip out his cell phone and film his brother at his lowest, but he knew they'd throw him out.
After another half hour, a young, soft-faced nurse came in to check on the straining teen. “Maybe you could have your brother take you into our shower, it could help with the pain.” He suggested to Jarret. Jarret looked apprehensive. He wasn't entirely onboard with his brother watching him labor, let alone see him shower. Rather than be a huge dick and, since he was already tired and in pain, he just nodded. Andy was shocked at his brother's acceptance, but he didn't say anything. He was just glad to get some alone time with him during the labor.
Jarret dropped his robe to the floor and Andy stripped down to his boxer briefs, helping to guide his brother into the stall. Before the nurse left he had turned the warm water on, causing the room to fill with steam. Jarret was still embarrassed and Andy was overcome with the situation, so the two didn't say much at first. When the first contraction came Jarret leaned heavily against his little brother, moaning into his ear. Andy looked down, seeing Jarret's stomach tighten and strain. He was speechless as he watched the small child within shift lower, forging a path to the birth canal. He gently touched his palm to the straining skin and made out the outline of the baby's firm head, slowly sliding down inside.
When the contraction ended Jarret stood up straight, looking a bit embarrassed, and said “Thanks, man. This is a lot harder than I thought.”
Andy smiled warmly, looking up at the taller boy. “You're doing really good, though. It seemed like it took only a few minutes to have the first one.”
Jarret laughed at Andy's observation. “Maybe from the waiting room, but from my bed it seemed like years.” He lamented. He started to feel another twinge, this time turning and putting his palms against the wall of the shower, bending his knees in preparation. Andy stood back, partly to give his brother room, and partly to get a fuller view. As the contraction rolled in, Andy noted that his brother didn't really seem pregnant from this angle. His arms were trim and bulging with muscle, his back rippling and retaining its old V shape. Even his legs still looked long and athletic. Andy couldn't help but roll his eyes at the fact his brother looked like an Abercrombie model even while preparing to deliver a child. From this angle he could see clearly as his brother's muscles tightened wildly, each one in his back, legs and arms popping out of his skin as he strained. Jarret dropped his head down between his shoulders, panting and groaning. Andy decided to take charge, approaching slowly and then firmly putting his hands against Jarret's lower back, rubbing circles to try and soothe the muscles. Jarret relaxed noticeably as the contraction continued to torture him.
Eventually the two started to look like prunes, unable to stay in the shower any longer. Andy got out first, helping to guide Jarret out. The two dried off, then got redressed. Jarret's labor had picked up slightly, but not quite enough for him to be ready to give birth yet. He got back into his bed, this time without the stirrups. One of the nurses suggested that in order to speed up the contractions, Jarrett nurse his first twin. He was willing to do anything to speed things up, so agreed. The nurse brought the baby to the room, and they waited for a space in between contractions.
Jarrett brought the baby up to his pec and rested him against his aching belly. His gut was sore from the contractions, but his attention was taken off that when the infant started to nurse. He felt the incredible pressure release from his pec as the milk drained. A few minutes later Jarrett felt the familiar tightening in his back and alerted the nurse to take the baby. The contraction was a lot stronger and forced him on to his side, begging for pain killers. The nurse had explained that pain killers were not an option due to the fact that he had already delivered the first kid.
Jarret continued to labor for another 3 hours. He moaned and groaned as each contraction ripped through him. His belly, while still not as big, got bigger and tighter as each one came on. Having been though one delivery, Jarret was exhausted. He just wanted the second baby to get out. After 4 hours of labor, following a relatively quick delivery Jarret was screaming for a doctor. His parents were there wiping his forehead and giving him ice chips. Andy was standing near the head of the bed, having been asked by Jarret not to go near the other end for fear that he may see something he wasn't supposed to. The nurse came in and did a quick exam and confirmed he was back at 10cm, and ready to push. Jarret knew the drill. He was scooted closer to the edge of the bed, and legs were dropped into the stirrups. The doctor looked up Jarret's parents, “The second baby is coming any time now. Is everyone staying?” Andy shrunk back, almost hoping to blend into the wall. His mother turned and looked at him, tilting her head toward the door. “Lobby.” She ordered, then turned her attention back to Jarret. Andy inched toward the door at a snail's pace, waiting until everyone's attention was refocused before stopping near the door. Jarret was spread wide and waiting for his other son to exit his body.
With each push, he got closer. This one was a lot more difficult than the first. Maybe because he was tired, but he also thought he felt like this baby was bigger than the first. The head was wide and made its way slowly out of Jarret. The doctor had again removed the sheet so that Jarret's parents could witness the second miracle. Andy stood in complete awe behind everyone's back as Jarret bulged, then started to spread around the baby's head. With each groan from his older brother, the small baby seemed to shift forward even more. The firm thighs clenched, biceps bulging as he roared loud, putting his head back and pressing his eyes shut. The head spread him wider, then wider still until finally the chin popped free with what looked like an excruciating shake. The commotion died down for a moment and Jarret looked up, trying to see if he could catch a glimpse of his son's face. He saw his brother standing in the corner of the room and yelled, trying to order him out. Everyone else mistook this as another contraction and, thankfully for Andy, another one came. The whole family watched with hanging jaws as the two shoulders made their way forward, then the chest.
The baby was already active, flailing his arms as soon as they were free. This one was much larger, getting caught at the hips for a good forty five seconds before Jarret was finally able to push him free in a rush of fluids. Jarret's mother was in tears by now, overjoyed at the sight of a second healthy baby. Andy backed out through the door into the lobby while the nurses cleaned off the screaming bundle.
