When I’m coherent enough to realize it’s my cell phone, I reach for it where it’s sitting on the nightstand. With my head still smashed into my pillow, I swipe my thumb across the screen and put the phone to my ear. “Hello?” My voice is muffled by the pillow and gravelly from sleep. “Dennis!” Lizette gasps into the phone. Her tone has me pushing up to my elbows. “Lizzie? You okay?” “On our way to the hospital, my water broke about an hour ago,” she says quickly before groaning in pain. “Contractions are getting bad.” I’m pretty sure my heart just took a flying leap off a building. “Holy shit! Holy shit! Okay! We’ll meet you at the hospital!” “Okay,” she grits out and hangs up. When I turn to wake Tucker, I find him already getting out of bed. He obviously heard me. I sit up and put my leg on, but then I just sit there in utter shock, my little sister is about to have a baby.
