Nine months of fear, nurturing and high expectations leads to frantic phone calls and a tense ride carrying a screaming woman and memories of an Eagles game back home. Times passes as pain is mildly diminished by drugs and comforting touches. Suddenly a simple room fills with waves of life’s first breath and all the inhabitants find themselves plunged and swimming through a salty ocean quickly shrinking to mere 19 inches. The inhabitants have no choice but to touch each other in this small space. Then like a magician pulling rabbits from a hat, two became three just like that.
