Sharon helped her pregnant nephew downstairs and onto the couch. As Scott sat down, he heard his stomach grow.
"Oh god," Scott said "Why the hell am I so hungry"
"Oh, well that's easy enough to explain. Your mother had a C-section" Shanon said simply.
"Meaning...."
"The doctors told her to starve for 24 hours before surgically removing you from your mother." Shanon quickly added, "but we can't do that now, you need to schedule an appointment weeks in advance."
"Oh. Well I guess that explains it." Scott looked around. "Are you sure the only thing we can do is wait?"
"Yes," was the stern reply. "We can't do anything until you are at least 10 cm dialated."
"Can I watch TV at least" asked Scott.
"Of course, if you feel up to it. Once the contractions start up again though, you may not have the strength or energy to concentrate on anything else."
Scott sighed as he turned onto the tube. He hoped he could at least watch a few shows before it got too painfull.
