Ayla hadn't really been feeling so great all day. She'd woken up feeling like she'd received a ton of bricks right on the head, and she'd felt so heavy and uncomfortable, not to mention how swollen her feet had been and how much her back ached, it was really quite ridiculous. But at least, that she could deal with. She'd been dealing with it for almost a month now, the constant feeling of discomfort and the need to pee that happened just way too frequently during the day. But at least that she had ways to deal with, and after going to the prenatal classes with Jared, they'd found ways to help with that too. He wasn't too bad at giving massages for the most part, though of course it was pretty obvious that he was no professional, but for her needs it definitely worked out, and usually kept her from feeling too much pain in her back on the days that it was really hard to deal with. She'd experienced a few fake types of contractions too, which really weren't pleasant at all, but at least they usually passed quick enough that it didn't ruin her plans for the day or anything.
So when she'd felt a contraction hit her that morning, not too long after she'd woken up, she hadn't thought too much of it. Today was graduation day though, and so she was really hoping things would go well baby-wise. However, when the second, third and fourth contractions had come, she'd started realizing that maybe this wasn't quite the same thing as before. They were a bit more painful too, and it seemed to her that there was a certain regularity between the time she got them. She ignored the signs, knowing that there was no way she'd stuck around all year and worked hard to get that stupid diploma, and there was no way she would not get it. Shawn had been all comfy for nine months now, he could wait a few more hours. And she was an actress, wasn't she? She could hide discomfort and pain. Or at least she could try to. She headed out to the school grounds with her gown when the time came, finding that having to sit still as the contractions got closer together most definitely did not help, but she tried to hold out still. Her water hadn't broken yet, so it was all just fine.
