Tim pulls into the drive way of the Lundquist home. He had promised Rob that he would help finish up getting things ready for the nursery today.

Rob's wife Kelsey was due to give birth at any time and the tour had gotten Rob behind in finishing the baby's room.

The air had a eerie feel to it. The clouds were dark and stormy looking but there was no wind at all. You could cut the humidity with a knife. Which made Tim wonder why he even wore a jacket.

Tim rings the doorbell and smiles to himself as he hears Penny Lane barking. She was Rob's black Lab and Satchmo's best buddy.

"Hey Tim." Kelsey smiles as she opens the door.

Hey Kel." Tim smiles as he leans over and kisses her on the cheek. "You're looking like you're ready to pop." He chuckles.

"I feel like I'm ready to pop." She groans lightly and rubs her over sized stomach.

"So where's your old man at?" Tim ask as he takes off his jacket and lays it on the back of the couch.

"Oh, he had to take my car to the garage to have it checked out. It's been making some weird noises. He'll be back soon. Would you like a beer?"

"A beer would be great, Thanks." Tim says as he heads to the room they were making into a nursery. "He better be back soon, cause I've never put a baby bed together in my life."

He opens the huge box and begins to pull out all the parts to the crib. Sitting down in the floor, he slips on his glasses and begins to look over the directions. Matching up the parts he had laid out in front of him.

"So" Kelsey smiles as she hands him his beer. "When are you and Jenika gonna start thinking about having a baby?"

She giggles as Tim jumps and looks up at her with a mixture of shock and fear in his eyes.

"I didn't know we were." Tim says. "Why? Did she say anything about wanting a baby?"

"No." Kelsey laughs. "Don't start panicking. I just think that Jenika would be a great mother."

"Oh, I do too." Tim says before turning his attention back to the directions he held in his hands. "I just don't think I would be a great dad."

"Oh, Don't say that." Kelsey pouts.

A very loud clap of thunder shakes the house causing Kelsey to scream and cover her ears.

"SH*T!" Tim yells as he jumps from the sudden thunder, scattering the bag of screws and washers all over the floor.

Tim quickly gets up from the floor and heads to a window to look out, followed closely by Kelsey.

Penny Lane was going nuts, barking and whining and trying to find somewhere to hide.

"I don't have a very good feeling about this." Tim says as he looks outside at the threatening weather. "I knew it felt pretty weird outside when I drove up."

"Tim, I'm scared. I hate storms." Kelsey says as she looks out the window beside him.

"It'll be alright." Tim says not sounding too sure of himself.

Lightening streaks across the sky causing them both to jump away from the window.

"That was a little close." Tim chuckles, brushing his hair back nervously.

The sound of the tornado siren causes them both to freeze.

"Oh, F*CK!" Tim says loudly. "Don't ya'll have a basement?"

Kelsey nods as she stares at Tim, too frightened to speak.

"Kel, Sweetie. Where's the basement?" Tim asks trying hard not panic her.

She grabs him by the hand and quickly leads him to the door leading to the basement.Tim turns on the lights in the basement then starts to help Kelsey down the steps. Penny Lane runs down the steps in front of them.

"Be careful." Tim says, as he holds on too her hand. He closes and locks the door behind them.

The basement was set up with furniture, Rob's little man cave he calls it. Complete with a big screen television for watching the games.

"I guess.... we'll just wait it out here." Tim says as he hugs a trembling Kelsey to him. "It's gonna be alright." He rubs her back comforting her.

The lights flicker and then everything goes dark.

"Oh Hell no." Tim breaths.

"There's flashlights in the drawer under the television." Kelsey tells him.

"I'll be right back." Tim says as he begins to feel his way in the dark, trying to find the television.

He finds the t.v. then feels around for the drawers underneath. "Found it"

"Oh my God. Tim?" Kelsey calls from the couch.

"Yea?" He answers as he turns on a flashlight to make sure it works. He turns the light toward Kelsey and freezes as his eyes widen in shock at the sight.

She stares at him in fear then slowly looks down. Her maternity pants were wet, her water had broke.

"No, no, no, no." Tim mumbles as he slowly walks toward her. "Kelsey, you can't do this to me."

"It's not like I planned it, Tim." She cries and then screams out in pain.

"Sh*t, Kel. You need to stop this somehow." Tim says. "I can't do this."

"I CAN'T STOP IT!!" She yells in pain. "SHE'S COMING!"

"NO SHE CAN'T! NOT NOW!!" Tim yells in panic.

"Tim, I don't need you to start panicking." Kelsey says as she tries her best to calm down.

"Well, it's a little late for that, don't you think?" Tim says as he paces back and forth. "We have a d*amn tornado bearing down on us and you're fixing to have a baby. I got good reason to panic."

"Tim, Hun. Come here." She says holding out her hand.

Tim walks over, stooping down in front of her and takes her hand.

"Kelsey, I don't know what to do." Tim whispers.

"Call 911." Kelsey says as she tries to keep her breathing normal.

Tim reaches for his phone. "D*MN IT!!! My phone is in the pocket of my jacket upstairs."

Kelsey screams out in pain as she begins to try and lie down on the couch.

"Kelsey?" Tim softly whispers as he wipes the sweat from her forehead.

"Tim, she's coming." Kelsey nods as a tear rolls down her cheek.
