Thirty-nine (21st August 2000)

  Rebecca Pov

  Ok so it was like 2 O'clock in the morning, I was wide awake due to having lower back pain, (though it wasn't unusual for me not to sleep anyway), (yeah insomnia's a bitch like that to be honest with you here), yes I have lived with it for the entirety of my adult life, that doesn't make it any less of a bitch though, (though I think the feeling is mutual if I'm being completely honest with you here).

  Before you go, 'wouldn't the fact that your back was sore be weird for you?', (which under normal circumstances, it would've been weird), I would like to add to that by saying that it wasn't really that weird to me that my back was sore as Levi and I had helped his sister Amy move house the day before, (she had a lot of shit in a tiny arse house is all I'm gonna say about that).

  Now looking back on it though, I don't know why da ja voi didn't start setting in for me at this point as this was almost exactly like how Jordan was born, (I think the fact that I was tired due to insomnia had something to do with it but that's only a theory I have and not an actual fact or anything like that as I don't have the actual answer for you here today, ya know).

  Levi then woke up, which I felt awful about, as he had work a couple of hours after this, but it was like he had a sixth sense when it came to me and my pain, (well after Jordan was born, that man was dead asleep before I woke him up), though I was very thankful for what seemed to be his sixth sense when it came to me, (so I didn't question it, when maybe I should've done).

  "Babes how- Babes are you ok?"

  "Yeah I'm fine Babe, don't worry about it"

  "You sure Babes, because you look like you're in pain"

  "I mean I am in a little bit of pain, but it's nothing to worry about though Li"

  "Babes, we both know that's not true"

  "Yeah alright, my lower back is bloody killing me here"

  Levi looked a bit panicked after I said that, probably because I was in pain and then said that I was fine, even though he knew that I wasn't, but I didn't want to worry him, (though it seemed like he was just so in-tuned with that kind of stuff, ya know), (though that's maybe because I don't always have the words to explain how I feel, ya know).

  "I don't want to worry you Babes"

  "Just say it Babe, honestly it'll be better for both of us if you just say it because we both know that I don't get when people tiptoe around what they mean"

  "Ok, isn't that how it started with Jordan?"

  "Yeah that's how- shit, Levi we don't even have any new born clothes as they all got destroyed in one way or another"

  So I then got out of bed as I knew that sometimes standing up eases the pain as there's less pressure on your back, (also I had personal experience on my side too which helped a little bit I suppose), and honestly I was willing to try anything to elevate the pain, (that shit's painful as fuck, so you would do anything to elevate the pain too).

  Anyway as I stood up from the bed, (as you do when you think that you're gonna give birth), my water broke, (yes, before you say anything, I know that most women would know that their pregnant before they give birth, I didn't know that I was as my periods had never been regular in my life, so naturally I didn't know), (also the fact that my period was irregular did cause me problems in my 30's and that was not fun).

  "Li"

  "Yeah Babes"

  "I, don't, think, that, we're, going, to, make, it, to, the, hospital"

  "Shit, ok Babes"

  Yeah I was right as we definitely didn't make it to the hospital as we didn't even make it to the car, well actually we didn't even leave the room, (yep, this was the point where the Da Ja Vou started to set in for me), so there was now a whole arse crying baby in my arms and I didn't know how to feel about it, (that was through pure shock rather than me not wanting another child), so in trying to get me out of being shocked, I then asked Levi about names.

  "Do you have any names?, I think my brain's too mushy to deal with this right now"

  "What about Violet?"

  "You know what, that works for me"
