"Damn she's thick." We both hear.
I move to step over towards him. Eureka holds my arm drawing my attention back on her. She gets on her tippy toes. I brace forwards to cut the gap between us. Eureka holds around my neck putting her fac...

"Baby breathe with me. In... Out... In. out. In. Out. You can do it Detka."
"Okay. I'm breathing." Her shallow voice whimpers.
Eureka's forehead gathers more sweat as the minutes go by. We're about four hours in. Doctor Johnson said she needs to be more dilated before she's ready to pushing. I've been by her side, holding her hand, wiping her forehead, doing eveything possible to ease the pain she's feeling throughout this experience.
I don't how I've been able to keep up the strong front I've presented since we started. But I'm anything but strong. Inside I'm falling apart because she has to do this and there's nothing I can do about it. I can't take her pain away. I can't deliver our sons in her place.
"Again baby. In. Out. In. Out. I got you."
"That's it Eureka. We're centimeters left to go. I can almost see the first baby's head."
"Ugh God! It hurts!!" Eureka screams at me.
"I know baby. I know. You're almost there."
Her brown eyes pool with unshed tears. Even at this very second, Detka takes my breath away, literally. I lean in kissing her forehead. Moving a braid out the way. She scrunch up her eyebrows. Breathing in and out hard in fluid motion.
"Whee, whoo. Whee, whoo. Doctor I need them out! Pleaseee!!"
I look up at Doctor Johnson. She's focused in-between Detka's legs. From where I sit I can't see what's going on down there. I'm curious to see but I don't know if I'm strong enough to witness my sons journey into this world.
Detka made me promise beforehand to not look. Saying she doesn't want me seeing her vagina stretched out. Why I have no idea?
It's totally natural. But I respect her wish.
"I need you to push now. Eureka give me a big push." Doctor Johnson's commands bringing me out my reverie. At the sound of this Detka's grip tightens as she starts pushing with the life of her.
"Uhh ohhh. Ugh!!!"
"One more time Eureka. Push!"
"You can do this baby." I tell her as I wipe away perspiration from her forehead.
"Ughh. Ohhh!!!"
"That's it Eureka. I can see the head. Give me two more."
"I can't. It hurts! I can't push!"
Detka looks at me breathing deeply. Tears leaking, tiny drops of pearls trail her dark skin. I hold her face kissing her forehead.
"Yes you can baby. You are the strongest woman I know. You can do this love. Our son's are waiting to see their mother. Squeeze my hand until you cut off my circulation if you need to. Break it I don't care. Do whatever you need, to feel better."
