Quick would still be better, she thought, lest she end up losing her balance if the contractions came quicker or whatever, but she nodded. Appreciating the reassurance, and the fact that he was taking time to help her, she gave him a smile, moving past him into the tiny space.
As much as she was looking forward to the arrival of their daughter, at this point she was almost equally excited about having her body back. The constant changes were miraculous on one hand--on the other, she sometimes felt like she wasn't herself anymore, and never moreso than when trying to do things that used to be so simple before.
Still, she managed the small space and reminded herself that it wouldn't be so cramped the next time she took a shower, because she'd no longer feel like a whale. That in mind she stripped and got under the warm water, letting it relax her the best she could.
