False Alarm- Looking for Louie: 36 weeks

The school where I work has a no cell phone policy. Kids are not allowed to have them and if we see or hear them we are to confiscate them and their parents need to come in to retrieve it. At the start of the school year last week I showed them my cell phone and explained that when she goes into labour, she is going to call. My wife never calls the cell phone during the day.

Today, during the middle of a lesson with my 31 grade 7s, the cell phone rang. It was like time had stood still. My jaw dropped open and the kids all were staring. I finally stopped shaking and flipped it open I answered and they asked to speak to Louie. I said, "Sorry, wrong number," and the class broke out into laughter and I collapsed onto the floor. I have helped to get the room ready, assembled the crib, felt the baby kick and roll and sat through 16 hours of Mucus Plug Academy at the Grey Nuns, but I don't think the gravity of this situation hit me until that phone rang.
