We
went
to
Marie
Callender
’
s
.
Mom
had
a
slice
of
pumpkin
and
of
banana
cream
.
I
had
blueberry
.
When
she
was
done
,
she
pushed
her
plate
away
and
announced
she
was
ready
to
go
to
the
midwife
.
We
’
d
never
really
talked
about
my
being
there
or
not
being
there
.
I
went
everywhere
with
Mom
and
Dad
at
that
point
,
so
it
was
just
kind
of
assumed
.
We
met
a
nerve
-
racked
Dad
at
the
birthing
center
,
which
was
nothing
like
a
doctor
’
s
office
.
It
was
the
ground
floor
of
a
house
,
the
inside
decked
out
with
beds
and
Jacuzzi
tubs
,
the
medical
equipment
discreetly
tucked
away
.
The
hippie
midwife
led
Mom
inside
and
Dad
asked
me
if
I
wanted
to
come
,
too
.
By
now
,
I
could
hear
Mom
screaming
profanities
.
"
I
can
call
Gran
and
she
’
ll
pick
you
up
,
"
Dad
said
,
wincing
at
Mom
’
s
barrage
.
"
This
might
take
a
while
.
"
I
shook
my
head
.
Mom
needed
me
.
She
’
d
said
so
.
I
sat
down
on
one
of
the
floral
couches
and
picked
up
a
magazine
with
a
goofy
-
looking
bald
baby
on
the
cover
.
Dad
disappeared
into
the
room
with
the
bed
.
"
Music
!
Goddammit
!
Music
!
"
Mom
screamed
.
"
We
have
some
lovely
Enya
.
Very
soothing
,
"
the
midwife
said
.
"
Fuck
Enya
!
"
Mom
screamed
.
"
Melvins
.
Earth
.
Now
!
"
"
I
’
ve
got
it
covered
,
"
Dad
said
.
Then
he
popped
a
CD
of
the
loudest
,
churningest
,
guitar
-
heaviest
music
I
’
d
ever
heard
.
It
made
all
the
fast
-
paced
punk
songs
Dad
normally
listened
to
sound
like
harp
music
.
This
music
was
primal
and
that
seemed
to
make
Mom
feel
better
.
She
started
making
these
low
guttural
noises
.
I
just
sat
there
quietly
.
Every
so
often
she
’
d
scream
my
name
and
I
’
d
scamper
inside
.
Mom
would
look
up
at
me
,
her
face
plastered
with
sweat
.
Don
’
t
be
scared
,
she
’
d
whisper
.
Women
can
handle
the
worst
kind
of
pain
.
You
’
ll
find
out
one
day
.
Then
she
’
d
scream
f
*
*
k
again
.
I
’
d
seen
a
couple
of
births
on
that
cable
-
TV
show
,
and
people
usually
yelled
for
a
while
;
sometimes
they
swore
and
it
had
to
be
bleeped
,
but
it
never
took
longer
than
half
an
hour
.
After
three
hours
,
Mom
and
the
Melvins
were
still
screaming
along
.
The
whole
birthing
center
felt
tropically
humid
,
even
though
it
was
forty
degrees
outside
.
Henry
dropped
by
.
When
he
came
inside
and
heard
the
noise
,
he
froze
in
his
tracks
.
I
knew
that
the
whole
kid
-
thing
freaked
him
out
.
