I’m in the backseat. And the car is surrounded by goats.
‘Mavis. Susie. Clementine.’ He acknowledges each of them as they pass.
‘Darl, look! It’s Josie. She’s just about to pop like you.’
I groan as another contraction reaches its peak.
He furrows his brow and mutters, ‘She seems to be handling it better though.’
‘Just. Get. Us. Moving! For God’s sake.’
‘Oh look, Darl! Josie’s coming to say hello.
The goat sticks her head through the open back window and bleats a loud ‘baaaaa’ right into my face.
I really shouldn’t have married a goat farmer.

Oh that poor woman! You’ve built the story very well, Jessie. Enjoyed it.
Thanks for the lovely comment Karen!
Hahaha! Oh, what a predicament THAT certainly was. I could see it coming without a telescope. Fun read!
Thank you – glad it made you laugh. I was feeling a bit silly this week.
Very cute story and hope she makes it to the hospital in time. They have a lot of kids to get out of the way. Excellent! Nan 🙂
Thanks Nan! Glad you liked it. I like the description of ‘cute’… that how I feel it is!
A great, fun story Jessie, well done, I enjoyed reading it.
Thank you for reading Maree!
Funny! Good one! 🙂
Thanks Caerlynn!!
Ha ha! Poor thing. I hope she doesn’t have to have her baby alongside a goat!
They could go through it together! Thanks for the read 🙂
Having given birth to four children in four years myself, your story definitely resonates with me. Love the humour!
Thanks Di! Did you nearly have any of them roadside?
I enjoyed your take on the prompt. Of course, if a baby is about to be born en route, she’ll be glad daddy has some experience birthing kids.
Cheers!

Haha MG… that’s a very good point!
Dear Jessie,
I hope he’s brought the kid gloves since he’s about to deliver his own kid. Entertaining take on the prompt.
Shalom,
Rochelle
Thanks Rochelle. I really appreicate the time you take to comment on each of these stories!
Not kidding was he? For that could really get someone’s goat. Nice one.
Haha… I love a good pun or two!
Oh! Some men are so DENSE! Saying hello to all the goats while his wife is in agony in the back seat. Kudos!
Yes, dense is certainly a good description!!
Jessie, A good and funny story. 😀 I think if I was about to give birth a goat would be the last think I would want to smell. 😀 I hope she makes it to the hosital on time. Well written. —Susan
Oh I know what you mean about smells!! Get them away! Thanks for reading 🙂
Please forgive that “hospital” typo. —Susan
I wouldn’t have even noticed the typo!!! Who has time to notice typos?
