I was on vacation heading for the West Coast
It was the Bay City
A 4 days journey and no one is going to have pity
I was on a direct route being a thru-Coach from New York City to San Francisco, CA
But I am travelling on a Greyhound bus
Everything was going smoothly
Not until
The trip started with upcoming event with an Expectant Mother and Father to be who boarded in Omaha, NE
Well the announcement for my departure from Omaha for passengers to claim their seats
It was a highway ride through the darkened night
But me and the passengers don’t know, we are about to have a plight
Look at that, we arrived in Salt Lake City, Utah
We certainly travelled far
As too be expected, the Pregnant Woman travelling was having a few labor pains
But according to the schedule, we pushed on
We just crossed the Nevada State Line
But keep Baby arrival in mind
We made a brief rest stop, but the baby is ready to see the world
We the passengers noticed the Greyhound Driver counting her contractions
What luck, we were near a Major Hospital, and they were alerted, and the expectant Mother and Father to be got off as the Hospital staff carried the Pregnant Mother on a Stretcher off the bus
Meanwhile, the Driver announced what became a 30 minute stop was a two hour stop
Timing was everything at that point
Driver told us to sit back as he was going to make up time on the road that we loss
Somehow we arrived ahead of schedule on Greyhound into San Francisco, CA
Journey of course, but for the expectancy that is another story.
