She went into labor Friday. The calculus two test over integration using trigonometric substitution was scheduled for the following Monday.
Robert stood by her with paper and pencil. He would find a problem for her, and then write it down, and then copy her instructions as she solved the problem.
"I've never seen a woman study while in labor," the doctor said. "But if it takes your mind off of the struggle."
"Does it help you?" Robert asked?
She laughed, somewhat sarcastically. "No. But you can imagine that you are killing the guy who did this to you again, and again, and again."
"So you want to kill him more than once."
She thought about it for a second. "Yes."
Soon after that she was too stressed to solve problems, so they tested each other over the integrals they needed to have memorized for the test.



"I think he wants to come now," she said.
"Hold him back, you are not dilated enough. If you give birth now, it will damage you."
"So sew me when it's over."
"Hold him in," the doctor commanded in a stern voice.
She couldn't think of calculus any more.



"Fucking Hell God damn it! Why do they make us memorize all those integrals. That is bullshit!" she screamed.
"Ten centimeters of dilation. You are ready."
She did it.
