The Hospital

*convecies nurse to let her past*
*sees crash*
alright there is the room
I'd ask how she is doing but I could hear the screams from the lobby
Guess we wait out here

*to Monica*
I'm staying down here. She already has a lot of visitors. But maybe, if you want to, for a couple minutes, if she doesn't mind. I'm not sure, I haven't been up there yet.
*sighs* No contraction at the moment. You should be okay, for a couple minutes. They've been pretty spaced, so she's not too far along... *rubs forehead*

*walks in and flinches*
*looks at chart*
*monotone*
Well she does seem to be a bit early.
Nothing to worry about.

*looks around*
I'm afraid only three people should be in here.
The husband, and I know she'll want-
*looks down at clipboard*
Um, A Rizzo, and A Jackie?

Those are the names. Everyone else leave.

*goes over to Jumpy*
Oh they are a bit spaced, but you're almost fully dilated.
This baby is coming soon.

*looks at Jumpy*
Try less screaming.

*eyes widen as she hears that she is supposed to stay in the room*

uh...

Jumpy... are you sure you want me to stay? I mean...

*cowers slightly and shuts up as Jumpy screams more*

Damn Wolf Hearing

NOT SCREAM?!
I COULD SAY MUCH TO THAT.
JUST GET THIS DAMN THING OUT NOW!

and yes Jackie.
please?

*flinches*
*clears throat*
I wouldn't argue with her, doc.

*dissapointed but doesnt let it show*

..

*walks out of the room without a word*

I uh...


*shifts weight from one foot to the other*

I can try...

*smiles at Jumpy*

*catches Scorp by the arm*
No brother of mine is going to miss the birth of my kid.
And I'm sure Jumpy wants you to stay, too.

*GLARES AT DOCTOR*
You wait. One minute.
Don't tell me what to do.
Has a baby ever come from you vagina?
No. okay then.
Oh and my brother will stay, You argue and I will kill you.

Thanks Angelo, *nods* Jumpy

*gladly stays*

My husband stays with me.
Don't argue with me either.
Unless you want two screaming women in the room.

*narrows eyes*
Fine. Just stay back.
And Don't smart mouth me young lady.
She isn't even old enough to have a baby. hmp.
You're almost ready. When I say push, push. But not until then.

*narrows eyes also*
I'm older than I look, doctor.
And I don't take orders from anyone.

*starts to say something else, but gets stopped by Scorp*
*glares, but purses lips and says nothing more.*

I'LL PUSH WHEN I'M EFFIN READY. OLD MAN.
YOU CAN EFFING PUSH IF YOU LIKE.

FINE! PUSH! NOW!
NOW!
GOOD GIRL!
ALMOST!
Okay. Okay. I have the head.
Good. Keep pushing.
Good.
*babies cries*

Good job.
You have a baby boy.

*sighs*
A boy Angelo.
Our little Dante.
*passes out*


(locked until tomorrow!)

*suppresses a yawn... again*
*was awake all night long*

*glances around room*

*sneaks out into lobby, and sits down in a chair*

I really shouldn't miss out on sleep... especially while I'm pregnant...
It's not a good outcome...

*falls asleep in the chair*

*feels shaky*

*figures she must look pale*

*goes over cautiously and kisses Jumpys forehead*

*sneaks out of the room and collapses next to Crash, hugging his side and burying her face in his shoulder*

*wakes up with wide eyes as Jackie collapses next to me and burries her face into my shoulder with her arms around me*

Oh, it's you

*spoken in a muffled voice*

Hello.

*shudders*

Blood.

*shivers again*

But she had the baby, a boy. And as far as I know she's fine. They're both fine.

Outside nursery

*watches through window, arms crossed*
*thinks*
That's my son.
I'm a father now.
Dante is coming home with us, and we're going to be PARENTS.

*wakes up*
Angelo?
*opens eyes*
*looks around*
Um. Where am I?
*struggles to sit up*
Oh. that hurts.
Wait. I had my baby. I had my baby.

*peers in doorway*
Jumpy?
*stands by bedside*
*kisses forehead*
How are you feeling, love?

Angelo!
*smiles*
I'm fine.
Where's our baby?
I want to see him.
I want to hold him.
