Ready or not, here she comes;

[hushed-aria.livejournal.com]

[It has been a while since this Namine has been seen around, probably due to the fact her baby bump is now looking like a baby mountain. She managed to sneak away from her room long enough to make a trip to the music room. She seems content enough now that she's had some alone time, and is waddling her way back to her room when she suddenly stops, letting out an 'oof'. A hand flies to her belly as her eyes widen.]

Uh oh...

[ooc: Just an fyi, Addie's actual birthday is November 28th, but because I work in retail, this post had to be posted early.]

[Your fiancee is on his way back from the library right now, but- hey hey, what are you doing out of bed.]

Namine?

[hushed-aria.livejournal.com]

R-Riku--

[Blinks a bit, clutching to the wall.]

I think... it's--

[--Time!]

[sundowningly.livejournal.com]

[Oh god what, now?]

...Alright, just. Keep calm, okay?

[A-am I supposed to carry you or what.]

[hushed-aria.livejournal.com]

[Yes! Now!]

Yes, I'm calm.

[Pauses, breathing slowly.]

We need to get back to the room.

so much for notifs >:|

[sundowningly.livejournal.com]

Probably a good idea, yes.

[Come on let's go, before you give birth in the hallway 8|]

[Good idea. Holds onto him as she walks.]

[sundowningly.livejournal.com]

[trying to walk quickly, but not rush her. Once they're back in the room, he'll help her over to the bed before digging out his medical supplies.]

[hushed-aria.livejournal.com]

[Bed, get. She looks a bit nervous as he starts getting out supplies. Shall we skip to a couple hours later?]

[sundowningly.livejournal.com]

[Skipping to the fun part, oh joy. Not that there's much for him to do but wait and watch and make sure she's as comfortable as possible.]

[hushed-aria.livejournal.com]

[Fun. Right. At this point she is using the bathroom every five seconds and walking around a bit every now and then before laying back down. And as soon as she seems to relax, she looks to Riku.]

Can you check how dilated I am?

[sundowningly.livejournal.com]

[Does indeed check!]

You're at about 5 cm. You holding up okay?

[hushed-aria.livejournal.com]

[Sighs.]

Yeah, I'm fine. This waiting is just driving me insane...

[sundowningly.livejournal.com]

That's all?

[Smiles a little uneasily.]

What about the contractions, are they getting closer together?

[hushed-aria.livejournal.com]

[Blank stare.]

What contractions?

[sundowningly.livejournal.com]

[Slightly alarmed stare.]

What do you- You are feeling contractions, right? I mean, you must be...

[hushed-aria.livejournal.com]

N-No... I'm not feeling anything. Should I be?!

[Good job, Riku, now you've got her worried.]

Riku! Is there something wrong? What if there's something wrong with the baby!

[sundowningly.livejournal.com]

[Aw crap. So much for 'don't panic the pregnant woman'. Comes over to her side.]

Calm down, I'm sure the baby's fine. You're saying you haven't felt anything at all?

[hushed-aria.livejournal.com]

Well... other than her moving around. She's been moving around a lot since I thought I started labor, and I feel a tightening, but it always stops before it ever gets painful...

[sundowningly.livejournal.com]

I guess that's the contractions then. Still, there's no pain at all?

[hushed-aria.livejournal.com]

[Shakes her head.]

Not anything other than when she moves around.

[sundowningly.livejournal.com]

[He's trying to hide the worry in his face at that, but she can probably see right through it since she can read him so well.]

[hushed-aria.livejournal.com]

[She sees it alright, and now she's tearing up, flailing a little.]

What is it? What's wrong?!

[sundowningly.livejournal.com]

[Says nothing for a moment, only because he really doesn't know what to tell her. Obviously 'I don't know' is a bad idea, but. He really has no idea what else to tell her.]

...I don't know. But I'll figure it out. Everything'll be fine. I'll make everything fine.

[hushed-aria.livejournal.com]

[Okay, calm. stay calm. she's just going to take his hand with a smile.]

I know you will.

[sundowningly.livejournal.com]

[He shouldn't be the one trying to relax here, but. He's going to need some tea when this is all over with.]

Just... try to time the contractions as best you can. Let me know when they start getting close together.
