Being reminded of his precious great-grandson, George also reacted, so he immediately urged him, -So, shall we go now?
-Yes!
Jack nodded, took out his cell phone to text Rachel asking for directions. Then he went out with Jorge.
In the middle of the night, Yanis slept groggily and suddenly felt a vibration under her pillow.
“Is it the phone?” Yanis was too tired, she obviously felt the impact, but her body didn’t react at all.
It vibrated for a while and finally stopped, but after a while it started vibrating again. Yanis forcibly reached out to take it under the pillow and then answered the call.
-Tell me……
His voice sounded weak and confused.
-Yanis! -Jack’s voice came clearly from the other side. Yanis frowned unconsciously, -Jack? Why are you calling me at this hour? Is something wrong?
-No! But my mom is going to give birth!
-Well… Who’s giving birth? What does it have to do with me…? Yanis stopped in mid-sentence. Then he panicked and snapped out of his drowsiness. He stood wide-eyed and sat up rising from the bed like a tent, -Alice is about to give birth?
-Yes, yes, Yanis. We are already at the hospital. I’ve called to inform my uncle to pick you up.
Although she had ten million doubts in her heart, Yanis became even more anxious at that moment and can only say, -All right. I’ll be right over.
Hanging up, Yanis quickly lifted the bedspread and got out of bed to change out of her pajamas. Then he picked up the cell phone and opened the door. He might have made too much noise. As he opened it, the door next door opened as well. Brisa narrowed her eyes and looked at it sleepily.
-Yanis, why don’t you sleep at midnight?
-Mom? -Seeing her standing there, Yanis felt guilty, “Is it the noise that woke you up? I’m sorry. Go back to sleep. I have to go out.
-What’s wrong? -Brisa frowned and went out.
-Alice is about to give birth. She’s in the hospital now.
-Alice is about to give birth? -Brisa was surprised, -Didn’t you say there are still two days left? Why is she about to give birth all of a sudden?
Yanis shook his head, -I don’t quite know. I just got a call from Jack, so I’ll go down first.
-Wait. It’s not safe for a girl to go out at this hour. Wait till I change my clothes and I’ll go with you.
-That’s not necessary mom! -Yanis stopped her and explained, “I’ll be picked up later. Don’t get involved in that.
Hearing what her daughter said, Brisa understood instantly and nodded, -Well, come down when the time comes. After all, it’s already midnight.
Yanis looked at the time and discovered that it was three in the morning. He would have to wait a while if he wanted to go straight downstairs.
Then, in the next little while, Brisa was sitting waiting with Yanis in the living room. The clock was ticking, which could be heard especially clearly in the silent night.
It was not known how much time had passed, Yanis was urging his mother to go back to the room to sleep, but Brisa was always unwilling and insisted on staying there to wait.
No way, Yanis no longer persuaded her.
Finally, Yanis’ cell phone lit up and it was Zain’s call.
Yanis quickly got up and answered it, -Tell me?
-I’ve already arrived downstairs. Are you ready?
-Yes. I’m leaving right away,” Yanis hung up and turned to look at Brisa, “Mom, go back to sleep. Zain is already downstairs.
Brisa walked to the window and opened it to take a look. Sure enough, a family car was parked there. She nodded her head looking at Yanis calmly, -It’s okay. Go away. I’ll go back to sleep right away. Pay attention to safety on the road.
-Okay, Mom! -Yanis opened the door and then ran downstairs.
In the silent night, only one car stopped by the street lamp. Yanis ran and grabbed the door to sit in the passenger seat.
Brisa watched her upstairs get into the car. After realizing she would not be in danger, she closed the window and went back to the room to sleep in peace.
The car turned around and drove off.
-The seat belt.
Zain reminded him and Yanis reacted immediately. He hurried to fasten it, while asking her, -Isn’t Alice still two days away? Ahead of schedule? Is something wrong?
Probably because his younger sister was due to give birth, Zain was a little worried and the expression on his face looked quite serious.
-I’m not sure. Let’s go to the hospital first.
-Okay.
When the two rushed to the hospital, Alice had already entered the delivery room. Only Rachel and Jack remained outside.
Seeing the two people coming, Rachel and George nodded their heads in greeting.
-Zain, Yanis. -Jack ran towards them.
-Jack, where is your mom? -Yanis asked, panting.
-Mom has gone into the delivery room.
Hearing him, Yanis looked around and asked, “And did your father go in with her?
Jack blinked and nodded, “Yes!
The corners of Yanis’ lips twitched. “He’s accompanied his wife to give birth.” she thought.
Still a little surprised, Yanis felt envious again after her next thoughts. She wondered if her husband would be with her when she gave birth in the future.
Thinking about it that way, Yanis couldn’t help but give Zain a glance. The man was still frowning, who didn’t notice Yanis’ sight and thoughts at that moment.
-What did the doctor say, why did she give birth early, will she be in danger?
Hearing her question, Yanis realized he was thinking about things he shouldn’t be thinking about at that hour. He shook his head and walked forward.
Seeing that they were both very worried, Rachel stood up and said comfortingly, -Don’t be nervous. Just two days in advance, not two months. It’s normal.
Rachel had been a doctor, and what she said was still persuasive. The others were relieved when they heard the words.
Then they sat together in the chair in the hospital hallway.
In the delivery room.
Alice was lying on the bed in waves of cold sweat. Kennedy was accompanying her on one side, holding her hand throughout.
But as far as facial expressions go, Kennedy’s expression was much uglier than Alice’s, who could break out in a colder sweat than his wife.
Alice took a moment to look at her husband. When she saw him like that, she couldn’t help but smile.
-I’m the one who gave birth and not you. Why do you have an expression that is more painful than mine?
Kennedy was speechless.
Hearing that, he squeezed her hand for a few minutes and asked quietly, -Painful, isn’t it?
Alice shook her head, “Fortunately, I can bear it.
The first child had been born. The second would be much easier than before. Although Alice was still very uncomfortable, she didn’t decide to scare him when she saw her man so nervous.
After thinking about it, Alice asked him, “Would it be better for you to leave first and wait for me to stop?
Hearing this, Kennedy shook his head firmly, -I’m here to escort you.
