Miraculous - The New Guardian

Part 129 - She's something

While Nathalie, Gabriel and their newborn daughter arrived at the hospital with the ambulance, Audrey was pacing the waiting area up and down, while Claire was with Emily inside the hospital room to do a quick examination.

After being finished, she called the style queen back in to then tell them both the actual facts, when all three phones chimed.

"Let me inform you quickly, then you can look!", she pleaded and the couple agreed.

"I am afraid, you're going to be here for quite some time, because you're only three centimetres dilated yet. So I will just leave you for some time, maybe you can even manage to sleep a little bit, until the contractions are becoming worse."

"Great!", Emily groaned, "I was hoping for a quick one, but well, it is as it is right?"

Chuckling Audrey took her hand and squeezed it softly.

"I'll be here with you all the time!", she cooed.

Claire had taken out her phone and read the message, that her husband had sent to her and instantly blurted out:

"Oh my Gosh, this is....oh my....they were so lucky!"

"What is it? Did something happen?", Emily now questioned, as she noticed the young female's shocked expression.

"Uhm....it's about Gabriel and Nathalie. They had a small accident with the car and as if this wasn't enough, she already had the baby.....in the car. I need to sit down for a minute, this is......wow!"

The red haired physician shook her head and took a deep breath.

Emily had tightened her grip around her loved one's hand and was shaking now.

"Oh dear!", she hissed, "are they alright? Did any of them get hurt?"

Claire shook her head again, then explained:

"It doesn't seem like it, but they are actually on their way here with the ambulance, Jaques had called before he even knew about Nathalie being in labour too. He has finished Chloe's ultrasound examination by now too, and they're all coming here to support you, now that Nathalie and Gabriel are rather busy! Rather busy, he has a weird humor sometimes!"

She couldn't believe her husband. Being busy, after going through a stressful situation like that.

"Aud....would you please....", she paused to take a couple of deep breaths, then continued, "hand me my phone? I wanna see, if they texted me too. And check yours. Who knows, what else is going on!"

The editor did as she was asked and took both devices out of their pockets. Emily had a picture of little Virginie from Gabriel and blurted out, with tears in her eyes:

"Oh my God. She looks so much like Gabriel. Look, honey!"

Audrey, who had read her messages with narrowed brows, took a glimpse and stated dryly:

"Indeed, the poor thing!"

"Oh will you just shut up!", the now fully crying woman ranted, she looks adorable. And such a beautiful name! Claire, come and look!"

The doctor walked back to the bed and gazed down at the phone, then giggled.

"I'd say you're both right. The poor thing looks adorable!"

"You're both mean. She might not be as pretty as Aimée was, when she was born, but she is incredibly cute! What if our daughter won't look the way you want her to? Will you say something like that then too, Audrey?"

"Would you rather have me lying? By the way, I've tried my best, to love André for more than twenty years. Don't you think I can treat our child, that the person I have been truly loving over all this time, brought into this world, the way it deserves?
