Then they broke.
Poppy " my water just broke, oh babe, I'm scared, I don't want Phil to miss out on the birth of his baby "
Paul " think positive, and take deep breaths, I know it hurts gorgeous, you know I'm here, I'm your husband, and I love you with all my heart and I'll help you "
Poppy cried " it hurts so much " 😢
Paul " I know sweetie, you can do this "
Poppy " I don't think I can, I'm useless " 😭😭😭😭
Paul " hey don't say that, your a very clever young woman, you edit music videos, like you did for us, The Police, Genesis, Phil Collins, his album Face Value, Michael Jackson, you can do anything "
Poppy " thank you baby, aghhh, ohhhh, owwhh, the contractions are getting worse "
Paul " I'm gonna try and call for help "

Phil laughed " ahaha that sounds like Paul "
Sting " haha it does "
Paul screamed " WE'RE STUCK AND POPPY'S IN LABOUR "
Phil " oh my God Poppy's in labour "
Phil, Michael and Sting came running.
Phil banged on the door.
Phil " babe can you hear me? "
Poppy " yes sweetheart "
Phil " I'm so proud of you, if this door won't open, Paul can deliver the baby "
Poppy cried " I don't want you to miss out " 😭😭😭😭
Phil " stay strong honey, everything will be alright "

Paul comforted Poppy.
Paul " it's okay beautiful "
