Hi everyone! I am back with chapter that I was saddened to write. This chapter was a bit hard to write because anyone who knows the outcome of this episode and I had been dreading to write. But I want to publish it to move forward with the series. Anyways, enjoy reading chapter 5. This was the easiest chapter to come up with the title when the episode is about one person that everyone loves. 

Is anyone going to see Downton Abbey 2: A New Era movie?? I am and I am not going to spoil anything. I can't wait to see it!!

Enjoy reading Chapter 5 - Sybil.

Late May 1920. Emma waited anxiously as she stood next to Edith at the end of Sybil's bed, she was observing Doctor Clarkson, who was assessing Sybil, using his stethoscope to examine Sybil's heartbeat. Just a few moments ago, Sybil had woken up in pain and Tom had immediately called for Doctor Clarkson, fearing the worst was happening. Emma hoped that the last stages of pregnancy wasn't going to be so rough as she had seen now.

'The pains have stopped. Nothing will happen yet.' Doctor Clarkson assured Sybil.

Emma smiled in relief and smiled reassuringly at her little sister.

'Thank goodness.' Emma murmured.

Then everyone had walked out of the room where they had seen a pale and anxious Tom.

'Everything is fine.' Clarkson said.

Tom sighed in relief.

'You mean it was a false alarm?' Robert asked.

'Not exactly,' Clarkson explained. 'These early labour pains show that the womb is preparing itself for birth.'

Robert's expression was priceless and Emma flinched a little, she stared at her large bump, she herself was starting to feel anxious about giving birth. James had seen Emma's face and he went over to her and pulled her into a one arm side embrace.

Cora turned to Doctor Clarkson and said, 'Doctor Clarkson, I'm afraid Lord Grantham doesn't enough medical detail. 'The point is can we all go back to bed?'

Clarkson nodded and replied, 'You can. And so can I.'

'I'll see you out.' Mary offered kindly.

'Sir Philip Tapsell will be here tomorrow.' Robert informed Clarkson.

'Of course. If you think it advisable.'

Robert, Cora and Edith made their way back to their rooms. Tom went over to the doctor.

'There really is nothing wrong?' he asked with concern.

'Nothing at all. She is a healthy young woman going through a very normal and natural process.'
