“Sean is devastated that he didn't make it in time. But no one expected Florence to have the baby ahead of time...

“Yes Steve, it was amazing! She was just there, like she wasn't even in pain, and it all happened so fast! It felt like the baby was going down a toboggan run!

"And you watched it all?" I thought they didn't...

"I figured it out!" — I blink. Better not tell my little lie. “Steve, it wasn't scary at all. I was scared for nothing. I'm sure I'll be like Florence and have my baby like a lady.

“I'm glad you stopped that fear.

"Let's see the baby!"

- Go fast!

- What's it?

"Nothing... It's just better that that nurse doesn't catch up to us."

— Natasha, what did you do this time?

— I had to make up that I was married to Florence to let me watch the birth!

"Has she gone crazy?"

"It was the only way!" Now run I think she's coming with security...

I quicken my pace as Steve curses behind me.
