love is not always a ♥️

10. host-pital?

"And this is for the baby if they accidentally spill juice on the other 15 pairs of clothes," El gushed handing Robin another yellow baby bib.

They were hanging out with the kids in a little room Steve had fixed up and decorated for the baby. Robin had bawled when he surprised her with it.

Suddenly she felt a dampness climb down her legs.

"Um, Rob. I think you pissed yourself," Mike muttered staring at the puddle under her feet.

"No. You dumbass. Her fucking water broke," Max rolled her eyes.

Fuck. She was in labour. 

Robin glanced helplessly at them, wide-eyed.

Eleven took charge, " Dustin, grab her hospital bag, Mike, phone the doctor."

Max chimed in, "Lucas, call Steve. But don't say Rob's in labour, he will go absolutely mental. Say something like...Dustin fell over. That will make him mental enough to hurry his ass up."

Lucas nodded.

Max and El reassuringly waited on either side of Robin as the girl took sharp breaths with every contraction.

Less than ten minutes later, the door burst open and a wild wide-eyed Steve stumbled into the room, "Where is Henderson?! Is he okay?!"

Lucas gently grabbed Steve's shoulders and slowly spoke to him, " I need you to stay calm Steve. Dustin is fine."

The man looked at him defiantly, " I will determine that when I see him."

Just then Dustin walked into the room, he spoke to Lucas, not spotting Steve yet," Hey bro, when is Steve coming? Robin said if he doesn't arrive soon she'll have to birth the baby on the floor...Oh hey Steve."

Steve's face practically drained from colour and his eyes grew as wide as saucers,"ROBIN'S IN LABOUR?!"

He didn't even wait for an answer as he rushed into baby's room, only to be greeted by a red faced Robin and two supportive girls.

"Come on. Let's get the car ready," Max whispered to El.

Steve pounced on Robin, " OH MY GOD. OH MY GOD. OH MY GOD. THE BABY'S COMING!?"

The girl grimaced in return.

Steve was frantic, "Right. Hospital. I need to get you to the hospital. Do you ever wonder why it's called a hospital? Why can't it be just called sick help or something? I mean it hosts patients I know, but what is a pital? Maybe people sounded too basic so they called them a pital"

Robin touched Steve's shoulder, "You're rambling ."

He just nervously chuckled, " Yeah, that's your thing."

"Steve."

"Right." He scurried out of the room.

Robin just stared at the door, waited patiently for Steve to realise he forgot her.

He rushed back in,"Fuck.fuck.FUCK! I forgot my wife."

Steve scooped Robin up and carried her to the car. His hands were shaking.

"Stay safe shitheads," he quickly pecked Dustin's head and then hurried into the car.

The journey to the hospital was stressful, with them swerving and dodging other objects and cars.

Steve's eyes would glance over to Robin's doubled over figure.

She suddenly wailed as a sharp pain stabbed into her stomach. Steve got flashbacks of her almost miscarriage and was terrified.

"Breathe.Breathe.Just breathe. Please breathe. Breathe babe. Breathe-"

"Steve, I love you, but shut up!"Robin scolded.

"Sorry. Love you too babe." He sheepishly mumbled.

Steve skidded into the parking lot and sprung out the car.

Robin was whisked away once again and he was alone with his thoughts.
