Omniscient POV

Y/n, Bey, and her kids all landed safely and exited the plane swiftly. Luckily, Mama Tina was there to pickup her grandchildren for the night. She greeted her daughter and Y/n before they hopped in their Mercedes Benz Sprinter and headed for the hospital. Unfortunately for them, the snow had picked up in Napa, leaving them no choice but to drive. Julius, however, made sure to make the trip as quick as possible.

As soon as she landed, Y/n turned off airplane mode, reconnected her cellular data, and called Megan. She never dreaded the sound of the phone ringing more than this moment. Luckily, it didn't take long for her to answer.

"Y/n, please tell me you landed." Megan spoke frantically but still with a sense of calmness. She didn't want to spook Normani.

"I landed, I'm in the car now. We're coming as fast as we can. How is she? Did I miss it?" Y/n asked.

"Don't worry, she's fine. You didn't miss a thing. She's only about two centimeters dilated." Y/n took a huge sigh of relief and finally relaxed a bit.

"Thank god." She leaned back into her seat. "Can I talk to her?"

"Of course." Y/n waited as Megan traveled back to where Mani was and handed her the phone. "Y/n?" a nervous Normani spoke over the phone.

"Mani, baby I'm so, so sorry I'm not there with you right now. I'm coming as fast as I can okay?"

"Okay." Y/n's heart broke at the sound of her voice. She sounded scared. "How far away are you?"

"About an hour, but the way Julius is driving, maybe less. Are you okay? Healthy?"

"I'm fine. I just need you."

"I'm coming baby, but in the meantime, you got this okay? You are the strongest, bravest woman I know. You can do this, just keep holding on for me alright?" Y/n encouraged her wife, trying to send her confidence through the phone.

"I don't think I can. Not without you." Normani was starting to cry. The contractions were not calming down and the epidural was not working.

"Yes you can. You can do anything you set your mind to. That's what you always say to me right?" Y/n asked.

"Yeah.."

"Set your mind to this for me okay? Two centimeters down, eight more to go. You're already killing it!"

Beyoncé watched Y/n go from across the aisle. She had gone from an incredibly nervous wreck to a coach within a matter of minutes. She was proud and she found it sweet.

"You want me to stay on the phone with you? I will if you need me to. Anything for you." Y/n asked.

"No, I'm better now. I'll see you when you-" Normani paused for another contraction. "when you get here. Be safe, I love you."

"I love you so much babe. Tell Megan call me if anything happens." she hung up a bit defeated. She wished one of those moments she saw in TV shows where the main character spontaneously got super speed happened to her in this moment.

Her mentor grabbed her hand for reassurance, never uttering a word. She remembers how worried she was when she had her own twins, she knows exactly how Y/n is feeling. Having been there before, she knew silence from her would be best unless Y/n needed her to speak. After a few seconds, Y/n squeezed her hand as she took another deep breath.
