THE ONCE BEAUTIFUL EVENING OF ITALY HAD ERUPTED INTO NOTHING SHORT OF CHAOS, and that chaos started and ended with a very pregnant lexie, who was shouting in pain.

"oh my god!" she yelled as she felt sharp pains in her body, timothee wrapping her arm around his shoulder as he brought her into the hospital, both of them looking up at the signs.

which of course, were in italian.

"you've got to be fucking joking" lexie muttered before hunching over in pain once again, not understanding a word that it said, but before timothee could speak up for her, a nurse came running over to them, seeing lexie was in pain.

the nurse spoke a sentence in italian, making lexie furrow her brows before she grabbed timothees shoulders,

"find me a god damn nurse that speaks english!" she shouted in distress at him, "i could just translate for—" he began offering, but lexie gripped him tighter before she yelled at him again,

"—english!" she repeated herself before sitting down in a wheelchair that the nurse that didn't speak english brought to her, finally feeling some sort of relief as she felt her contractions coming on.

lexie reached back before grabbing timothees arm,

"find miles, now" she lowly said, making timothee nod before the nurse pushed her down the hall and away from him.

timothee watched her go with wide eyes, this was becoming a reality.

lexie was about to give birth.

such a timeless reality.

lexie laid in her hospital bed with timothee sitting in the chair at her side, she had now gotten an epidural which numbed her pain while she waited to dilate to ten centimeters.

the nurse came in to the room quickly to check, which she had been doing every ten ish minutes or so, it had become routine by now.

she checked quickly before lexie saw the nurse smile excitedly, she turned around before pressing the call button in the room, making lexie and timothee look at her frantically with mixtures of confusion,

"what's going on?" lexie asked with worry, the nurse shot her another smile before replying, "youre at ten centimeters, im calling the doctor to come in" she clarified.

except lexie wasn't shocked, or excited for that matter, she was terrified.

she shot her head to timothee,

"miles isn't here, no" she shook her head, but timothee grabbed her hand before squeezing it out of reassurance, "hey, hey, he's gonna be here any minute, it's okay" he said as he tried to calm her down,

"i'm not pushing, not without miles" she said frantically, the nurse overheard her words, snapping her head towards lexie, "that's not an option" she said sternly,

"can't it just wait?!" lexie shouted back in distress, but the nurse looked at her as if she was insane, "alexis you could kill the baby, or yourself if you do not push" she said sternly once again before going over to the door and opening it for the doctor, who was coming in quickly.
