After lunch everyone returned to the living room where Alura and Lori returned to laying on the floor watching a movie. "Have you seen a lot of Sara and Ava?" Alex asked. "Yes, they're actually going to be joining us for Christmas dinner." Lena replied. "Oh that will be nice!" Alex replied. "Yea Alice is really looking forward to playing with Alura and Lori." Kara said. Sam was lying back on the sofa again with her feet up.

A little while later both kids were sound asleep on the floor. Alura laid on her back with Lori tucked into her armpit. Being the ever watchful grandmother took a few photos of them and shared them to her social media. "Ugh...Alex...can you help me go to the bathroom?" Sam asked. "Yea sure, come on." Alex replied with a smile. Alex quickly got Sam up from the sofa and began making their way to the bathroom. 'SPLAT!' The sound of a gush of water echoed around the room as Sam yelled out in shock.
"MY WATER BROKE!" Sam screamed.

"Take her to the hospital!" Eliza shouted as she got up and ran towards the downstairs bedroom to grab the hospital bag. "Go! We'll be right behind you!" Lena yelled. "Ok! Come on Sam! Let's go have our son!" Alex exclaimed as they hastily headed out to their car, Eliza with bag in hand ran after them. Alura and Lori who were woken up by the excitement began crying at the way everyone was running about the house.

Lena took Lori while Kara took Alura and quieted them down explaining that Aunt Sam was ok, and that she was just getting ready to have the baby. "Mommy? Will we go to the hospital too?" Alura asked. "Yes sweetheart, after a little bit we'll all go to the hospital. But for right now...we're gonna wait till they get settled in a room ok." Kara replied. "Ok...how long will that take?" Alura asked. "About twenty minutes." Lena replied.
