m.h

the sound of my phone ringing was the thing that woke me up at only 4 AM. i decided to ignore it since laziness had token over me and i was especially tired after what had happened last night.

but it kept on ringing and i finally reached for my phone on daniel's night stand, my eyes still closed. i read the name of the caller with only one eye open : unknown caller.

i was going to decline but my finger slipped and i accepted the call.

"shit."i cursed under my breath.

i placed the phone on my ear and sat down on the bed.

"who is it?" i growled sleepily.
"madison?" a voice sobbed through the phone. the following words that the person said were enough to wake me up completely. "i'm going in labor."
"wait, who is this?" i asked.
"it's me meredith obviously!" my sister exclaimed.

"but what do you mean by : i'm going in labor?" i asked.
"i'll tell you later but can you please take me to the hospital?"she said.
"yeah sure, where are you?"
"i'm right in front of your apartment. could you please open?" she said before letting out a scream of pain.
"well, i'm not there but i'm on my way to my apartment. i'll be there quickly."
"what do you mean you're not there? where are you?" her voice boomed through the phone.
"i'm coming don't worry." i said as i hung up.

i got up and tried to walk but i was taken by a strong pain. i sat back down on the bed and sighed. was this some kind of aftermath? i decided to get up even though i was in pain. meredith's going in so much more pain right now.

i looked at daniel who was still sleeping peacefully. i didn't want to interrupt his sleep but i had to.

"daniel?" i called him sweetly. it took him quite a while before he opened his eyes.
"what is it, princess?" he asked in his raspy morning voice.
"i need to go back to my apartment and then drive to the hospital. could you take me there?"
"why? is everything alright?" he asked me with a worry tone.
"i could explain it to you in the car."

daniel got up and we both got ready. i explained everything to him when we were in the car. he was a little bit confused at first but then his confuse state when to a worried one.

it didn't take us a lot of time to get to my building since daniel drove rather quickly. i ran up to my apartment and found my sister, laying on the ground, tears streaming down her face.

"madison." she sobbed and i helped her get up.
"c'mon, we need to get you to the hospital." i told her.

the ride to the hospital was pretty crazy. meredith contractions were getting worse every minutes. meredith tried to tell us what had happened.
