girl out of time

25) Impromptu baby

The moon was high in the sky when a bloodcurdling cry rang out from the castle. author was quick to react tearing down the corridors to the source of the noise.
rounding the corner he found William banging at the door of his and clozeth's sheared chambers.
"William what's happening?"

"Clozeth she's early. I can't get in. I was on patrol. My wife. in there."
Author never seen William so near hysterics.
"William. she's going to be fine. we'll get help. Have you got a key?"
He shook his head. "no it's in there, she locked it when I left."

"And you let your pregnant wife lock herself in? How thick can you get?" A new voice interjected causing both of the men to jump about a foot.
They bought spun round to see sakura. she had appeared from seemingly nowhere.
Author cliched his chest, trying to slow his hart.
"Jesus!"

"No. sakura." she brushed past the two men and banged on the door. William Grabbed her arm before she could make a second hit. "I am not letting you near my wife. the door was locked in the first place to keep people like you out!"
She raised her eyebrows at him, fully getting in his face. "do you think a locked door could keep people like me out? Mate you have seriously underestimated my skill set."

She glared at him, pulling her arm out of his hand. when he didn't make a grab for her she banged on the door again,
tone calm and commanding.
"Clozeth can you get to the door?"
Their was another long cry before a panicked "no" could be herd.
"Ok we're going to get in. you'll be fine. were getting the midwife now. you just need to stay calm for me, can you do that?"

Sakura wasted with her ear pressed to the door until a small "yes" could be heard.
With that she stepped away from the door turning to the grope of maids that had emerged to find out what was wrong.

"You. I need you to go and Foch the midwife immediately."

One of the women stepped forward "I'm sorry she's tending to the pathers child at the moment."
Sakura ran her hand through her hair sending it sticking up in all directions.
"What and there's only one mid wife?"
The maid looked rather scared of the taller woman. fiddling with the hem of her sleeve.
"No but their all tending to pathers child at the moment. Miss pather has had complications, it would take too long to get them."

"Alfred's closer. can't he help?"
"He's a man miss, its not holy."

Sakura paced in a small circle. Groaning loudly, Thoughts audibly spinning inside her head.
"Ok, have any of you guys ever helped with a birth?" She scans the small group only to see shaking heads.

She stood for a moment thumb pressed to the roof of her teeth in thought.
"Ok god,were doing it my way. you!" she pointed at one of the women. "go get warm water, you go with her." The two women nodded disappearing to complete there job with out argument.
"You and you get towels or cloth anything like that. and you two, your with me."

They all nodded grouping off to do there set tasks. she turned to author and William, body language that of a soldier pulling rank. "you two get that door open. now."

She war the frosted hood from the day before this time a competed with a too-big-for-her tunic and a well fitting pair of britches that only just went past her bum, only visible becouse the tunic was tucked in on one side. despite her state of undress she had the area of a knight. is this what she's like when she's a captain?

Both men set to work on getting the door open wile sakura fills in the maids on what she wanted them to do. it was obvious that they had no idea what to do but sakura never gave them a chance to doubt what they were going to do.

"Is that door not open yet?!"
She turned on the two men. door still standing firm.
"It is a well made structure miss. it will take a lot of force to brake it down."
She pushed us out the way. "Idiots, I'll just do it my self"
She banged on the door again shouting thorough to the woman on the other side.
"Clo are you near the door?" Will it hurt you if it opened?"
She was met with a strains "no".
"Ok we're coming in. get ready."
