To the Stars and Back [Sanders Sides Analogical AU]

Oh... Oh No

5:43 a.m.

Not the preferred time to be woken up unless you're a heathen. But that's when Virgil was awoken by the baby inside of him, or rather, the horrible, gut clenching contractions caused by the baby. At first he just tried to ignore it and go back to sleep, but the feeling overcoming him was relentless and horrifyingly familiar. Virgil's eyes shot open and he sucked in his breathe, suppressing a tiny groan as he inched over to his husband who remained asleep.

"Logan? Logan, wake up," Virgil hissed, poking Logan's cheek until he blinked his eyes open.

"Virgil? What's wrong?" Logan grumbled, tiredly rubbing his eyes.

"Logan I'm in labor," that made him freeze, looking at Virgil with a pale face.

"A-are you certain?" Logan stuttered, now wide awake and sitting up.

"Yes-" Virgil winced and whimpered, hugging his stomach as Logan got out of bed and put his glasses on.

"I'll call the hospital and get Nico. You call Janus and Patton to tell them we'll be dropping Nico off," Logan then left the room to wake their son, Virgil rolling onto his right side and grabbing his phone off the nightstand. He unlocked it and quickly pressed Janus' contact, holding the phone up to his ear and waiting for Janus to pick up.

After about five rings Virgil heard movement on the other line.

"Virgil do you know what fucking time it is?" Janus asked, voice thick with sleep.

"The baby's coming," Virgil said as another bit of pain stabbed through him.

"The fuck?! What is it with your children coming at the most inconvenient times?" demanded Janus followed by a creaking sort of noise indicating he most likely sat up.

"I don't know. Why don't you ask them?" growled Virgil through clenched teeth, his eyebrows knitting together and eyes squeezing shut, "I called because we need you to watch Nico while I'm in labor. Can we drop him off on our way to the hospital?"

"Yeah, yeah! Just lemme get Patton up and we can meet y'all at our front door," Janus said.

"Thanks. See you in a few minutes," with that Virgil hung up the phone and sat up with much pain and sound effects.

Thankfully Logan came walking in with Nico in his arms, the toddler looking very tired and a bit grumpy about being woken up. He had his head resting on Logan's shoulder and was holding his cat plushie in his arms, pressing it between him and Logan.

"I called the hospital and they'll be waiting for us. Did you call Janus?" Logan said, walking over to Virgil.

"Yup. They'll be waiting for us to drop off Nico," Virgil tried to stand up, but gasped and nearly fell down, having to use the bed as support to keep himself up.

"Virgil! Are you alright?" Logan held out his free hand and Virgil gratefully took it, huffing as he stood up.

"Fine. I'm fine. Let's get going," Virgil waddled out of the bedroom to the garage with his husband and son trailing behind him.

"It'll be alright Virgil. Let's just get to the car, drop off Nico then we can get to the hospital," Logan said, helping his husband to their car while carrying his three year old son.
