The very next morning, Lillian was first up. Very unusual. She could barely waddle down to the Kitchen, and when she did make it there, she colapsed in the chair.
"Oh, boy." she set her hand on her belly. "You seem restless now, don't you?" she was past her due date.
Soon, the others started to flow in and out of the room. Lillian stayed in the kitchen most of the day, not even wanting to move. But it's not like she really could anyhow...
That night, she waddled into the living room, and stayed there just as Magenta did. but that night, she had worse pains than usual. Thinking nothing really of it, she tried to just lay there, hopeing they'd go away. And when they got worse, Lillian knew. She gulped. She tried to get up, and over to the stair well. As she stood leaning on the banister, she felt suddenly wet. Her jaw dropped.
"My-my water just broke...Oh shit."
"Riff!" she screamed.
She knew he was the only person who could help her. He ran down the steps.
"What?"
"I'm-I'm going into labour!"
"Oh no..." he took her by the arm, holding her hand, and her elbow, and guilded her to the lab. Once there, he helped her onto the table, and ran to the door, rather awkwradly.
"I'll be back!" he screamed down the halls, as his voice echoed throught the castle. He ran first to the tower, to gather supplies. When he got up the stairs well, he shook Magenta awake.
"What? what, Riff?"
"C'mon." he motioned to the door.
"Why?" she whined.
"Just come!"
She followed him down to the lab, picking up the dropped parsels along the way. As they neared the lab, Magenta could hear Lillian's whimpers.
"She's, she isn't. Is she?"
He nodded once, and answered "She is."
She ran to Lillian's side, and said "How you feeling, Lillian?" with a laugh.
"Painful!" her whole face was red.
"Okay...okay...alright Lillian, we'll help you through this, okay?"
And so began a long night for the three.
