Prompt: You're so wonderful 3 just an idea, maybe Sam and the very pregnant andy are at celery and Oliver's wedding, and andy goes into labour during the vows :) and Sam starts freaking out and Oliver's just like "don't worry dude, it'll be cool" Love ya!
He looked damn good in a tux. It's been a little while since she's seen him in one. In fact, it was probably the night the little one kicking up a storm in her uterus right now was conceived. Some fancy pants event, she doesn't remember what exactly it was for… He had to go because he was a detective, she went because it was an excuse to put on a dress and eat food neither one of them had to make. Then it got boring. THEN he found the coat room.
But now she's sitting front row at Oliver's second wedding, watching her husband fulfil the best man duties, and keeping Oliver company till the song begins and Celery makes her way down the aisle. And when the violins begin to play, everyone turns to see Celery, watch her make her way to her awaiting fiancee, but Andy keeps her eyes forward. She watches Oliver's face closely, taking in the most beautiful vision he's seen, his bride, and watches as the emotions change from thankful to happy to excited, to nervous and back again. He's such a sap every other day of his life and today it's true too.
As Celery approaches the front, Andy finally turns to look to her and sighs. She looked the same she had only an hour ago when she left the bridal party to their champagne and makeup an hour ago. Swollen ankles, she declined Celery's offer to take part in the get-ready festivities, she just wanted to get comfortable for the afternoon ceremony. She wiggles around a little in her seat before the music ceases so she doesn't disrupt anything once the ceremony begins, but she's having a lot of trouble getting settled.
Some how she manages to keep still most of the way through the ceremony, and then the time for the vows comes around. Oliver speaks eloquently, saying sweet things about having thought that he couldn't be any happier in life, what with his fulfilling job, and three wonderful daughters, but having been wrong. Because Celery added so much to an already great and lucky life and made him the happiest he'd ever been.
She's about to lean over and ask Traci for a tissue, but the minute she slides a fraction of an inch on the wooden bench, she feels her water break.
She lets out a small and involuntary squeak, embarrassed and surprised, and stares down at her belly, thinking this can't be it, it's not time. And she's at a wedding! She's about to ask Traci what she should do when she looks up to the front to see Sam, Oliver, Celery and the rest of the groomsmen and bridesmaids watching her.
She grins, at Sam, and rubs her stomach, and his whole face goes just a little white, clearly not having been ready for that revelation. He's about to take a step down and rush to her, when Oliver grabs his shoulder.
"Labour lasts hours Sammy, you can spare five minutes."
She barely overhears the conversation, but she does, and he's right. She doesn't have to be in a rush of any kind, so she nods at Sam, reassuring him they're not in a hurry just yet.
It's true, and the ceremony goes on, but the whole time Celery's offering Oliver her vows, Sam is shifting his weight from foot to foot, restless. He pulls out his pocket watch at least three times a minute, and keeps looking at her like she's about to deliver right there on the church floor. And finally when the bride and groom kiss, and begin to make their way out of the church, Sam breaks out of his bestman stance, and goes to Andy helping her up.
"We've gotta get to the hospital. No, I've got to go home and get your bag, Traci can take you to the hospital-"
"Sam, you go see if she's ready to be checked in to the hospital, I will you go to your place and grab whatever you need." Traci says, softly and calmly, squeezing Andy's hand. "It's going to be fine."
They watch Traci make her way out of the church, rushing before the rest of the guests filter out, and then Sam turns to Andy, about to usher her out too, when she stops him by grabbing his hand.
"She's right, Sam, it's going to be just fine."
