TIME TO GO - PART 2
By: Archie Lover
Archie walked over to the seat and leant down next to the woman. He took her hand then placed two fingers on her wrist to feel for a beat. It was no use she was dead. "She must have died not that long ago, she is still warm" Archie said getting up and crossing his arms. "Arch, phone someone" Lexie said holding her nose. Archie pulled his phone out from his jean pocket then dialed 999. He wasn't sure what to say. Lexie stood and watched as he talked to the emergency services, she couldn't bear to look at Mrs. Mackenzie. A couple of moments later he put his phone back in his pocket…."They said someone will be here within the next half hour". "Well its better than 2" lexie said referring to Glenbogle and trying to make him laugh. Archie smiled at her. "We can't stay here Lexie I think we should get our furniture in then head back up for a month or so" Archie said. "But..." Lexie said. "Lex I don't like want to sit in here right after a dead woman has been taken away its not a nice thought" He replied. "Yeah I guess your right" Lexie said hugging him. "Arch" Lexie said. "Yeah" He asked. "I think the baby is on its way" she said scrunching her face up with pain. Archie panicked, he wasn't sure what to do. "Right well ummm sit down honey and open your legs" Archie said waving his arms about in the direction of a chair. Lexie slowly walked over and sat down. "Arch the baby aint gunna wait no more I NEED to push" Lexie screamed. "Well push then" Archie shouted. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH" Lexie screamed. "Hold my hand Lex and squeeze….now push" Archie said holding her hand tight. "ARRRCH" Lexie screamed squeezing his hand. "OK Lex not that tight" Archie said pulling away from her grip. Archie wasn't sure how to deliver a baby and Lexie screaming so much wasn't helping. "Right Lex one more push I can see the head" Archie smiled with happiness. "AAAHHH" Lexie screamed again. Archie smiled with delight as he lifted a beautiful baby boy up in the air. "Lex he's beautiful" Archie said. Lexie smiled, and then let her head fall back on to the sofa. Archie handed the baby to Lexie. "What shall we call him?" Lexie asked. "How about James Hector Macdonald" Archie laughed. "Yeah I like that" Lexie said smiling. "Welcome to Annan James Hector Macdonald" Lexie said.
A moment later the doorbell went. "That will be for Mrs. M." Archie said walking to get the door. In came two paramedic's men bringing in a stretcher and Archie. The men carefully lifted Mrs. M onto the stretcher and carried her out of the house. "What will happen now?" Archie asked them. "Well, we will get someone in to investigate how she died in the mean time I suggest you don't stay here" the paramedic said. "Yeah that's fine, and I was wondering could you take a look at my wife's baby, I just delivered him as she went into labor" Archie said looking proud of himself. He checked over little James, and when he confirmed that everything was fine he left.
"Well Lexie, pack your bags….we're off back home" Archie smiled.
