Glenbogle.com – Part 12 By: SnowWhite Thankfully the helicopter arrived before the baby did. Its appearance was announced by Martha, running in dragging Duncan and Sean behind her and exclaiming VERY loudly " Hely coptar! Hely coptar!!!" "Okay" Lizzie ordered, "Lex, can you stand up if we help you?" "Do I have a choice?" Lexie grunted "Not really Honey" Archie answered wrapping one of her arms around his shoulder and lifting her up "Come on" Lexie muttered under her breath, but was too frightened and in too much pain to give him a proper retort. As they passed the stairs Archie suddenly exclaimed "The overnight bag! I'll just grab it" But before he could Lexie grabbed his arm with a pleading look in her eyes "Don't leave me Archie" Archie was shocked at how vulnerable and timid his usually fearless wife looked and immediately agreed, "Okay, okay." "I'll get it" Katrina offered, "Where is it?" Still trying to move Lexie down the hall, a much-obliged Archie yelled "Under her side of the bed, near the night stand" Katrina nodded and hastily ran up the stairs. Walking into Archie's room she was surrounded by memories, memories she wouldn't allow herself to think about right now. There just wasn't time. 'Now which side was Lexie's?' She wondered ' Ok think Katrina. Archie always slept on the left...' She allowed very little time for observation of how the room had changed, or the photographs and knick-knacks it had accumulated. She just ran around to the other side of the bed and reached under. Finally she found what she was looking for and ran back out the door and down the stairs. Lexie was just being helped into the helicopter as Katrina sprinted up with the bag and Molly, Sean, Duncan, Golly, Lizzie and Martha were all crowded around. "Only enough room for the father I'm afraid," The pilot instructed Archie nodded, grabbed the bag off Katrina with a quick word of thanks and climbed in "Have a safe journey...Look after her Archie...Good luck Lex..." the comments rang out against the raging whir from the blades "I'll call as soon as we have news." Archie shouted before they all ran back towards the house to make way for the lift off Archie looked over the seat at Lexie who was being monitored by the paramedic and gave a weak smile "It's going to be okay," He whispered squeezing her hand All Lexie could do was nod and hope and pray that her husband was right
