Chapter 38

"Argh! Ok, ok, where is the maternity ward?" Adena raced around the hospital lobby like a chicken with it's head cut off, grabbing several people by the arm and demanding to be shown to the maternity ward. Squib, Megan and Tanis followed closely on her heels, while Sebestien settled Cody into a wheelchair and Cameron parked the car.
"GUYS!" Cody screeched loudly. Immediately, Adena skidded to a halt, causing both Megan and Tanis to run into the back of her.
"My water just broke. There's probably hours of labour lef- OW!" She screamed and clutched at her stomach.
"Ok, we need a doctor. Or a nurse. DOCTOR! NURSE!" Tanis, who had by far the loudest voice, yelled loudly. Cameron joined them then and eventually, a nurse found the whole lot of them wheeling Cody aimlessly around the hospital. She led them quickly to the maternity ward, where Cody was immediately settled in a bed to be checked by a doctor. The nurse ushered the others out into the hall and glared.
"What were you thinking?" she hissed, "Why didn't you just ask the nurse at the front desk where to go?" Six pairs of eyes looked simultaniously to the floor and Squib started to mutter a sheepish response. With a huff, the nurse cut him off and left.
"WHERE THE HELL IS MY DAD?" Cody's voice rang out loudly and the group looked at each other with wide eyes.
"I should call President Bates." Tanis bolted.
"I bet we'll need coffee." Megan bolted.
"She'll need help carrying the coffee." Cameron bolted.
"Someone should get donuts." Sebestien bolted.
"He'll-" Adena started.
"Need help carrying the donuts." Squib finished as Adena bolted down the hall.
"DAMN IT! SOMEONE GET IN HERE!" Cody screeched.
"Hey, Codes, how you doing?" Squib asked tentatively, walking into the room.
"How does it look like I'm doing?" Cody demanded, red in the face. The contraction subsided and her face softened.
"Where's my Dad? The doctor says labour's progressing fast. It'll only be another couple hours." Cody looked frightened.
"He's trying Cody, really." Squib assured her, wondering why she had to go into labour on the exact day Dr.Myer's had left for a conference. "But the traffics bad and...he might not make it." he finished apologetically. Cody's eyes squeezed tight in pain.
"OH GOD! Don't they have drugs to make this go away? Damn it! Somebody dope me up!" She clutched tightly at the sheets of her bed.
"Cody, you told us you wanted a natural birth, remember? No drugs." Squib reminded her. Cody opened her eyes instantly and glared at him.
"That was before I knew it felt like this! God, I want drugs." she grabbed the front of Squib's shirt and pulled the terrified boy down to her level. "Get me the drugs, Squib." she demanded in a terrifyingly low voice.
"I don't think I should Cody. You're not thinking clearly. I'll get you...some ice chips." He offered.
"I don't want any damn ice chips! I just want this thing out! Damn it Squib, GET IT OUT!"
"I'll get a doctor." Squib promised, tearing his shirt from her fist and racing into the hall.
"Doctor? Oh god, where hell is a doctor?" He went up and down the hall four times before he found a nurse, who told him that he would have to wait and Cody was fine. Feeling bad about going back empty handed, Squib found some ice chips on the way back, hoping to use them as a peace offering.
"I brought ice chips." He said cheerfully, handing them straight to Cody as he walked in the room. To his surprise, she smiled brightly at him.
"Oh good." He started to breath a sigh of relief, but it turned into a gasp of shock, when Cody tipped the bucket of ice chips right down his pants.
"Oh! Oh Oh OH!" he jumped around the room, his mouth a surprised 'o'.
"Now..." Cody started calmly. "GET ME THE DAMN DOCTOR!"

Ok, someone else can go now. Btw, I don't know much about labour, so the facts might not be right and all that. Hope you like it
