Alright, so this is the next instalment of an unforseen event, which will be drawing to a close soon...only a few chapters left! Of course, I have numerous oneshots planned out for the kids, so this won't be the end of it!
Don't forget to review!
The warm summer breeze blew through the trees, shifting the leaves and making a soft whistling sound. The sun was setting, turning the sky blood-red. The birds where chirping relentlessly, calling back their children to go to sleep.
On one of the many paths of New Olympia park, a couple were slowly walking, their arms around each other's waists.
The woman's womb was bulging with an unborn child, her fiery red hair melding in with the background of the sky. The man's stormy blue-grey eyes shone with pride and love as he looked upon his wife, visibly close to childbirth.
They were walking slowly, taking their sweet time as they turned and walked around the pond, contemplating the fish that they could see under the surface of the water.
Sitting down on a bench, the man laid his head on his wife's stomach, listening to the heartbeats of his two children, while she in turn ran her slender fingers through his purple hair, undoing his stubborn cowlicks slightly.
Closing their eyes in content, they just sat there, enjoying the summer air, and each other's company, losing track of time.
Suddenly, the woman's eyes shot open, and she doubled over in pain, screaming. Jumping up, the man kneeled down on the ground, holding her hand, a worried frown on his features.
"Atlanta, what's wrong?" he asked, clearly worried as he squeezed her hand comfortingly.
"Archie, the babies-they're coming!" she gasped, holding her stomach, her face contorted in pain.
Reacting quickly, Archie scooped Atlanta up in his arms, holding her bridal style as he pelted down the same path that they had been strolling through not so long ago.
Because of the lateness of the hour, no one was in the park, and so they couldn't call for help.
Using all the running speed that he had acquired while racing Atlanta in their youth, he ran to his car, reaching for his old and battered PMR that they still used in case of emergencies...like this one.
Pressing on the large red button used for said emergencies, he quickly text messaged everyone, informing them that the children were coming, and to meet them at the hospital.
Placing Atlanta in the passenger seat, Archie quickly jumped in himself, and drove off in the direction of the nearest hospital.
Racing down the street, Archie was careful to not ram into anything or anyone. Coming to a stop in the parking lot, he quickly raced to the other side of the car, picking Atlanta up once again.
The screeching of another car gave away the presence of Herry, Jay, Theresa, Odie and Neil.
All racing to the emergency ward, Archie led the way to the reception desk.
"My wife, she's in labour..." He gasped, trying not to drop Atlanta in his exhaustion.
Caught off guard, the receptionist quickly called a doctor.
"Put her on the stretcher over there, the doctor should be here soon." She said, motioning with her hand to an empty stretcher.
Complying, Archie laid his wife on said stretcher, putting her down gently as not to cause her any more discomfort.
Holding her hand, he whispered words of comfort into her ear, stroking her long red hair, while the others all paced around, nervous.
Suddenly, a man in a long white coat appeared, a few nurses behind him. It was the same doctor that had helped Atlanta way back when she had been injured.
Quickly rolling the stretcher into the room, the other were told to stay outside, since one, there was not enough room, and two, Atlanta would not appreciate having her friends watch her giving birth.
Before the door closed, she lifted her head up.
"Call my parents! Tell them that the babies are coming!" she said before the door closed.
Nodding, Theresa quickly complied, stepping out of the hospital to call with her PMR.
Inside the room, Archie was holding Atlanta's hand, dressed in a blue garb.
"We're going to be parents," she said, panting, though her light green eyes shone with a happiness that could have even warmed Cronus's heart.
Squeezing her hand, Archie smiled. His eyes expressed what words could not as he leaned over and kissed her on the forehead.
"We're going to be parents..." he repeated.
Suddenly, one of the many screens started beeping, and one of the nurses cried, "something's wrong!"
