"No...Matilda...I think it's time," he whispered as he lifted the pillow off of her face.

[EnamelEyes]

Matilda frowned, "Time? Time for...what?" She asked as her face went blank for a moment before her eyes registered in understanding. Standing up immediately, she ran to her dressing table and took her phone, dialing Charlie's doctor and running off to the closet and taking out their overnight bag.

"Texted doc and he told us to get there soon as possible." She said briskly as she helped him up, "You okay? How're you feeling? D'you need water or something? Has your water broken already?" She asked him different questions, hoping to comfort him in any way necessary.

[cashewmanz]

Charlie slowly sat up in bed as he watched Matilda rush around the apartment. He laughed quietly as she came up to him frazzled and excited. "Calm down, Matilda, I've had a few regular contractions, but it's nothing serious yet. Let's just take our time and get to the hospital. Okay?"

[EnamelEyes]

Matilda paused and sighed, "Okay, fine, just got worried " she mumbled before she finished getting what she needed, "Let's go to the hospital." She said with a small smile.

[cashewmanz]

"Great, just pack the car, and I'll try to meet you over there," he smiled and gave her a kiss on the cheek. Charlie planted a hand in the small of his back and heaved himself forward to stand. The babies were restless as his womb contracted around them, and he took a few deep breaths to steady himself before waddling after Matilda.

[EnamelEyes]

Matilda finished packing the car with their necessities and was waiting at the side of the car, leaning against the door when she saw Charlie, she then approached and held Charlie gently, leading him to the car.

[cashewmanz]

"Ugh," Charlie groaned again as he settled into the seat, "thanks. Let's get going!"

[EnamelEyes]

Matilda nodded and got into her seat and began driving to the hospital, but ten minutes in their way to the hospital, they came round the bend and found themselves in a traffic jam.

[cashewmanz]

"You've got to be kidding me! How is there a traffic jam this early in the morning?" Charlie exclaimed as he rubbed at his belly.

[EnamelEyes]

"I don't know but I think we'll make it...I hope." Matilda said as she also joined in on the repeated honking of the horns.

[cashewmanz]

"Right..." Charlie said as the traffic continued to inch forward. A few more minutes went by and he felt the tightening begin in his belly again. "Ooof...arrgh," he grunted as he worked through the pain. It subsided quickly, thankfully. "That one was stronger than the others..."

[EnamelEyes]

"Dammit, we're not even halfway!" Matilda nearly screamed as she hit the steering wheel in frustration.

[cashewmanz]

"Matilda...you've gotta find a way. I'm not giving birth to octuplets in the car...it just...I don't think it can be done!"

[EnamelEyes]

"Yeah, same thought. But the only option we have is to walk but that's out of the question. I can't see any ambulances either..." Matilda was now chewing her bottom lip as she tried to think of a plan to get through traffic.

[cashewmanz]

"It's not like an ambulance would even be able to reach us out here...arrgh!" Charlie cried out as another contraction hit his belly. "I really need to lay down or something!" Charlie pulled the lever on the bottom of his seat to lay it back as far as he could go. His belly stuck up so far it was still visible from the window.

[EnamelEyes]

Matilda looked at him and took his hand in hers, "Don't worry Charlie, all will be fine." She said as the car moved at least a few inches in traffic.

[cashewmanz]

"You say that now...I don't mean to pressure you, but if we could get out of this traffic that'd be fucking fantastic..." he groaned as he rubbed furiously at his belly.

[EnamelEyes]

Matilda smiled weakly, "I'd very much like to get out the traffic too." She saidas she kept hhonking her car's horn.

[cashewmanz]

"Huhhhh...ohhhhhh! This hurts so badly! The contractions are getting closer together now..." Charlie reached over and grabbed Matilda's hand. "I think you may just have to pull over...this is happening!"
