Both Elisa and himself had been open with telling their daughters everything about the baby, teaching them to understand a baby was to be coming any day, so that they wouldn't be scared if he was in pain.
"I'm fine my little Ariel, it's just the baby is going to be coming today. So by tonight you and Josie will either have a baby brother or sister. Now what do you say about getting dressed, your grandmother is going to take you shopping today. What do you say about that Ariel." Rory kissed his daughters forehead, before looking to Josie, "Your mother and I have decided you are grown up enough to stay and help out with the baby coming. Would you like that? Do you think you can do that, my darling?"
Ariel seemed excited at the prospect of spending the day with her grandma but no one was more excited than Josie at the thought of being there when her little brother or sister was born. Ever since Ariel's birth, the questions had started about where babies came from and Elisa had been willing to answer every question until Josie finally declared that she wanted to become a midwife too when she grew up. So when she found out that she was getting a new sibling, the begging started that she could stay to see the baby be born; only to receive an answer of 'We'll see.' So to hear that she could stay thrilled her to no end.
"Really?! Thank you thank you thank you!!" she nearly screamed as she wrapped her arms about her mother, almost knocking her over in the process.
Elisa laughed at her reaction. "You're welcome sweetie. Now can you go ahead and call grandma on my cell phone and help your sister get dress while I check on the baby?"
Josie grinned 'Yes ma'am. Come on Ariel!' she said as she lead her little sister out to their room.
