Gio whimpered slightly and shook his head, taking a slow and deep breath. For just a few moments, he blocked out all of the people talking; he needed just a little bit of time to concentrate on his own thoughts and his own decisions. Everyone was silent, except for Sirius who was breathing heavily beside him. Gio could feel the trembling in Sirius' hand and looked up at his fiancé, tears glistening in his eyes.

"I'll do the C-Section... It's the safest course, for all three of us, to survive and not go through all of that pain that labor will no doubt bring, during and after." Gio said decisively and firmly, looking up at Marc briefly before turning back to Sirius and squeezing his fiancé's hand.

"You need to tell them, Si... You can't hide this, I can feel it and I can see it in your eyes..." Gio said quietly in Greek, everyone having backed off a few paces to give Gio some space to think "You can't hide active labor for long."
