I keep asking these people to summon Mama, but they haven't done. Would you please send someone?

Or- you're not ?

I know it might be awkward later, but I really just want


Ugh! Why can't they make this baby come? What's healing magic for if they can't

Darling, I think it best that we avoid matters that might further upset you.

Let me see to my tasks here at the palace and I will come as soon as I'm able, I swear to you. Let the healers make you comfortable. I know you've not forgot that magic-assisted labour can result in undesirable side-effects. It's to be avoided so long as neither you or the baby are in distress.

[alt_lana]

Define distress.

I'm the bloody Head of MLE, and I can't get any of these stupid healers to lift a wand to help me.

Oh, gods, this is the most awful thing that's ever-

Make it stop!

[alt_rodolphus]

It must be close to time, surely. I'll be there shortly.

If I could bear this pain for you I would.

[alt_lana]

Trust me, you'd take that back if you had the slightest-

    the smallest idea how awful this is!


Rod, where are you?!

[alt_rodolphus]

Honestly, Lana, I've only stepped out to use the loo and get some fresh air. It's been a handful of minutes.

I don't remember Hydra or Rigel taking this long

[alt_lana]

Argh!

What? Did SHE just pop them out, or something?

If I could do this any faster, I would!

Arck. Oh, hell.


Give me my wand, would you?

[alt_rodolphus]

When this is over I will give you your wand.

Here, I'll come back and you can inflict as much pain on me as you like - just not with your wand.
