Chapter 14
Jo was going crazy she wanted to know what had happened, as did the others. Just as Natalie was going to ask what time it was for the one hundredth time that night when the phone rang. Jo raced to the phone.
Jo: Hello?
Evan: Jo?
Jo: Evan, what is it?
Evan: You guys need to meet us at Saint Mary’s Hospital now.
Jo: WHAT’S WRONG!?!
The girls were starting to panic. Why was Jo so upset?
Evan: Calm down. Blair went into labor. It isn’t exactly pleasant watching her suffer, but she’s fine.
Jo: Okay. I’m calm and we’ll be there in fifteen minutes.
Edna: Jo, what happened?
Jo: Blair went into labor. Evan needs us to go to Saint Mary’s Hospital.
Tootie: Let’s go, what are we waiting for?
Natalie: Let’s see we need to get the kids first, then we’ll leave.
Jo: There are twelve of us. We’re going to need three cars, four per car.
Jo goes to the stairs and calls out to the kids.
Jo: Kids come down here right now.
The kids can hear that tone of do as I say and now, so it didn’t even take them thirty seconds to get down stairs and be standing in front of Jo.
Jo: Guys, Aunt Blair’s going to have her baby. She’s on her way to the hospital, and we need to meet her there. We’re taking three cars; four per car here are the arrangements. Nathan, Kalle, and Jayden you three are coming with me. Samantha, Jessica, and Dennis you guys are riding with Aunt Natalie. Rikki and Joey you two are with Aunt Tootie and Grandma now let’s go.
************************************************************************
Evan thought that he was going to lose his mind. Blair was screaming every ten minutes for thirty seconds. It was killing him and they weren’t even on the highway yet. He wished that he’d called Jo after David and Monica, she’d freaked out and then calmed down. They were still freaking out. They had been calling every five minutes for news. Monica kept on saying tell my baby that Mommy’s on her way. David for his part was yelling at his personal pilot that he had enough money to buy the airport and that it was in the air traffic controller's best interest to give the Warner jet clearance now if he wanted to have a job come morning. He looked at Blair and tried to comfort her.
Evan: Don’t worry sweets we’ll be there in no time.
************************************************************************
Blair had never felt more frustrated in her life. It was a full two hours between Evan’s we’ll be there soon and their actual arrival at the hospital. The only thought going thought going through her mind was EPIDURAL, and now or heads would roll.
Blair: Evan, darling, sweetheart.
Evan didn’t like the tone that Blair was using. It was dangerously sweet. He just hoped that his fear wasn’t evident in his voice.
Evan: Yes.
Blair: Get me inside and drugged, NOW!!!!!!!!!!
************************************************************************
Jo saw them pull up. She felt bad for Evan; they had already been waiting an hour and forty-five minutes. This time plus the fifteen minutes that it had taken them to get to the hospital meant that he had been forced to spend two hours stuck in a car with a laboring woman. Jo’s feelings were confirmed when she heard Blair yell at him. She went and opened the passenger side door to save Evan. He looked relieved and mouthed thanks.
Jo: Okay, Blair I’ve got a wheelchair let’s go.
Upon entry Blair was rushed to labor and delivery with one extremely devoted man by her side ready to stick by her until the end. He would never again leave her side, she loved him he loved her and she was having a baby. He couldn’t wait. Kalle, Jayden, and Olivia may biologically not be his, but in every other way they would be. One day, they would expand their family; but if they never did he had enough with Blair and the children.
