An Emergency

"W...what...your tummy! What happened...Ummm...where are you now?" Leon asked in a disoriented voice.

"I'm in the convenience on the plane and I don't know what to do. I'm so scared. It feels as if the babies want to come out. B...but I'm just five months down. I don't want to lose my babies, Leon. I can't afford to disrupt anything today. I made a promise to Denise that I can do it. But I don't understand why this is happening now."

"Okay...Calm down, baby. The babies are not going to come out and you'll be fine. Don't worry about Denise or the wedding. Everything will go on smoothly as planned. I... I... I would have to call Dr Julie right away and connect you directly with her. In the meantime try to breathe in and out. I'll speak discreetly to Ivory and she will bring you a bottle of water to keep you hydrated, okay?"

"Okay..." Ella nodded her head while carrying out the breathing exercise. "Leon..."

"Yes, I'm here, baby."
