(ooc - Finally! people are here and we can get on with the story! No offence SR darling, but theres only so much fictional sex you can have before you need to jimmy in a plot)

Seryn had propped herself up on her elbows, watching the sun flash over the waves and the wind ruffle little strands of SR's hair. The day had been absolute perfection. She figured the night would carry on that way. SR turned, a small smile tugged at the corners of his mouth and she inclined her head to be kissed...

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEEEEEEEP!

SR jumped, Seryn jumped, teeth jarred, both grimaced.
"What the hell was that?!?!"
She checked her wrist, then leapt to her feet "Baby Alarm! Serenity's baby! Oh dear god, its coming! She going into labor, oh, hell"
Seryn flapped, then paced a little, then turned and ran for the Nandi. "I rigged up the alarm to go of as soon as the T.H.R.E.A.D.S registered her waters breaking. I wanted to be there. Have to be there!"
SR grabbed her elbow "Um, why?"
"Well, she's a good friend.."
"And...?"
"Well I kind of needed to know whats going to happen..." She poked a finger at her own tummy "i'm not good with surprises. I mean really not good. I need to know how bad its going to be... Plus! She wanted a rabbit, And the baby will want one too! What better time to give them?"

She leapt into the drivers seat, allowed just enough time for SR to gather up their stuff and slide in behind her then gunned the engine and headed for home.

I love our luck. I'm a very happy man.

The Fairies, lounging by the pool after being interrupted preparing their 'talent' watched the goings on with bemused looks on their faces.

"Shouln't we help them?" Orla, watched, as two of them seemed to turn again and again on the spot, until one grabbed a tissue and the other a chair.
"Why? we steal human babies, whats the point of delivering them?"
Orla shrugged "They just don't seem to be coping very well... that one is about to blow his top, that one is fixated on his dress and there isn't a healer in sight. She just looks a little annoyed."
"Hey! Leave him alone, dresses like that need careful attention. ...I wonder how attentive he is in other areas..."
The group rolled their eyes.
"Well their doctor has just arrived.."
They rolled their eyes again.
"I'm going to help."
"Suit yourself"
"I'm going too!"

Both girls made their way over to the group. Amber went straight to Needy, grabbed tissues and started rubbing at the fabric. "oh! You poor man! How terrible, it must be so trying for you, you must be so stressed. Poor man, well, its ok, i'm here for you, you just relax, and sit. Are you ok?"
Soul looked on in amazement "Is He ok?!"

Orla made her way over to Serenity. Lightly taking her arm she began walking slowly around the poolside.
"I'm Orla, i've some experience of childbirth, so if you want my help at all, i'll assist the doctor as much as i can. "She lifted a foot and looked at the hem of her skirt, then at the pool. "Should we head somewhere a little drier do you think? Somewhere with tea maybe?"

She leapt into the drivers seat, allowed just enough time for SR to gather up their stuff and slide in behind her then gunned the engine and headed for home.

SR realizes that there will be no stopping this woman, yet still he refuses to give up without at least making some form of effort.

"Isn't it obvious what's going to happen? People have been having babies ever since," SR paused struggling for a appropriate figure of speech and then it arrived, "they could. How bad it's going to be? It's bad enough she may not want us around, but it's not so bad that all mothers since the beggining of time immemorial haven't just sworn of childbirth and just opted to go down to the pub for a pint. It's one of those examples of extremely unpleasant hard work that just needs to get done so we can all get on with our lives and be really grateful every year on mothers day. Somehow I fail to see the surprise element of the whole situation, but I guess that's just my flaw."

Seryn looked back over her shoulder and fixed SR with a cold stare.

"I understand that this is important to you and I am not going to stop you. I just think that you should know that CMS is going to be a bit busy, and in a great deal of pain, doing something that will require all of her attention and that showing up to spectate and give bunnies might not be the best idea. Timing is so often key in life. The best thing you can do is make sure you are wanted there, because if not, we should get the hell out of the way. Yes I said we, because if this is important to you I will do this with you, because you are important to me."

"Yes, I realise that. Last things she wants is an audience.
And did I not mention she was a friend? I'm not exactly going to stand in a corner with a notepad and pencil, i'll be doing whatever she tells me to do."

The Nandi approaches the Tree, then suddenly swerves off to one side, circles just long enough for Seryn to start yelling.

"Stop lecturing me! Stop thinking that i'm an idiot who doesn't consider these things! And stop taking everything so damn seriously!!!"

She brings the Nandi into land in the bay, leaps out, stalks accross the bay and locks the large interior doors behind her for a moment, which she uses to put the smile back on her face.

Mostly calm and composed. She runs to find Serenity. On reaching them, she hears her voice asking to be helped to her nest. She grins at Serenity, salutes her smartly, "Here to obey your every whim my dear" then gently pushes Soul towards his fiancee, and follows behind them as they make their way to the upper floors. All the while watching with relief as Simon switches to Ace-doctor mode.

Well, we're in a great place for it.[i/]

*watches the crowd gathering*

Serenity? How many invitations did you send out to the birth? Because it's getting rather crowded in here.

Okay, now can someone lay down a few mattresses on the floor over there? Thank you. All men in the room, with the exception of Soul and myself, should stand beside them. Then when it comes to the moment you see something... gynecological... that makes you pass out, you won't suffer any injuries from the fall.

Soul, it is also traditional that in some way or other, you will experience pain, mirroring Serenity's own. I'll leave this icepack and some aspirin here ready for that moment.

Okay Serenity... ready?

Seryn watches in amazement. She knows very little, but she's sure that it should take longer than that. And pretty sure that someone, a female someone who could be relied upon not to faint at crucial moments, should be there to help Serenity and Soul while Simon himself was dealing with things at the business end.
Plus she was sure people usually hung around to do things, fetch stuff, like hot water or something. For the baby or whoever... maybe it was cold water.. to throw on the new father... Never mind.

She watched as they started to climb up to the nest, and looked at the fairy. Who met her eyes with a dissapointed look as they turned a strolled towards the kitchen.

"Well, looks like we're not wanted. Ah well, and I was told of this spell that acted like an ep...epidoo ra.. epidural, but with out all those needles..."
"Really? neat! Say, where are you going to be in about six months time?"
"Oh I don't know, but I'd love to try it, so I could find my way back"
"Oh, that would be helpful. Suddenly I feel a whole lot better. Ok, so, for afterwards, we need to boil water for an awful lot of cups of tea, and find some strong alchohol. And we need to corral some rabbits and tie bows around their necks."
"Rabbit hunting? Oh I love rabbit hunting!"
"No, not hunting dear, just catching! 'Sides, you wouldn't like these rabbits, they taste awful"
"Really?"
"Yes, like humans"
"Ugh! That bad?"
