The Estate, Sidra, Glacia, Tuesday (Fandom Time)

"I want to go to Fandom, dammit!" Karla and Warren were arguing again. This had been happening more and more often as the temperature climbed, the humidity set in, and the baby they were still referring to as Nommy stubbornly remained where he was. Kayla had been more than a week late; it looked like her brother was going to try to beat that record

Raven didn't need to be called; she'd felt the first pangs of Karla's labor begin. She always kept an empathic thread stretched out to her loved ones when she was close enough, and with the birth drawing near, she wasn't about to go very far.

She teleported into the birthing chamber just as Warren entered carrying Karla and helped him get her comfortable. "At last this baby is ready to join the world," she said, beaming at Karla as she sent her a gentle pulse of comfort and affection.

"Took him goddamn long enough," Karla grumbled, settling in with ill-grace. She was impatient to get this over with, yes, but dammit, child, she'd had plans. "Maybe if he hurries up, we can still make it to the island before the Perk closes."

Because she'd had a plan, dammit! A plan!

Raven gave Karla a Look. "Whether he hurries or not, you are not going to Fandom today," she said gently. "You will need time to rest and recover your strength. Besides, once you see your new child, I doubt you will want to leave his side for awhile."

"He should have thought about that before being so late," Karla said, proving that she was going to be as pleasant to deal with for this labor as she'd been for the last. "Now he can come on my schedule, which includes a coffee at the Perk and a goddamn scone."
