In reply to: Skeeter 's message, "Somebody to love " on 06.28

(Surprisingly enough, it was the training she had recieved early on in her work with the agency that allowed her to sit the entire ride to the hospital without making so much as a peep. All of the agents had received pain management training, so it was much easier for her to close her eyes and remove herself from the clenching pain in her belly.. though she knew it would continue to get worse as her labor progressed. Now she was in that state of labor that could last anywhere from an hour to something close to a day.. and though she was not going to think about the length of it, she could at least take comfort in the fact that she had some time before the baby would arrive.. and before the serious pain started. The other factor that played into the serene calm she was experiencing was the man driving the car beside her.. who was now helping her out of the car and into a wheelchair. She knew that Skeeter was in some degree of his 'agents mode' - that other place that the men went when they knew they needed to remain calm and in control of a situation. If anyone could control the birth of a child it was Justin Mallenoch. Her slender hands gripped the arm rests of the wheelchair as one of the nurses manuevered her into one of the private birthing rooms. When the nurse came around to help her up she shook her head, her teeth gritted slightly as wave after wave of pain rippled through her. She let out the breath she had been holding when the pain subsided, then allowed the nurse to help her up and into the bed. Glancing at her watch, she reluctantly admitted that the contractions were still fifteen minutes apart.. she had not progressed in the past hour. As soon as she was settled in the bed, she let out a sigh and her eyes slid half shut. Those same eyes opened, however, when she was offered drugs, and a little shiver of panic slid up her spine.. she hadn't had to face the offering of drugs before.. what if she couldnt - her gaze flicked to Skeeter as he looked at her as though she were asking for help, but he was there for her before she had even asked for him to be. She sighed, tucking her lower lip between her teeth, watching Justin until the nurse had left the room, then she reached for his hand.) Thanks. (She said softly, realizing that he had meant no slight to her with his words, he had been looking out for her.)
