Now is the time for our lives to change


Less than impressed would not be a completely satisfactory expression to explain how Haylie was feeling at the very moment. More like incredibly bitter and disgruntled, that might be a better turn of phrase to describe her mindset. Her boyfriend, the father of her child, had been gone for five days on a mission that she knew nothing about. Not only was he supposed to be on paternity leave but she was just two days away from her delivery date and there had been no word in the last about where he was or when he would be home or even if he was safe. She had basically ripped Remy a new one the night before when he had ever so calmly informed her that she was not on this case and it was highly classified, so no, he could not give her any information on Kyrian. Shay'd had to calm her down and remind her that her hysterics could force her into labor and she did want Kyr to be there for that, didn't she? Now, their friends were gone at their respective works and she was prowling the apartment, walking in circles around the living room. She had woken up in the middle of the night with severe back pains but that wasn't anything to new, the past few months had been hard on her body and there was always a new ache or pain to complain about. She hadn't been able to fall back asleep though and so had just been pacing since about three o'clock that morning. It was closing in on noon now and she had no idea what to do with herself. The pain in her back was growing more and more severe, regular and she had a sneaky suspicion on what was going on. "Oh no, baby..." She murmured, her hand on her stomach. "You have to wait on your daddy, he'll be here soon. It will break his heart if he isn't here to see you be born." Biting her lip, she looked over at the clock and then decided to go out on the balcony and do her pacing there. Another hour passed, the pain getting more and more intense and now moving around to her womb instead of just her back, before the phone rang. By the time she got inside - moving at her awkward pace wasn't conducive to rushing - the caller had hung up but she saw on the ID that it had been Skeeter. A low breath escaped her lips as she quickly dialed him back and got his cell. She listened intently as her friend told her that Kyrian was out, he was in flight to some base - Braden wasn't sure which one - to be checked out and debriefed and would be home later that night or maybe the next day. At the words 'next day' a soft whimper escaped her lips. Her eyes slid shut as she swallowed heavily and then stiffended, her brow furrowed. Dark gaze sliding down, she took in the damp spot on the expensive carpet and moaned softly. Skeet...tell him that my water broke." With that she hung up the phone and then went into the bathroom to clean up - completely unaware that Skeeter had immediately hung up the phone and called his commander to alert him on the situation. They all knew Haylie and he was more than aware that the girl who had once held a piece of his heart was probably not going to go to the hospital on her own.
