Summary: the earthquake hits
Savannah enjoyed days when there was plenty of work to do. With two teams and eight people out, there was plenty to do. Of course, she didn’t even want to think why those teams. Derek had taken with him Brian, Robert and Troy, which made her think that it was far, but not too dangerous. Marty had taken Travis, Alexis and Tim. Whatever it was, it was bad enough that they didn’t think the Hammond twins should go. In a way it was a relief, because she knew if something happened, Marty would be on his own. On the other hand, it meant that something was happening and she couldn’t help, at least not out there.
She helped at home, which meant keep things running smoothly, even when Sheldon said that he needed more time with the partially built machine. She knew people were tired, Dom had to deal with Blaze, and she couldn’t keep everyone there for whatever Sheldon wanted to do.
“All right, everyone get ready to go. Sean, if you could take the twins and the dogs for me.” Normally, she’d have kept them around, but they had been off all day. All of them seemed to be antsy. She wasn’t sure if it was because so many of their owners were gone, but then she and John were there. “Oliver, Tommy, make sure everything is all right at home. Matt, stay with Nell and Dom until we come back. Nick, Thomas, you’re with me.” This was going to be so much fun. Not.
Nick wasn’t much of a problem. He actually liked physics and understood some of Sheldon’s rambling, and Sheldon liked to have someone to boss around. Thomas was a different matter, but at the moment, she needed a partner and he was the one who had no one at home. The other one was Matt, but he was too new to rely on him. It wasn’t her favorite choice, but she meant it when she said that personal feelings wouldn’t interfere with work. Except that now they were here, doing nothing, while they waited for Sheldon. With no furniture and nothing to do, she sat on the porch steps, rubbing her stomach as she felt the contractions come more often, preparing her body for birth. She almost considered talking to Thomas, like she had for days, but with the way she was feeling, she would not be kind. No, it was easier to sit and wait in silence.
