Friends, family, and any peripheral members of their social circle --

Apparently, I'm going to have a baby tonight, or more likely technically the morning of the 5th. I'll be leaving for [hospital in London] in about an hour from when I post this. If anyone wants to call me, my number is [cell phone number]. I'll update with the room phone line when we get there. By great good fortune, I have Miniver's cousin Riordan coming with us to get the phone when I can't.

This is a bit like herding cats, trying to get him and Miniver and Sable to do anything simultaneously, but once we get there, anyone is welcome to come visit at any time. Sable and I will personally bully the doctors into allowing it. It'll be many, many hours before anything exciting happens, though, so don't anybody start panicking.

	I will meet you there. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Thank you, Sadako. The other attending physicians are aware that you are coming as my midwife. I hope you understand that I haven't chosen to have my baby here because I distrust your abilities. It is really more out of respect for my daughter. I am certain you know of her opinions about magical healers. I want this to be something she can feel part of as well.

	Of course. I've no problem with medicine. My mother was hospitalized for a long time. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	All right. Good. There may not be much for you to do for a while. I'm letting Sable and Miniver assist the attending nurses. It keeps them occupied and out of anyone's hair. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I am there in case of catastrophe. It's best if I don't have anything to do. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Well then... I should hope you don't, shouldn't I? They say he's small. Sable was too, but not this low on the average. Her birth went smoothly, though, and I understand the second is generally easier than the first. Thank you for coming, Sadako. I truly do appreciate it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Small is not a problem. I'm sure he'll gain his weight quickly. You're welcome, Marnie. I am here as a friend, as well as a fail safe. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	And friends are always something to be grateful for. I will see you soon. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Shortbreads, chocolate chip, or peanutbutter? Some combination? Or would you prefer scones? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Oooh. I love shortbread, Bren. You're really a gift. Thank you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You're welcome. They'll be on the way as soon as they're out of the oven. (Reply to this) (Parent)
