RP for Xander or whoever

Lynn looked at the short list of names, and called each of them, only to get an answering service.

Why wasn't anyone home?  She looked towards the bedroom door, knowing her mother was crouched over in the bed.  'Don't call anyone' she'd said.

She tried once more to call everyone, when finally she got an answer.

"Hello?  You have to come here, now!"

"I'm almost as tall as Mom and I can reach the pedals!"

Then, Janie threw her bag and finished walking to the car.

Xander didn't break too many laws in the process of getting his family to the hospital.

"And it's still really odd that you're here for this," Xander said to Lynn as he turned off the car, inside the hospital's parking structure.

"Am I gonna disappear?" she asked.

"Stop talking like that." Janie grumbled "...Wait, is the entrance THAT far away???"

"You want me to go snag a wheelchair?" Xander asked Janie. "And no, you're not going anywhere, Lynn."

[a_time_slip]

"I don't need a bloody wheelchair" she grumbled, forcing herself to walk "Why didn't you park closer? And Lynn, you're staying with me the whole time. You're not going anywhere"

" ... There's no parking closer," Xander said, pointing at the row of cars. "This is it. No extra-dimensional parking spots, sorry."

[a_time_slip]

Janie didn't say anything else as she walked to the entrance.

"So ... yeah," Xander said, following along. "EVen though this is false labor."

[a_time_slip]

"So I'm just supposed to smile through this?" she asked, annoyed. "They have to do SOMETHING to make me feel better."

"And I'm sure they will," Xander said. "Just try not to get too upset. We both know this is going to end up with you heavily medicated and everybody all right."

[a_time_slip]

"I guess I could have stayed home and taken TYLENOL, which is just perfect if I have a headache!"

[sees-everything.livejournal.com]

"It's also good for fevers and body aches," Xander said helpfully.

[a_time_slip]

If Janie could throw something at that moment, she would. Instead Xander got a glare. Lynn wisely stayed quiet as she walked beside her family.

"Bet you'll get Vicodin."

[a_time_slip]

"Why?" She looked relieved when she saw the doors. The sweet, sweet, doors. "Bet me what?"

"It's a figure of speech, there's no actual wager," Xander said. "Hi," he said to the guy at the ER counter. "She's pregnant and her uterus is unhappy."

[a_time_slip]

Janie picked up one of the masks, and threw it at Xander.

"How many weeks is she?" he asked, sounding pretty bored.

"I don't know. When's your birthdate, Lynn?" The girl gave the guy an answer, and suddenly he was calling upstairs and for someone to come with a wheelchair.

[sees-everything.livejournal.com]

"Wheelchair,:" Xander said with a nod. "Right. Good idea. Amazing that nobody else thought about that."

[a_time_slip]

"I don't want a wheelchair, you bloody wanker!" Janie huffed and puffed.

"It's hospital policy." said the guy, shooting her down. "Do you have her ID?"

[sees-everything.livejournal.com]

"Janie, hand me your ID, please?" Xander asked.

[a_time_slip]

She shoved the bag into Xanders hands, then folded her arms.

[sees-everything.livejournal.com]

Xander rummaged around, found Janie's most accurate ID based on location and date (wisely leaving the glowing-hologram ID in the bag) and forked it over.

[a_time_slip]

The man began typing information in the computer, then slapped a bracelet on her wrist just as the wheelchair came.

"I look fat in that picture!" she referred to the ID as it was getting handed back to Xander, but the guy was already back to playing online games.

[sees-everything.livejournal.com]

"You so do not," Xander disagreed. "You never look fat."

[a_time_slip]

"Yes I do." she sniffled, and they were quickly taken upstairs.

At the end of the process, she was in a bed, hooked up to monitors and a nice IV filled with pain medicine and extra fluids. She'd get an ultrasound once the medication kicked in a little more.

"I want to take you to the 23rd century." she smiled, to Xander
