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!"

"Time for ... oh. Oh! Umm ... shouldn't we be, like, on our way to the hospital or something?"

He glanced at Lynn, who was not only taking care of her mom, but causing her all of this discomfort in the first place. Time travel was fun.

Janie said something under her breath and threw another pillow. Lynn, however, stood back and looked very worried.

"What's happening?"

"You're about to be born, I think," Xander said to Lynn.

"It's not my birthday." Lynn pointed out "MY birthday is in October"

Xander frowned. "Well then ... umm ... "

He suddenly realized why Janie was throwing pillows at him.

"Honey? You want a Tylenol or something?"

[a_time_slip]

"I'm fine. Get me the car keys and shove that tyleno- owww" She stopped ranting for a moment to curl up in pain again. And there weren't any more pillows to throw.

"I'm terrified to know what you would want to do with the car keys right now," Xander said, "and if it would involve driving, I'm going to go with, 'No.'"

[a_time_slip]

It took a minute for Janie to answer him. "Either I call Phoenix, or I'm getting to the hospital. Your choice."

She held out her hand for the keys. Lynn almost spoke up, but didn't when she saw Janie's mood. Phoenix wasn't even home.

"I'll get you to the hospital, but you're not driving," Xander said. "Okay, let's go ... "

[a_time_slip]

"Can I drive?" asked Lynn, grabbing the duffel bag that had been packed for weeks.

Janie got up, and started making it to the car,

[sees-everything.livejournal.com]

"No, I think I've got that part covered," Xander said. "But thanks for the offer. Ask again when you're sixteen."

[a_time_slip]

"But I'm older than sixteen!" Lynn complained.

"Stop arguing before I throw this bag" threatened Janie

[sees-everything.livejournal.com]

"Technically, yes," Xander said, "but you can't reach the pedals and the DMV would laugh you out of the office."

[a_time_slip]

"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.

[a_time_slip]

"Am I gonna disappear?" she asked.

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

[sees-everything.livejournal.com]

"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"

[sees-everything.livejournal.com]

" ... 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.

[sees-everything.livejournal.com]

"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."

[sees-everything.livejournal.com]

"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.
