[With that phone call done, Myri focuses on getting to Solace. She's not moving super fast, but she's also not that far from him, so it's not very long before she knocks on his door, trying to remember to breathe evenly.]

Sir Solace?

[doubletake]

[It takes a little while for Elena to answer the phone. Blame it on the fact that it's the middle of the night.]

H-hello?

[sirsolace]

[ he was actually in a dead sleep so it takes a second for him to get to the door. when he does, he's in his nightclothes, and his brows climb when he sees who it is. ] Is it time?

[witchwoman]

I... [She winces as a new contraction comes, her mouth dropping open as a cry of pain is strangled around the word 'yes.' She just nods pathetically.]

[slay]

It's the baby. Myri's baby is coming. Can you give Gar and Vi a call? I'm gonna wake Kat up. I'm heading over there now.

[doubletake]

Right now?

[Okay, yeah, that wakes her up.]

Uh, yeah, I can do that. Do you want us all to head over there right away?

[slay]

Oh, I don't— I don't know. She didn't say. Yes? Yeah. I think so.

[sirsolace]

[ solace moves forward to support her, nodding down the hall ] We need to get you to the med center.

[witchwoman]

[She nods and lets him lead her along the way. She's mostly focusing on breathing now.]

[doubletake]

[There's the sound of movement on the other side of the phone as she keeps talking to Buffy.]

Alright, let me make the phone calls and I'll head over. Give me 15 minutes?

[slay]

That sounds good. Thanks.

[ And Buffy hangs up and continues to phone tree through Kat and ?? whoever else Myri had her on watch to include? ]

[witchwoman]

[Would have been all of failboat. Not that she expects them all to come right away, but she's going to have them all notified right away that shit is going down and let them decide if they want to come a-running. She assumes Des and Mark won't be making it asap, but they should both at least know. But even later failboat additions like Rose and Alainn would be on her notification list. Oh and Wynn. Definitely wake Wynn up at 4am Buffy.

He's the one that made sure Myri understood that the knights are like famil okay.]

[sirsolace]

Let's get you laid down somewhere comfortable. [ gar and kat are on their way!!! solace seems to know exactly what to do, so he has someone help myri up onto a bed here, as he starts gathering supplies. ]

[witchwoman]

[Laying down, the reality of this happening fucking now seems to set in. That realization is cut off by another contraction, which drags a sharp cry out of her. Ow. Fucking ow.]

[sirsolace]

I can give you something for the pain, if you desire.

[slay]

[ And that's about the time Buffy comes screeching in, breathing hard from obviously having run from the middle of her midnight workout all the way here. ]

I'm here! I'm here, is she okay? [ She barrels through, and though her question seems to be aimed at Solace, her eyes are on Myri. ]

[witchwoman]

Yes! [That's to Solace.] I'm fine, [that part's to Buffy] but... something for the pain would be wonderful.

[Bless modern medicine.]

[wynn]

[ "She's only just arrived, we're getting her comfortable," solace says as he prepares for some drugs for her yay.

wynn appears in the doorway, hovering there about that moment. ]

[witchwoman]

[Myri nods to agree with Solace, trying to reassure Buffy because she takes care of people like that. But her expression falters when she sees Wynn.

Well, that's unexpected. She stops and stares for a moment, before she manages a smile.]

Hello, sir.

[wynn]

May I come in? [ he smiles back ever so slightly at myri, clearly not wishing to interfere ]

[witchwoman]

Of course. [She says without a moment's hesitation. Now that the initial shock of his presence has worn off, she's not about to be rude. She just didn't expect him to show up, honestly. But she shouldn't be surprised. Wynn is so good at making her feel valued.]

I'm sorry if we woke you. I just... [She thought you would want to know what was happening.]

[wynn]

These are always rare and blessed occasions within our walls. I was glad you thought to send word.

[witchwoman]

[Okay, she's actually gonna cry now. Damnit, Wynn! Happy tears, at least. She's just too emotional.]

[sirsolace]

[ bwaa myri, it's ok he's the first of many guests. mark even manages to make it while she's still in labor, because hers lasts the next 14 hours .___. which is to... 6pm, I think?

MAKE A FORTITUDE SAVE ]

[witchwoman]

[R u sure you don't mean will save? She's got more of that. She got a 13.]
