[Giselle is sitting in front of the camera. She is smiling slightly, but her breathing is heavy and her eyebrows are furrowed.]

I don't want to panic anyone...but I may need some help. I...

[She pauses and takes a few deep breaths.] I think the baby is coming. Robert was called into a last minute meeting he couldn't get out of and he's on the other end of the city right now. I've called him, so he's on the way to meet me at the hospital but I'd rather not-

[She bends over, letting out a cry of pain as a contraction passes. Again she breathes heavily. After a moment passes she looks up again.]

I'm sorry. It's just...I'd rather not go by myself. I don't want to bother everyone, but is there anyone who can keep me company?

[ooc: As with other baby posts, please act as if this one was posted in the main community. Thank you!]

Giselle! Where are you? Are you by yourself? [Concerned Ianto is concerned]

[dreaming-oflove.livejournal.com]

I'm in my apartment still. I am alone, but I'm alright for now, really!

Are you sure you're okay alone? D'you want me to come over? How long ago did it start? [His sister has had kids, after all, and he knows that if it hasn't been that long, then she really should be waiting before going into the hospital--they're likely to send her right back home.]

It's been about a half hour now...

Are you sure? I don't want to bother you if you're busy, Ianto.

[torchwoodteaboy]

It's really no trouble at all. Especially since it might be a while, for you... Being alone when you're uncomfortable is never a good thing. Unless... Unless you'd rather someone come instead?

[dreaming-oflove.livejournal.com]

No. Not, that's lovely of you. I'd be more than happy to have your company if you don't mind.

[torchwoodteaboy]

I don't mind at all. I can be there in...five, ten minutes, if that's alright?

[ooc: want to do a little action spam of the two of them waiting and him fussing over her? ;3;]

Who leaves a lovely woman in your condition alone so close to birthing? A who keeps Roberts at meetings? Awful world!

That won't do at all!

[dreaming-oflove.livejournal.com]

Robert really didn't want to leave, but the meeting was called last minute. I told him I would be fine...but I suppose I'm not anymore.

But I'm sure he'll be here soon!

[andthehat]

You'll be fine. I'd keep you company if I had one of those worldhopping devices, dear.

Someone would probably get there rather quickly. Babies get much faster reactions than pirates.

I think you're supposed to be taking certain types of breaths.

[dreaming-oflove.livejournal.com]

Thank you. I appreciate the thought! Ianto is coming soon to keep me company so I should be just fine.

Yes, I've been doing the breathing that the doctor taught me. It has been helping somewhat.

[andthehat]

You're welcome, dear. Good man to come over there.

Put something cool on your neck. Should be a bit relaxing.
I must say you're incredibly calm for a woman in labor. And with perfect hair. How do you manage?

[dreaming-oflove.livejournal.com]

Ah! Thank you! That's very good advice.

I'm not really sure. I suppose I'm just so happy about the baby coming that I can manage the difficulty.

[andthehat]

You're welcome. Marie did it with little Lou and it seemed to increase the comfort levels.

Now that is the perfect quality of a mother. Have you planned everything out for the little one? Names, where to put it, making sure siblings know how not to drop it- that sort of thing...?

... You're not going to have a baby over video, are you?

[dreaming-oflove.livejournal.com]

Oh no! Certainly not!

I should still have plenty of time before the baby comes to get to the hospital. I certainly wouldn't want the community to post the birth of all things!

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

That'd be disgusting.

[dreaming-oflove.livejournal.com]

I imagine it would be very uncomfortable for people, yes.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

So what are you going to do?

[dreaming-oflove.livejournal.com]

Ianto is coming to stay with me until Robert returns. Then we'll most likely go to the hospital.

My doctor told me that the contractions can last quite a while before the actual birth.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

It sounds irritating.

[brbgonefishin.livejournal.com]

Miss, do you need help?

[dreaming-oflove.livejournal.com]

O-oh. Thank you, but I should be alright. A friend of mine is on his way to help.

[roseandsparkle.livejournal.com]

Giselle!!! Make sure you breathe carefully! Boil lots of hot water! Keep away from spicy foods! Sit very still! AND WHATEVER YOU DO DON'T PANIC!!!!!!!!

[dreaming-oflove.livejournal.com]

Oh my! Tamaki! I'm alright, really!

I didn't mean to worry you!
