_____________She had been in the bathroom for a little while checking her facial features and the coloring of her hair. It was in the aging process again and worried her into thinking that she was not going to be pretty and young for very long. She frowned at her reflection and crossed her arms. Well. . this sucks. The hospital had been pretty quiet the days she had been working. Very uneventful with the exception of Mei telling her about the women that came in to find out they were pregnant. Just thinking about pregnancy put her in a down mood. Watching deliveries on the side line always made her cry. Especially when the new born was handed to her mother's arms. Her eyes started to water up when she heard commotion going on outside the bathroom. She turned off the lights and walked out of it to find a hysterical man and a woman in labor with Dr. Hardass and. . . a blonde in one of the patient room. The nurse walked over to the blonde where she was speaking with the down to earth male. She looked at the two of them with concern and figured that the woman had things under control with the guy so she then walked over to the woman in labor.
"Hello, my name is Mindy. I am here to help, sweetie. Take deep breaths and try as much as you can to calm yourself and ease the pain of your contractions," she said speaking in a calm tone and brushed some of the hair off her forehead. She didn't mind the sweat or anything, she had to keep her mind on patient and what she needed. The room was feeling really crowded so she thought to go and get ice for the woman to help her in the heat of things. "I'll be back with ice, doctor," she said looking over her shoulder at him.
Mindy gave a smile to the woman to keep a friendly and positive atmosphere and then turned around and left the room. One less person to crowd the small room and more oxygen for the patient to breathe and calm herself.

-Alice Ladd-
Hm... Abusing Pip certainly brought peace to her. She most certainly would've continued with that all through her labor, but that blond woman showed up. Alice raised an eyebrow when she spoke, parting her lips at that whole codependent issue. What the hell? Right now? She didn't like the woman. Normally, she would just insult Pip... still... maybe she could actually be relaxed with him gone- "Yeah. Go away. Go with Miss Doctor whatever" replied the brunette right before Mao came up. Crap. Alice looked up at the male. "Yours?" she questioned. Ugh... this was really not what she wanted. That nurse was right about one thing, she wanted them all out... Except her... she was nice. "...I'm listening to her, she's nice" she said, in regards to the one who just left. All right... breathe and calm. She could do that. Now would be a good time to remember what Bela told her... Oh yeah... it was horrible. Yeah that was a lot of help...

 "What? What?!" Pip grew furious at Mao's words. The Frenchman growled at Mao as he stood up, hands in fists. "'ow dare you! You little man, ******** you, you-" Pip held his tongue for all of a second before he started hissing profanities in French. Doesn't have much of a relationship with the woman here? With his Alice his Cherie?! Who the ******** did this guy think he was?! Doctor or not, ******** this guy! When Pip was done ranting in French, about how Mao was an incompetent b*****d, who had a small d**k, and was about every other swear word in the French dictionary. Who knew nothing about what he had been through with Alice how long they had been dating and whose child that was Alice was about to give birth to. Pip angrily looked to Alice, not that he was angry at her, he was angry at Mao for.. being Mao really. "Cherie, i will be right back. If t'e little man gives you any trouble with, " Pip looked to Mao. "OUR baby.. just call me." Pip said, he didnt want to kill the man, just maybe punch him in the face for that remark. Pip went up to Alice and leaned over to gently kiss her lips. His anger left him when he did this. "I wont be far, no?" Pip said gently. "And if you want to rip 'is balls off go a'ead." Pip smiled to Alice. He gently squeezed her hand and met up with Eva. Least they had a blonde nurse that seemed level headed. "Okay.. but can we make t'is quick? I would like to be 'ere for t'e birth." Pip said sincerely to Eva.

She patted Pip on the back three times when the man showed obvious confusion as to what to do. Men, seriously. ”Now, now. It’s time to let her go… Unless you really want Dr. Short to skip on the pain meds. Now, you wouldn’t want to be responsible of you wife’s pain, would you?” Her speech seemed directed to the Frenchman, but her eyes had stayed on Alice, showing her that… well, to put in it psychological lingo, to ‘suck it up, buttercup’. She started to pull on the man’s arm to bring him out of the room, when Dr. Short talked and Pip started to yell in French. Dear Lord, with that kind of language, she was almost hopping that she didn’t knew French… Almost. She waited for him to be over with it. ”I really don’t see why you’d want to be here for the birth… Her v****a exploding, the baby being red, blue and brown, the screaming, the panic because there’s always something wrong with the birth and most of all… your wife system shutting down and making her literally shitting herself. But eh, whatever floats your boat. Now, follow me to my office…Or wait, in casse of complications, who should we let die? The woman or the baby? Oh…wait, you aren’t married, right? That’s what the Doctor said? Well then, seems like we’ll let the baby die. Now, follow me.”
Without giving Pip or Alice or anyone else for that matter say anything else, she firmly dragged Pip to Mao’s office. Well, she would have dragged him to her own, but she had just arrived! She didn’t have an office yet! She would need to use Dr.Short’s office in the meanwhile. She was sure that he was more than happy to get rid of the blonde man, anyway. She sat behind the desk, motioning Pip to take the seat in front of her. She took a kettle of boiling water, because we all known that Chinese people like Mao always have a kettle with hot water for throwing in Mei’s face making tea, and pour some in a used glass for Pip, throwing in a little bag of something unknown tea. She then returned to her side of the desk, crossing her legs and putting her fingertips together. ”Now, tell me, sir, why is it that you wish this baby never was born?”

Pip was just.. baffled at this woman's.. at anything that came out of this woman's mouth. He hadn't even sat down her earlier speech had him wide eyed and wide mouthed in shock. What the hell? Who should they let die! No one! What the ********! Who the ********! What the hell! And now she was just sitting there all non nonchalant asking him why he wished the baby was never born. WHAT?! Mao was one thing.. this.. b***h was a whole new basket case. It was a few split seconds before Eva stopped speaking that Pip snapped. "What t'e 'ell! Where do you get off?! What in t'e 'ell do you mean why do i wish- I don't wish t'at you b***h!" Pip, who usually never barked at a woman like this, slammed his hands on the table and glowered at Eva. "I love Alice, She is my Cherie! And so is t'e baby! I dont want eit'er of them to die. No i would take t'eir place if it meant t'ey could live." Pip said as he pointed to himself before pounding the desk again with his fist. "I am being supportive and caring for being t'ere wit' my Cherie in 'er time of need! Where do you get off making assumptions about s**t you dont know?! I dont care 'ow bad my Cherie looks or 'ow much she 'urts me. Unless she wants me to leave t'en i will stay by 'er side. Because t'ats 'ow i was brought up!" Pip said defiantly. "My fat'er taught me to worship women and care for t'em. To love t'em and give t'em everyt'ing t'ey want! Even if eets t'e shirt off my back." Pip added firmly. "And we would be married but Cherie 'as issues with eet. I 'ad to show 'er what love really was, because i love 'er and.. who t'e ******** are you to say ot'erwise?!" Pip said panting, wow it felt good to yell at someone for once. He had almost forgotten what it was like to bark at someone, usually his men, like this.

"You're right. There is something I do not know... I can't figure out if you don't really love her or if you are just afraid of her. You can't even say her name, after all. Going on about calling her Cherie." She took a little piece of paper and a pencil and started to write down notes. Such a trouble person. There obviously was something more to him, but nothing she could resolved in a day only. She would need a couple week of therapy to make it work out. Of well, she had the time and he seemed to have the money. "You father thought you to control women like that? What makes you think that marrying someone is an act of love? Isn't... simply loving them enough? You really need a wedding to show it to them? Can't you do it any other way? Or is it more that you were thought to control women through it? You do know that on the wedding contract, it says that the woman becomes the possession of the man, don't you? Now, tell me, was your father abusive on you? Your mother? Physically? Emotionally? Come, on, don't be shy, no one here is listening but me and that baby in the corner." Of course, little Xochiquetzal was sitting in a corner next to the door, sucking on her dog meat and staring at the two of them. How had she arrived there? Well, who knew.

"Which one! I dont want to- Alice Dammit! And i do love 'er im.. not afraid of her." Pip said his voice losing a bit of its oomph. Well Alice could be scary, especially lately with being hormonal. She could be really scary. But no that didnt matter! Pip shook his head as his thoughts went to his father. No his father never was abusive to him. Hard on him but still loving. His father was a mercenary though, so they did travel alot and well his mother... His mother had left them soon after Pip was born. Pip blinked, having lost alot of his anger. He shook his head and his finger. "Non, No i dont need to tell you anyt'ing. I didnt ask for t'is, i just came in 'ere to.." Wait why had he come in here? To help Alice? To get away from Mao? "We're done." Pip said as he turned and headed toward the door of the office.

Pips hand had gotten to the door handle. He turned his head towards Eva, looking over his shoulder at her, if it wasnt for the fact that his eye patch was on that eye that was facing towards her. Pip's hand twitched on the door handle and he sighed. s**t.. Why did she have to threaten him with that? Pip removed his hand from the door handle and threw up his arms in defeat. Fine.. fine she wanted to talk about his parents. Fine whatever. Pip turned around and went back over to the chair. This time he took a seat and ran his hand through his bangs, before letting his fingers trail along his long braid. He wasnt looking at her, more just staring off in thought. God he could use a cigarette right now. " I dont suppose you 'ave a cigarette?" Pip said gently, he paused for a bit longer, more hesitated before he looked to Eva, meeting her gaze with his one eye. "My Fat'er wasnt abusive to me, my mot'er left soon after i was born so i 'ave no memory of 'er." Pip said honestly. "My Fat'er never did marry my mot'er, but after she left us, 'e went through a few marriages and divorces. Not to mention t'e fact t'at we traveled alot." Pip said gently. "I know just loving someone is enough. But i ... " Pip stopped himself. He frowned and looked down to his hands in his lap. " ...just dont want Alice to leave me. I dont want to possess 'er or control 'er." Pip said softly. He had lost his men in battle, lost his mother for whatever reason. Lost his father because of the profession he was in. He didnt want to loose another important person in his life. "I just dont want to loose 'er or t'e child." Pip said with a frown.

“Ah, yes, you should listen to the woman who went through perhaps three or four years of schooling to learn to assist someone of more standing. I'm certain Nurse Romane will be capable of fixing umbilical cord compression or any positioning that isn't a vertex – oh, no, I'm sorry, that's the doctor's work, isn't it?” He rolled his eyes at Alice as he paused in his sarcasm to allow her to take that in. Could Milinda honestly fix any of those problems? Oh, Mao didn't really know, but he honestly doubted it. Even if she could, he was sure he would do a better job and no sane mother would allow some personal feelings to get in the way of her newborn's safety. “I would listen to me, Ms. Ladd. Being 'nice' has nothing to do with capability.” Really, who thought a personality would make someone better at something? Only someone as dim as Alice, obviously.

-Alice Ladd-
...Pip really was... something she wanted to smack. Alice simply sighed as the male went on and about, not really willing to get into that. She was in labor for Goddess sake! It was just a bit more important than his hysterics. Least now anyways. Of course she rolled her eyes when he was past sanity. Why had she grown attached to this idiot again?
...Now if she did that, then they'd be screwed genius. Even she knew that much! But now she was acknowledging that Chinese evil was really pissing her off. Especially when he was right about one thing, he was hr one delivering her child so maybe she should be nice. ...Or ******** it since he was being sarcastic. Alice narrowed his eyes at him, remembering to take deep breathes to help ease her mind. Maybe they'd really help-and goddammit would it kill him to shut up!? "...No, it does not. But it might have something to do with willingness to do their job" said the woman through gritted teeth. Egh... This would be so much easier if she wasn't in labor... All right this was the only doctor on the island... who she was positive would simply experiment on her if given the chance... Hey on the upside, if she died she wouldn't have to listen to him again.

_____________On her way back to the patient's room with a plastic bucket full of ice and a wet cloth, she saw the other blond woman lead the man that wasn't acting manly at all. She had lead him to Dr. Hadass' office and closed the door. What in the world. . Mindy knew this wouldn't go well with Mao at all but she wouldn't be the one to tell him. The nurse walked into the patient's room and closed the door behind her.
"Hey sweetie, I've got your ice. Would you like some in your mouth. Something to distract you and cool you off quicker. Some of it is ice shavings. The cubes will be in the wet cloth for your head."
While saying this to the woman in labor, she had already started placing the cubes in the cloth and wrapped it up, then applied to the forehead, dabbing along in places.
"You can squeeze my hand if you need to," she held out her hand as an offering and a smile on her face. "Doctor, how long do you think she will be in labor? An educated guess."

One thing. One thing Alice would be sure of for the rest of her life. Either she would never miss another one of her birth control pills, or get her tubes tied... because she was NEVER going through this again. Not even with those huge blue eyes looking up at her so adorably. Hell no.
Oh the birth? Well it was a normal one, as any hormonal woman would probably agree. Pain, asking for drugs, an evil doctor and a compassionate nurse. And an angry, or rather desperate, Pip on the other side of the room... Between Eva's therapy session and Mao simply yelling at him not to go in... and that he wasn't the father and... some things in another language that she did not care to even identify. She had her daughter, and that was all that mattered... oh and her boyfriend but she was still hormonal so she didn't even give a damn.
It wouldn't be until the second day that Mao was satisfied with the paternity test, and Eva had enough for the time being with Pip, or whether he threatened to do something in French, that he was allowed in and they had that happy moment Pip was dying for. Miah Bernadetto was born.
After bothering Mao enough, the little trio was able to leave the clinic and head to his home.
-END DAY-
((Crappy exit post... but let's just get everyone out of here.))

-New Day, few days later-  Dante had just been moping around town this morning. Vlad forced his twin out of the apartment this morning, he knew Dante couldnt mope about this Raiden guy. So the depressed drag queen was just aimlessly walking the town streets. He had stopped infront of the clinic half in thought. Maybe Mao, that weird Doctor had some odd home remedy that would help him get over this little heatbreak. Dante slipped into the clinic and gently called out. " Hello? Is .. anyone here?" Dante said a bit sheepishly. He shut the door behind him, his high heels lightly clapping against the hard wood floor. Chewing on his bottom lip Dante played with his own fingers nervously. It didnt look like the receptionist or nurse was around. Or the doctor... Dante slowly walked around the clinic, wow was it this Chinese styled before? Probably he just hadnt noticed it then. Dante headed down the hallway just searching for someone.. anyone? " Doctor? Miss Receptionist? Nurse lady? Anyone?" Dante asked as he walked. He started to panick, was he all alone?! Why had he come in here!? Why was Vlad shunning him? Did he not want to be his brother anymore!?

Waiting there was a very tall woman (I’m assuming he’s in drag). Like.. ******** tall woman. And she thought that she was tall! Ah! This one was what? Five inches taller than her? And Eva was wearing heels! She stared at the woman for three seconds before snapping out of it. Right, this wasn’t the time to judge anyone. There was a perfectly appropriate time that was paid to judge them later. ”Hello, I’m sorry, I have no idea where the receptionist went. Probably an emergency. Can I help you? Do you have an appointment?”, she asked the woman in the lobby. She could just warn whomever she had come to see after telling her to take a seat and wait.
