Frida woke with a gasp, and shuddered. She realized she wasn't on a beach, with her toes in the water, but naked and cold in a stone room, who knows where. She instinctually reached up and grabbed Emma, hugging her close. "Where am I?" she asked, trying to steady her breathing.
Suzy accepted Hrothbert's hand, cautiously, and turned toward Romulus. "I've got to help him," she said, biting her lip. She'd grasped what had happened, more or less, and that being asleep wasn't a good thing.
Rak, however, was fuming. "Stop sleep go now not wake Rak get hit very hurt yes yes! Stop stop stop sleep go sleep go sleep go!"
In the dream world, however, Eli was surprised to see his wife get up and leave. "F-Frida?" Something was wrong, and he would fight against it.
[ Rolling to wake Eli.
D< REALLY. ]

Kaok eyed Suzy and Rom carefully. If they were smart they wouldn't try anything here, but... one could never be sure. Remus had hardly been able to hold off. Well, then again...

Emma sneered, fighting the urge to kick Romulus in the ribs. She managed to get out a few unsavory oaths in Old English before a warning glare from her husband silenced her.
Hrothbert, meanwhile, was crouching beside Eli, forming the spell to wake him.

Rom was enjoying the dream, but he thought it best to wake up. The amount of time that past in your sleep was different from that of reality. If he stayed too long, he might oversleep and be late for something. What that was, he didn't know.

Suzy dropped to her knees beside Romulus's prone body, shaking him ever so gently. "Wake up, Rommy. Come on..."
"NO! Sleep go!" Rak was a mess now, and fat tears rolled down his cheeks.
Eli coughed, rolling onto his side. "Something was wrong there, huh?" he asked the ceiling, blinking to make the brightness recede.

Suddenly, the beach began shaking violently. Romulus stumbled and the ground around him began to crumble, rocks began to randomly explode and the cabins splintered. Suddenly, a piece of sharp jagged hit him in the head.
Romulus opened his eyes to see Suzy looking over him. The Betrayer sat up and rubbed his eyes with one hand. It was then he realized that he was sitting in a cold stone cell, stripped of everything and with wrong company, except for Suzy.
"What is this? Some sort of joke?" he asked nobody in particular.
"I wish it were so." the silver automaton replied.
"Remus. Good to see you. I'm assuming you're still angry about-"
"What do you think, scumbag?"
Romulus ignored his brother and turned his attention to the others. "I'd like an explanation."

Suzy wrapped herself around Romulus, nodding. "Do any of you know what's going on?" Frida shook her head. Eli merely groaned, before being tended to by his wife.

"No idea."
Emma was gripped by a round of contractions, and her knees went weak. Hrothbert had his arm around her within moments, keeping her upright.

Rom relaxed a little when Suzy held him. Still, the presence of the Imperial couple and the Bainbridges was a bit discomforting. The other couple were complete strangers, but if they were associated with the other two, then he already hated them. He didn't like Rak either, but that was only because Rak was ugly. However, he put all this aside for the moment since it would seem that they would need to put their differences aside for the time being.
"Is she going to be alright?" Rom asked Hrothbert. Though deep down, Rom hoped that her pregnancy would run into more complications and kill her and whatever abomination she carried in her womb.
"Since when did you start caring about people?" Remus lashed out.
Romulus didn't answer. He wasn't in the mood to get into a c**k fight with Remus. "Is she?" he repeated.

The Empress wondered briefly if this was part of a dream, too. It seemed so surreal. Emma couldn't give birth here, and Romulus was actually showing concern for her. But dream or not, emotions needed to be kept in check.
Kaok grabbed Remus' arm and tried to calm him down. "Now really isn't the time for this. We do need to make sure Emma's alright."

"I-I'm fine. This happens-" Emma drew in a gasping breath. "This happens often. I'm not in labor. Not yet. But soon."
The enchantress closed her eyes, going limp in her husband's arms as she tried to block out the pain.

The Imperator calmed down when Kaok grabbed his arm. He didn't say anything more, but he was still not happy with the whole situation. Rom and Suzy would always be in his field of vision.
Romulus simply nodded. "I forgot that the Bainbridges are prone to being so melodramatic."

Frida forgot her own troubles to care for Emma. A little embarrassment was nothing when someone was hurting. It wasn't like nudity in front of strangers was new to her; she just needed to get used to it again. She put her hand on Emma's forehead, for once not asking permission.
Suzy nodded to the door that Rak had been protecting not long before. "Shouldnt we be leaving? Staying here isn't accomplishing anything." She wasn't in the mood to squabble. She wasn't shy, but she didn't particularly want to see anyone else ( excluding the obvious ) naked. Not to mention, it was hard to refrain from comparing the Fletcher brothers.

Emma nodded when Suzy mentioned the door, looking frantic even as the contractions released her.
"It won't be that easy. If they had the power to bring us here, trap us here-
"Better than staying."

Remus was silent for awhile before he spoke up.
"What if we can get whoever guards this place to open the door? We could tell them that Emma needs immediate medical attention and when they open the door, we jump them and run."
"But that only gets us out of the cell. We have no idea where our clothes are or what the rest of this compound looks like."
