Major decision

[Stan Bowen]

Stan was pacing in his and Amandas flat, the secure link to the war room relaying up to the minute updates on the invasion of Salen Center, New York.

[Amanda Weinrich]

Amanda's voice came from the bathroom "Oh fuck!" she said, loudly and then a bit more quietly, added "You picked a sucktastic day to do this, Jo-jo."

[Stan Bowen]

"What? You're kidding!"

Stan got up, joining his wife to be.

"You're going into labor?" he said, extremely concerned.

[Amanda Weinrich]

"My fucking water just broke, so yeah, I think so." Amanda said.

[Stan Bowen]

"Shit, hang on, I'll go get the car.." said, glancing nervously at the data stream.

[Amanda Weinrich]

"I'll walk." Amanda said, "Walking is good for me."

[Stan Bowen]

"c'mon, I can't just leave you to walk to the infirmary! Our son is being born.." he started, getting the car keys from the coffee table.

[Amanda Weinrich]

Amanda put her hand on his shoulder "Stan, you need to go help Christie and Tommy. Let me get this one."

[Stan Bowen]

Stan paused, reaching up and holding her hand on his shoulder.

"God damned Apocalypse.. Let me get you to the infirmary, at least. It's on the way to the staging facility.."

[Amanda Weinrich]

"Thanks." Amanda said "I love you, so much."

[Stan Bowen]

Stan drove quickly, escorting her to the maternity ward before promising to be back as soon as possible, and rushing to join the departing blackbird at the hangar.
