Nurses came running. The sound of their shoes hitting the floor echoed through the corridor like a stampede. Two of them reached Shayla first, a younger one with wide eyes and an older one with the calm efficiency of someone who had done this a thousand times before. The older nurse took one look at the puddle on the floor, at Shayla's white face, at the way she was gripping Grayson's arm with both hands, and immediately started giving orders to anyone within earshot. "Get a wheelchair right now and call ahead to labor and delivery. Tell them we have a full-term mother with water broken in the corridor. She is moving fast." The younger nurse sprinted away without a word. The older one put a steadying hand on Shayla's back and spoke directly to her in a voice that was meant to be calming but carried an edge of urgency underneath it.

Her baby boy. Her firstborn. Tears were pouring down her face. Happy tears. Overwhelmed tears. Everything all at once. "My baby. My sweet baby boy. You are awake. You are really awake." She was kissing his face. His forehead. His cheeks. Anywh

Ran toward Ruby with their arms outstretched."Careful! Gentle!" Ricardo called out immediately. His voice sharp with worry. "She is very pregnant! Do not knock her over! Be gentle!"But the kids were already crashing into Ruby. Wrapping their arms around her. Hugging her as gently as excited children could manage. Which honestly was not very gentle at all.Ruby's arms came around both of them. Pulled them close.And immediately burst into tears. Just started sobbing. Her whole face crumpled up. Tears streamed down her cheeks rapidly. Creating wet tracks through her makeup."My dynamic duo is awake!" she said through her sobs. Her voice was thick and choked. "Oh my God! I cannot believe it!
