IC Date: April 20th, 2014
IC Time: Noon [/u][/center] Faizah had been walking the hallways, keeping active as much as she could. She felt like a blimp, and was tired of being essentially useless. The doctors had told her she was not allowed to do anything. No lifting, no moving anything, no bathing Surth or Reyna. She wasn't even supposed to be on her feet for more than ten minutes at a time. She sighed, frustrated. She had been due two weeks ago. The fact that her child still hadn't decided to come into the world made her even more nervous. On top of that, K'ryn had been running back and forth to Pern a lot in the past few months. So much so that he barely had time to sleep before he had to leave again. She stopped, leaning slightly against the wall. Her back felt like it was on fire, but that wasn't the worst. As she stood there she felta spasm in her stomach, such a strong spasm that she actually gasped in pain. A moment later her water broke. Faizah gasped again, her eyes going wide. At the same moment she realized what had happened, she reached out to Surth. Tell K'ryn that the baby is coming...She headed towards the Infirmary, keeping one hand on the wall for support. She was relieved when she reached the Infirmary, and the doctors were waiting for her. |

The hours passed, and her labor only got worse. Faizah was growing more and more distressed and scared as the time ticked away. K'ryn still hadn't shown up, and she heard nothing from Surth. The pain was excruciating, but she refused to accept any medication. The medicine was scarce as it was, and she refused to make the pool even more shallow.
The doctor appeared next to her, setting a hand gently on her shoulder. "Faizah, I wish you would take the medicine. Its good to be able to feel the pain in labor sometimes, but then there is too much pain. Its making this all worse for you." He explained in a gentle voice.
Faizah shook her head, tears streaming down her face. She didn't dare speak, too afraid that she would start screaming. She didn't want to start screaming, because she knew that would break the dam she had erected. If she started screaming now, she wouldn't stop screaming, she would stop crying, she would start begging that K'ryn hurry.
She didn't want to be the hysterical woman...
Reyna chirped sadly from her perch on the rafters. She was worried about Hers, and she refused to leave the Infirmary while Faizah was there. She also wondered where K'ryn was, and often reached out to Braun to try and get him to alert His about Faizah's condition. But both her and Surth's attempts ended in silence.
The doctor shook his head, looking down at Faizah with worry. "You're about eight centimeters dilated, Faizah. You're almost there." He said softly.
