Phoenix sank on her shocks as her sides heaved as she tried to catch her breath. She took another deep breath and pushed again.

(((((OOC: Sorry, my mom borrowed my computer to pay for something online.)))))
Doc reached out to the can that Raine had set out for him and took a careful sip. He waited awhile to see what would happen and when nothing apparently did, he nodded slowly and took another few sips before he could take in no more. He knew that it was not a good idea to take in fuel all at once when he was sick.

Ricardo took the insults calmly. He nodded to Atsuko, "Si, mi madre went through it several times with my younger brothers and sisters and was witness to each one."
Ebony just blinked, understanding what each Spanish curse meant, "Wow, those are some nasty insults..."

"You are still halfway there." Daniel said. "Another four months and two weeks to go, no sooner." He knew that firstborns were usually even later. He had given his own mom a scare since he was her first. She had carried him three weeks more before he decided to finally get out. The radio room was having a medicopter on standby for transfer if the newborn was deemed to need some help at the hospital.

"Thank God." Liska nodded as she craned her neck over the knot of humans and cars.
"I've heard'em all." Atsuko shrugged. "In English, Spanish, Italian, Chinese, Japanese and Arabic."
"Here comes another one. Push again!" Elizabeth called out.

"You can do it," Ricardo said encouragingly.
Ebony nodded resignedly. There was not that much else for her to say, but she understood how it felt to give birth so she was just sympathetic to Phoenix's ordeal.

Daniel continued to stay close to Liska, though he was not much for watching.
Aron could hear what was being said, and knew that it was them fighting words spoken probably because of lack of anesthesia.

Phoenix struggled to catch her breath and pushed as the next conctraction came, still threatening Ricardo.

Ricardo just took the insults with the calmness that he was raised up with. Ebony, however, wasn't doing so well, but she was determined to stick it out.

Raine drooped her mirrors against her head and gave a small but audible whimper of concern before pressing her muzzle against her sick father's fender. "Please get better, Daddy..." She hated seeing Doc so miserable...

"I think I see a little nose here!" Elizabeth smiled. "Another push!"
Liska raised her eyebrows as she caught a glimpse. "Wow. That looks all too organic to me."

Daniel looked on, being taller. "Sure does. We are all alive. We are all alike."

Phoenix panted for a momen catching her breath, gathering her strength up for another push as the next contraction started.

Doc just smiled wearily. "Don't worry..." he said quietly, "I don't give up that easily... I'll get through this... I promise..."

At the other end of the court, Melody was keeping the twins well away while all of this was going on. They were way too young, in her opinion, to be observing what was happening.
Ricardo and Ebony, the latter looking like she was going to hyperventilate, remained to give their support.

Raine nuzzled her father, "Anything else I can do for you?"

"You are a great help to me, already..." said Doc.

Delfina had been watching this and was wondering if she could lend some of her energy to help Phoenix along with the birth, just like the extra energy that was lent to her when she fought Grayston. She paused, then decided to go along with her idea, adding her own energy to the process.
'Here. Have some of my powers. They'll help,' she thought-spoke.
