You Said You'd Be There; Lena/ Jude/ Spyra?

[Lena]

Labor Pains

Finally she was was free, was all Lena could think about as she made her way down the driveway to her chariot for the night. Sure, it wasn't a limo, but a bright yellow taxi would do the job. Gently making her way into the back of the cab she made herself comfortable before telling the cab where she wanted to go.

They pulled off and she was glad to be out of that house. This was the one time no one was there to stop her from going out on her own. If she would have went with Jude he would have made her keep sitting down to rest in the mall, and anyone else would have been too scared to accompany her. She sighed at the thought.

Pulling out the mall catalog she had ordered she turned to the baby section. Red permant marker stained almost every page in the baby section. Sure, she didn't have alot, but she was sure one day soon she would be able to get all these outfits and toys for her baby girl. Looking up she saw they were about half way to the mall. She looked back down to her catalog. Before she could even turn the page the cab hit a pothole with a large thump.

It rattled her slightly. She took a deep breath and then noticed the warm wet liquid covering her whole bottom half. Did she pee on herself? Then it hit her. Her water broke. "Uh...driver...Can you turn around and quick. I need you to tqake me to the New York State Hospital. My water just broke." With a sigh and a complaint about hacing to clean that up himself he turned around and sped towards the hospital. All Lena could think about was Jude.

She picked up her phone and called. He didn't answer. She called again. This time leaving a message.

"Jude...My water broke. Meet me at New York State Hospital. Hurry."

She continued to call...and call....and call. With each her message got more and more....well less nice, She tried texts. She tried urgent texts. Even emailing his phone. Nothing was working and she was at the hospital. Once the cab driver came back out to the cab with a nurse and a wheel chair she paid the man and apologized and was on her way.

The nurse cooed her excitement to Lena, and all she could do was pout. Where the fuck was Jude? This was very much not okay. He could get tail on his own time...not on the night of his daughter being born. Rolling her eyes she went through the process of being checked in to a room. Not to mention the contractions.

Just when she needed a hand to hold. Jude was no where to be found. The contractions were horrible and all she could do was breathe the out. The nurse coaxed her to go ahead and get the epidural, but she insisted on waiting. Something told her Jude would show soon. Maybe with flowers and a sorry bear. Atleast that's what she hoped.

He better fucking show....

[Jude]

Fuck

This day was like any other.

Or, at least that's what he thought. But for the most part, it was a good day. The sun was out and shining, hardly any clouds in sight. It was a beautiful summer day. Knowing it was going to be such a beautiful day, he called up Spyra and asked her out on their first date.

They were having a damn good time. Running around Corney Island and riding every ride they saw. Laughing, he pulled her close, planting a kiss to her cheek as they started walking out towards the subway station. "Did you enjoy yourself?" He asked, looking over at her as they waited.

Feeling a slight buzz in his pocket, he pulled out his cell. It wasn't lighting up. Was it even on? He let go of her hand, brows furrowed as he tried to figure it out. "Fuck." He muttered. "My batteries just died."

[Spyra Areleous]

Crack in the Line

The call from Jude was unexpected to say the least but more than welcome. Coney Island...was amazing. She always loved that place but it was so nice being there with Jude. Better than nice; perfect. Besides having loads of fun on all the rides... Well, it was like they were a real couple. Holding hands, kissing while in lines; he held doors open for her and let her squeeze his hand on the scary rides, kissed her with a laugh once they got off. She egged him on, betting she could eat a whole Coney-dog and calling him chicken when he baulked at one of the bigger rollercoasters.

It really was one of the best dates she had ever had. And by the time it was time to leave, Spyra was exhausted. Sun-drunk and sleepy, she dragged her feet as they made their way to the subways, leaning heavily on him. "Mhm!" she hummed in reply to his question. "The best," she assured him, dropping a kiss to the underside of his chin.

Her brow furrowed as he announced the state of his phone. "Oh no." She knew Lena might be trying to contact him, if something went wrong. She knew her name now. Lena. They hadn't met yet or anything, but at least she had a name... "You can use mine, if you need to make a call..." She was planning on asking him back to her house... Her brother was still working and...well, she wasn't going to sleep with him, but making out at least had certainly been on her mind.

"I was gonna say come to my house," she began, listening as a subway on another track whizzed by, "to hang out, you know. But you wanna head back to Bellaza? So you can charge it?"
