Campbell I was sitting at my desk, clicking away when I received a phone call from a number I didn't recognize. Curiously, I picked it up. "Campbell? Hey its Mary-" There was a long pause and I became worried. "Mary? Are you ok?" I asked. "Yeah- it was just a contraction. I just got to the hospital a couple hours ago." She said. I was shocked- it was still about a week until her due date. I wish she would have called me earlier, but I understood that maybe she didn't get the chance to and it was probably really hectic there. "I'm on my way." I said, grabbing my bag as we spoke. Once I hung up, I talked to my boss quickly and then left. In the elevator I called Mason but he didn't answer. With a huff, I left a voicemail. "Hey babe... so Mary's in labor and at the hospital... I know you're probably busy but I really want you there... plus we need your car because it has the car seat. Ok, whatever I'll just meet you there." I rambled. "Love you." I added quickly before hanging up. By now I was at my car so I jumped in and quickly drove to the hospital. Someone directed me to Mary's room, where an officer was standing outside of the door. Inside was not only Mary, but a woman who looked like her. I assumed it was her mom, so I smiled and said hello then sat next to her. I checked my phone and Mason still hadn't called or texted. For Mary's sake, I tried not to seem worried.

Mason I had left my phone on my desk when I went out on a call. When I got back I saw the call from Campbell. After listening to the call I hurried out. I turned the lights on to my undercover car and sped to the hospital. I found the officer outside the hospital door and he let me in. "Campbell? Mary?" I breathed. "I'm here."

Campbell I smiled, relieved. "Good. I was worried." I admitted to him with a whisper. I looked back to Mary. "You're doing great." I assured her.

Mason "Do you need anything?" I asked.

Campbell She shook her head. "I'm just exhausted." She admitted. The nurse entered to check on Mary and hesitated. "I'm really sorry but there can only be one other person in here when the doctors and other nurses come. We need the space to work." She said. I bit my lip, wanting to stay but nodded. "You should stay." I said softly, nodding at Mary's mom. They deserved to have this time together.

Mason I nodded. "We're right outside if you need anything." I said. I took Campbell's hand and quietly left the room with her.

Campbell The nurse was able to let us wait in a private family waiting room nearby, which was nice. I sighed and slumped in my chair. "Now we have to wait." I said.

Mason "Do you want a snack while we wait?" I asked her, trying to calm her nerves.

Campbell I wasn't really hungry, but I knew it would distract me. "Sure." We walked to the vending machine together. "How was work?" I asked.

Mason "It was good. I wasn't expecting this call today though." I said.

Campbell "Me neither. I guess he couldn't wait." I chuckled softly. "Do you have the car seat?"

Campbell "Good." I said. We went back to the room and sat down. "I wonder how long this is going to take." I said, nibbling on a pop tart.

Campbell "I know. You're much better at that than me." I teased lightly.
