Pisces, Virgo rising is a very good sign: Strong and kind, and the little boy is mine

Early labor had begun while the parents-to-be were visiting the Manor, and - as with every other stage of the pregnancy - Mokey was delighted. Though the discomfort moving into pain was there, even that left her awed. Gobo was... Less awed, worrying over the midwife and the others getting there, but Mokey was sure things were going to go just fine - better than "just fine," in fact.

After about an hour of light contractions, though, she started to feel restless. She could move around without the midwife, surely... And a glance out the window told her what she needed. In typically-Mokey, absent-minded fashion, she started making her way to the door, murmuring something about being back soon to Gobo, who Scrooge was trying to reassure at that exact moment.

Gobo had become quite stressed out when Mokey had reported contractions. Sure, over the past few weeks since his Episode he'd gotten much better about this but now it was here! The time was coming! And he was quite in a tizzy, even as Scrooge tried his best to calm him down and keep him distracted.

Unfortunately, because of his state it took about a full minute for "I'll be right back, Gobo" to filter in through everything else. Cutting off whatever Scrooge had been saying he whipped around, looking in the room with them. "Mokey? MOKEY!"

And then he was gone, running off after her, catching up easily enough though she'd already gotten outside by that point. "Mokey, what're you doing?!"
