Unfortunately, Bertram hadn't been around for the start of Rachel's labour - he'd only gotten to be there for the part that had involved a lot of her shouting at him. He wondered if that was just what happened when women were pregnant.
"Morning," he mumbled, rapidly becoming aware of the fact that Bianca was hunched over, and then she was beckoning him towards her and he rushed to her side as he'd become accustomed to doing. Yes, they'd had their share of false labour, and even if it had meant drinking a lot of double-espressos in the morning at work, it had been worth it to have Bianca happy. She wasn't personable when she was happy in the same way that he wasn't personable when he wasn't having sex.
"Okay," he said, taking her hands in his and blinking a little more, "What's the matter? I mean, aside from the scrambled eggs." Because she was not the sort of person to get upset about things like that, even if she was pregnant.
