Friday 24 September 2038 8:45 PM Briar's grip on the handle of her knife loosened as the pain radiating from her lower back subsided. She set it down on the counter, her hand shaking slightly, and waved someone over to finish the prep work for the next morning. She went into her office and closed the door behind her, locking it for good measure before reaching for her phone and dialing Elliott's cell. She wasn't even sure where he was exactly. It didn't matter as much now to know when he was in Altrincham because he'd been apparating home to be with her at night for the past few weeks. She leaned against the edge of her desk while she waited for him to pick up, smiling down at her stomach. |

"Hello you," Elliott answered cheerily. "Did you finish up early?" he asked conversationally. He was at his office in Altrincham. He wasn't doing anything drastically important; just cleaning up his e-mail inbox. |

"Not exactly," she replied, laughing. His cheerfulness was contagious. "I will be coming home soon though, and you probably should be, too." She changed her tone to a teasing one, "Assuming you still want to be there when our daughter is born." |

"Really?!" his pitch rose in excitement. "Are you alright? Has your water broken? How far apart are your contractions? I'm leaving right now." He said this all very quickly while as he stood up out of his desk and turned off his computer with this switch instead of finishing the e-mail and waiting the thirty second for the computer to power down properly. He grabbed his jacket and started for the door. |

"Really, yes, not yet, seventeen minutes," she answered, forcing herself to at least sound calm. "Elliott, love, I'm completely fine right now. It'll be hours and hours before we need to go to the hospital, you might as well get a little bit of work done in the meantime, don't you think?" Briar was just trying to be practical. Things were going to be crazy for the next few days and she was pretty sure she'd need him more than his constituency would. But for now, there wasn't much he could do. "I'm not going to be able to leave here for a little bit anyway, we have the last interview at nine. But I promise I'll come home right after that." |

"No, that's no good at all," he said as his office door unintentionally slammed behind him and he started down the hall. "You cannot conduct an interview while you're in labor, Briar," he thought this was pretty obvious and could not believe it needed to be said. "They'll think you're a crazy person! It would send them running; even if they're perfect for the job. Have Noah do it. He'll be the one working with them, anyway, and you trust him. Please just come home. I can get the cab here early and be back at the apartment to apparate home in half an hour," he promised. |

"Elliott," she warned, "You know I won't be able to stop worrying if I don't have everything in order before I leave." She hesitated because Elliott's logic was tempting. She sighed softly, "Look, I at least need to meet the guy and make sure I don't hate him, then Noah can take over. Alright?" She glanced down at her watch when she heard a knock on her door. She pressed her cell to her shoulder and called out, "One minute." He was early, which was a good sign. "Alright. Elliott? I adore you. See you soon."

He wished so badly that he hadn't gone to Altrincham. Then he would be able to go there and get her himself. "Please just meet him and then go straight home. Please. I love you, Briar. Drive safe." |
