A familiar ring tone wakes Siv - she’s asleep, in a bit of a wine fugue, but she recognizes Piper’s ring and manages to shake it off.

Meanwhile, Jonas, at one of his side jobs, has his phone on vibrate, but also manages to catch the buzz, and step aside to take the call.

Both pick up... Siv a bit more groggily

"Piper?" In stero

“Oh, good. Okay, now don’t freak out, okay?” The call is a bit fuzzy, noise in the background.

Well, THAT wakes Siv up "Buuut?"

Jonas grunts something meant to keep his worries in check

“Well, I was feeling just a little short of breath, nothing major, and…. (Slightly muted) No, sorry, I need to finish this call. I understand, but… okay. Just one minute.”

“I went to the doc, and she told me to do a stress test just to be sure, and - um, well, they think I need… they want to do a- uh. A c-section. Today. Just to be safe!” She adds this last on quickly.

"If it will help you be safer, then of course" Siv says

Jonas asks "When do they want to do this?"

“Er.” She says, a touch nervously.

“Miss, we HAVE to get you in a gown now, you’ll have to put away the phone, it’s not sterile.”

They can hear in the background.

“Now… ish?”

"Sif's hair!" Siv already leaping out of bed. She realizes she's forgotten her shoes, and her purse with the stuff they'll need. She heads back babbling "Okay. You're at the hospital, the same one we were going to do this yes? What room? We're on our way"

Jonas frowns "PIper, we're on our way. We'll bring anything you need."

“They’ll only let one person in as my support person in the OR. I.. I gotta get cleaned up, can you decide? The other has to wait in the room…” She has a bit of an artificially chipper tone, a bit overkill. “It will be fine! Yes! I’m fine!”

"Only one?" Siv snaps "Are they out of their mind?"

Piper passes on the info and then adds, “Please hurry.” This last leaking a tiny bit of worry into her tone. Though she tries to hide it@

"On our way" Jonas says

Siv says "I'll drive. Love you"

They are about to break some speed limits

They do bring some other things, records and more. They drive and Siv kvetches about this 'one has to wait?"

"We CAN shapeshift" Jonas reminds "Just don't get seen as a mouse or the like."

Siv says "We could flip a coin for it?"

"With that loaded coin you have for your spy job , right?" He says dryly

"Hey, since you insist" She beams

Anyway, they get to the hospital ASAP

There is a bored looking nurse at the front desk assigning name badges and validating parking. Siv feels the start of a chill that normally would bother Sidhe more than a troll…

(D may post, then Pause)

Jonas approaches "Pardon, we got word that Piper McCormick is on the ___ floor, getting a C section? We're here for her. Is there something I neeed to fill out?" He makes a look at Siv and nods. If it helps, SHe will go in. Birth should be less banal than waiting in the hall
