S31 205. Barbara Giving Birth

“Louis, Auntie is about to give birth!” Emily rose with a high arch of

her eyebrows.

“You’re right! We have to take her to the hospital!”

Wasting no time, Louis grabbed Barbara’s hand, pulling her to turn around. “Come on, Auntie. Let’s go back to the car.”

However, Barbara shook her head. Her face was pale, her body tense. Her feet seemed to be glued to the earth.

“What’s wrong, Auntie?”

“Call Philip,” she muttered softly.

“What?”

“Call Philip!”

The twins flinched. After one nod, they ran towards Philip.

“Uncle Philip! Uncle Philip!”

“Hey, where are you guys going?” Barbara exclaimed again.

The twins braked. When they looked back, Barbara was waving. “W

did you leave me here alone?” Her voice was shrill.

“You told us to call Uncle Philip!” Louis shook his head, not understanding.

“Yeah, but don’t leave me here.” While limping, she inched closer to Louis and Emily. “One person calls him. One more person, hold me!

The twins blinked. Not because they didn’t understand, but because they were surprised that Barbara could walk that badly. Even a 90-yea -old grandmother could do better than that!

“Why are you still?” Barbara waved again. “Hurry up and call Philip!”

The twins blinked. Louis poked his chest with his thumb. “I’m a faster runner than you, Emily. So, let me call Uncle. You help Auntie walk carefully. You’re strong, right?”

“You still have time to discuss? Hurry up and do it!”

“Okay!”

Louis ran again. His hand waved, hoping to catch Philip’s attention. Unfortunately, the man was too focused on the sound from his earphones. Only when Louis was panting in front of him did he take his eyes off the phone.

“What’s wrong, Louis?” He took off one earphone.

“Auntie peed! Looks like she’s about to give birth!”

Philip got up from the park bench. In the distance, Barbara was having difficulty walking even though Emily was holding her hand.

Without another word, Philip ran. He put his phone in his pocket ready to take Barbara who was crying and grumbling.

“Why are you taking so long? You said you wanted to be a sta husband? I’m scared, Philip. What if our baby comes out here?”

Let’s go to the hospital.” Philip carried Barbara walked quickly towards the car. Meanwhile, Emily ran as hard as s
