Yanis watched Nancy's reaction and nervously stood up, walking over to Nancy's side. "Are you okay?" she asked.
Nancy furrowed her brow and looked at Yanis. "I... I feel like something's not right. Could I be going into labor?"
As soon as Yanis heard this, she quickly called out, "Linda!"
Upon hearing Yanis's words, Linda leaned over from the side. "Yanis?"
"Where's Aunt Rivers? Nancy might be going into labor. We need to take her to the hospital!" Yanis exclaimed.
Upon hearing this, Linda responded, "Aunt Rivers is trying on clothes. I'll go get her."
There was chaos and confusion as Yanis drove. From the store to the hospital, Yanis kept a tight grip on the steering wheel.
The car stopped at the entrance of the hospital, and Yanis had Linda call for a doctor.
Soon, Nancy was wheeled onto a mobile bed and hastily taken into the delivery room.
Aunt Rivers took care of the necessary paperwork, and although Yanis had been pregnant before, she had never experienced childbirth. Watching the doctors and nurses rushing around, her heart couldn't help but tighten.
Linda stood by Yanis's side. "Yanis, is giving birth really that scary?"
Yanis shook her head. "I don't know."
Linda let out an "Oh." "I guess you really don't know."
"Aunt Rivers, have you called Nancy's husband?" Linda asked as Aunt Rivers approached them.
Aunt Rivers replied, "Yes, I called him. He's on his way."
Yanis had been in such a rush that she forgot to bring her phone. It wasn't until she calmed down that she remembered she had made plans with Sandy.
"Linda, do you have your phone with you?" Yanis turned to face Linda.
Linda handed her own phone to Yanis. "The password is six-six."
Yanis took the phone and called Sandy.
After dialing the number, there was no answer from Sandy's side.
Yanis hesitated and sent a text message before making another call.
This time, Sandy quickly picked up the phone. "Yanis?"
"Sandy, I'm sorry. Something came up here, and it might take a while for me to go back. Are you still at the store or on your way there?" Yanis asked.
Sandy responded, "I'm just one intersection away from the store."
Afterwards, Sandy asked, "What happened over there? Is it serious?"
"No, everything should be fine. I should be there in a while. Will you wait for me at the store, or should you go to your sister's place first and I'll come find you after I'm done here?"
"Is Bonnie at the store? If she's not, I'll go to my sister's place for a while."
"She's probably still at home. You can go to her place."
Sandy hesitated and said, "Then I'll go to Bonnie's place later. After you're done, come over to Bonnie's?"
Yanis nodded and replied, "Okay."
After ending the call, Yanis handed the phone to Linda and whispered, "Linda, do you want to go back to the store first? I'll take a cab back later."
Linda said, "You didn't bring your phone, so how will you get back later? I'll take a cab back, and you can drive back later."
The store was busy today, so Linda definitely couldn't stay here.
"Sounds good. You go back first, and I'll drive back later," Yanis agreed.
Linda nodded, bid farewell to Yanis, and went back to the store.
