Chapter 136: To Emily, Where Ever I May Find Her, Part 3

The Spaulding Apartment, Chicago

"We can't delay any longer," said Lena. "The baby doesn't want to wait. Cyrus and Kevie, please help her to a bed."

April screamed and asked them to wait until her contraction passed. "I have the urge to push."

"Fight it," urged Lena, "don't push yet. I'll be in in a moment."

Lena went to the bathroom and scrubbed her hands and arms.

Katya followed her in. "Do you know what you're doing? I mean have you ever birthed a baby before."

"Haven't you?" Lena asked in return. "I mean, a dame cannot live on this earth for ninety years and not experience a few things along the way."

"The opportunity never arose," answered Katya.

"Well do me a favor, then babe. Prepare her and put a bunch of towels under her bottom."

Katya looked at her with consternation.

"Go, sister. I do know what I'm doing. I will take good care of that girl and her baby. I promise."

Katya smiled and took off, kicking the boys out of the room and helped April off with her jeans.
