Aimee had been out shopping; on her own having a well-earned quiet time, however she’d been feeling ill all morning, with stomach cramps and all. She’d decided it was probably wind problems or something and ignored it. However she was hit by a particularly bad cramp in the middle of a deserted alley, half way between Knockturn and Diagon Alley, she’d been making a short cut and now she couldn’t stand up. The cramp had her leaning on the wall to maintain her standing position Aimee dropped her shopping bag, the contents of which, including her wand went rolling away on the ground away from her. She slid down the wall to the floor and breathed in deeply and tried to stand up, only to be hit by another excruciatingly painful cramp. She felt her eyes water, with the pain, and found she was helpless to do anything but sit perfectly still.

Kieran, having just been down Knockturn Alley to check out Borgin and Burkes for no reason other than he liked to look at all of the cool stuff Mr Borgin had on display, spotted a wand rolling towards him across the cobbled street, and stopped it with his khaki converse-clad foot, looking down at it curiously before stooping and picking it up, wondering to whom it belonged. Looking around, he saw random items of someone's shopping following the wand's path. His eyes darted over to an alleyway - from where they seemed to be coming from - and saw Aimee sitting on the ground, apparently in pain. Scooping up her shopping, he moved over to her and crouched down next to her.
"You alright?" he asked her anxiously, putting her shopping back in its bag, which lay next to her, and carefully putting her wand in on top. "What happened?"

((mesa going to join ya'll since Amiee like a sister to Anahita. Alrightly? If not I can delete my postie!))
Anahita had just been walking around, doing nothing. It was just one of those boring days for her. Her dark hair was tied back into a ponytail, to keep the light breeze that passed her from messing with her hair. She was dressed in something very unusual for her, but that was besides the point. She had on a long pair of dark demin jeans that flared at the bottom, a chocolate brown turtle hugged her upper body. a light weight black leather jacket covered her shirt, and kept her worm. On her feet she wore a girl's DC brand of shoe. It was brown with a few stripes of black.
Suddenly, she stopped in her tracks. Was that Amiee on the ground? Anahita hadn't recognized Kieran yet, but did after a few seconds. Though she was happy to see Kieran, she was more interested in what was going on with Amiee. She looked like she was in some major pain, and concern washed over Anahita. "Amiee!" she shouted, and ran over to her. Crouching down next to her on the side Anahita pushed a few strands of Amiee's hair that had fallen out of her face. "Amiee, honey, what's wrong?" she asked.

Aimee looked up at Kieran and then Ana, “I’m – I’m fine…” she said, trying to stand up. In her mind she knew the baby was coming, but she wasn’t going to accept it, how could she bring a baby into a world that contained her husband? She fell back from her attempt to stand up and some liquid trickled down her thighs.

Kieran looked down at her and shook his head, biting his lip. "No you're not." Then he swallowed, a thought darting into his already paranoid mind. The baby... "It... It's the baby isn't it," he faltered, his eyes growing wide, beginning to panic. "Aimee? Just - just don't move, alright? Erm... and don't push," he gulped, "or, erm... anything... like that..." He ran a hand through his hair, trying to think what to do. "Oh Scheiße," he swore, falling back into his mother tongue of German momentarily. "Look... it's going to be okay, we just need to find... someone... Try breathing - take, like... deep breaths or something... Erzählen sie mich was zu machen!" He shook his head hurriedly. English, you fool... English... "Tell me what to do!" He looked to both Aimee and Anahita, probably in a worse state than Aimee.

Anahita turned her attention to Kieran,"Calm down, Kieran. Go get help, I'll stay here with her. Okay?"

Aimee shook her head violently at the mention of it being the baby, "I... don't need... any help," she said, breathing quickly and loudly through her mouth, the baby couldn't come now, it was supposed to happen like this... Acting on a sudden idea Aimee shut her eyes tight and held her breath, every muscle in her body aching to push, but she wasn't going to, she wasn't going to let the baby come out now. If she didn't push it wouldn't happen.

Kieran looked from Aimee to Anahita, from Anahita to Aimee, and swallowed again, trying to do half of what Anahita had told him and calm down - but the last thing he wanted to do was leave Aimee like this. Sitting down next to her, instead of crouching, he gently took hold of one of Aimee's hands, interlocking their fingers, and placed his other on top. She was holding her breath... and slowly starting to turn pink in the face from the effort. "N-no... Aimee... Aimee, darlin', don't - don't hold your breath," he stammered, "that can't be good for you, sweetheart... just - just try and breathe deeply." He gave her hand a squeeze. "L-look... breathe with me - in," he took a deep breath, "...and out." Repeating this a few more times, he felt himself beginning to feel calmer, more collected. "...Hey, that does work..." He looked over at Aimee to see if the same could be said for her. "It's gonna be okay," he said reassuringly, giving her a determined look. She was going to be okay, or someone would suffer the consequences.

"Amiee, I don't think in the middle of the street is a good place. Please, let's get you somewhere else." Anahita said, and looked over at Kieran, giving him a look that said to help her. That child would not be birthed in the middle of public.

Aimee shook her head to Kieran's voice, but finally had to open her eyes and breathe. "I don't want it here," she said tears prickling in her eyes, "It's not ment to happen now," she squeezed Kieran's hand as though he'd some how be able to stop it, ut then she was hit by another contraction and she gripped his hand hard, digging her nails in sharply. She then looked over at Anahita, knowing her friend was right but she murmured, "I can't get up... "

Kieran winced slightly, but he had been expecting her to grip his hand like that sooner or later. "Aimee, shh..." he said gently, nodding in response to the look that Anahita had given him. "I know," he continued, "but you have to be brave, now, and - and take things as they come... you already cope so well with Fred... you can deal with this..." With the had he had previously had on top of Aimee's hand, he gently brushed a few strands of her hair out of her face. "I promise I'll help you in any way I can." Then he looked up at Anahita. "Maybe we could... I dunno... we might be able to apparate to St Mungo's?" he suggested hopefully.

By then Anahita had wanted her jealous streak to show so bad, but she couldn't. Amiee was her best friend, this was a happy day. Even thouh the baby was going to be born into a world of fights and cruelty. Anahita took out her wand and with one little flick the three appeared in the emergency area of St. Mungo's Hospital. "Kieran go get a wheel chair and a nurse.." Anahita said, and looked at Amiee. "Okay Amiee, let's see if I can get you to your feet. Okay?"

Aimee glanced at Kieran, after they'd apparated she was still clasping his hand tightly, she didn't want to let go. She was scared of what was going to happen next, scared of what the baby was being brought into, scared that Fred would turn up any minute, scared the nurses would see a certain mark on her left wrist...
When Anahita suggested Kieran go get a wheel chair she shook her head, looking up at Kieran, "Please.... please don't leave me," she said, using her connection to him as a lifeline. Hit by another contraction she moaned.

Reluctant to let go of Aimee's hand anyway, when she voiced the fact that she didn't want him to go, Kieran shook his head in reply to what Anahita had told him to do. "I... I can't," he said. "I can't leave her, Ana." He looked down at Aimee as she moaned, and gave her hand another gentle squeeze. "It's okay, Aimee..."

"Fine. Then I'll go get the bloody wheel chair before either the baby comes or Amiee kills herself from trying to keep the baby from coming." Anahita said, her voice just a tad bit shakey. Anahita got to her feet, leaving the two as she went to find someone that would give her a wheel chair. "I need a wheel chair, somebody! My friend's having a bloody baby!" When no one answered her, Anahita reached over a counter, and took hold of a guy's shirt by the collar. "Listen buddy, you're stressin' me out! Get me a bloody wheel chair! So help me god!" The guy nodded, his whole body trembling in fear. Anahita let him go and he ran off to get a wheel chair. Soon enough, he came back with one, and walked over to Amiee and Kieran. Anahita followed, putting her hair up in a bun at the same time.
