She smiled and nodded at her trying to stay awake. "Nice to meet you Becky." She said softly as her eyes fluttered a little bit. She had seen her around the Ministry but she had never spoken to her. "Well its a shame that we had to meet under these circumstances." She told her weakly.

She nodded. She trusted them with her life, and it seemed she wasn't going anywhere till these babies were born, which was just fine with her. She felt the pain rolling up her back again and she grabbed her stomach. "OW!" It was another contraction.

She looked at the man as he asked if he would do. At this point she didn't care who was in the room as long as they were good at pain and healing charms. Now she really wanted Nathan. This was scary and she needed her husband with her.

her forehead was damp with sweat and she felt really icky and unattractive right now, but the pain was started to creep back up on her and she didn't care. "Its alright," She breathed as she felt herself going into labor.

OOC: I am not sure its SS appropriate to RP a woman giving birth...

Rebecca smiled "Don't worry, it happens to the best of people" she reassured her, glancing at Samantha, Rebecca moved a little to make herself more comfortable, while holding Egypt's hand

OOC: I don't think it is either...

OOC: We're going to try and move Egypt out right now. Yay! Please play along with me, guys!

Samantha checked Egypt's heartbeat and determined that it was safe to get her to St. Mungo's, that was probably the safest thing to do at this point in time. It was the best chance for her and her babies to get the care they deserved, not here in the office and not at some muggle hospital. "Okay, you seem stable enough for the moment, and we're going to get you over to the hospital right now," she said softly. "Is one of you ready to side apparate with me? We need to get Egypt to St. Mungo's now, and we need to do it without any room for error. Who feels qualified to help me with this?" She looked at Rebecca and Liam. "Let's do it now while we have the chance, so that Egypt can get the proper care which she deserves."

She nodded at Samantha as she agreed it was time to move her. That was the best thing that could have happened. She didn't want to risk anything having her babies in the office. Even though Samantha was a whiz at pain charms. "Yes I think that would be best." She said as the sweat rolled down her forehead. She pulled herself up slowly to a sitting position. "I might need help to stand," She panted.

Rebecca nodded "I will" she nodded "I can help, lets go" she said determinedly

Rebecca smiled "It's ok" Rebecca wiped her forehead "C'mon then" Rebecca grabbed her arm.

"Okay, thank you, Rebecca," Samantha said. "We need to be very careful lifting her," she said. "Let me get an arm behind her back to balance her, then you take her upper arm like this, and we lift. On the count of three - 1 - 2 - 3!" Samantha steadied her balance and began to gently pull Egypt to her feet.

Rebecca nodded "Sure" Rebecca nodded and pulled gently "Ok?" she asked Egypt concernedly/

She nodded and held her breathe as they pulled her off the floor. She winced in pain but was otherwise alright. She felt like she weighted a ton at the effort everyone had to put into lift her. "Thank you," she said a little wobbly on her feet. "Well now that we have the good year blimp up and running lets get this parade going," She smiled trying to keep the mood light even though inside she was scared as a long tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs

Samantha laughed, Egypt was still keeping her sense of humor up, which was excellent. "Everything is going to be fine," she assured her again. "Are the two of you ready?" She pulled her wand out. "Whatever you do, Rebecca, keep your arm around Egypt. All right, then, let's go." She kept her arm around Egypt as she flicked her wand, the motion that would apparate the three of them to St. Mungo's. Her plan was to leave Rebecca there to watch for Egypt for a little while, then come back here and meet with Ben. Liam could alert Nathan that Egypt was at St. Mungo's, it was the best place for her, and meet Egypt over there later.

She nodded at Samantha. "Thank you," She told her as she held on fast to her and Rebecca. "Yes I'm all ready to go." she told her as she took a deep breath.

Samantha waved her wand and the three of them disappeared from the room, on their way to St. Mungo's.

In what seemed like moments later she appeared back in her office. Everything had been taken care of at the hospital, and she was confident that Egypt would be well cared for and was in the best hands. She made a note to visit her and the babies as soon as she had a chance, but for now she had campaign planning to do with Ben on Reagan's behalf. Going to her desk she drew out a stack of parchment and a new quill and ink, ready to take notes once Ben arrived.

Ben had been trying to find help for Egypt when he heard down the grapevine that she had already been escorted to St. Mungos. Glad that the little catastrophe was over with, he knocked on Samantha's office door, waiting for her to answer so they could start planning Reagan's campaign. Now that Egypt's baby emergency was behind them, he was uber excited to start planning. He had a million and one ideas to help her win this campaign over that slimeball Cooper. WOOT!

Samantha heard the knock on the door and got up to answer it, hoping that it would be Ben this time. As she opened the door and saw him standing on the other side, she held the door open and said, "Excellent! I believe all the excitement has finally died down and we can start planning out Reagan's campaign. Please come in and take a seat, would you like any tea or anything?" She smiled, she looked forward to hearing Ben's ideas and sharing ideas of her own. There was no way Cooper was going to win another term! As she looked at Ben's face, she saw the same determination to help Reagan win reflected in his eyes - excellent!

Ben grinned as Samantha welcomed him to her office, and then offered him a cup of tea as well. Tea was his favorite drink! "Sure, I'll have a cup of tea if that's alright," he said as he sat down across from her desk. "So, I suppose we just need to get to planning--did you have any ideas?" he asked. To be honest, he truly didn't know where to start with this campaign, there was just so much to plan!

"Great, a cup of tea coming right up!", Samantha smiled, setting out her tea service along with an assortment of scones and crumpets. "Feel free to help yourself. And yes, ideas for Reagan's campaign. We certainly need to get busy on that, time is running out. I think the first thing we need to focus on is getting the word out to as many people as possible about Reagan running, and then getting people involved in working on her campaign to ensure that she does get elected. We need as many good, reliable people as possible to be involved with us, for a good number of reasons, so publicity becomes a very key focus."

Samantha paused. "Any thoughts? Oh, and feel free to interrupt me at any point! I don't want to ramble."

"Oh, don't worry about rambling," Ben said with a grin as he took a cup of tea. "I tend to get pretty wordy myself! Anyways back to planning--yes, I do agree we need to get the word out as soon as possible. And, as you said, we're going to need people to assist us...I mean, we can't run this whole campaign by ourselves!" he added with a chuckle. "I think that's the first step. We can't really do anything else unless we have a team behind us. We can put up some flyers in Diagon Alley too, alerting all the people who don't work at the Ministry about what's going on down here," he suggested.

"What are your thoughts on that?" he asked.

"Yes, I really like that idea," Samantha said. "I think the Cafeteria here at the Ministry and the Employment Office would be good places, of course, but Diagon Alley would be even better, as more people come through there. And I thought of something else, too. Won't older students at Hogwarts be allowed to vote in this election? We might possibly want to place a flier at Hogwarts, as well, perhaps on the bulletin boards for each house." She smiled. She wanted to get the word out to as many people as possible, and she knew that Ben did, as well.

Ben tapped his chin in thought and then nodded. "Yes, I completely forgot about the older students! Good idea...we'll have to send out a memo to the Heads of Houses immediately--their vote counts too!" he added with a grin.

"Oh! I should probably be taking notes," he mumbled, reaching into his robes and pulling out his wand. With a click flick of his wrist, a piece of parchment appeared in mid-air, and Ben always carried a Self-Inking quill around in his pocket--just in case. He jotted down what they had just come up with, taking care to make his handwriting as neat as possible. He didn't want the Education head to see how horrible his handwriting was at times.

Samantha smiled, she was taking notes of the meeting, as well. After all, she was in charge of speech writing for Reagan, and hopefully some ideas would result from this meeting which could be incorporated into her speeches. She knew that Ben needed ideas, too, especially since he was managing Reagan's campaign and had far more work to do than she did.

Samantha thought for a moment, then said, "We also need all sorts of publicity materials, of course, as these things will help us get the word out. And people to distribute those materials. They can be in campaign headquarters, of course, but perhaps there could be some people who randomly give these things out? I mean, buttons, posters, and such. Then we need a platform, a slogan, so to speak. We need to show her in a positive light, as a clear alternative to what we've had with the Minister. A ray of light, a positive change, something along those lines. But, perhaps you might be better at this sort of thing than I am."

Ben dropped his quill in surprise. "Oh, you just reminded me of something! We need to find some place for our headquarters!" he practically exclaimed. He hadn't thought about that at all until she mentioned, but now that he remembered it he realized just how important it was for them to have a safe meeting place. "I wouldn't think it wise to have it in the Ministry here--Cooper could too easily try and corrupt the campaign. I'd volunteer my house but it's just too small and a tad out of the way," he added, completely absorbed in his thought now.

"What about making it some place in Diagon Alley?", Samantha asked. "That would be the perfect place for people both from the Ministry and from Hogwarts, as well. I think that having it there would work very nicely, and it would be a place where people could combine business with pleasure. That's always a good combination."

Miley walked down the hallway until she came up to Samatha's door. It been FOREVER since she talk to Samatha and she really want to thank her for letting her get he job back.Ireland was fun and all,but she missed the Ministry and all her friends.Miley finally knocked on the door, after standing in front of i for a few minutes. She stepped back a few steps and started tapped her foot on the ground as she waited for someone to answer.

Samantha told Ben. "Excuse me for just a moment, I'll be right back," she said softly, and went to answer the door. "Miley! Welcome back!", she said. "Are you here to visit or are you going to be working with us here in the department again?"

Miley looked back at the dor when it swung open. "Samantha! Ive missed you sooo much,"she said with a smile. "I'm coming back to work here.I've missed this place." She noticed a guy inside her office and she looked back at Samantha. "Should I come back later?"

"Welcome back!", Samantha said. "Yes, we were just discussing something that is very important, something you will undoubtedly find out about later, but for right now we have many plans to make. I tell you what. Either come back and visit with me in a bit, when this meeting is done, or I will come over and visit you. Either way would work fine!" Samantha did want to catch up with Miley as well as visit the other employees, and she was really happy and thrilled to have her back. She was always a good employee.
