iain winked at Liliana and kissed her forehead gently. "Your secret is safe with me as always Sweetheart." She looked absolutely gorgeous today, and in the wake of all of this chaos and planning, having two minutes to sit down with her was like Heaven.

Iain went to shield away from her tickling fingers and noticed her not-so-well hidden painful face. "Babe?" He asked, instantly turning towards her, his hand on the side of her pregnant belly. "What is it? Is something wrong?" He was worried about his wife as she lay back against the sofa. "Is it the baby?"

Not even a couple minutes later she got the same pain as before. She hadn't been able to bring herself to answer Iain. She was a little worried. If this is what contractions felt like she felt like they were a little closer together then they should be at the start.

She tried to steady her breathing, but failed. "Iain," she said slowly, as calmly as she could manage. "I think we need to..." she paused as it happened again.. "go to St. Mungos NOW!" She didn't mean to yell the last word at him, but talking and concentrating at the same time was proving to be difficult.

She was trying to think of everything that they needed to do. "Where are Becca and Brain?" she almost demanded, worried that they would miss this, Iain had wanted them to be a part of this so much, and so did she, but if they didn't find them now, then they may not be. Her faced crunched up in pain again as another contraction [or what she was assuming were contractions] came not even two minutes later. Her breathing sped up as she tried to concentrate on so many things at once. She couldn't leave her department right now, why did the baby have to decide to come now? Her department needed her.

If she was thinking straight she'd want to slap herself for freaking about things that she really did not have to worry about.

Iain was worried, as his fingers tried to worry out any muscle kinks in her side. He was worried about her, especially since she didn't reply to any of her questions. That answer - the silence - told him more than he needed too know and he was instantly trying to figure out what he needed to do.

He had a draft letter written out to Becca and Brian in his head by the time Liliana was confirming that they needed to get to St. Mungo's and was instantly on his feet, finding a quill and a piece of parchment so that he could write it down.

He pulled out the pre-written note that he had written and set it on the table where he had told Becca it would be.

With that done, he pulled out the pre-packed bag of Lili's clothes for the time she was likely to be in the hospital and then moved back to sit on the sofa, saying the first thing in five minutes. "Shhh baby, we will there soon." He helped her off of the sofa, and shrinking her bag, slipped it into his pocket and then they both moved towards the entrance of their test.

Lili let him help her up and lead her out of the tent. She was walking very slowly and being very careful with every step she took. Once they got outside the tent she leaned against him for support, and tilting her face slightly she asked, "Becca and Brian?" It was not a normal question, but she knew that he would understand.

DH sensed a commotion going on in the Hunters tent so he half ran towards the tent and he is right. "Are you alright? Is everything alright here?" he asked. It seems that Mrs. Hunter is in labor.

"Can I do anything for you? Can you walk or do you need a wheelchair or a stretcher perhaps?" he asked the couple again.

Brian was there, just outside the tent of Iain and Lili, with Becca beside him, clung to his side. He could see the pain in Lili's face. "Hey guys, where you want to go, St. Mungo's or somewhere else?" Brian asked, looking back and forth at Iain and Lili. It was emergency you know, not a time to talk unnecessarily.

As they appeared, Becca caught Lili's question "We're here Lili." she reassured her with a smile. Watching Brian take charge instantly, Becca smiled and looked around. DH was there. "It's okay Mr. Smith. We've got it, thanks." Becca nodded to him kindly and then turned her gaze back to Lili "Come on.." she nudged Brian, hoping he'd do something more than just ask a question. Moving to Lili's side, Becca looked at Brian calmly. He was the one with the most expertise out of the both of them, right?

Brian noticed DH's presence only after heard Becca's words to him. Smiling at him quickly, Brian looked at both Becca and Lili. He could do something better if he knew in which stage of labour Lili was at the moment and how frequent the contractions were. Among four stages, the first two are pretty much painful and complicated. Thinking on that line, Brian returned her gaze, "Just give slight massage to her lower back, Becs," he instructed her to take a first step, "Give her something to drink, if she wants, something warm.." he was in different job now. A blissful job of helpting to bring a new life to this world.

Looking over at Iain hesitantly at what Brian told her to do, Becca bit her lip "You wanna do it?" she offered. It was his wife, his choice. Would he prefer to massage her lower back or get her a drink? Becca figured she'd be getting the drink "You want a drink Lili?" Becca offered before looking at Iain "Brian's been midwife trained." she explained with a smile. It helped to have a husband who knew these things.

DH smiled. He is a doctor-lawyer after all. But he didn't move a little even if he was instructed by Becca that they got it. "I'm sorry, Becca, but I will not go anywhere." he said in a doctor-stubborn manner.

He then heard Brian order for a massage and some warm water. "Excuse me Mr. Lee, will we bring her to St. Mungo's or will deliver the baby here?" he asked again and then when he heard that Brian if a trained midwife, he said, "Do you need some equipments? I always bring my medical kit with me everywhere I go in case of emergencies like this."

With that, DH disappeared for a moment and reappeared after a few seconds carrying a small doctor's bag. It is much different from what he usually brings at work. He opened it and handed Brian some gloves and get some stethoscope to use. He pulled his wand and flicked it and a clock appeared to the sight of the ones in there.

"Mrs. Hunter, I know it is difficult, but can you tell us if you are having contractions, ok?" he said to Mrs. Hunter calmly.

Iain didn't know the man that came up to them and offered assistance; well not past the two second conversation they had earlier so he wasn't sure how to respond properly. "It's fine, our best friends are on their way."

And just like that, Brian and Becca were in front of them, and Becca too was telling this "Mr Smith" that he wasn't needed. He gave them both a grateful smile, and produced a shocked - yet grateful smile - as it turned out that Brian knew exactly what he was doing. So, as he nodded to Becca and started to massage her lower back, he looked between the guy he didn't know and Brian.

"St Mungo's Bri. Becca, the note is on the table." He said, both important comments but very random. "Bri take her other side, we need to get her to the apparation point." Iain wasn't meaning to be nasty; after all he was a Ministry Division Head, but right now his wife took precedent and his best friends, Liliana and himself had a plan set in motion. Get the Lee's, get to the apparation point, get to the hospital. Have Becca inform Iridesca and Jacob, who in turn will tell the IMC workers while Liliana deliver's their gorgeous baby.

Brian kept watching both Lili and Becca. Reading Becca's face reactions Brian nodded his head, "Yes, DH. I just gave some interim suggestions to keep her pain in check while they're leaving to St. Mungos" he told him politely and walked over to Becca. He was right. They had to act fast. He looked at Becca and squeezing her hand softly, God..she's going tobe alone now.. "Be safe, love. I'll be back soon.." But It was not a right thing to let her alone now, the situation was not supportive at the moment. He pulled out a scribbling pad and sent a note to both Sarah his sister and Olivia one of his department head to take care of Becca untill he come back by a simple wave of his wand, in just two minutes. "Let's go Iain" he said as moved over to the other side of Lili, shoving his wand back into his back pocket.

DH then stepped aside and said to himself, Alright, a doctor is not needed here. He just watched them from the side as they rushed the Department Head in labor to St. Mungo's. So, what now? he thinks to himself. Now that Daniel is in the tent, he might as well go back and help the security with the checking.

Everything was all happening in a blur, before she even had time to concentrate on Becca and Brian coming, they were hear, and the two of them already knew what to do. "I think they're only about two minutes apart," she said to Brian, her voice still little over a whisper.

And then there was Becca, asking if she wanted something to drink, "just a little water?" she said, almost making it a question instead of an answer.

In the back of her mind she was extremely grateful for DH, but she didn't really know him. But thought it was amazing that he had doctors training, but as she was standing there, trying to concentrate on her breathing she had heard someone say something about Brian and midwifes training. She was sure that DH would not mind to much, Becca could explain it to her, she was his boss after all.

She wrapped her one arm around Iains waist, holding on tight, and felt her other side being supported by Brian. She wasn't in any stage to thank him right now, she knew, that it couldn't be easy for him to leave Becca when she was so pregnant herself, but he was doing this for them, and for that she was extremely happy, even if she wasn't really showing it right now. She lost her balance slightly as another contraction came, and even though her grip on Iain was already stong she clung to him stronger, and strengthened her hold on Brian to steady herself.

"St Mungo's" she said, a little louder now. She was ready, she thought, to welcome this baby into the world. "Lets go," she said, and just as they started to leave, another thought crossed her mind, what about Jacob and Iridesca but as soon as the thought crossed her mind Iain had an answer there already for her.

OH. The contractions were just two minutes apart. It means she was in the second stage. But he didnt say it aloud. "Okay," they waited for Becca to give her some warm water to drink and looked at Iain. He caught her arm just intime when she had gone out of balance slightly, "We need to rush, Iain" with that he took Lili's other hand around his neck and put his hand around her waist for extra safety. "I love you, Becs" was the last line before they got moved.

Olivia placed her own goblet down on the table and carefully poured one out for Isabella, handing it to her with a smile. "If you're sure, Max, Bella is right, it is hot out there today," she added, glancing at him as she picked hers back up and drained the contents of it in one go.

"Right North Field for Max, South Field for Bella," she nodded, scribbling the note down on some spare parchment. "That's fine, it leaves me with the west field, the furthest away from the stadium.Thank you guys," she laughed, jovially winking at them both. "Just a reminder that all cleaning in the campgrounds has to be done the muggle way, no magic.Don't want anyone seeing you after all.Please take a rubbish bag each, they are enchanted to hold much more than usual should it be required.And no, Isabella," she smiled, turning her head to face the woman, "no potions are needed right now, we're keeping them for the stadium."

Olivia was just about to head over and pick up three of the bags for them, and leave a note for Alyssa and Callie, when another note appeared out of thin air in front of her face. "Oh, what have we here?" she asked out loud, puzzled by the paper.Grabbing it she carefully unfolded it to read.

-Brian

"An emergency....take care of...." Oh right, yeah sure she could do that.It would mean her field wouldn't get cleaned as soon as the others, but these things couldn't be helped.Folding up the note, Olivia stuffed it into her pocket and spun round to face her workers. "Right crew I'm needed by Mr Lee right now so I'll have to do my cleaning later.Help yourselves to a rubbish bag," she smiled, gesturing to the pile of them in the corner as she made her way to the tent opening. "And could one of you please leave a note for Callie and Alyssa letting them know where we are? Thank you!" As she passed the Law Enforcement officer on her way she gave him a beaming smile. "Again, nice to meet you Mr Martimus, sorry we couldn't have talked longer.But I might not be long..all depends how the emergency goes." And with a wave to them all she was gone out the tent.

------------------------------------------

Olivia hurried along the small row of tents that had already been set up, looking for the one that contained Becca, and maybe Brian if he hadn't already gone.Luckily for her she was in the east field when she got the note otherwise it would have been a long walk and Becca would have been on her own for a while.Poking her head in each one as she went, Olivia finally came to the right one. "Becca!" she smiled, spotting the woman just inside the tent. "Have they gone? Are you alright? Brian asked me to come and be with you.If you don't mind, of course." she was slightly worried that Becca hadn't been told of her husband's plan to have Olivia assist her, and would not want her there.Smiling still, she found and empty seat and sat down.

Eyeing DH unhappily, Becca shook her head at looked at Brian, ignoring DH hereafter. Hearing Iain suddenly tell Brian to take her other side and then tell her that there was a not on the table, Becca blinked confusedly. Wait.. am I being left behind?

As soon as that thought occured to her, Brian was by her side and squeezing her hand softly. "No.. wait... Wha-" Becca stuttered at her husband, watching him and all of a sudden starting to get upset. He couldn't leave her! He'd promised they could stay together!

Looking at Lili, Becca shook her head and then looked away. She was more important right now. Going to get Lili's water and calm herself in the process, Becca bit her lip and then walked back with the water, unable to speak. Looking at Brian as he said he loved her, she nodded and then watched them leave.

Staring at the spot where Brian had just been stood, Becca shook her head again and tried to control herself. A tear rolled down her face. Brian had left her. Not even acknowledging Olivia when she'd appeared, Becca sat on the floor and kept staring at the spot where he'd been stood with tears making their way down her face silently.

He said I could stay with him, but where is he now?

"Becca?" Olivia eyed her with concern.She hadn't even appeared to notice she was there, let alone that she had spoken to her.Getting up from her seat she walked slowly over to her and crouched down, resting her hands on Becca's hands. "Becca? It's me, Olivia.Brian asked me to look after you while he was gone.Come with me," she said gently, holding onto Becca's arm with one hand and placing the other on her back. "Let's get you off the floor and onto a seat."

Looking up as someone's hands touched hers, Becca still said nothing. Brian. Gone. She knew that already. "No.. no.. get off" she refused, pulling her arm out of Olivia's grip "He left me.. " she told Olivia tearfully "He.. left.. " she repeated, getting more choked with each word. Looking down now, she attempted to take a deep breath to calm herself.

Olivia stumbled backwards slightly as Becca pulled her arm away.She had been on the balls of her feet and the tug made her lose balance.Standing up and steadying herself, Olivia looked down at Becca as she spoke.This was not a situation she had been in before, having to look after a pregnant, my-hormones-are-everywhere woman.Oh boy.

Clearing her throat Olivia desperately tried to think of something to say. "Umm, yes, Becca, I know he did.And I know you want him here and not me," she said slowly, biting her lip at the end of the sentence. "But he won't be long.You know he wouldn't leave you if it wasn't extremely important..." She took a step forward again and crouched back down.Olivia always prefered talking eye to eye. "Please get up.Being on the floor can't be good for you..."

Not saying another word, but just sniffling now, Becca heard Olivia speak. Extremely important. Yes, it was. But what did that make her then? "No.. stop.. you're not making it better" she pressed her eyes onto her arm and then took a deep breath before wiping her tears and getting up from the floor. Not saying a word, she walked out of the tent and looked around.

"Olivia. I'm going back to security check in." she told her, not asking, but telling. "Are you coming or not?" she asked in a demanding way. This was the only way she'd get through this, by being strong.

She knew she wasn't making it better, it didn't take Becca to tell her that.Good job she never applied for a position in the muggle peace corps. "Sorry," she mumbled, moving backwards so Becca could stand up, then allowing her gaze to follow the woman as she walked out the tent.Right, ok.Not what she was expecting her to do.

Olivia jumped as Becca stuck her head back in the tent and told her where she was going. "Uhh right, yes of course I'll come....Brian wouldn't be pleased if I didn't do the job he'd asked me to." she said the last part in more of a whisper, hoping that it wouldn't worsen Becca's mood even more.Taking a deep breath, Olivia walked out the tent as well.

Fixing Olivia with an intent gaze, Becca heard her say she'd come. When she heard Brian's name, Becca moved away from the tent and shook her head. "Wait." she frowned. There was a reason she'd been left. Walking back into the tent and grabbing the note, she looked at Olivia and then walked out of the tent again, placing protective charms on the tent as both of them got out.

Immediately walking off in one direction with a focus, she tried to get rid of her upset with each step. She had a plan and a mission now. Getting to the place where she knew she could apparate again, Becca looked at Olivia, nodded to her and then apparated back to security check in without a word.

The tent was up! Mark was looking forward to this.. he wasn't playing for once.. that was the only downside.. but hey! he was going to watch the match with an ex team mate and boss Liam! he was soo excited about that. Mark looked around and smiled.. he felt at home! he was glad he had come.

Liam had final put his tent up, he had put it up next to Marks, he was still in shock that they had meet after all the time they hadn't seen each other, Liam looked around the place, he couldn't believe that ages ago, or so it felt to him anyway, but it was only like 25 years ago, he was playing in his first world cup, now he was watching his first world cup since he retired from the sport.

He looked at Mark. "So Mark what do you think?" He asked, he was wondering if Mark was feeling the same way as him.
