Brooklyn: Me too.
Keene: The babies are outnumbering us.
Zadie: Are you complaining?
Keene: Nope.

James: Any word?
Declan: Her water hasn’t broken. Things aren’t progressing very quickly.
Zadie: Is she exhausted?
Declan: She’s getting there. She’s going to have the epidural so she can rest.
Elizabeth: Thanks for the update.
Brooklyn: What’s happening?
Declan: Twenty-Four hours in. No baby. They are breaking her water soon.
Keene: Twenty-Four hours. That’s rough.
Zadie: Hang in there, Maggie.
Declan: Pitocin started. Her water’s broken. She’s not progressing very quickly. I’m worried she’s going to end up having an emergency c-section.
Elizabeth: Have you told her this?
Declan: Hell no. I’m staying positive. Doctor hasn’t brought it up yet but she’s getting really weak.
Zadie: Sending all our good thoughts her way. I know she’s in good hands.
Declan: The hospital staff has been amazing.
Declan: 48 hours later and she’s finally pushing.
Brooklyn: She’s got to be exhausted.
Declan: She’s hanging in there. I’m so proud of her.
Olivia: Home stretch, Maggie. You’ve got this.
Declan: He’s here. He’s healthy. She’s healthy. We’re exhausted.
James: Congratulations! Glad everyone is healthy and well.
Elizabeth: Can’t wait to meet him.
Brooklyn: Give Maggie our love. She’s a real rock star.
Zadie: No joke. Labor for over two days. Give that woman a medal or something.
Eli: Welcome to the family, Ian.
