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.
