“Jewls is in the ER! She’s… she’s… It’s time!” I shout hysterically. “Get Major to the hospital.”
There’s a low chuckle followed by mumbling. “We’re at the hospital and Jewls is good.”
“You’re there?”
“Yeah, babe. Where else would we be?”
“Why didn’t you call me?”
“We kinda had our hands full when we got the call.”
I picture Major losing his mind when faced with the news his wife was being rushed to the hospital.
“Is Major okay?”
“He is now. Ace called Tom to handle Jay.”
“I should have stayed with her tonight. She shouldn’t have been alone. Did we pack her bag? What about the nursery? Is it together? The bassinets arrived today. They aren’t assembled yet.” Harley’s rant grows louder with each word, her hands flying wildly through the air.
“Tell her we’ll get the fucking bassinets assembled,” Ace calls through the line.
“Why do you have me on speakerphone?”
“Because it’s entertaining.”
“Entertaining? We are distraught with worry!”
“No reason to be. Collin knows what to do.”
I glance at Collin, who is viewing Harley with hilarity.
“I can drive. I’ve only had one drink.”
“Rowan, do what Collin says. See you soon.”
The line goes dead and I groan in frustration. “He hung up on me.”
“Was that Ford? Do they have Major? Is he with Jewls? What if she’s in pain and all alone?”
“They are at the hospital. Jewls is good.”
Harley’s already splotchy face goes redder. “Achilles is at the hospital and didn’t call me?!?”
“Woman, get your shit together. He called me. The Brit here is your ride to the hospital. You two go, I’ll handle the bar.” Tom motions between Shayla and Harley.
“His name is Collin,” Shayla corrects him.
“Let’s see if he sticks before I remember his name.”
“Oh my God. Oh my God… I have to call my parents. What about Margo and Gil? Huey, Duey, and Louie? Janice, Ronnie, and Bea… Do they know?” Harley’s back at it.
Shayla grabs her forearms and shakes her crazily. “Calm your tits! Major won’t let you anywhere near Jewls if you’re a crazed lunatic.”
Harley snaps out of it, looking around as if she’s been in a trance and the air is clearing. “You’re right. Jewls needs me. We have to get to her.”
“Your chariot awaits.” Collin dangles his keys. “There’s plenty of room for all.”
That’s all it takes to shift her into motion. Harley and Shayla grab their bags, hustling around the bar.
