"I'll wait right here." He gave Dove a thumbs up.

Dove knocked on the door and waited.

(I guess I can fill in as Caroline..)
Caroline raced to the door and yanked it open, ushering Dove inside.
“Briar’s just having some stomach pain is all. It’s nothing to worry about..” she reassured her worried friend.

Dove nodded, "You sure? Oliver's pretty worried."

“Yeah! She’ll be fine..you two can come in if you’d like?” Caroline forced her grin to stretch to its limits. She was tired beyond recognition and just wanted to collapse on a bed somewhere

Briar’s pain seemed to have subsided, as she was now resting against her pillow.
“Can I see the baby, please..” her voice was weak.

Natalie sighed and sat down again. "Okay that settles it. As soon as we can clear Briar and the baby, we're all going to my house to get some rest."

Oliver crept in the room after Dove, shielding his eyes with his hand. "Can I look?" He asked, cheeks flushed with embarrassment.

Dove smiled at Oliver, "Don't worry, we're not comparing period pad sizes or anything."

Oliver slowly took his hand away from his face. "Actually tampons are great for stemming blood in bullet wounds because they can staunch heavy blood flow." Oliver explained, trying to relate the two topics in his head. None of this made sense to him. He snuck a curious glance at the incubator before shifting his gaze to Briar. "How are you?" He asked softly.

Dove nodded, "I know that. In fact, people used them for stopping bullet wounds before they thought, hey, we can use them for periods!"

Oliver was grateful that Dove was humouring his poor attempt at breaking the ice in the room. He smiled at her quickly before calming down and taking in his surroundings a bit.

Dove grinned and then pressed her lips into a line. She shifted closer to Oliver and held onto his shoulder.

"What do I do to comfort her?" Oliver whispered to Dove, lowering his voice so only she could hear him. He felt like a fish out of water when it came to all this talk about babies.

"I don't know, I have two dads, no idea how to comfort a mother." Dove whispered back.

"At least we can be lost together then." He shrugged, trying to rid his body of nerves.

Dove nodded and looked back at Briar, "Yeah, we sure can."

(Goodnight guys!)

Oliver bit his lip, suddenly hyperaware of Dove's hand on his shoulder. Oliver focus on the situation. He averted his gaze to the incubator again.

Natalie rubbed her temples. Then she picked up her phone again. She took in a sharp breath, like she had just been slapped.

(thanks for covering for me @I.C. Fynnheart)
Caroline rubbed her aching temples. Aas Oliver and Dove were distracted, and Natalie on the phone, she slipped out of the room. She wandered through the corridors and went to her room, collapsing on her bed and asleep in seconds.

Briar just smiled at Oliver and Dove, who seemed to be “bickering” every chance they got.
“If you two really like one another, then just kiss already!”

Natalie bit her lip. Tears came to her eyes. No. Someone already died today. This can't be……………………….nononononono.

"W-What?!" Oliver blushed, the tips of his ears burned a luminous red. His hands started fidgeting anxiously and he was suddenly relieved his hair was covering his face. Though shaky. He grasped Dove's hand lightly so they were not obviously touching, but still making contact.
