After receiving an urgent call from Belinda, Tom raced to the entrance of the hospital with some nurses right behind him. Restless, he waited in anticipation of Belinda's arrival. The thought of the woman giving birth on the way bothered him, but he was quickly reassured by Leena's approaching car.
"Tom!" Leena greeted as she got out of the car. A sense of relief washed over Leena when she saw him. His appearance alone made all the difference during this stressful time.
"Leena," Tom greeted, comforting her. She appeared to be just as tense as him. "Is Belinda okay?" he asked while opening the door. Taking her hand in his, Tom carefully helped the pregnant woman get out of the car, saying, "Be careful now, Belinda."
"Thank you, Tom," acknowledged Belinda. Too weak to stand by herself at the moment, she appreciated all the help she could get. It was the first time she was experiencing labor pains, and she didn't know it would be this draining.
"How are you feeling?" Tom asked promptly. "How often are the labor contractions?" While accommodating her needs, he simultaneously signaled one of the nurses to bring the wheelchair over.
It took her a few seconds to answer, "About once every ten minutes." Just as soon as she replied, however, another contraction took over her, making her tightly grab Tom's sleeve to curb the pain.
"Relax," Tom said calmly, "Follow my instructions and take a deep breath." With his assistance, she managed to sit on the wheelchair, still hissing in pain.
"Will you be the one to deliver Belinda's baby, Tom?" asked Leena cautiously. She followed after them, fiddling with her fingers nervously.

"It's Duke," she announced to Belinda. "I guess he finally arrived!" Ever since Belinda and she were on the way to the hospital, she had been sending her brother messages to let him know of the situation. It was in hopes that he could hurry over as soon as he got off the plane and get the chance to witness his newborn child's first cry.
"Leena," came Duke's urgent voice from the other end of the line. "How's Belinda? Did she have the baby yet?" Leena couldn't help but smile at the worried tone of the father-to-be. 'He's going to make a great father, ' she thought.
