Walks of Life

“Sidney, thank God you aren’t running late tonight.”

“Amanda, what are you doing up this late?” she asked.

Work had been busy and the letter from Rod had been flushed from her mind like the result of gas station sushi eaten for dinner. The last thing she expected was to come home and find Amanda up past midnight pacing around the house, wearing a hole in the floor.

“Kayla’s water broke about thirty minutes ago. They are flying to Plymouth now.”

“Why didn’t you call me?”

“Because I just got the call ten minutes ago myself. Kayla called while Hunter was driving them to get on Egan’s chopper. I could hear Hunter cursing in the background that he knew they should have just left the island this week and waited the birth out like he planned and not be stuck here.”

Sidney smiled at Amanda’s grin. “Hunter is always so calm. How was Kayla?”

“She was trying to relax him, saying they had plenty of time. Hunter wanted Egan to land the chopper on the roof of the Retreat, but by the time Egan drove to the office and flew to the Retreat, Hunter could just meet him. She thought she just had gas pains earlier in the day but realized they might have been contractions. They were still pretty far apart.”

“She would have been fine on the island if she had to give birth,” Sidney said.

The island had a small hospital. More like an urgent care on steroids. It was there for emergencies, outpatient surgeries, tests and procedures and births for those that stayed on the island. It had several beds, but not a huge amount of wards. Many would rather go off island to give birth, but of course it wasn’t always planned and the hospital wasn’t equipped if there were any emergencies with the child or mother.

Hunter wasn’t taking any chances and knew his cousin Ava, who was Kayla’s doctor, delivered in Plymouth, not on the island. She may be in the clinic one day a week for appointments, but she didn’t go to the hospital unless there was an emergency delivery while she was here.

“And you know Hunter wants the best care possible. It’s probably a good thing that Kayla didn’t tell him about me or he might have whisked her off the island weeks ago.”

Sidney moved forward and put her hand on Amanda’s. “It’s going to be just fine and you know it. But we are stuck here until the first ferry.”

“We are. But Drew said Egan would come back and get us if we wanted to go there. I’m so tempted but really think it’s best to let Hunter’s family be there. His parents and Hailey left Boston once they got the call and are driving down.”

“I feel like Kayla is my sister and want to be there too. But why don’t we get some sleep—or try to—then I promise to be up in time for the first ferry. Do you have a lot of appointments tomorrow?”

“One in the morning, but she’s a regular and I’m going to text her and see if I can reschedule.
