Tobi

It might be Tobi's first time giving birth, but only the physical sensations are new to her. There's plenty of time between her early contractions to get her go-bag and make her way to the clinic. Given that her apartment is only a few steps away, this she can do with ease. Even so, she utters a few silent prayers to Rae that Finn might hurry. Tobi has never been one to rely on others, but she finds herself longing for Finn now despite how little he can do. If that was unfair, best not to mention it to her just now.

Promptly put into a wheelchair and wheeled to her own private room, Tobi's contractions are monitored regularly. Breezing through labour faster than expected, October finds herself with her contractions only moments apart, fully dilated, with no Finn or crown-carrying-demi-goddess insight.

"Doctor Hart, it's nearly time to start pushing." One of the nurses reminds her. Through gritted teeth, Tobi considers shaking her head and demanding that life be put on hold until either Finn or Phoebe arrive. But she isn't that sentimental nor idealistic, so instead, she exhales her agreement before screaming through another contraction.

Phoebe
Call the Midwife
"You will let me through this instant! I am her midwife! Now move!"

Phoebe was generally not a shouter. Emphasis on 'generally'. Her soft voice was off key, unused to the strain of the volume. But there was no denying that the Nightingale would get through, come hell or high water.

The echoing sentiments of Pim likely helped.

The dainty blonde tumbled in, tousled bun more flyway than updo, medical bag in one hand and honeysuckle crown in the other. Behind her, the snarls of her pink companion kept the vanguard of rule abiding nurses at bay. And of Frey's rose gold trio, it was Branbast of course who trotted in fully composed, hopping up upon the bed to purr at her side. "You missed your appointment Rae-ling."

"I'm here, I'm here!" Phoebe breathed, dropping her bag as she rushed to her side.

"Miss! This is delivery room, you can't just -" an attending nurse started. But Phoebe was having none of it. "Miss Hart is my patient and it is your oversight in calling me that made me late! Now out! No colleagues allowed in this room!" she said firmly, voice level and calm. If they insisted on arguing there was a dragon happy to chase them out so his bonded could concentrate.

Skilled hands danced over Tobi's frame as she performed a quick assessment. The midwife smiled warmly, a slight nod of her chin. "Alright, definitely overdue for this." she said, placing the crown upon her head.

FINN
"Uh... Am... Am I supposed to stay...?"

Finn has found Phoebe (if you hadn't guessed), though it has taken a lot longer than anticipated. He now finds himself out of his depth with a lot of screaming women, one of them being Tobi, the Spyglass lingering in the doorway so that he doesn't get in the way of midwife or the nurses or the dragon or the talking cat.

Visibly flushed and worrying at a thread on one of his sleeves, he only manages a fleeting glance at Tobi as if wondering what he's meant to say or do at this point in time. Finn isn't a stranger to the world and how it works, but he is never quite this close to things like this. And now? Well, now he's about to become a father. Imminently, in fact.

Tobi

Tobi did everything she could to breathe through the contractions, but as they began to come on stronger and more frequently, it was all she could do not to dissolve into screams and shivers of pain. The world blurred around her during those moments as she forced herself to bear down on a single point of focus. She didn't notice Phoebe come in, didn't notice Branbast's soft presence on the bed or the words mewled from his lips.

Finn's voice however swept through the pain, forcing her eyelids open to spy him lingering in the doorway. Flooded with sudden panic, one of Tobi's hands shoots towards him. "Finn! Finn, Finn, Finn...Finn..." Never quite sure if she's managed to say his name through the rollercoaster of pressure that she very much wants to stop riding, she continues to try.

Right up until Phoebe places the crown on her head. At that moment, everything dissolves into a summer mist of honeysuckle and pleasure. Tobi's previously tensed lips relax, as does her entire body, and for the first time she's able to let her eyes flutter open to properly take in her surroundings. "Please, I want Finn to stay."

FINN
Tobi is terrifying in that moment, and even though he's asked out loud whether he ought to be staying, in reality his feet are already trying to take him out of the room. But Finn is not one to deny the doctor, not when she stretches her hand out for him, and luckily enough by the time he crosses the room to sit beside her, the honeysuckle crown has been draped over her head, and she turns into a completely different person.

"I am here," he murmurs, his hand slipping into hers, his fingers cool and dry compared to Tobi's flushed appearance. "I am staying. How are you feeling now?" he asks, and the way his brows are drawn together suggests that he's not entirely sure that he's made a wise decision here.

Tobi

"..mmmmm...finn....." Tobi murmurs lazily as her eyes roll back into her head and her lashes flutter like butterfly wings. "...really really—" Hissing in a breath, this one is encouraged by pleasure rather pain. It's strange how similar an expression Tobi makes just the same: her cheeks flush, her lips part in a silent cry, and she grips Finn's hand as her back arches off the bed. "—finn!" She moans in a tone reminiscent of an afternoon tangled up on her carpet. Distantly she hears Phoebe telling her to push, and though her brain wants to shy away from the pain that should be coming, her body rushes to obey the midwife's command.

Wave upon wave of sensation grips the doctor, making the arches of her feet tingle and her fingertips itch. The pleasure is nearly overwhelming and were it not for someone reminding her to breathe, she might have passed out so delirious she'd become. But at least it didn't hurt.

'I'm—gods, I'm going to—" It feels like an orgasm, but much stronger. The pressure between her legs has Tobi wanting to press her thighs together but also to stretch her knees apart as far as they'll go. '—I—" Flushed, panting, and sweating, Tobi's toes curl as she mentally grasps and claws her way to the summit of the sensations that separate her from her baby. Tobi orgasms at the moment her son is born, and as he's pulled wailing and squirming, she collapses back on the bed, breathless.

Oh. Oh. It's too late for Finn to back out now, but honestly, he isn't sure whether or not he preferred Tobi when she was in pain. He doesn't mean it like that of course, but to see her on the verge of orgasm with the rest of her medical clinic and colleagues in easy hearing range, she's not the only one flushing. Finn's cheeks and the tips of his ears are pink, and while she isn't exactly crushing his hand, his knuckles are still white where he grips her.

And it gets worse before it gets better, his stormy eyes widening as Tobi throws her head back, and were it not for the sudden wailing of a baby Finn might have called someone for assistance (he isn't to know she's in the throes of an orgasm, after all). But their son is drawing his first breath, an even for someone like the Spyglass, that is everything.

"Tobi." He doesn't know whether he's whispering or shouting, craning to try and see as the boy is cleaned and checked and inspected. "Tobi, look."

Tobi

Tobi's pulse is loud in her ears, and as her blood begins to flow back to places it properly belongs, awareness of her surroundings and the moment are once again able to take hold. Looking around dazedly at first but with growing comprehension, Tobi struggles to sit up slightly but finds that, despite how pleasant the experience had been, her hips and legs utterly refuse to be called upon just now.

"Finn." She whispers his name, squeaking it out as if there was a bubble caught in the back of her throat. Releasing him, Tobi stretches her fingers out to where one of the nurses has wrapped their baby in a cream cloth. "Please. Please let me hold him." They don't deny her of course, placing the boy into her arms.

Cradling him close, Tobi smoothes away one of his balled-up fists from his eyes. "Look how much hair he has." She whispers awe-struck, her heart fit to burst and her body exhausted. Cracking open his eyes, their son's gaze is a typical dark-blue that most children seem to start out with. It's a perfect mirror of Finn's, and for a moment the boy looks up at his father as if able to see right through him. Promptly though, he yawns, scrunched his face, and turns back against Tobi.

FINN
Finn will be forgiven, he hopes, for his attention being stolen by the tiny squalling baby - he is concerned about Tobi, of course he is, but he's unable to look away from their child as he's bundled up and handed across to the doctor. Shifting to sit a bit closer, Finn peers over at the boy, a small smile curling across his face that's filled with awe and disbelief. "He isn't crying any more," he remarks, as if thinking that Tobi must have some sort of magic touch to have achieved such a thing.

"What is he called...?" It's the first thing he thinks to ask, assuming that Tobi would have something in mind. They certainly haven't spoken about it - or maybe they had, when he was sick. Maybe they'd both decided on it, and he simply couldn't remember the conversation. It wouldn't surprise Finn.

Tobi

'He's probably exhausted.' Tobi agrees with a smile, letting her fingers roam through his dark hair that's already threatening to curl at the edges. Breathing deeply, Tobi unconsciously begins to memorize his smell as her eyes pour over his chubby cheeks and small pink lips.

"mmm?" Glancing up at Finn as if he were speaking another language or asking her about something entirely unrelated, it takes Tobi a moment to understand what he's saying. "Oh. Oh right." She hadn't thought of a name. Between taking care of Finn and trying to endure the last few weeks of her pregnancy, naming their son hadn't at all been on her list of things to prepare.

Biting her lip and gazing down at their son as if having failed him already, Tobi instantly brightens as she gazes almost shyly up at Finn. "When you were sick..I read to you about mountains in another world. There was one called Everest, that was the tallest. Do you remember?" He'd made fun of her for posing a Finn-like question about the importance of things being tall. "On that world, it was a great accomplishment to reach the top. It was hard work, and something only few accomplished.." Perhaps it was Tobi's upbringing that made her find Outlander words and places so fantastical, but she couldn't deny that the thought of an alien peak, summited by only those who truly wanted it badly enough, was inspiring.

"What do you think of...Everest?"

Finn, for one, can empathise with their son in that respect - and with Tobi, he imagines. His eyes flick between mother and baby, though he doesn't dare reach out to touch either of them. They deserve this, together in this moment without any interruptions, not even from him. He, of course, misses the nuances of her disappointment, but when she begins to tell the story of the mountain, something in him lights up. Because Finn does remember, even if he can't really recall the details.

"Mm... Everest," he repeats, a smile curling across his lips. Now he's looking down at the boy, peaceful and relaxed in his mother's arms, and he nods his head. "I like it," he says. "So as long as he likes it as well, I suppose it's decided. Everest it is." Sitting back a bit, Finn ruffles his fingers through his hair. "You did it, Tobi."

Tobi

"I'm so glad that part is over." Tobi admits, leaning her head back against the pillow and gazing wearily up at Finn. Though the crown of honeysuckle is still on her head, it does nothing for her now, but she's too exhausted to be bothered with removing it. At the foot of the bed one of the nurses mumbles something to another who nods. "Doctor Hart...you'll need a few stitches. You're still bleeding. Can you not...?" They frown up at her. So maybe the crown was still working. "Oh." She mumbles, looking toward Finn with a worry darkening her eyes.

"The father can wait with the baby in another room, or..." The nurses glance rather nervously at Finn.

"Uhmmm." It's an unhelpful answer. Part of Tobi wants to just shift and heal herself if only so that she could keep her son in her arms. She doesn't want Finn—or Everest—to go, but she also doesn't want to force them to remain while the nurses finish with her.

"Mm, I bet," Finn says, though it's politely said and completely without context. He had been gone for all but the end of her labour, after all, and he has no idea what that part must have been like for her, just the same as he has no idea of the bond that has just been forged between Tobi and the tiny child squirming in her arms. He glances up to hear the nurses speak, and concerns have storms brewing in Finn's eyes as well.

"Tobi, I..." If she thinks he's going to have even the slighest hope of making a decision in that moment, she's going to find him sorely lacking. Gazing between the nurses, the boy, and Tobi, he shifts uneasily and runs a hand back to front through his curls. "I can wait with him, if..." He nods again at the nurses. "Just... whatever you need. I can wait outside and let you both stay...?"

Tobi

Though Tobi does find Finn sorely lacking, she doesn't blame him for it. He's still Finn, even if he is a father now. "He...Everest hasn't been fed yet. Maybe one of the nurses can take Finn into the lounge with a bottle." The baby would drink and should be silent and easy to hold in Finn's arms, and with a nurse nearby, hopefully, Finn wouldn't panic too much about suddenly being kicked out to manage on his own.

"This won't take long." Tobi says reassuringly, forcing herself to sink into her wealth of medical knowledge and what the minor surgery that is to follow will consist of.

One of the nurse's takes Everest from Tobi's arms, and nods that Finn should follow along. He's led into a quiet nursing area with cartoon animals painted on the walls and low, pleasing lighting, where he's handed a bottle and a baby and given instruction on how to manage both. Tobi meanwhile is given a sedative, stitches, and instructions on how to care for herself that she hardly needs. The nurses beg her to stay in the hospital to be monitored, which of course she refuses.

Doctors always make the worst patients.
