Violent violet and bubblegum pink

And he's already watching his... watch.

"About three minutes, give or take ten seconds."

He's breathing in time with his wife, entirely unconsciously. "Less than a minute in duration still though."

From:

"That's good. Good." She nods, her eyes closed. "Right where we're supposed to be, I think."

"Mm-hmm. You're right on schedule."

From:

Bernard smiles slightly and kisses her cheek.

"Do you need more water?"

From:

"Just a little." She's slightly out of breath, but smiling a bit. "Don't wanna make myself sick."

From:

There's a pitcher of water on the nightstand, and a stack of small plastic cups. It's anybody's guess whether they were there a moment ago.

Simon's already pouring one half-full. He hands it to Tonks with a nod. "Slowly. Small sips."

From:

Bernard rubs her back as she drinks, murmuring quiet encouragement in her ear.

From:

She hands Bernard the cup and leans back against the pillows, resting while she can. "Anyone for Scrabble? We're gonna be here a while."

From:

Bernard looks to Simon.

"Ever play Exploding Snap?"

From:

...SOMEONE really LIKES that game, you know...

From:

...Is that a little blonde someone peeking around the door?

"Hey, sweetheart."

'Dora holds out a hand, smiling tiredly at her daughter.

From:

It is! Dressed in Full Doctor Gear.

"Will take ovew," she informs Simon snootily. "No good 'nuff fo' Dora, say sowwy."

And then she rushes over and takes her mum's hand.

"Hi!"

There's another head poking around the door, too. Not blonde.

River's watching the proceedings with interest.

From:

"Queen Wivew!" Sunny beams. "Come! Assist wif pwoceedin's!"

From:

river_meimei

River's gaze flicks to Simon.

"Be nice," she tells Sunny, torn between irritation at the insult to him and smiling back because, well, Sunny is Sunny.

"Brilliant doctor. You can be the assistant surgeon."

From:

She considers this.

"Haf good cwedentials? Many biwfs undew belt? No pwoblems wif medical boawd?"

It is worth noting that Sunny things a medical board is something you nail to the wall.

From:

"Sunshine," she starts to chide, and then holds up a finger.

Contractions are so much fun.

From:

"No want you huwt!" she protests, then watches her with BIG eyes.

"He no' make you bettew! Sunny bettew doctow! O' get angel! O' demo'!" Cling. "No want Dora huwt."

From:

Bernard is torn between his watch, his wife, and his daughter.

Eventually, he picks Sunny up, leaving one hand free to clutch 'Dora's hand tightly.

"Shhhhh, munchkin. It'll be over in a second. 'Dora's belly is just getting ready, and it doesn't feel the nicest."

From:

river_meimei

River is now watching Tonks's belly closely.

Head a little tilted.

"We have experience," she remembers to assure Sunny, belatedly.
