AndrAIa wakes in the middle of the night, something she's become accustomed to more and more as the alpha grows inside of her. Tonight, though, there's no full-feeling bladder and for a moment, she lies there, trying to figure out what woke her until a sharp pain causes her to almost cry out. As soon as it passes, the Game sprite reaches over to nudge her husband awake.

"Matrix?"

Matrix just grumbles a little in his sleep and turns over. AndrAIa doesn't stop nudging him, though.

"Lover, please get up."

"Whatzit?"

"Enzo, I...think the baby's coming."

Before she even finishes the sentence, Matrix is out of bed and on his feet, rushing around the apartment and gathering things to take with them to the hospital, and he very nearly makes it out the door without her before she calls him back.

Matrix most likely breaks several traffic laws getting her to the hospital, but miraculously, they make it there in one piece and the look on the nurse's faces is priceless as he kicks open the doors and roars for assistance.

The rest of the night is long, emotional, painful, but by the morning, Matrix is nursing a bruised hand, AndrAIa is exhausted, and both are deliriously happy.

The Matrix family has grown by one.
