"Maybe Gin Rummy is the better game for people on baby brain? Honestly Cissa, I know you're in labor and all but this is the fourth glass of wine you owe me once we finally get that baby out of you."
She pressed her hand of cards, full house, down onto the mattress by the blond's arm where it was hooked up to all sorts of beeping monitors. It had been an hour since any doctor or nurse had come in to say anything or check on her friend and Emmeline was about to go out into the hall to flag someone down herself, but she couldn't leave the woman in the bed. Not when the options were to leave Cissa to start stressing on her own again or give up more glasses of some expensive wine. She wasn't going anywhere until she met the newest edition to the Malfoy family. She could count it as a professional call if she needed to anyway. It wasn't every day royal blood was born into the world. She took the deck of cards back into her palms and started shuffling again.
"Besides, I need to start claiming my spot as best god-auntie. Do you think the baby will like teddybears?"
