notsocommon: ([Baby] Sleeping)
Thanksgiving was not a holiday that Helen really celebrated outside of food and drink with close friends and this year, she'd been with just Will when the labor pains had started up in earnest. She'd ignored them for a while, considering it was common enough this late in pregnancy to have some false labor but when the pain seemed to get sharp and real and the contractions worryingly close, she and Will made the trek to the clinic and luckily found Dr. McCoy, who was happy enough to deliver a baby (for a given description of happy, anyway).

It was only after the hard part was done (and they'd both slept a handful of hours, to boot) that she felt comfortable enough sending Will out to tell everyone the baby had come and felt up to entertaining company.

[[OOC: This is timed anywhere from morning to afternoon on November 23rd in the clinic.]]

notsocommon: (robe; veritas)
Helen prided herself on keeping strict hours in spite of the fact that she lived on a deserted tropical island and it pained her to know she was going to be late, horrifically so, on her own birthday. It really set a bad precedent and she was lucky in that Sam and Coraline knew her well enough to let it slide but John didn't know her very well at all and she hated to set a bad example.

He was seated in the front when she came in and she gave him an awkward little smile. "Terribly sorry, John, I let time get away from me this morning. We don't have any pressing patients, do we?"
