herhumbleservant: (little bit worried)

By the time he hears Demelza calling for him, Ross has already shouted at two different hospital workers, demanding to know why on earth the ambulance is considered suitable for emergencies when it can't get his wife here any faster than the taxi he'd taken. Neither of them had seem particularly phased, especially not after learning he's soon to be a father, which Ross thinks he ought to take offense to because it clearly means they think he's just being hysterical.

While that may be the case, it doesn't stop him from pacing outside the doors where the ambulance is meant to arrive. He's sent a message to Abby to tell her the baby is coming and after receiving a text with an excessive number of exclamation points, Ross had asked her to kindly bring Julia to the hospital along with a bag for Demelza.

When he finally spots his wife, Ross feels as though an enormous weight has been lifted from her shoulders. She looks like she's been cared for well enough by those accompanying her, and he rushes to her side to grasp her hand. "You're alright," he says, flashing her a brief smile before his brow creases with concern. "You are alright, aren't you?"

"She's doing great," a woman walking alongside them says, and Ross glances up at her with uncertainty. "Your wife's vitals are all stable and there weren't any complications on the way. The doctors will be able to tell you more once they see her but for right now, it's safe to say that the only thing you really need to worry about is how long it'll be before you meet your baby."

"Thank you," Ross says, nearly breathless with relief, and he smiles back down at Demelza, reassured. "Let us both hope it won't be too long."
