Chapter Text
Darcy/Hunter, 23. Date Gone Wrong - rained out picnic, bank robbery, a mugging…
“Well, I can honestly say this is the one Valentine’s day I’ll never forget.” Darcy said happily, linking her arm through Lance’s as they were exiting the Italian restaurant Lance had picked out for dinner.
Hunter lowly chuckled. “Yeah, same goes for me too, luv,” he added, pulling her closer, “Just wait til we get back to the Tower. Make it truly memorable.”
The sound of a plate hitting the tile floor made them both look up. At one of the other tables, a young woman suddenly put her hand over her very pregnant belly. The look of sheer terror on her face said that this wasn’t supposed to be happening.
“Kelsey, Kelsey, baby what’s wrong!?” the young man, her husband asked her, panic and fear setting in on his otherwise handsome face.
She answered with a tiny squeak, “My water just broke.”
Darcy, without even thinking, broke free from Hunter and dashed over to Kelsey’s side. “Hey, hey, you’re gonna be okay,” she promised, grabbing one of Kelsey’s shaking hands and putting it in her own.
Kelsey’s husband was still looking for his cell phone when Hunter walked up. “Someone’s calling for help, mate. Here, let’s see about getting her more comfortable,” the two men carefully and gently laid Kelsey onto the floor, covered in tablecloths and/or jackets from other patrons.
“Who are you?” Kelsey asked through clenched teeth as contractions started to overtake her body.
“My name’s Darcy, this is my boyfriend, Lance,” Darcy explained, squeezing Kelsey’s hand in reassurance.
“Just call me Hunter, what I prefer,” he replied covering Kelsey’s lower half with a tablecloth then glanced at her husband, “What about you, mate? What’s your name?”
“Noah. Noah Fields.”
“Well, Kelsey, Noah, prepare yourselves. You’re about to become a mum and dad.”
