Taming A Billionaire

The third point of view:

"The baby is coming?"

Everyone had a hard time recovering from that shock and when they finally, understood their next course of action.

"We have to take her to the hospital!" Reina announced, but then fate always seemed to have its own plans.

Cecil suddenly screamed in pain, bending over and clutching her stomach in pain. 

"What's going on?" Emily was suddenly afraid, giving birth to Akim had not been a sweet princess for her. What if something is wrong and Cecil dies or..... Emily didn't want to think of that situation. 

"I think it's the contraction!" Camille noticed.

"We have to go to the hospital now!" Reina issued and came to Cecil's side intending to help her walk but the woman froze instead. 

Cecil grabbed Reina on the shoulder, her fingers digging into her skin and causing her pain, not that Reina noticed due to the adrenaline pumping through her veins. Thanks to their drama, everyone present in the restaurant had their eyes on them and was astounded by what's happening. 

"What is it, Cecil?" Reina asked, knowing she wanted her attention. 

Cecil announced with horror, " I think the baby's coming quickly and I won't make it to the hospital," she didn't even dare move. 

"Oh no," Color drained from Emily's face. 

"God!" Cecil released another moan when another contraction hit her. 

"Oh, yes, I think she's right. The contraction is becoming strong, long, and frequent. The baby wants out," 

"What are we going to do?" Lisa pressed the back of her hand to her forehead. She was the most dramatic of them all in this confusion, her acting skills exhibiting unconsciously. 

Everyone was confused and overwhelmed until Reina stepped. And as the leader she was, she began to bark orders, "Camille, call 911. We don't know what's going to happen but we need those medical professionals en route."

Camille nodded and went on her task.

Reina turned to Emily, "Get Emerald on the phone, tell him what's going on but be sure not to get too worried," even though we're worried out of our mind. But Reina knew how tensed first-time parents, she wouldn't want one dying from anxiety or having an accident on the way.

"Lisa!" She ordered. 

"Yes," The actress stumbled forward, she was full of nerves. She had acted a few labor scenes but one acting right in front of her and not just by anyone, but her friend, Cecil, shook her to the core. 

"Get the manager out here, we need his cooperation and restaurant," 

"Yes, Reina!" She left to fulfill her own task. 

Left for her then, Reina moved to the center of the room and clapped her hands, grabbing everyone's attention. 

"Hey, listen up, any practitioner in here? We have a baby to deliver," Reina asked. However, she got an answer before a response came. 

Most of the people in here by this hour were young people who had come to catch lunch during their short break before returning to their working places. There was no doctor amongst them. 

Most nodded.

"Fine, next step! Get your asses out of here because it's about to get messy - I bet most of you haven't seen childbirth before..." she said pointedly to the male already on their feet, "You male should show more respect and love to your women because this woman is about to have her hole stretched beyond imaginable limit, all thanks to pregnancy!" Reina preached.

She added, "Sorry for the inconvenience but I'll make sure you're rewarded immensely," Reina promised them and none of the workers even attempted to stop knowing how influential she was - she would compensate them all. 

Most of the men were quick to leave the restaurant before their female partners nor did any of them dare to take any picture nor video. They knew to respect a pregnant woman - especially one in labor.

"We have a problem," Camille announced.

"What is it?"

"There's a traffic on the way and the paramedic estimate about fifteen minutes to get here,"

"God," Reina gasped, "That's too long," her gaze resting on Cecil who was now on a seat, unable to stand anymore and attacked by more contractions.

"At this rate, we have to deliver by ourselves,"

Reina dropped the bomb on everyone. 

"What?!" Lisa who just arrived with the manager was the most shocked, "You can't be serious, we are not even practitioners - I haven't even given birth!" 

"But you've seen one and acted one," Reina pointed out, "Emily and I have experienced childbearing and seen one," She turned to Camille, "You've watched one as well. Moreover, we have the internet to help us out and help is on the way," 

There was silence as everyone weighed the pros and cons. 

"Come on, girls we can do it!" She encouraged them. 

Emily sighed, rubbing her face with her palm, she was not a fan of giving birth without a medical practitioner because of her own trauma. 

Lisa was sure this wasn't a bad idea - this was no movie but reality. And in reality, shits are real. Anything could go wrong if they played superheroes.

Camille was not any different. She knew nothing about giving birth but then, some instincts are hardwired. 

However, before they could make up their minds, Cecil cursed, "I swear to God if you don't fucking get this baby out of me I'll shoot you motherfuckers in the brain when I'm back on my feet," 

And that was all the motivation they needed. Although they knew Cecil didn't mean it, they still acknowledged the threat. They had to do something. 

Reina turned to the manager, "We need a private room and possibly one that has a bed," 

"You can use my office…." the man trailed off realizing it would get messy in there. 

"You're office then!" Reina finalized it - there was no arguing about using his office. She added her necessities immediately, " I need clean waters, soap, sanitizers, warm water, at least four clean towels, clean sheets, and a plastic bag," she hoped she got it all.
