Damn it! Why did Courtney have to go into labor now? Why did she have to do it when Alejandro was obviously in the middle of doing something very important? And why did Trent have to speak up when he could see what was going on? Why?


Immediately, Courtney’s scream came from inside, “Trent, get me to a hospital!”


“Are wewe guys coming of what?” Trent asked nervously.


I stood up angrily, “Can’t wewe see that we were in the middle of something?”


Alejandro stood up from the ground and placed a hand on my shoulder, “It’s all right, mi amor. My swali can wait.”


I scowled. No, it couldn’t wait. Why couldn’t I just have a perfect moment when my boyfriend proposes me? Why did he have to be interrupted? Why?


Sure, I had zaidi time to think about this, but I all ready knew my answer, so that wasn’t necessary.


Why did she have to choose now to go into labor right at that moment?


We followed Trent back into the Chris-clad living room.


“I hate wewe Trent,” Courtney was staring Trent down, “I hate you. This is all your fault.”


“Sierra, Heather,” Trent turned to Sierra and me, “I need wewe to go to our apartment and get Courtney’s stuff together; I have no idea what girls need so wewe two should be able to handle that and these two,” Trent pointed a thumb towards Alejandro and Cody, “Probably don’t either.”


“I know what girls need,” Cody spoke up proudly.


“Shut it Cody!” Courtney snapped.


“Shouldn’t wewe have had that stuff together all ready?” I snapped.


“We never got to it,” Trent sighed, “Will wewe please just help me with this? She needs to get to a hospital.”


“Fine,” I groaned.


He grabbed his keys from his pocket and tried to get a key off of the loop.


“Just give them all of them so I can get to a fucking hospital sooner!” Courtney yelled.


Trent handed me the keys. He turned to Alejandro now, “Help me get Courtney to the car.”


“I can walk!”


Trent helped Courtney off of the couch, only for her to sit back down, gripping her stomach in pain.


Alejandro came over to me, “Here are the keys to my car. I’ll meet up with wewe at the hospital,” He handed me his keys.


We embraced in a long kiss.


“Would wewe two stop so I can just get this over with?” Courtney snapped.


“I’ll see wewe in a while, mi amor,” Alejandro said, kissing me one last time.


Sierra and I made our way outside; we got into Alejandro’s car. I looked at the sets of keys, realizing that I had no clue which one was which. They both had about the same amount of keys. I located the keys with black tops since car keys usually have those, right? I stuck one in, only for it not to fit. I moved onto the inayofuata and it fit. I handed the other set to Sierra.


I started the ignition along with turning on the heat. We were on our way to Courtney and Trent’s apartment.


It was a pretty quiet ride over. I wasn’t in the mood to talk after Courtney’s bad timing. I think Sierra was quiet from her Cody-deprivation since he drove the rest of the gang to the hospital in his van. The radio was on, but I was ignoring it.


When we got to the apartment building, I found an empty parking space, but it was pretty far away. Great, I really was anticipating walking through a bunch snow in the dark and in the cold.


It seemed that the whole walk to building that Marisol was kicking. I guess she didn’t like the cold. I placed my hands on my stomach and smiled. Not even the interrupted proposal could ruin this.


We got to the door. Sierra unlocked it and we headed to the elevator. We got in one, heading up to the ninth floor. We went straight to their apartment: 999. I was guessing that Trent picked out the place. Sierra unlocked the door for that too. We quickly got in and turned on the lights.


“Okay,” I said, “Let’s think of all of the things Courtney will need.”


“Clothes, make-up, toothbrush, toothpaste, hairbrush,” Sierra started listing some things off, “Um, socks, underwear. Wait—how long will she be there?”


“I don’t know. We’ll just grab days’ worth of clothes and stuff.”


Sierra nodded.


We headed off to the bedroom of the apartment. We started rummaging through the closet to find a duffle bag au a suitcase au something, anything that we could stuff all of this in. We came across a suitcase.


We then started grabbing some clothes.


“I think five days’ worth should be fine. If not, Trent can just come and get whatever she needs,” I said.


We found five everyday outfits and put them into the suitcase.


“What about pajamas?” Sierra asked.


“Grab some of those too.”


She did.


“How many pairs of underwear will she need? Don’t wewe bleed a lot when wewe have a baby?”


“I don’t know; just grab what wewe can find.”


I saw her stuff some underwear, bras, and socks into the suitcase. I found Courtney’s slippers on the floor kwa the bed, so I stuffed those into there too.


“Will the baby need clothes?” Sierra asked after she spotted the crib, kitanda cha mtoto mchanga in the room.


“I guess it won’t hurt to take them,” I shrugged. We rummaged through a chest of drawers, throwing some baby clothes in with some diapers that were lying on the changing table.


We figured that that was it for clothes so we moved onto the bathroom. We packed make-up, soap, and other things in the bathroom into a toiletry bag that was sitting on a shelf. We threw that into the suitcase with the clothes. Just as we were about to leave the bathroom, we saw a pack of maxi pads with a sticky note attached to it that read: Take to the hospital.


“I guess she needs these too,” I said, picking up the package before throwing them into the suitcase.


Sierra zipped it up and we were out the door again. She locked it—she kept hold of Trent’s keys so that we didn’t get them mixed up again. We went back to the lobby before leaving the building again. She put the suitcase in the backseat (We didn’t feel like bothering to put it in the trunk.).


We were soon en route to the hospital.


“Why did she have to go into labor now?” I groaned as I drove through the snow.


“What do wewe mean?” Sierra asked.


“You know when Alejandro took me outside with him?”


“Yeah.”


“Do wewe know what he was going to do?”


She shook her head.


“He was going to propose to me and Trent had to come outside and interrupt Alejandro before he could even say anything.”


I suddenly had to stop the car when I noticed the amount of traffic, “Great.”


“Oh em gee! Was he really?”


“Yes,” I answered, “But Courtney had to choose to go into labor right as he was about to ask.”


“I can’t wait to blog about this! wewe two are one of the most-loved Total Drama couples! mashabiki were so excited when they found out that wewe were pregnant.”


What?


I turned my head around to face her. My expression was filled with shock, surprise, and horror, “What?”


“I thought wewe would have known that I wrote about it on my blog.”


I sighed; there was no way getting around this. This was just great.


Luckily, the traffic was clearing up and we reached the hospital. I found a place to park. Sierra grabbed the suitcase. After this was done, we started towards the entrance. We checked at the hospital to see what floor we had to go to. We made our way up. We stopped at the nurse’s station to know what room to drop off Courtney’s suitcase to her.


“Courtney Winters? Nobody under that name has come checked into the hospital.”


Sierra and I went to a quieter area of the floor, which was hard to find since it was filled with screaming women. I took out my cell phone and called Alejandro.


When he finally answered, I spoke, “Where are you? We came to the hospital and no one’s here.”


“Cody’s car broke down. Help’s on the way, but we don’t know when that’s going to be since traffic is backed up and the snow’s coming down heavy.”


This was going to be a long night.
