Lydia nodded a little bit and squeezed his hand, far more gently this time. "There's really nothing for her to do, yet, anyway." She didn't want him fretting unnecessarily. She just hadn't wanted to be alone.
A soft rap on the door announced that Sarah was here, needed or not, and she came in with a bright smile and an air of efficiency. She was a little dusty from chores, but she moved to Lydia's side, sitting down on the sofa. "Sylar didn't say much except that I was needed. How close are the contractions?"
Lydia was glad she didn't ask if she was sure this time. "They've been getting pretty steadily stronger all morning. I'd say they're about five minutes apart now, and my water broke right before I sent Sylar for the two of you."
Sarah nodded and got up, moving to the kitchen to scrub her hands at the sink. "Let's take a quick look, then, to see how dilated you are. Five minutes is thresholdish for active labor, but you just got there, so..."
Lydia felt her stomach flutter with nerves again, and clung a bit to Samuel's hand as she pushed back up to her feet to head to the bedroom.
