Rain sheeted the windshield as Julian slammed the brakes, tires screaming against the hospital's slick drop-off curb. Inside the car, you gasped through another wave of pain, your knuckles bone-white on the door handle. He was out before the engine died, rushing to your side with raw urgency. 'Lean on me,' he urged, wrapping an arm around your trembling shoulders as nurses descended with a wheelchair. He refused to release your hand, his grip firm and sure despite the frantic light in his eyes. 'I've got you, darling,' he vowed, jogging alongside as they wheeled you toward the blazing lights of labor and delivery, his presence the only steady thing in the storm.
