"What's going on?" Tom asked Bryan as he hung up the call with Jade and turned to him, his face pale.
"It's Sonia. She's gone into labor—early. I can't believe this is happening now. She's not due for another month!"
Tom didn't hesitate. He tore off his jacket, throwing it onto the bench. "Let's go."
"You both can go. We will finish up here," Harry said, and both Philip and Lucas nodded in agreement.
"Thanks," Tom said as he hurried to catch up with Bryan who was already halfway out the door, his phone clutched tightly in his hand.
They sprinted to Bryan's car and Tom slid into the driver's seat and started the engine while Bryan fumbled with his seatbelt, muttering under his breath. "What if something's wrong? What if the baby—"
"Bryan," Tom cut in, his tone firm but calm. "Nothing is wrong. Sonia's going to be okay, and so is your baby."
