The sun had just shifted to the west when Ben Affleck stepped out of the apartment building, carefully supporting Toni as she descended the steps, even more attentive than he had been with Jennifer Garner back when she was close to giving birth.
As he held her, he kept saying, "Take it slow, take it slow, no need to rush."
Toni, with one hand on Ben and the other on her belly, said, "I might be having contractions; my stomach hurts a little."
"Hang in there, we will get to the hospital in no more than ten minutes." Ben helped her into the back seat of the car, took the driver's seat, and drove off towards the nearby maternity hospital.
While waiting for a traffic light, he even called Casey Affleck, telling him to hurry and bring the birthing bag to the hospital.
More than half an hour later, after they had arrived at the hospital and Ben had finished all the formalities, he finally let out a sigh of relief.
Casey rushed in from outside.
