closed starter for @muslings !!
He didn’t even hang the phone up. He was too busy shoving himself and Julia in the car to think about anything else. The baby was coming. The baby was coming; Jesus Christ he was feeling just as nauseous as Evelyn had been her entire pregnancy. The siblings sat in mostly silence as Elias peeled down the congested streets, grumbling and cussing the whole crawl towards Evelyn’s office. They were having a Halloween party there and she insisted on going, wanting nothing more but to wear her pregnancy costume. Her bloated belly was ET wrapped in a towel like it was in the that little fucker’s basket during the movie’s most iconic scene. Honestly? It was absolutely incredible.
Fifteen grueling minutes later, including circling the building for a spot, he lept out the car. “Julia! When you see us, get out of the front seat, hold the door open, and make sure Eve’s in.” He didn’t wait for an answer, hustling into the building. Shoving himself into an already crowded elevator, he squirmed as he waited to get to her floor. Once he was there (he nearly tackled a woman to the ground to get out) he dashed towards her office door, throwing it wide open. “Evelyn Harlow!” he hollered over Frank Sinatra’s Witchcraft playing softly in the background. “Your Uber has arrived!”
