After Amanda told him the baby was coming, Niels knew exactly what to do. He helped her to one of the chairs on the veranda, after which he got out his phone. He quickly dialed his younger sister Isa’s number. He knew she was there with her boyfriend, but she was their only family other than Rico. And he didn’t want to cause more stress for Rico and Ceci. After all they had two children of their own to take care of. And Niels needed someone that could fully focus on these three kids.
When Isa answered the phone, Niels quickly told her Amanda’s pregnancy was running to an end, and he invited her over. “We would really appreciate you and Gabe coming over, at least for the night. You two can use the guest bedroom, and all you have to do is take care of our kids when they wake up. Is that something you can do?” Isa sighed sleepily at the other side of the phone before speaking up. “Sure I can bro,” she said, “let me just call a cab after I wake up Gabe. We’ll be there as soon as possible.” After thanking Isa, Niels helped Amanda into the house. He quickly ran upstairs, grabbing the bag Amanda and he had prepared before. It was something they had learned from their previous pregnancies, the importance of that. A while later, Niels got a text to inform him of Isa and Gabe’s arrival. He let them in, quickly telling them where the kitchen and their bedroom was before rushing off. He helped Amanda to the car quickly before driving off. En route, Niels started making a handsfree call. When he reached the birthing center, he told them Amanda was having contractions, and he told them to prepare a room for her. She would be there soon, and after that, Niels would be there for Amanda until the kid was there. Arriving at the center, check-in was easy and all was prepared. Niels kissed Amanda’s forehead once she was installed. “It will all be fine,” he whispered, kissing her forehead again. He truly believed that, and he hoped it would be a reality too.
