"Broke?!" Nimue shrieked, swimming circles around Roxy like a distressed guppy. "What broke? Your skin? Are you leaking internal fluids? Is the baby dissolving?!"
"I am not dissolving!" Roxy yelled, as another spasm of cramps hit her. "It means the baby is coming! Now! Like, right now!"
Kaia, who had been ready to fight an assassin, looked completely lost. She scanned the room with her dagger raised, looking for the enemy named "Labor."
"Where is the threat?" Kaia barked. "Is it internal? Do I need to cut it out?"
"No cutting!" Roxy screamed, pointing a trembling finger at the General. "Put the knife away, Kaia! Jesus Christ, put it away!"
"But you are compromised!" Kaia argued, looking at the cloud of fluid dissipating around Roxy's hips. "Do you need me to call the priestess to see you?!"
"I'm not a submarine!" Roxy roared. "I'm having a baby! Help me to the bed, you useless fish!"
