You're Okay

Ashley was pacing outside the delivery room restlessly. Francesca had gone inside for over an hour now and she was feeling a little scared now. In her worry, she ended up calling Xiu as well even though Francesca had asked her to not disturb anyone.

However, she needed someone by her side right now and that's why she had to call Xiu. 

"Ash?"

Xiu came to her side hurriedly and asked, "Is everything okay? Why do you look so scared?"

"Mom has been in there for over an hour," told Ashley trying to hold back her tears. "I don't know what to do. I got scared so I called you. Sorry, sister-in-law for disturbing you."

Xiu hugged her and patted her back soothingly, "What disturbing? I'm more than happy to be here. Also, there is nothing to worry about at all. Child labor is a battle, it takes time to win a battle."

"But the doctor said because of mom's age, there are things to be..." she couldn't continue her words any longer.
