Exton

Pandora awakens from sleep,its early morning... and Ob has changed to stone in the room, closer to her bed... she smiles and says "I miss you, Ob, can't wait till tonight... and all the rest of the nights of our life together."

She feels that tiny fluttering in her belly, and knows now it's the baby, a tiny soul at this point, but soon enough their little girl will come. She feels distress... but knows its not her in distress... all of a sudden it occurs to her that Alise must be in labor... somehow they are connected... probably the link some women have with each other... heightened by their pregnancy. Pandora calls the cottage, taking a chance that she is not waking Alise; and Raina answers the phone... she suspects the first stages are starting. Rowan will be there soon... Pandora decides she is going to lend some moral support, and to learn first hand what is to come, for Alises babes are part gargoyle too.

She quickly dresses and calls down for Patti to whip up a fried egg sandwich with green chilis... she knows she must eat to give Chloe the nourishment she needs. She drapes her arms around Ob and tells him she is going to the cottage... back for dinner unless he shows up there. Popping a couple of vitamins with juice... she grabs the sandwich from Patti and scoots out the door... Monty meets her with his car and tells her he'll drive her there... he doesn't want her taking chances alone. Pandora starts to protest, but knows he's right, and slides in the passenger door.
