The Midwife part 2

[krystalkatz.livejournal.com]

Nino was almost falling to sleep when the phone rang sharply jerking him out of his half awake, half asleep state. He stared blankly at the phone for a moment before swiftly getting to his feet. He almost fell over when he realised that his legs had fallen to sleep. He rubbed them slowly picking up the phone with an almost trembling hand. He had been worried about not getting any calls tonight but actually having a call was almost as nerve wrecking. During his training, he had been to several births but now he would be on his own and he was terrified that he would do something wrong.

“Hello? Ninomiya speaking” He breathed trying his best to be as professional as possible though his heart was pounding against his ribs. He heard a young woman sobbing loudly down the line and he was instantly filled with a million and one thoughts of all that could be going wrong. Heavy breathing, and more sobs continued and he hummed soothingly “It’s okay, tell me what’s going on?”

“It’s my sister…She’s gone into labour…There’s something wrong! I don’t know what to do” The young woman shouted loudly her voice growing near frantic and Nino was sure that he could hear the pained screams of a woman in the background.

“Relax, breathe slowly and tell me where you are” He said tucking the phone under his chin as he grabbed the pad from the side looking at the list of names of the women that were almost due. There were only three names on the book and he wasn’t surprised when she stuttered out a hurried;

“Matsumoto Mari near the shrine…Please, hurry” Another scream came up and Nino quickly reassured the girl that he would be there as soon as possible and then put the phone down. Matsumoto. It had to be Matsumoto. The woman was okay, one of the few that hadn’t been all that bothered about him being a man but her husband, Jun, on the other hand had been downright scary. Nino knew him from school and he had always been a jerk one of the main trio that had bullied him most severely at school.

Pushing his own feelings of fear aside he gathered his bag, coat, and car keys and then hurried to the door. There had been clouds in the sky all day and now it seemed that the sky had finally opened and was sending light rain down over the floor and he sighed just a little bit before he scrambled to the sleek car that he had been given while he was on call. The cost of the car had been funded by the peoples of the village and it always gave him a buzz of excitement when he slipped behind the wheel. He put his bag down on the seat next to him and then set the car into drive and pulled away from his apartment block.

The streets were thankfully empty at this time of night and it was only a few minutes before he was pulling up outside of the Matsumoto house. He felt almost jealous at the sight of the near sprawling house in front of him. It wasn’t a secret that the Matsumoto’s were wealthy but having that wealth flaunted so openly was another thing. He gathered his bag and the rest of the things that were kept in the car and moved forward as the door opened and Jun himself stepped out.

There was a harried expression on his pale face. His hair was sticking up at odd angles and his nails were bitten down to the wick. His eyes were blown wide but still he managed to stare at him with nothing but disdain on his face as he all but snarled;

“Why is it you?”

“Because I’m the only one on duty” Nino shot back stiffening as he heard a pained scream coming from the depths of the house. Without waiting for an invitation, he pushed passed his former tormentor and stepped into the house knocking him almost painfully with his bag saying “It you want to keep arguing about this we can do it later, currently however, Matsumoto-san, your wife is in pain”
