Millie had Marcus drive her to visit Rylie.
While at Rylie’s place, she found her busy packing for the hospital; her due date was just three days away.
Once the bags were ready, Millie helped Rylie downstairs, and Marcus took them to the hospital.
Observing Rylie’s difficulty in moving, Millie decided to take the afternoon off.
Upon reaching the hospital, Millie was right beside Rylie for a comprehensive check-up. She also took care of the paperwork and even arranged for two caregivers to assist her.

Noticing Millie scurrying about, securing all her maternity needs, Rylie couldn’t help but feel a twinge of guilt as she sat on the bed.
“Thank you so much for all of this.”
“It’s no big deal. I’m the godmother, after all,” Millie said, storing away her purchases neatly.
“I’ve got baby formula, bottles, a blanket, wet wipes, a toothbrush and toothpaste, towels, a basin… Oh, and two sets of cotton pajamas, along with shoes and socks. They’re all in the locker. Need anything else? I double-checked online to make sure I didn’t miss anything.”
“Just relax for a bit. With the caregivers here, if I need anything, they can go get it,” Rylie reassured Millie, taking her hand and guiding her to sit next to the bed.
Millie rested her hand on Rylie’s stomach and smiled.
“Little one, you’ll be joining us soon. Are you excited?”

“Sweetheart, your godmother loves you so much she’s even got a bracelet ready for you. You have to make it into this world safe and sound.”
Reacting quickly, Millie interjected, “She will, she will be both healthy and safe.”
Storing the bracelet back, Rylie let out a sigh.
“You’ve got a lot on your plate with work, yet you still find the tto csee me.
I can’t help but feel grateful, but also a little sorry.”
“It’s no big deal, really. I often find myself with sfree time,”
Millie reassured her.
