Seasons of Sugarcreek 03. Autumn's Promise
“Elsa and her mom had been in a panic, and Judith flashed between giddy and a nervous wreck.
It had been up to Lilly to get things organized. “Mom, I’ll drive them; you stay here and wait for Ty. Elsa, I’ll pick you and Toby up in ten minutes. Go tell Judith to wait for Maggie, Anson, and Carrie. Caleb should be back soon. When everyone gets home, either my dad or my mom can take the rest of your family to the hospital.”
Unbelievably, neither woman had questioned a thing; had just hugged and par...ted within seconds.
After slipping on a sweater and boots, she drove over, picked Elsa up, and then drove as fast as she could to the Grabers’ store. Ten minutes after that, her car was filled with Elsa, Margaret, a panicked Josh, and a very big Gretta.
The forty-minute trip to the hospital had felt surreal. Hardly any of them talked. Instead, all eyes and ears were focused on Gretta’s every move. By the time they got to the hospital, Lilly had been sweating. She’d felt like the whole car had experienced each one of Gretta’s contractions together.MoreLess
