Security member in the bar, doing paperwork.

Shufti isn't really in a position to be doing much else, at present. She can move around all right, but the backache isn't fun and the baby seems to have taken up martial arts in her womb.

Jack, for once, is being incredibly well behaved and drawing pictures with crayons.

Finished with work for the day back in San Andreas, a tired OG arrives at Milliways.

The sight of his wife and son just makes his day better by several levels, and CJ comes over to give Betty a kiss. "Hey babe. How are you?"

She kisses back.

"I'm all right, long day?" Putting a brave face on it somewhat; she's in quite a bit of pain and got a bit of a scare when she had her first false contraction today.

"'lo Daddy, this is you." Jack says, passing him a picture of a red and blue scribble.

"Ah, I am happy Kendl has a good head for business..." yes, a long day. he picks up jack, looking at the drawing. "So you are going to be an artists, son? A rich and famous one so you old dad can retire early? Come on, lets get something for momma."

CJ heads to the counter, and returns with a large heating pad for Betty. It should give her back some relief. "Here, love." He plugs it in, and adjust temperature. "Later I can give you a proper massage."

"No, fireman." Jack says. "And attist."

Shufti smiles gratefully, and shifts onto the pad with a grimace.

"Sorry to be causing so much trouble." she says, putting her hand on the belly.

"Now now..." He sits down close, kissing her cheek. "You are not causing any trouble. You are my wife." Taking care of her is his pleasure.

jack gets a smile. "I worked as fireman too..."

"Nee naw nee naw!" Jack says, clapping his hands together.

Shufti leans against him, then winces slightly as she gets another false contraction.

"Getting close." CJ rests a hand on Betty's tummy. "Hmm, I can take Jack for a ride on a real fireman truck, I think."

"He'd like that..." she gasps slightly, the pain is sharper this time.

"Too early to be scaring me yet, little one." she says, gently prodding the belly.

"We should go see a doctor, then. The hospital in San Fierro is the best in the state." He is worried... which parent and husband would not be worried?

"Do you think so? I remember having false contractions with Jack, but I don't remember them being this strong this early."

"Better safe than sorry? Lets go check, and if its nothing, its nothing..." And if it is something better catch it early.

She nods. "Okay. But this paperwork needs to go back in the office."

"Okay, let me help." CJ smiles, kissing her cheek befoe helping Betty gather and organize the paperwork, so she can go back to it later if needed.

She kisses back, smiling slightly as she prepares to move. Not a good idea to stand up too quickly.

CJ will lend a strong arm to help her up... heck, lift her up, letting her not use those aching muscles. He can also take Jack's hand to guide their son.

"Don't know what I'd do without you." she says softly, leaving a note for Security in case she is missed.

"Hmm..." He whispers in her ear, teasingly. "Well, without me, you would not be waiting another baby... so it is my fault, and I have to take care of you anyway?" He chuckles, kissing her cheek. "Love you, Betty..."
