A Town for Bald Women, Chapter 11

Violet's daughters reacted quickly. Her oldest tried to run over to Camille the quickest, but the others rushed to her as well. Unfortunately, they all bonked each other's heads together, stopping them shortly. The scene might have been comical, but Violet and Maude knew they had to help Camille.

Violet and Maude got to either side of Camille and helped her.

"Don't worry, Camille. Maude's house is nearby." Violet said. "We'll get the midwife."

Phoebe and Sasha looked around for some sort of weapon. Words would probably not be enough. Phoebe found a wooden rod that could be used as a club, Sasha found a lamp that had been thrown on the garbage.

Blythe's ex-boyfriend and his friends weren't hard to find. They were clearly an unruly bunch, to put in in more nice terms. The man himself wasn't too big, but his cronies certainly were.

The leader was confused, as anyone coming there night be. "What is this place? Some kind of creepy cult?"

"This is a safe haven, and also a private place. We respectfully ask you leave."

"Whatever. Where's Blythe? I saw her car here."

"That is not for you to know." Phoebe said firmly.

"Oh we'll see about that." He rushed off. His goons weren't far behind. The two followed him.

There weren't many people still around. Some women were embarrassed to be seen, some didn't want to be seen at all. He found a few ladies, including Shelley, in the bar sleeping. He woke one woman up, asking for Blythe. She said she didn't know where she was- being truthful. He got to Shelley finally after waking a few more up.

"So, do you know my girlfriend, a Miss Blythe Edson?"

"No..." She didn't like how this man seemed.

"You sure? Seems like you do know."

Shelley stood up. "If I did, I would certainly protect her."

Meanwhile, his friends were waiting outside the bar. Phoebe and Sasha came up to them.

"What's he doing in there?" asked Sasha.

"I don't know. Why do you care?"

"Your friend worries us." Phoebe said.

"So?" They continued to argue until Blythe came over, having lost Shelley at the bar. She recognized the two men.

"Oh, they got you too, huh? Well, I'll have to go in and tell him about this..."

"No!" Blythe went up and punched him.

"Ow... She's feisty, ain't she?" The man said. Blythe hit him a few more times until he was on the ground.

"Hey, now..." The other man looked ready to fight. Phoebe hit him with her wood club- not severely but enough to knock him down too.

"I like your thinking. Can I have that lamp?"

Shelley was still angrily being questioned. Several other women had stood up for her.

"Hold it!" She ran in front of Shelley. "I'm the one you want, not her."

"Good... Why don't you come with me. You won't have to worry, everything will be nice. We can even grow your hair back."

"I like being bald. And I also like being away from you, far away... so I never have to see you again."

"Nonsense. Don't you love me?"

"No. I love this woman." Blythe said, backing up and putting her shoulder on Shelley's shoulder. He grumbled and started moving towards her and Blythe took this opportunity to smash the lamp on him.

The woman stood over him. "He'll be alright." Shelley noted. "Though are you alright, Blythe? That's all that matters."

"Of course I am." Blythe hugged and then kissed Shelley.

"Now let's get all these guys far away from here." This would not be the fun part, but it had to be done.

Camille was also not having much fun. It had been several hours but the child would not come out. Everyone was trying their best to help her.

Violet's daughter ran in. It was still pretty messy there. The medical recruits were doing their best.

"Mother, can I do anything to help?"

"Oh... well, wash your hands, at least." She did and she told her sisters to do as well when they came in.

"I hope the baby comes out soon, I'm not trained in the Caesarian section." This made Camille even more afraid. She saw Violet's daughters helping, which did give her a new sense of determination.

"I think we got it, Camille..." Violet's oldest daughter said. Camille gave the final push and before anyone really knew what was happening, the baby was in Violet's daughter's arms.

"Ohh... Thank you so much, girls..." Camille said.

"Yes, you were a great help." said the impromptu OB-GYN. "Oh, hold on one second... There we go... Let me get rid of that... May I see the baby for a little while?"

"Of course."

"Mmm... Can I give you a kiss?" She kissed all three daughters. Violet and Maude smiled.

"It's a girl!" was the announcement from the other room.
