Fate and Fortune Cookies

110 - Game Changer - Seb POV

Later that day, after some cluster feedings, naps, and adjusting to parental life, Rylee and Sebastian called Georgeta and put her on speaker.

"Bună draga!" Georgeta answered excitedly on the first ring.
"Hello, honey!"

"Bună, ma. Ea este aici." Sebastian replied with a relieved sigh and a smile.
"Hi, Ma. She's here."

"Oh my gosh, that's wonderful! Anthony and I...may be here too."

"I should've known you two would trek down here and wait it out," Sebastian chuckled, running his hand through his hair.

"Your friend Christopher and his fiancé are here too."

"Oh yeah? Well hang on, I'll come down. I'll be there in like five."

"Okay, dear, buh bye."

Sebastian hung up the phone and looked at Rylee who was giggling, "Did we expect anything less from any of them?"

"No. Not in the slightest," Sebastian replied, "Are you okay with them being here? I think we're only allowed two extra people in here at a time anyway but—"

Rylee set her hand on Sebastian's, pausing what would have been an anxious, worried rant.
"I'm perfectly okay with all of them being here."

Sebastian nodded and let out a breath he didn't know he was holding before he stood up, "Alrighty, I'll go get them and be back, okay? You need anything?"

"No, I'm okay," Rylee said with a small smile.

"And do you need anything miss?" Sebastian said, looking down at Charlotte resting in Rylee's arms. "No? Okay."

Rylee chuckled as Sebastian leaned over to kiss the side of her head and down to kiss Charlotte's as well, "I'll be right back, ladies."

Sebastian headed out the door and as soon as it shut behind him, he suddenly got nervous. Or excited? He wasn't sure how, because he has definitely already been feeling both of those things for the last day and a half.

He made his way down the hall towards the elevators, where he nodded at the security guard at his desk.

The elevator chimed and Sebastian stepped inside and pressed the button for the ground floor. As the numbers ticked by, Sebastian got more and more antsy. He was so unbelievably nervous for everyone to meet their little baby girl, but he also couldn't wait to show her to them either.

He was pulled from his thoughts as the doors opened in front of him, but he was surprised it wasn't on the ground floor yet. It had stopped on the second floor and two women walked in beside him. They had looked up at him but just quick enough to turn around and press the button and continue on with their conversation.

"Oops, this was going down, oh well." One of the women said as they pressed the 5 button.

He couldn't help but eaves drop on their continued conversation in the small space.

"Jessica said she saw someone that looked like Chris Evans down in the waiting room."

"That would be crazy. Can you imagine if it was him? What would you even do?"

"Probably politely tell him I love his work."

The two girls paused for a moment and then both started laughing, "Yeah, 'politely,' you'd probably be drooling on him."

"Yeah, probably. One can dream though, huh."

The elevator chimed again and the doors opened to the ground floor, where Sebastian excused himself and snuck by them.
