It was a long wait to assume Nonnatus House was mostly asleep, in the middle of the night. There was always the risk of the occasional medical emergency, where someone might have to pick up the phone, and a few of the midwives would have to stay up to tend to the emergency. For now, Nonnatus House was still. Everyone was asleep.
Even with Nonnatus House still, Delia made her motions deliberately slow. She walked to Patsy’s bed and slid under the covers.
Patsy and Delia kissed before stripping under the covers, making sure they wouldn’t fall out of bed.
