Sherlock chuckled. "Well, all that's about to change-" He was cut off from John having another contraction, and squeezing Sherlock's hand hard enough to almost break the bones in his fingers.
When it was over, he nodded to John's mother and held John's hand as they stepped through the portal.
"Ah, I thought you might be on your way." The healer said, with a smile on his face. He didn't look like he had just been sleeping, but then Sherlock had to remind himself that time moved differently around here.
"Can we get him to a bed please? The contractions are between two and three minutes apart."
Between the two of them, they helped the enormous John onto the rock bed with its cool pillows and into a position where he could give birth.
"Even with the contractions close together, it still might take some time, so get comfortable. Especially with twins, there is usually 10-15 minutes between births, sometimes more."He said while he started to mix something in his mortal and pestle.
"A salve, to lessen the pain." He made up a good batch, then rubbed it around John's entrance, which immediately dulled the pain and made it tingle. "It will not hurt the babies. I promise."
