Usually seeing Lenny and Javier charging at him full speed was a bad sign. This time, it was the best Goddamn news he'd ever gotten. He mounts his horse and rides like a life depends on it - because technically, it does.

"I'm here, I'm here! The baby come yet?" The sound of screaming draws him over. He hustles into your tent and drops to your side. The girls already have you prepped up, pillow after pillow nearly suffocating you.

"You alright sweetheart? I'm real sorry I weren't here sooner." He presses his rugged lips to your hand. His beard tickles but you never minded it much.
