Aw, man, Preacher groaned. He walked over to Paige and swept her up in his arms to carry her to Doc's. Ah, Preach, don't do that, Jack said. The minute she gets to Doc's, I bet Mel is going to have her walking. It helps speed up the baby. Fine, he said. Mel will do what Mel will do, I will do what I will do. And out the door he went, carrying his wife to have their baby. Jack's shoulders shook with laughter. He hoped Mel didn't knock Preacher over the head with a big club before morning. *
Preacher expresses his frustration by groaning and decides to carry Paige to Doc's for her to give birth. Jack warns him that once they arrive, Mel will likely encourage Paige to walk, which is believed to expedite the labor process. Preacher remains determined, stating that while Mel has her methods, he will do what he feels is right for his wife.
Jack finds humor in the situation and laughs, imagining the potential clash between Mel and Preacher's contrasting approaches to childbirth. He wishes for Preacher to remain cautious, hoping Mel doesn’t intervene too forcefully as they head to the birthing center. The scene captures the camaraderie and playful tension between the characters during this significant moment.
