[quote=Anonymous]I don’t get the part about gives birth unexpectedly—and asks you to come visit.  Is the ask coming during labor? If they’ve already given birth, are they insisting that the visit has to be immediate or on a specific day — that just happens to be the day of the party that you’ve already committed to?  I’d go to the party as planned, and visit the newborn the next day.  You don’t mention other relationships, so are the siblings and their families going to meet? If so, maybe everyone could meet the newborn after the gathering.

If the very small birthday party has been planned in advance, it would suck to bail — unless there’s some sort of medical emergency with the newborn or the newborn’s mom.

tldr: I would go to the party as planned, and visit the newborn either before or after the planned party.

Of course the history would matter. There are lots of hypothetical possibilities here, so hard to comment usefully without more information — including how well the siblings get along.
