Surpirse, Baby
Hunnie Inzotta
⭒☆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━☆⭒
Bahm scooped me off the ground, and after my second set of contractions, I couldn't think about anything else's besides the fact I saved Kris' life, but he was in a sleeping hold.
I was nervous his lashing out would harm Bahm more than himself. He's been so broken, and I felt for him.
As much as I wanted to include him in everything, Bahm was right. Things can never be the same. He can never look at me with those dreamy eyes ever again. He also can never flirt with me like I was his first crush.
The thought about it erupts a sob from my mouth, and when Bahm places me down on a complex, circular, cushioned bed, he looks at me stunned.
"What's the matter, sweetheart?"
"It's Kris."
"What about him?"
"I know he'd liked to be here...that is all," I mumbled, looking away and tensing my body for the next wave of contraction.
"I know, Hunnie.
Trust me, but this is the arrival...of his sibling.
He doesn't belong here anymore." Bahm says quickly as I gaze up at the sheer red canopy above our heads.
A vision of the blue-colored-looking princess room is all my eyes caught before clamping shut through another contraction.
They were excruciating! I Wasn't expecting this sudden pain right away!
Okay, Hunnie!
Think clearly about the delivery plan you've been going over these past few weeks.
"My mom!" I whispered hoarsely to Bahm between breaths.
I wanted my adoptive mother to be part of this and my girlfriends.
"Yeah, we'll get them over between your contractions. Don't worry." His soothing words and hands caressing down my back made this all more surreal.
"Hey!
Sorry, I came as soon as Leolo told my people!"
A familiar voice interrupts the quietness in the room, and after lifting my head, my eyes widen in shocking surprise.
"ANNA?"
I shrieked in question after my contractions calmed down, then I looked at Bahm puzzlingly.
"She's the best midwife in town. I hope it was okay."
A warm smile creeps onto his face, and Anna approaches my bedside, holding her hand out for me to take as she kisses my knuckles.
"AHT!
AHT!
None of that."
Bahm scolds her, and she hides the smile itching towards the side of her beautiful bronze face. She looks the same in every way. It's been a long time since I've seen Anna.
There are so many things I'm grateful for her. One of them was that she brought me to understand Bahm more. I wondered if she knew about Kris.
"Hello, we are here as well. I just received the news.
Orders were given to send most of the maidens back home and into The Kingdom." Mirah comes rushing into the room with Suki by her side.
"They're all here to help," Bahm says, nodding at them both.
"But I want a natural--"
The words barely made it out of my mouth before I clenched my fist and body in preparation for another round of contractions.
My stomach tightens, and the knife-stabbing pain radiates from my lower back to the front of my stomach. I wanted to cry, but I knew my son would be here today, so I pushed through.
"You'll have a natural birth, Hunnie.
I promise, but after, I'll heal you internally." Bahm kisses my hand as Anna cautiously crawls onto the bed behind me.
"I'm going to massage your lower back for you, zen we have to get you up and walking, m'kay?"
After exhaling harshly, I nodded to Anna and her broken English as her hands worked their magic on my back, but then Mirah came over to my other side, pulling my dress over my head and rubbing some oil around my stomach. All movements were beginning to kill me.
Through my next wave, Anna gave me her hand to squeeze through the pain, and it didn't phase her one bit while Mirah was across the way, timing each one and how far apart they were. We were down to every two minutes!
"You might want to be clean when your son comes into the world.
I can smell alcohol on you."
"WHAT!
THAT ISN'T ME!
It's from Kris!"
Mirah tries explaining to Bahm that he should shower, and he takes it offensively. That was until Anna mentioned that we didn't have much time left. I was already leaking fluid from my sac!
Bahm sniffs the air and immediately teleports out of the room. Great! I couldn't wait for this to be over already!
Tears sprung from my eyes once Anna pulled me off the bed, and I went to take baby steps. I didn't recall my steps being this painful! Holy shit, I'm so heavy!
"I want to sit," I bawled, looking up at Anna in a reclined position.
"When your contractions are closer, I will put you in a nice hot tub, geting into an even better position. Come on, let's go."
"Oh man, I don't think I can make it. My back kills and...and... my crotch!"
"Trust me, you've got this," Anna takes my arm and throws it around her neck so she can support me while I hunched over in pain. With the slight height difference, it felt nice to hold onto something while I walked to the birthing tub.
"You look great pregnant, Hunnie.
Colossal belly, but great!
I've been waiting to visit you."
"How did you hear?" I chuckle at her comment. My eyes rolled because I knew I was as big as a whale by now.
"Well, Bahm sent Leolo to our realm one day when he supposedly got his memories back?
Je don't know too much about that, C'est, but everyone in the Kingdom knew he'd come back from Hell, and we all waited for him to show his face, but he never did.
Until that one day became..and told me he was having a son and trusted me to make sure he was delivered safely since I took such good care of vous, " She says just as I hunch over in pain, throwing my arms down and rubbing my stomach in circular motions.
"Never thought he could have children."
Her statement made me think of Kris and how much he should be here to witness my birth. Maybe she does know about him since she keeps saying, children. I hadn't stopped thinking about Kris for one single second. He should be awake by now, and who knows how he's reacting!
Bahm teleports in front of us, shirtless in a panic while still buttoning his pants. His eyes go wide, and he scrutinizes the whole room.
"Do you not smell that?"
He looks to Mirah, then Anna.
"Yes!
She's crowning, but relax!
She's already nervous as is." Anna says in her heavy french accent.
WHAT!
I'M CROWNING!
My heart started to beat rapidly, and Bahm took the spot of Anna, holding me against his chest. He was so hot against my face that my world and pain completely stopped in his embrace, and I inhaled his scent as it soothed me.
We stood in the middle of the room while the women ran about, placing towels and baby items on the bed and around the tub. Suki ran out of the room and came back with bottles of water, and I thought I scented Kris' scent as the door closed.
"You're doing a good job Hunnie.
It'll all be over soon."
"Is Kris out there?
Is he awake?" Bahm rolls his eyes, and the warmth from his body on mine vanishes as he takes a step backward.
"Come on with him already!
Are you doing this on purpose?"
"What do you mean?" As soon as I asked, my contractions came in full force. I couldn't even speak, despite Bahm continued talking his nonsense.
"Don't bring it up again, or you're going to PISS ME OFF!!
Are you not satisfied?" My eyebrows furrow at his reaction.
"Bring up what!"
Anna says, but now I was more focused on how this son of a BITCH, just spoke to me. It shouldn't bother me the way it sparked a fire inside, but suddenly it did!
On top of that, did he let me go on purpose?
SO I COULD FEEL MY PAIN AGAIN!!
BECAUSE I MENTIONED KRIS??!!
Flashing purple stars and a completely blackened vision took over, and when I came back, I roared, and once I started, I couldn't stop.
"PISS YOUUU OFFFF??
DON'T YOU DARE... GET ME STARTED!
NONE OF THIS IS EASYYYY!"
I knew I looked like a deranged, crazy, pregnant woman by the expression on his broad-eyed face, but I wasn't going to tolerate his behavior DURING OUR SON'S DELIVERY!!
" You think...EVERYONE CAN TURN OFF THEIR EMOTIONS LIKE YOU??"
After screaming at him even louder, I hunched over onto Anna as another wave struck again.
How dare he talks to me in such a way! He triggered me back to when he had that Demon inside of him. I wanted to rip his head off. Boy, I can't handle these new supernatural emotions.
"WE...
We are ALL TRYING...to cope!
So, EXCUSE ME...If I can't help but worry about someone else, that SHARES A bond with me!!!"
"Okay, Hunnie!
Uhm...
Take it easy, Your Highness. Maybe you should sit down over there."
"NO!" Bahm roars furiously toward Mirah.
"GET OVER THERE!!!!
NOW!!!!!!"
After hollering in a rage, Anna took a second look at my face when I felt as though I popped a blood vessel and shrieked as Bahm rushed to the sofa.
"WHAT DID YOU DO!" She gasps and covers her mouth.
Where?
What is wrong?
Is it my eyes?
Yeah, Bahm did a thing...
"SHE HAS FANGS!"
