Okay, sorry for the delay I had been working a lot and I dont have computer at home. Thanks so much to the evil MASTERNIGHT STALKERfor her wonderful, incredible, amazing editing job.

Okay, this is for the boss...

The blonde woman looked at the sky. It was abeautiful afternoon… well, now every afternoon, every day, every moment was beautiful. The sounds, the rain, the grass, all had a different and marvelous meaning. She smiled to herself. It was incredible how life changed in just a minute. All her life she had been a fighter, all her life she had worked hard and faced many kinds of criminals, heroes and thugs.

Many times she had felt alone, she had grown up alone. Sadness was a ghost in her childhood. And after that, she had felt sad, haunted, but now… now she felt blessed. Incredible love.

She could give life.

She had life.

She suddenly felt a kick in her stomach. She smiled and placed her hand on her belly moving her hand lovingly over it. Her baby always kicked, it was going to be strong. She knew it was her baby and she knew she would never feel alone again.

The door opened and a doctor appeared. "I'm back, Miss Kyle."

"Okay Joseph." She put her hand on her back and sat in a chair in front of the doctor's desk, Joseph Carter, her obstetrician.

"I´m glad you want to know if the baby is a boy or a girl," he said sitting in his chair.

"I was thinking about letting it be a surprise, but… I prefer to know to buy things, you know, the cradle, clothes…"

"Well…" He took a box wrapped in paper and gave it to her.

"What is this?" she asked.

"Open it."

Curious Selina Kyle, ex-criminal known as Catwoman, unwrapped the paper and opened the little box, she took out a small pink hippo.

"Congratulations," the doctor said, "It's a girl."

Selina opened her eyes wide. "Girl? I thought was a boy…"

"Oh no…It's a girl."

"Oh my…" Selina mumbled, stunned.

"Want to see her on the ultrasound?"

"Yes!"

After a few minutes, the doctor put Selina on a stretcher. She waited patiently, watching the doctor make the preparations, finally he put the jelly on her bare stomach and moved his ultrasound over her.

Selina looked at the black and white monitor. After a few seconds, she saw an image appear.

"Here she is…" the doctor said, smiling.

"Oh my…" Selina couldn't avoid her emotion as she watched the baby's form on the screen. She could see her hands and feet quite clearly.

"Let's try to see her face." The doctor moved his hand and Selina could see the girl stretching her leg and kicking her. She winced and smiled.

"Ouch, That hurt," The doctor said.

"She always kicks."

"She doesn't like us disturbing her." The doctor moved his hand again. "Be patient, baby, Mom wants to see you… and… here she is…"

Selina could see the baby's face - her nose, eyes and mouth – on the screen. "She is so little!"

"Want a picture of her?" the doctor asked.

"Yes!"

"Okay…" the doctor stretched his right arm and put his finger on a button "so… baby, smile."

The baby again felt the movement near her and kicked her mother's stomach once more.

"I'm never having sex again!" Selina yelled, dropping her head back on the mattress. She was covered in sweat, lying on a medical table, her legs up in the supports and her hands with a death grip on the blankets. She had asked the doctor not to use drugs for her labor. That, now, she was certain had been a stupid decision; she never thought being in labor could be so painful.

Her obstetrician smiled, preparing to receive the new baby. "Come on, Selina, it's just a baby. Forty weeks size. Good cardiac activity."

Selina felt another contraction and yelled. "God! I'll kill him!" She clenched her teeth. "I swear it! I'll kill him! Son of a bitch!"

"Fetal heart rate at 142," the nurse said, amused.

"Okay, so we can try again, Selina?" the doctor asked. "You can do it."

"You've been saying that for two hours! Dammit!" the blonde gritted.

Joseph laughed. "Push Selina…"

"Give me a second." The blonde closed her eyes, breathing quickly as she tried to get control of herself while the nurse cleaned her forehead with a cloth.

"You said no drugs."

"I want them now…"

"Too late, now it's impossible…"

"I hate you, Joseph."

"And I love you, baby is coming, push…"

The ex-criminal pushed again as hard as she could and screamed.

"That's it, that's it," the doctor said looking down, "You can do it… again…."

Selina swallowed. "Screw people who say you forget the pain. That's a load! I want to see you pregnant." She blamed Bruce again, "I'll kill those son of a bitch!"

"Calm down, Miss Kyle, just a few minutes." A nurse cleaned her forehead again with a wet cloth; she was having a hard time tying to endure the pain.

"You don't understand… Owwww," she moaned with another contraction and needed a few seconds to take air again "It's… it's his fault, lady. It was his little sperm that put me in this trouble… Bastard!"

She was an expert at complaining, Joseph smiled, "Okay Selina, push now!"

The blonde closed her eyes and did as he said, pushing as hard as she could. "Oh God," Selina exhaled harder, stopping her push, "I can't more…."

"Almost there, Selina... One more push should do it."

She rested her head back on the pillow a few seconds. "This is harder than stealing the Queen's Jewels in England."

"Come on Selina, don't be dramatic. That is not easy."

"I want to see you pregnant and in labor like me."

"Come on. Don't tell me a little baby is stronger than you."

"This little baby has a big head, like her father. That damn…" Anther contraction cut her words and she bit her lip. That was really painful.

"Ready?"

"All right, all right…" Selina closed her eyes and took a few seconds, trying to focus. After a deep breath, she mumbled, taking the nurse's hand that was next to her, "I'm ready."

"Okay…" the doctor asked "…and push… Push!"

Selina clenched her teeth harder, making a last big effort.

"Her head is out," the nurse said, smiling,

"Push once more, Selina…" the doctor asked.

"Dammit!" She did it as was said.

"The shoulders are almost out, one last push, Selina, come on, last one."

She screamed and pushed.

"I got her!" the doctor shouted, taking the baby in his hands.

"Clamp. And cut."

Selina couldn't avoid smiling, hearing her baby cry.

"She is a beautiful and healthy big girl." Joseph lifted the baby to show it to her, she was crying really hard, "and she has pretty good lungs. Just let us clean her a bit." He gave the baby to a nurse to clean her nostrils and throat.

The blonde was trying to recover her breath again, that had been an experience, "Is she okay?"

"You now have a healthy and lovely girl." The nurse cleaned her sweaty face again.

"Are you sure she is okay?" Selina asked nervously, smiling.

"Do you not hear her?" the doctor asked waving toward her and removing his gloves, "I guess she didn't like having to come out. She is like her mother, when she doesn't like something, she has a tantrum."

She looked at him gently and took his hand, "Thanks, Joseph…"

"It's a pleasure, Selina, you know it."

"Miss Kyle," a nurse interrupted, "here is your baby."

Selina felt her hands tremble when the nurse handed her the small package covered in a white blanket, crying as hard as she could. Selina couldn't stop the tear that escaped her eye.

"Hi Helena, it's mommy." She moved her finger to caress her check. "Hi Hel…" The baby seemed to recognize the voice and her cry turned to sobs. "Hi honey, don't cry, I'm here…" she noticed her black hair, dark as her father's, and smiled.

"Oh, I see you chose her name… Helena…"

"Yes, I was thinking a lot about it… I like it." She noticed, amused, how her baby opened her eyes slowly, the bright light was new for her. "I named her Helena since I know she will be with me. Helena means light, shining and bright, like the stars and the moon that come out at night." She watched her baby moving her head toward her following her voice, "Hi honey…"

"That is beautiful. Where did you get the name?"

"Yes, Helena is from the Greek Helene "torch" or "corposant", or the Greek Selene "moon"."

"So.. it comes from your own name, Selina…"

"Yes." Selina kissed her, she was the most marvelous gift that life had given to her. She never imagined she could feel happiness so big that she felt as if her heart would explode. She moved her finger toward the baby's hands, they were so little. Helena yawned and closed her eyes. Her mom laughed. Suddenly, she felt something strange. She kept still a few seconds.

"Something happen?" Joseph asked.

"No… it's just…" Selina moved her hand down the blanket that was covering her baby and felt it, a light purr. She was purring like a content house cat. She smiled lovingly at her. "You are my kitten…"

HELENA'S my daughter's name

My first child, my first birth

And some times my heavenly HELENA

Can be hell on earth

But mostly she's an angel

In a glowing gown of white

With a golden halo

And silver wings in flight

Sparkling like her name

Which means shining light.
