Forever: The Sequel
Chapter 1:
"Okay, sweetie, one more BIG push, then the baby will be out!" I took a big breath and grabbed onto Jem's hand for dear life and pushed. I screamed once more before the pain subsided, and there was a new noise filling the air. A small wail.
I looked at Jem through teary eyes with relief written all over my face. I must of broken Jem's frail hand because he turned away, looking like he was wiping tears away, but I could tell by the smell that he was drawing an iratze on his hand. I felt bad, but I couldn't help it, the pain of child labor was excruciating.
Magnus Bane, who was delivering the baby, called Jem down to cut the umbilical cord. I caught a glace of Jem's face, and the expression was so joyful, it almost hurt to look at him. He cut where Magnus told him to, and watched while they carried our child away to clean it.
Jem came up and stroked my face. I immediately asked him, "Is it a boy or a girl?" Jem answered quickly "I didn't get a chance to see." I gave him an incredulous look and asked "Didn't see? You were the one down there." "I know, I was too caught up trying not to cut our baby with the scissors because of my trembling hands." He replied softly.
Before I could answer him, Magnus came over with our baby in his hands, wrapped in a little white baby's blanket. He put the bundle in my arms and said "Congratulations, Mommy and Daddy. You have new little addition to your small Carstairs family." I looked at my baby and then up at Magnus, "Boy or Girl?" He put a small smile on his face and shrugged.
I picked up the blanket at the child's chest and peered down. A girl. I have a baby girl. A daughter. I gasped and looked at Jem's anxious face "A girl" I say happily. He lets some his tears fall down his face and repeats "A girl" he lets out a shaky breath, and sits down on the infirmary bed, his eyes never leave her face, it's like they are glued there. He finally looks at my waiting face and says "What should we name her? We had either Lillian or Sierra. Which one do you prefer?" I looked at our daughters face, and replied "Lillian. Lillian Charlotte Carstairs. But can we call her Lily? Like my name is Theresa, but I am called Tessa. So her name is Lillian, but we call her Lily." "Lily is a beautiful name, Lily it is!" He leaned down and kissed me once, then gently kissed Lily's forehead.
"Can we send everyone else in yet?" He asked. "Yes, send them in."
So there you go! The first chapter to the sequel! I hope y'all are excited.! Chapter 2 will be up soon!
Love,
