Author's Notes: My mind tends to keep me up late at nights, and when an idea hits… I have this tendancy to write it down. In doing so, this little gem popped up…. Key piece of advice when reading this fic, don't believe everything you read as being sound, and true.
Prologue
"Just one more push!" The nurse shouted to Elisa as she screamed out in pain as the baby was coming, and fast. "You're nearly there… keep pushing…"
Elisa looked at the woman, tears streaming down her face, she didn't want to push, she didn't want this to be happening, not now. "It hurts!" She screamed, tears flowing faster, the baby shouldn't have been coming… it was too soon.
"Just one more push!"
"No!" She screamed, trying to move her arms, but they were bound with leather straps to keep her from escaping, as were her ankles.
A familiar touch caressed her shoulder, and she turned to him, his red hair, cool grey eyes looking back at her with tear filled eyes. He knew it wasn't time either. That it shouldn't have been happening. "Matt… I don't want this to be happening… pl-please make it stop…" she begged him, but he couldn't do anything, she knew.
"Do you have to do this!?" Matt demanded the doctor's and nurses as Elisa let out another scream of pain, her breathing was deep and erratic, and she was refusing to push.
The doctor looked at Matt, then nodded to one of the nurses, who injected something into Elisa's arm.
"What the fuck was that!?" Matt demanded again, he got no answers, and so he turned back to Elisa. He wanted to touch her face, wipe away her tears, let her know it was going to be okay. But his hands were handcuffed to the metal bar on the bed.
Elisa looked up at Matt, her breathing was shallowing, and she couldn't feel the pain anymore, "I love you…" she told him, swallowing, and as she felt the grip of the nurses hand on her arm, she turned away from him.
"One last push," the nurse told her.
Taking in a deep breath, Elisa pushed, and pushed hard… she screamed out loud as the sharpest and deepest feeling pain she had ever felt before came through her lower stomach, and uterus. But the painful feeling was dulled when the large mass exited her, and the sound of a infant's cry filled her ears. She blinked, trying to sit up and see the baby, but the doctor's and nurses worked quickly and soon the baby was wrapped and being taken out of the room. "Please, let me see her!" Elisa cried out, looking at the doctor who merely looked back at her before pulling the sheet down over her legs and, with the other nurse, left.
She turned to Matt, eyes filled with tears, "Matt…" she breathed.
He slid the chain of the handcuffs further along the bar, trying to touch her face, but couldn't, "I love you Elisa… I.. I'm just so sorry, that I did this to you…" he cried.
"Are you kidding me?" she laughed, feeling her breathing growing increasingly more difficult as she spoke, "These last eleven months… th- they've been the best months of my life."
"But I killed you…" Matt said, moving his hand along to hold hers in his. "I killed you, your chances of living… of being able to raise your child."
"Th-there is a way…"
Matt looked at her quizzically, "How?"
"D-do you rem-remember the spell, Demona taught us… if this day ever came…"
He nodded, "But I won't do it."
Elisa swallowed more tears, "You have to save her. Send her to another world. Please Matt, save our daughter."
Matt nodded, tears flowing from his eyes, "I love you baby, more than life itself… I want you to know that," he whispered, leaning over and placing a tender kiss on her lips. As he moved away, she looked up at him, a weak smile on her face. But it faded, and her eyes closed, and Matt could hear her last breath exit her lungs in a rasping tone.
