Jaden felt sick to his stomach, but he didn't know why. He rolled over onto his back, but fell to the floor. He groaned as he walked into the kitchen.
He put a peppermint disc into a cup of tea that he had just brewed. It wasn't better than Syrus's (actually, it was only 10% as good), but it would have to do. He felt it in his throat, and his stomach pain seemed to ease as he sipped it.
He sat in the recliner in his living room, and put a hand to his stomach. He realized that he must've been hungry, or something along those lines.
Yeah.
Yeah, he was definitely hungry.
No question about that.
That was it.
All it could be.
No other way.
He decided to go back to sleep. There was nothing to worry about.
He had woken up in the middle of the night, starting with a scream. He had run to the kitchen, but he had fallen to the floor just a few feet away from it.
"What's wrong with me?!", he yelled to himself.
He began to throw up, right on the ground. He felt awful, like he was going to die. He didn't know what to do. Suddenly, he felt pressure down in his crotch.
He ran straight to the bathroom.
He had been trying to use the bathroom, but he couldn't get up onto the toilet. He was just on the ground, suffering. He did something that he thought was really stupid at the time. He took off his pants and underwear.
He saw blood running down his legs. He bit his tongue to keep a scream in his mouth as another rush of pain went up his spine. For some reason he felt like he had to push. Push, how? Push what? He didn't know what the hell he was doing, but he did it.
He felt something start to come out of him. There was something inside of him, and it was big, too. He screamed as more pain went up his spine. More pain, more and more of it. More. Then, as suddenly as it had started, it stopped. He heard a little noise that sounded like a whine.
He looked between his legs. There was a baby there.
He had been pregnant? He didn't know how, and he didn't know why. He looked at the floor, realizing he had to do something about the baby in front of him. He grabbed a towel out of the cabinet, and wrapped the baby in it. He looked at the baby, then discovering it was a girl.
"Hi," he said in a sweet voice. "I didn't know you were there." It was all he could say. He kissed the baby's forehead. But, she wasn't crying.
He began patting her back. "Cry. Please, cry. I won't let you die now. Cry, sweetie. Cry."
She coughed. Jaden let the tears fall onto her as he kept continuing to pat her back. She moaned slightly, and gripped onto Jaden's shirt. Jaden smiled, and cried softly as he hugged his newborn daughter lightly.
The baby started to suck on Jaden's finger. He groaned, realizing that the baby must be hungry. He had nothing to give her. He would have to warm up come milk, use a medicine syringe to feed it to her. She cried.
"Don't worry. I'll feed you, sweetie," Jaden said quietly, and walked toward the kitchen.
