Abe's Memories

Memory #3: It's happening!

Abe was sitting in his office at home, going through his email when he suddenly heard Janine's scream. He shot out of his seat, around the desk, and ran to be by her side so fast that his speed rivaled that of a Strigoi. When he finally saw Janine, she was laying in her bed, soaked in her sweat and panting for breath. Abe hurried to her side and quickly took her hand in his own. He had no idea what was happening, so he did the best thing he could do. He stayed by her side and gave her support.

"Janine, baby, talk to me. What's happening?"

"Water... Broke. Baby... is coming!" Janine replied around her gasps, pants, and screams.

"What? We need to get you to a doctor!"

"No time. I'm sorry, sir, but Miss Janine is too far dilated for us to move her. If we do, you could risk loosing the baby." Janine's home nurse/midwife said.

Abe had hired her to help Janine. Well, now it's time.

"Well then, it looks like we're having her here then." Abe said, sounding defeated and afraid.

For the next several hours, Abe held Janine's hand and wiped her forehead as the sweat condensed and she battled with the labor of child birth. He couldn't stand to hear her pained screams, but he did. All so he could be there to support her. Finally, after a long day, Abe heard the most precious sound. Abe could hear his baby's cries. He watched in wonder as the midwife cleaned his baby, wiping the blood away with a warm cloth. His face broke into a massive grin and Abe breathed a sigh of relief as he watched her carrying his daughter in the direction of where he sat, by Janine's side.

As the midwife laid the crying baby girl in Janine's arms, Abe suddenly realized that his world held more than just Janine now. He, Ibrahim Alexandar Mazur, was a father. He had fathered the 21" long, 5 pound, brown eyed baby girl resting in Janine's arms. The tears silently caressed Abe's cheeks, just as a smile climbed it's way up to his lips. Rose's cries had yet to cease, so Janine passed a baby Rosemarie to Abe, who had risen to receive his daughter. As soon as he had a firm hold, he clutched her tiny body close to his own, letting her rest. Abe watched as her cries began to silence themselves and her head lolled ever closer to his chest.

"You, my little kizim, are my everything." He whispered to the sleepy baby resting in his arms, before letting himself gently settle into the seat beside Janine's bed. He lifted his gaze to Janine's briefly before it returned to his beautiful daughter.

A/N:

Hey y'all! I know it's probably been a while, and this chapter is considerably shorter than the others, but... I have no idea what the hell goes on for child birth.. Not yet anyway. But I have a treat for you! And I'm sure you'll be able to guess here in a little while! But, until then... PLEASE leave me a review and tell me if there are any special moments you want Abe to have with Rose before... Well... You'll have to read to find out :P

And, for those of you who noticed, yes, my pen name has changed. It used to be ShadowhuntingDamphir2014... It is now DamphiricAngel2014. Anyway, you know where that pretty little button is... Right down there.
