Trinity Blood: Rewired In The Blood

Chapter Four: Daughters of Two Brothers And Two Sisters

Several Months Later:

"Lilith! Hannah is going into labor!" Agnes cried from the birthing room. Lilith raced down the hallway with several large towels, "tell her to hold on!"

"I want to hold her hand!" Seth demanded.

Meanwhile:

Abel looked at Earth with relaxed eyes despite being excited about becoming a father. Cain approached him, "hello Abel."

"What do you want Cain?" asked his little brother.

"I heard that Hannah has finally gone into labor. It's a girl…your baby. Personally I'd like a boy but…I already know that I too will be 'blessed' with a baby girl."

"Why are you here?"

01 took a deep breath, "I just wanted to see how you were doing. After all it's not everyday you get to enjoy the birth of a child…especially yours."

He sniffled, "I want to be with my wife. Excuse me."

The fair haired young man stepped aside and allowed his brother to walk past. Looking back at his big brother 02 was given a carefree smile. Once around the corner the remaining man glared before turning to the planet.

In the birthing chamber:

"Come on Hannah the head's almost out," 04 told her as she peered between her open legs.

"Where's Abel?!" asked the laboring teen.

Agnes dabbed her sister's forehead with a cold cloth, "just focus on pushing this baby out."

"I can't believe that I'll have a niece or nephew soon!" laughed Seth as she held Hannah's hand.

"The head's out. Now give me two big pushes," instructed the oldest of the Sahl sisters.

Pushing as hard as she could Hannah screamed at the top of her lungs. Finally the baby was out and her screams of pain were replaced by the baby's cries of life.

"It's a girl!" Lilith laughed.

All three girls cheered.

"She looks just like Abel," smiled Crusnik04 as she placed the infant in her mother's arms.

06 looked at her baby with love and joy, "so beautiful. I'll name you Asenath since you look so much like your father. Asenath…her father's daughter named after the ancient pharaoh's daughter who aided him in battle…."

She kissed her baby. Just then the future Father Nightroad entered the room and looked at the bundle within his wife's arms.

"It's a girl. I named her Asenath. Would you like to hold her?" asked his bride.

The silver haired youth didn't hesitate he approached the bedside and gently took his daughter into his arms. Tears of joy stung at his ice colored eyes, "I-I think that I'm going to cry."

Later that night:

The new mother laid sleeping when Cain entered the room and walked over the newborn. He took her in his arms, "you're a very lovely girl. I see great things for us in the future…you'll be my wife-my destined lover. I'll love you until the end of days."

After placing the baby back in her crib he walked over to the slumbering dame. Placing his hand on her heart the future Contra Mundi looked at Hannah softly. She stirred awake and almost gasped in fright, "Cain?!"

Looking at her sweetly the older of the two Nightroad brothers whispered, "Hannah for the longest time I've loved you and I've felt a deep connection toward you. However I can no longer overlook the fact you preferred my brother over me…" with that said he ruptured her heart.

His crush fell dead without even uttering a last breath. The Alliance Aerospace Navy captain went to leave the room when he took one final look at the woman that he loved, "apart of my feelings will never change for you…Hannah."

The next morning:

Agnes stroked her swollen belly and felt her baby kick. Joy overcame the lady from the thought of also having her own bundle of love despite the fact that she still wished Abel was the one who fathered it and not Cain. Just then she was accompanied by Abel's older twin, "I thought that you were in here. I take it that you haven't seen your sister yet."

"I'm taking my time so she has time with her new baby. I know that when it's time for our baby to be born Hannah will give me the same courtesy."

He smiled at her.

"You gave me that same smile the day that I told you that we were expecting…" replied the youth as memories came flooding back.

Flashback: Several months earlier

"Agnes where's Hannah?" Lilith asked as she and Seth approached her.

"Where do you think?" came her reply, "She's in the detention hall with Abel. By the way do you know where Cain is I have something important to tell him."

"Cain? I think that Cain's in the control room," replied her older sibling.

"Ok thank you," 05 told them before running off to find the father of her baby.

Inside the control room:

"Oh there you are Cain."

He turned to her with his usual smile, "you're pregnant aren't you?"

"Yes…how did you know?" she asked bewildered.

" I had a feeling this morning that you were. It's a girl…just like what your sister and my brother will have."

"A girl? How do you know that it's a girl? Also how do you know that Hannah and Abel are having a girl…maybe they're having a boy," came her reply.

"Oh it's a girl. I know it is," answered Cain.

End of flashback:

"Did I?" asked the blond man softly.

Just then there was a blood curdling scream from within the hall, "Hannah's dead!!!"

Agnes gasped and went to see what happened. Tears streamed down Seth's cheeks as she screamed at the top of her lungs in despair. Abel came out of the room cradling his lover, sobbing. Lilith held the infant who was also crying.

"Who did this?!" asked 05 in horror.

Looking up from his bride's corpse 02 replied angrily, "It was Cain. I know it was him!!! He killed her out of jealousy-I know he did! He was in love with her and couldn't stand the fact that she was with me! I know that's the case because I could tell by how he always looked at her!"

"Abel calm down!" 04 snapped as she tried to pacify the baby.

The boy with glasses trembled violently from both rage and sorrow, "I'll kill him for this…"

"Abel what did I say?! You don't know if he killed her. It's unlikely because your brother is awfully kind hearted," replied Lilith.

Sadness overcame the red haired seventeen year old as the reality of losing her little sister struck her like a ton of bricks so much so that it caused her water to break.

She collapsed to her knees in umbilical fluid, "somebody help me…"

Later that night:

Hannah's body was placed in a lavishly decorated space capsule to be taken to Earth and buried.

Meanwhile:

Agnes awoken to see that she had given birth to a healthy baby girl, "what happened?"

Her sister looked at her tenderly, "you were so distraught about our sister's passing that your body went into early labor. She's ok though…Cain named her Drusilla. Would you like to hold her?"

"Yeah. Say who took care of Hannah's body?"

"It was Abel and Seth. Cain and I assisted you with the birth…don't you remember?" asked the woman while giving her the newborn.

"No…not really," Agnes replied while looking Drusilla over.

"After you recover we're going to take Hannah to Earth for burial."

The youth looked remorseful, "I was so mean to her Lilith and I was so jealous over her because of Abel. I never got the chance to tell her that I loved her."

"I'm sure that she knew deep down how you truly felt," reassured the red haired woman sympathetically.
