ZiZi hugs and ZiZi kisses xoxo
,,And are you sure you want this Flori ?'' Malcolm kissed her on her pulse point, petting her big clothed bump. Both sitting on sofa in living room.
,,Yes love, please. What could be better time than now ?'' Florence moaned, stroking his head, as he kept on caressing her neck with his sweet kisses. ,,Ethan just left, and we have plenty of time…''
,,And what about babies ?'' Malcolm looked at her seriously now.
Her face expression a bit irritated.
,,What said doctor before he left to the countryside ?'' Florence repaid to him his look.
,,That they are alright and you still haven't got due date for three following weeks, and when he is back, everything will be well, and you don't have to be afraid of anything…'' he was slowly chewing words like a school boy in front of teacher.
,,See, babies are okay, so come here please…don't tell me you don't want it ?'' her naughty smile coming back.
,,Yes I do but-''
,,Don't tell me you don't want me,'' she bit her lip, her smile widening.
She trailed her fingertips on his chest teasingly, lining the hem of his collar, stroking up around his neck and brushing his beard with her thumb.
She had her loosen skirt, and loosen blouse with quite big cleavage, embracing her bigger breasts. Her brown hair was a bit longer, since Malcolm convinced her to let it grow, but not too much, and she on repay convinced him to let his beard when he wanted to shave it, because he looked much more prettier with his beard.
As she gently tug him closer to her cleavage, he inhaled with closing eyes, and she knew he wants…
,,Yes I do want you,'' he breathed against her neck, licking at her pulse point once again.
,,Mmmhh-love, Malcolm,'' she whimpered when his hand caressed her left breast, gently working her ample mammary when his fingers slipped under the fabric of her blouse. ,,Ahh-ge-gently bear…'' she hummed when he tweaked her nipple, since she was very sensitive at her breasts now.
Her hands rubbing his chest through his white shirt, suddenly she felt big kick.
,,Oh !''
He recognized it wasn't from pleasure.
,,What is it darling ?'' Malcolm quickly backed away, and to her belly.
,,Nothing, they're just…a bit 'loud' today…come-come here,'' Florence nodded as that slight pain disappeared, reaching for him with her hands.
He nodded a bit worried, but he narrowed himself and captured her plump lips in loving kiss, his hands on her bump, caressing, trying to make her relax…and perhaps even himself.
,,Mhh !'' another whimper with another kick, but this time it was like the baby kicked her and the pain ripped through her to her lower back.
,,Are you sure everything is alright ?'' Malcolm was now really worried, checking her belly, since he felt that kick as well.
She wanted to say her protest but once she parted her lips to speak, only loud scream coming out of her, with another , much stronger kick, and her thighs trembled, her lap going wet, it was pretty visible on her dark colored skirt.
,,Florence,'' Malcolm looked at her inquiringly.
,,M-my water !'' she gasped for air, feeling another stroke coming.
,,Dearest, you're in labor !'' Malcolm cheered, but she seemed to react otherwise.
,,Do you think ?!'' she growled ironically, breathing through another contraction.
,,But our doctor is not here !'' he realized how dreadful situation just become.
,,But I can't wait till he comes back !'' Florence desperately whimpering in pain, explaining to Malcolm her state.
,,I know I know…'' he rapidly tried to figure out what to do. ,,Why the damn we haven't ask him to let here midwife for a case you could-''
,,-Malcolm, go. And find. A doctor,'' Florence was now trying to steady her breathing as she practiced, biting through next contraction.
At that moment Ethan walked into hall.
,,Ethan !'' Malcolm jumped up rushing to him.
,,I'm so sorry, I just forget something in my room, I'm off right away,'' he smiled at Malcolm, but suddenly his smile faded when he saw Florence hardly standing up, holding her bump and harshly breathing.
,,Good you come back ! We need to find a doctor !'' Malcolm supported Florence who stepped to them whimpering.
,,Victor !'' Ethan didn't hesitate, and run out of residency before Malcolm could react.
,,Victor-ahh…Victor Frankenstein ?'' Florence asked, when Malcolm guided her slowly upstairs.
,,Yes love-''
,,-Thank God…everything will be okay, I-Ahh-I'm sure,'' she nodded yelping, in the middle of hall.
Malcolm helped her to bedroom, and up on bed. Still breathing harshly, she was holding her big bump, trying to calm down herself.
,,Shall I help you somehow ?''
,,Jus-just be here please, a-and hold my ha-hand,'' Florence hardly swallowed reaching for him desperately.
She was scared, from her labor, from lack of doctor or midwife, from pains, from babies, and the most from being alone there. She needed support, and needed the person she was most addicted on in past year and half. She needed her husband. Her husband who was her support since they start dating. Who became her lover, who became future father, and who became her protector.
She needed him to know, she's not alone, and…if she could die like this…and as there was that chance, since she was without her doctor, at home, and awaiting two babies to come out of her…there was a still small chance, she couldn't survive her labor. And that's why she needed Malcolm to be by her side, to make her strong and guide her through this all.
Few hours passed, when Ethan's voice finally echoed through residence.
,,Upstairs !'' Malcolm shouted, squeezing Florence's hand with another contraction.
Ethan appeared with Victor in doors.
,,Good day Mrs. Murray. I need to tell you one thing first-''
,,-Victor I'm glad you're he-Eeeehhh-re,'' Florence cried, breathing rapidly.
,,I'm not a specialist on labors, BUT my very good friend is, and I send for him, he is in other part of city-''
,,God-I don't care, just get them out of me !'' Florence growled desperately, her head lolling back.
,,Alright, Ethan I need warm water, and towels-'' Victor nodded, walking in the middle of bedroom, and putting on carpet his bag with his medical stuff ,,-Malcolm I'm going to ask you to leave…''
,,NO !'' Florence suddenly screamed, clutching Malcolm's hand tightly in hers.
,,Victor please I can't !''
,,But you shouldn't be here-''
,,-I don't care, I need him here !'' Florence was whimpering way more.
,,Fine,'' Victor nodded.
Ethan brought warm water and towels and Victor immediately set them for future cleaning babies.
Ethan rather left downstairs, waiting for another doctor.
,,Skirt must go down, now,'' Victor nodded, and with Malcolm's help he took Florence's skirt off, with her undergarments.
Rightening sheets below her.
,,You see, that doctor friend of mine, taught me few things, but I can't do whole labor by myself…'' Victor assured.
,,Ye-yes,'' Florence was harshly nodding.
,,So now don't be afraid, I need to check, for how much you are dilated…''
,,I am what ?'' Florence yelped, since her doctor never told her about labor by itself.
,,Just relax, breathe and let me check…I'm not going to hurt you I promise,'' Victor assured her, but she was rather more stressed.
She felt his cold fingers down between her thighs, and it was a bit strange. Yes he was once between her thighs, checking if her babies were still, where they should be, but it wasn't with his fingers, but with some instrument, and it was long ago…
,,Good, as the newest medical-'' he wanted to start explaining, but when he saw her shocked and already exhausted face, and then Malcolm's shocked face, he rather shortly announced ,,-just be calm, and don't stress, it's not healthy for baby, and for you too-''
,,Babies,'' Malcolm corrected.
,,Babies ?! You're having twins ? Oh dear Lord…alright, ehm…fine I...I just…yes, everything is alright. It's like a normal labor, and they are alright, and they will be out soon,'' Victor nodded uttering, calming himself.
His first labor and twins right away. Not usual process. Not usual anything. But still it should be normal, and he couldn't frighten woman in labor !
He disinfected all his instrument, including his hands, while Malcolm was soothing desperate Florence.
Another two hours passed, and Victor was getting more stressed than Florence, since he announced ,,I can see the top of head of one baby…alright, with another contraction, Florence push.''
Wiping her forehead with his sleeve Malcolm soothed, kissing her blushed sweaty cheek ,,You can do it love, I'm here for you.''
He wasn't there for her first wife, but Florence was someone else, she was someone. Intelligent, witty, grown, engaging woman who loved him, and he loved her more than anybody on earth, he realized during all those months of her pregnancy, and he became as much addicted on her as she on him. And he was determined to be there for her and their babies.
,,Push !'' Victor nodded when she yelped , her head raising, her eyes squeezed closed, and through bedroom ripped her loud cry of pain as she pushed.
Head was slowly coming out, after two more pushes, and Victor cheered ,,You're doing well !''
He didn't know if he was talking just to Florence or to himself too, since he never did such think as labor, and he felt like he also could faint every following second.
,,Once more !'' Malcolm encouraged squeezing her hand, when she screamed, and Victor cheered again that head was out.
,,Alright, now there are shoulders to come, and then it should be easy-''
,,-For you maybe !'' Florence growled exhaustingly, falling heavily to mattress.
Malcolm wiped the sweat from her forehead once again, making her smile.
Always so caring…I love him, and I wish to our babies to be healthy, and to finish this with no complications…
Florence closed her eyes dreamily for brief two seconds before another stroke forced her to scream and push.
As she was determined she pushed harder and not only that shoulders came out, but the baby slid out completely.
A small baby cry spread on the room, as Victor held bloodied screaming baby.
,,It's a boy !'' he smiled, letting Florence breathe through with blissful smile on her face, and he cut the umbilical cord, taking baby to warm water, cleaning him.
,,The other doctor is here !'' Ethan invaded the room bringing black haired man with browner type of skin.
,,Victor, how are you doing yet ? Nice to meet you Sir Murray, I am doctor Jekyll,'' man greeted, giving a hand to quite pale Malcolm.
,,Nice to meet you,'' Malcolm nodded, squeezing his hand before coming back to Florence.
,,Why are you staying here, you shouldn't be-''
,,-I DON'T GIVE A DAMN !'' Florence yelled instead of greeting.
,,I understand now, I'm so sorry ma'am…I'm specialist and taught about labors, you can trust me, please don't upset, I didn't want to…Victor great job yet !'' Jekyll was so quick, putting his own bag on carpet.
,,What a boy ! Alright, Ethan already told me, you're having twins, so let's check the other baby,'' Jekyll nodded smiling trying to be nice to Florence.
,,Al-alright,'' she nodded, when another man was checking her private zones…
Her eyes rolled up, and her head fell against soft pillow.
Ethan was in hall, he couldn't hear it, and yet couldn't be there, even if he wanted…as he didn't.
Malcolm soothing Florence as much as he could. Victor was nearly done with cleaning baby boy and Jekyll was doing his best with another baby, which was almost out of Florence.
,,,GOD !'' she screamed, her tears rolling down her cheeks, when another baby cried loudly in Jekyll's arms, and blood covered white sheets below her.
,,It's a beautiful girl !'' Jekyll smiled, cutting cord ,and bringing her to Victor, wiping to towels himself and taking boy on his arms carrying him to Florence.
,,Love we do have boy and girl !'' Malcolm nearly cried too.
,,Yes,'' she was rapidly breathing, trying to calm down, knowing there will be successor of family and little girl as princess.
,,Here is your boy,'' Jekyll handed to Florence her son. ,,And now I will control you, if everything is alright,'' he announced.
,,Meanwhile he checked Florence and assured her, she will be alright, Victor has other news for them.
,,What a beautiful boy !'' Florence cried from happiness holding her son, kissing him.
,,What's taking so long with my girl ?'' she quickly tried to look down on discussing Jekyll and Victor.
Victor stood up, holding baby wrapped in towel.
,,I am so sorry but-''
,,No ! NO ! There can't be any 'but'…give me my girl !'' Florence cried, panicking.
,,But she is-''
,,NO ! She can't be ! She was crying ! Before two minutes she. Was. Crying ! I want her, give her to me ! Now ! Give me my baby !'' Florence cried hardly desperately, trying to stand up.
,,Lay down you shouldn't be standing up or walking for another hour or so, here,'' Jekyll quickly stepped to her, understanding her fear, and handing her baby girl.
,,Love, my-lo-love, mommy was waiting for y-you more than eight months, a-hh-and now, now it's time to wake up, and see the world, my beautiful girl,'' she soothed both babies. One crying, the other not.
,,Florence I-'' Malcolm wanted to say something, but she stopped him.
,,Malcolm no, I don't. Believe. It. It can't be, she can't be…I don't believe it, Vanessa, this little loud darling, is your little brother James, come to see him,'' she cried, trying to wake her. Kissing her forehead several times, since James was already quiet.
,,Florence,'' Malcolm leaned to her kissing her forehead, and soothing her weeping form.
,,It's too late Mrs. Murray,'' Jekyll announced.
,,I don't. Believe. It ! Vanessa can make it…Vanessa, she had the strength of scorpions, she told me….I believe my Vanessa can make it, she will carry her name and her strength. Come on darling please wake up, I know you're not lost !'' Florence kissed her once again, her tears slipping down to little baby's face.
,,My little scorpion,'' she whispered almost breathlessly against Vanessa's forehead.
Be true darling, Lord please don't take her !
For few moments was nothing than breathing echoing across the room, until Jekyll spoke again.
,,I am so sorry Mrs. Murray….''
He leaned to her crying form wanting to take baby from her.
But then…a cough. A small noise, coughing from Florence arms.
Her wet squeezed eyes flew open immediately, looking at little Vanessa in her arms, who gasped with her little mouth, crying.
She was crying.
And it was heavenly music.
,,She made it ! Florence you are incredible !'' Malcolm cried blissfully.
,,She is…our little scorpion, and this little sleepy peep too, to have enough of energy to be without food…he's crying hungrily for long right James ?'' Florence cheered in direction of both babies.
,,Right you can breastfeed them now, we won't be interrupting, but then I will tell you what's next, now have a rest…'' Jekyll walked with smile on his face out of room with congratulating Victor.
Doors closed.
,,Love…you brought her back to life,'' Malcolm breathed amazed.
,,Not me…she made it,'' Florence kissed Vanessa's forehead and James's too, ripping buttons of her blouse to feed them both as they both were crying.
,,I love you Florence, you have done a great job…and we have beautiful family….''
,,Yes,'' she kissed him exhausted, and gratified when both their babies suckled on her nipples, drinking her milk.
