A Bakugan Love Story: The Baby Comes
Two months after the baby shower, Alexandria was now entering her last month of pregnancy. Once they took the stuff upstairs to the room, they started to put the baby room together. They put the changing table up and the crib. Keith didn't want Alexandria helping, but she helped him anyway. Once they had that they put the rocking chair in there and found a nice dresser to put in there as well as a book shelf. Alexandria put all the clothes, books, and toys away were she thought it would work nice.
With Alexandria being nine months along, Keith was trying his best to watch out for her. He didn't want to crowd her so he did give her the space she needed. He learned the one time when he was being a mother hen and Alexandria threw stuff at him and band him to the couch for the night. Of course she didn't like that much since she wanted someone to cuddle.
Keith did eventually tell Klaus of what was happening and he understood and would let Keith leave work if he had to for the baby. While Keith was at work though, Mira came over to watch over her since she could have the baby at anytime.
As of now, Mira was over the house as the two sat in the living room watching TV. Pyro took Apollo to the mountains to practice more on his powers.
"So Alex, have you and Keith thought of any names yet for the baby?" Mira asked.
"We did. We thought of it a couple of months ago actually." Alexandria told her.
"Really? Did you throw names around?" Mira wondered.
"No I thought of the first name and he thought of the middle." Alexandria said.
"What is it?" Mira asked with excitement.
"Spencer." Alexandria answered.
"That's a nice name. I like it." Mira said.
"His middle name will be Christopher." Alexandria said.
"Spencer Christopher Clay? It has a nice sound to it. I like it." Mira smiled.
Alexandria smiled as she rubbed her hand against her big stomach. The baby moved around a lot and Alexandria hated to be uncomfortable all the time. She shifted to sit better.
"You ok?" Mira asked.
"I'm fine. The baby is just moving around a lot. Makes me uncomfortable." Alexandria told her.
"Don't worry. Soon you wont have to worry about that, just the sleepless nights." Mira reminded her.
"Don't remind me. I'm trying to think positive." Alexandria said.
Mira nodded.
The ground shook a little bit and they new that Pyro and Apollo were back. Soon the two bakugan flew into the living room in their ball form. They both landed on Alexandria's stomach.
"You two have fun in the mountains?" Alexandria asked.
"Just training as usual. Nothing exciting." Apollo answered.
"Well you're better then you use to." Mira said.
"That's true. Every time you train, you become better and better at it." Alexandria told him.
Apollo nodded.
"What have you two been doing?" Pyro asked.
"Well with me not being able to move much. We haven't done anything, but just sit here and watch TV." Alexandria said.
Pyro looked to the TV and back to her.
"Makes sense since you can't move vary well." Pyro said.
"The baby's due any day now huh?" Apollo wondered.
"Yes. Any day. That's what I'm scared of now." Alexandria said.
"Oh don't worry Alex. Everything will be fine." Pyro assured her.
"Yea. You'll have all of us around." Mira added.
Alexandria nodded with a smile. While they were talking Apollo had fallen asleep and was rolled up against Alexandria on her stomach. Pyro saw him and went over to him.
"Leave him be Pyro he's fine." Alexandria told her.
"You sure?" Pyro asked.
"Yea. Its ok." Alexandria said.
Pyro let Apollo be and the three continued to talk. It was an hour later till Keith came home from work.
A portal opened in the foyer and Keith walked out with Helios on his shoulder. He walked into the living room to see Alexandria, Mira, and Pyro all talking as they watched TV. Apollo was still asleep in the same spot on Alexandria's stomach.
"Keith you're home." Alexandria said.
"Yes I am and how was your day?" Keith asked.
"Nothing really happened. I have been stuck here the whole time." Alexandria answered.
Keith smiled, understanding his wife's situation. Keith went over and sat down next to her on the couch.
"Well since you're back. I'll probably get going now." Mira said, standing up.
"Alright. It was nice having you Mira." Alexandria said.
"Yes. Think you for watching Alex for me. Would you be able to come over tomorrow?" Keith wondered.
"Sure, but I would be a little late." Mira told them.
"That's fine." Keith said.
Mira nodded, waved bye to the two and opened a portal to Vestal.
When she left, Keith wrapped an arm around Alexandria's shoulders.
"I see Apollo likes that spot." Keith pointed out.
"Yes I know. He has been falling asleep on me now and then." Alexandria said.
Helios jumped off Keith's shoulder and next to Pyro.
"You want us to take him upstairs?" Helios asked.
"If you want to." Alexandria answered.
Helios nodded and with help from Pyro got Apollo. They took him upstairs to the room they were staying in.
Alexandria shifted to find comfort.
"Moving around a lot?" Keith guessed.
"Yea. He's been doing it all day. So I have been uncomfortable." Alexandria told him.
Keith placed a hand on Alexandria's stomach. He could feel the baby moving around a little bit.
"Why must you make mommy uncomfortable?" Keith asked, talking to her stomach.
Alexandria giggled at him and put a hand on top of his.
"He can hear you, but he wont understand you." Alexandria told him.
"I know, but it doesn't hurt to try." Keith said.
Alexandria smiled at him and kissed him. She laid her head on his shoulder as he held her close. They just relaxed on the couch together as they watched TV a little bit.
After a while they ordered Chinese for dinner, eating in the living room. When they were done, they watched a movie before they went to bed. Alexandria ended up falling asleep during the end of it.
Keith looked down at her and smiled. He turned off the TV and shook Alexandria's shoulder.
"Alex. Come on hun, time to go to bed." Keith said.
Alexandria blinked her eyes open and looked up at him.
"Huh? What?" Alexandria wondered.
"Lets got you to bed sweetheart." Keith told her.
Alexandria nodded with a yawn. Keith helped her up off the couch and up the stairs slowly. They went into their bedroom and got ready for bed. Pyro and Helios flew into the room.
"Hey we we're going to bed. We thought we would say goodnight to you first." Helios said.
"Well good night to you to." Keith said.
"Sleep good and sweet dreams." Pyro said.
They two bakugan flew out of the room. Keith and Alexandria got into bed.
"Good night love." Keith said.
Alexandria yawned, "Good night."
Keith chuckled and kissed her lips. They laid down and both were soon asleep.
-Morning-
Keith was up and getting a shower to get ready for work while Alexandria was still asleep. When he stepped out of the shower and into the bed room, Alexandria was just waking up. Keith walked up to her and kissed her forehead, her eyes opened a little.
"Morning." Keith whispered.
"Morning." Alexandria yawned.
Keith smiled at her and kissed her forehead again.
"I have to get dressed for work." Keith told her.
He walked over to the dresser and pulled out some cloths. He took the clothes back in the bathroom so he could get ready.
Alexandria sat up in bed and yawned again. She whipped the sleep from her eyes and threw the covers off her. She stretched a little and got up out of bed, witch took a little bit.
Keith walked out to the bathroom when she got up. He handed her his tie and put it around his neck to tie it. When she was done she flattened it against his chest.
"There, now you look ready for work." Alexandria said.
"I hope I do. If not I would get yelled at." Keith said.
Alexandria smiled and kissed his cheek.
"You taking Helios with you today?" Alexandria asked.
"Yea. Plus I might take Apollo. He said he liked going there." Keith answered.
"Well that's nice that he found something to occupy himself." Alexandria smiled.
Just then Apollo came flying into the room.
"Hey Keith are we going to leave soon?" Apollo asked with excitement.
Keith chuckled at the small bakugan, "Yes we are. Now go get Helios and we'll leave." Keith told him.
Apollo rushed out the door.
Both Keith and Alexandria chuckled at him.
"So energetic." Alexandria said.
"He is, can't blame him though. He's still very young." Keith said.
Alexandria nodded.
Just then Apollo came back with a still sleepy Helios.
"Can we go now? Can we go now?" Apollo asked.
"Yes Apollo. We will go." Keith said.
Apollo started to fly around with joy.
"That's my cue to go." Keith said.
"Alright you go do your work. Don't worry about me so much." Alexandria said.
Keith pulled her into a kiss. When he was done his hands where on the side of Alexandria's stomach, which he felt a kick against his hand.
"How can I not worry about you. You are do any day now and I have to go to work." Keith told her.
"I know, but at least I'll have Mira with me." Alexandria reminded him.
"True, but she's going to be late today remember. Who knows what will happen in that amount of time?" Keith said worried.
"I know, but I'll be fine. I promise. Now go before you're late for work." Alexandria said.
Keith nodded. He leaned down to get one more kiss. He made the the kiss deeper for a bit, making Keith wrap his arms around Alexandria's waist and for her to wrap her arms around his neck.
Helios cleared his throat, making them stop.
"Come on Casanova lets go." Helios said.
Keith nodded, giving Alexandria one more kiss and opened a portal to Vestal. All three went inside and the portal closed.
When they where gone Alexandria sighed and went to the bed and laid down a bit. They finally got a TV in their room, so she turned that on and watched it. She laid a hand on her stomach to feel the baby move around and kick now and then.
She wondered where Pyro was, but knowing her, she was out in the mountains for her early morning practice.
Alexandria watched TV for a half hour before she had to go get a shower. She turned the TV off and went to get cloths from the dresser. Just then the ground shook a little, telling her that Pyro was back. She looked at the time and saw that it was only nine, witch is when Pyro gets back sometimes. Alexandria went into the bathroom and set the cloths down on the sink. She looked in the mirror to see her stretched out stomach and it made her smile. Soon she would see her baby and it would be the best day in the world.
What she didn't know was that that day was coming sooner then she thought.
As she reached for the knob for the shower, she felt the baby kicked her really hard.
"Ow. That one hurt you know." Alexandria said.
She slowly got over it, but once she did the baby kicked her again.
"Really active today." Alexandria thought.
There was another kick and that caused her to double over in pain, she gripped the counter top and she fell to her knees. She was breathing hard and that's when she felt something wet between her legs. That's when she realized, her water had broken. She sat down and turned so her back was against the sink cabinet. She breathed deeply and tried to keep calm.
Then she heard Pyro calling her name.
"Alex? Alex, you here?" Pyro called.
Alexandria took a breath, "Pyro!" Alexandria screamed.
Pyro was down in the kitchen and when Alexandria screamed, it caught her attention quickly that something was not right. She quickly flew to the foyer.
"Alex? Where are you?" Pyro asked loudly.
"Pyro? I'm in the bathroom in my room!" Alexandria called.
Pyro flew up the stairs and headed to Alexandria's room. She went to the bathroom and gasped at how she found her partner. She was sitting on the floor and blood was around her legs, she was breather hard as she felt pain shoot through her body.
"Alex? Alex, what happened?" Pyro asked.
Alexandria took a breath, "My water broke." She breathed.
Pyro wasn't really sure what that meant, but she knew it was important.
"Pyro, the baby is coming. I need you to see if Mira can come over. I need her help. Now!" Alexandria gasped.
"I'll get her Alex. Don't worry." Pyro said.
"Hurry Pyro." Alexandria grunted.
Pyro opened a portal and quickly went through it.
-Vestal-
Pyro popped out of the portal in front of Mira and Gus's house. She flew fast and into the doorbell.
Mira was busy cleaning her house since it needed done really bad. It was then the door bell rang. She put down her duster and went to the door. She opened the door to have Pyro fly in her face.
"Pyro? What are you-" Mira started.
"No time to talk. Alex is in trouble." Pyro said quickly.
"Alex? What's wrong?" Mira asked.
"She said she needed your help. Her water broke or something and the baby would be coming." Pyro told her.
Mira gasped.
"Take me to her." Mira said.
Pyro nodded and opened a portal. They both stepped in and went back to Earth.
-Earth-
Alexandria stayed calm and tried to breath right until Pyro and Mira where back. She heard a portal open up in the hallway.
"Alex?" Mira called.
Alexandria took a breath, "Mira."
Mira heard her and went to where she heard her. She got to the bathroom and gasped at Alexandria's state.
"Alex, you ok?" Mira asked, getting down to her level.
Alexandria nodded and then grimaced in pain.
"We should get you to the hospital." Mira said.
"That sounds like a good idea." Alexandria agreed.
Mira managed to help Alexandria up, with much pain as she stood. They managed to slowly get down the stairs. Mira grabbed the keys to the car and they got out of the house. Making sure the house was locked, they got in the car. Alexandria breathed like she was shown to and it helped a little bit, but not a lot.
Mira drove carefully as possible, but also went fast so that they could get to the hospital. The whole time Mira was trying to stay calm herself and to help Alexandria out. She soothed her so that Alexandria would not freak out much.
When they got to the hospital, Mira parked the car and they walked to the emergency room. Of course with Alexandria, she didn't really like the idea of walking right now.
Once they got in, they got helped by a nurse. They put Alexandria in a wheelchair and took her to be put in a room. Mira followed and they managed to have Alexandria in a room by herself and hooked her up to all these machines. They gave her medication for the pain, because Alexandria wanted it. When the nurses left, Alexandria was calmer, but still doing her breathings when a contraction hit.
Mira turned to Pyro, "Pyro, go back to Vestal and tell Keith what happened. I'm sure he'll be here in no time." Mira told her.
Pyro nodded, "You got it Mira. I'll be back soon Alex, ok?" Pyro said.
"Ok, but be quick. Keith needs to be here." Alexandria said.
Pyro opened a portal and jumped in.
Mira went to Alexandria's side and held her hand.
"Everything's going to be ok." Mira told her.
"I know it will. Thank you for coming Mira." Alexandria said.
"I have no problem with coming to help you." Mira said.
Alexandria nodded.
"Lets just hope Keith gets here before Alex freaks out about it." Mira said.
-Vestal-
Keith was typing away on the computer at his desk.
His intercom when off, 'Keith.' Klaus called.
Keith hit the button, "Yes Mr. Von Hertzon?" Keith asked.
'Do you have those listings done yet?' Klaus wondered.
"Almost sir." Keith answered.
'Good. When you have them done, email them to me.' Klaus said.
"Yes sir." Keith said.
Keith turned off the intercom and went back to typing away on the computer. Soon he was done and sent them to Klaus. Keith sighed and sat back in his chair.
Just then a small portal opened and Pyro came flying out.
"Pyro? What are you doing here?" Helios asked.
"Keith you got to come home." Pyro told him.
"Why? What's wrong? What's happened?" Keith wondered.
"Its Alex, she said her water broke and stuff. I went and got Mira and she has her at the hospital." Pyro explained.
Keith got worried. Helios and Apollo got worried as well. Keith quickly got up and walked to Klaus's office, knocking first.
"Come in." Klaus called.
Keith quickly opened the door and walked up to Klaus.
"Keith? What's wrong?" Klaus asked.
"I'm sorry Mr. Von Hertzon, but I have to go back home. Now." Keith said.
"Has something happened?" Klaus wondered.
"Alexandria is having the baby." Keith answered.
"Well, in that case, you can go. Hurry go to her." Klaus said.
Keith nodded, "Thank you Mr. Von Hurtzon." Keith thanked.
Keith turned and walked out of the office. He grabbed his brief case from under his desk and made a portal. Helios, Apollo, Pyro, and Keith quickly walked into the portal and it closed it behind them.
-Earth-
Mira and Alexandria where still waiting for Pyro to come back. Every now and then a contraction would hit and she would hold Mira's hand tight.
"Sorry if I'm hurting you." Alexandria apologized.
"No need. Its fine." Mira told her.
Alexandria nodded and she tried to get comfy again.
Outside the hospital, a portal opened and Keith walked out with the bakugan. He ran into the hospital and asked the nurse where his wife was. She told him and he went for the elevator. When he got to the floor, he ran to her room. He knocked first before he walked in.
"Come in." Mira called.
Keith slowly opened the door and walked in.
"Keith!" Alexandria smiled.
Keith smiled and went to Alexandria's side. He grabbed her hand and kissed her forehead.
"Alex? Are you alright?" Keith asked.
"I'm fine." Alexandria answered.
Pyro went over to Alexandria and landed on her shoulder.
"You sure you're ok, Alex?" Pyro asked.
"Yea don't worry Pyro. I'm fine. For now." Alexandria answered.
Pyro nodded.
Keith moved some of Alexandria's bangs out of her face. She looked at him and smiled, he smiled back at her. He kissed her hand.
The door then opened to show Dr. Windrow walk in.
"Ah, Keith, I see that you came." Dr. Windrow said.
"Yes. As soon as I told my boss what was happening back home, he let me go." Keith explained.
"Well that's good. I just came to check on Alexandria." Windrow told them.
They all nodded.
Dr. Windrow walked over to Alexandria and checked her over.
"Well, you still have a couple hours." Dr. Windrow said.
Alexandria groaned.
Windrow chuckled, "I know it's hard, but it is your first pregnancy, so it will take a while." Windrow told her.
"I figured that." Alexandria sighed.
"Don't worry, I'll come back to check on you in another hour or so." Dr. Windrow said.
Alexandria nodded and the doctor walked out.
"I guess we'll be here a while." Keith said.
"A baby does take time." Alexandria reminded him.
"That is true. Plus its your first, so its the longest." Mira said.
"Yea. Just have to find something to past the time." Alexandria suggested.
"Sounds good." Keith agreed.
- Five Hours Later-
It wasn't till the sun started to go down till Dr. Windrow popped into the room for the 7th time that day.
Alexandria's contractions where stronger now and were very close together.
"Well hopefully this will be the last time I check over you." Dr. Windrow said.
"Better be. I don't think I can take so much pain anymore." Alexandria said.
"Well once I check you over I'll send someone to give you something to numb the pain a bit." Dr. Windrow told her.
Alexandria nodded.
The doctor checked her over again, "Well I say you're about ready. I leave you for a little bit and I'll send down a nurse to help the pain." Dr. Windrow said.
"Thank you." Alexandria thanked.
Dr. Windrow then walked out. Alexandria sighed in relief and laid back a little bit in bed.
"Soon, we'll see our baby." Keith whispered.
Alexandria smiled at him and nodded.
"Soon." Alexandria whispered back.
A nurse soon came in and gave her something for the pain. They had to put it in through her spine, she want's happy about that, but she let it go to help her. After a while some of the pain subsided and Alexandria sighed when it did.
"Better?" Keith asked.
"Better." Alexandria answered.
Soon Dr. Windrow came back in.
"Feeling better after that? I'm sure it's kicked in by now." Dr. Windrow said.
"Yes. I'll glad I got it." Alexandria said.
"Well, I'll give you another half hour and we'll prepare you, okay?" Windrow asked.
"Okay." Alexandria nodded.
Dr. Windrow walked out.
"Alex, I'll be with you the whole time. I wont leave your side." Keith said.
"Thanks Keith." Alexandria thanked.
"Alex, do you want me to stay out in the waiting room when its time?" Mira asked.
"Yes. As much as I would like you to stay, I want Keith with me. Plus you can take the bakugan with you." Alexandria said.
"Of course." Mira said.
They waited until Dr. Windrow came back half an hour later.
"Alright Alex, I say its time." Dr. Windrow said.
Alexandria nodded.
A nurse lead Keith out to put him in scrubs.
Mira got up with the bakugan.
"Mira, if you could, call my mom and tell her what's going on?" Alexandria asked.
"Sure." Mira answered and walked out.
Keith walked back into the room with the green scrubs on.
Keith grabbed Alexandria's hand, "You ready?" He asked.
"As I'll ever be." Alexandria said.
"I'll be here the whole time, I wont go anywhere." Keith told her.
"Thanks Keith." Alexandria smiled.
Keith kissed her forehead.
Dr. Windrow then had nurses come in to help out and they have their things with them.
"When I say so, start to push, ok?" Dr. Windrow said.
Alexandria nodded.
Dr. Windrow set herself up.
"Alright Alex. Start pushing." Dr. Windrow told her.
Alexandria took a breath, squished Keith's hand, and started to push.
-Waiting Room-
'Oh, Mira, dear. I'm glad you called me. I'm going to come over there.' Jade said.
"If you want to." Mira said.
'I need to.'
"Well, I'll see you soon."
'Ok, dear. Bye.'
"Bye."
Mira closed her phone and put it back in her pocket.
"Is she coming?" Pyro asked.
"Yea. She wants to be here." Mira said.
"I wouldn't blame her. It is her grandson." Helios said.
Mira nodded and sat back in the seat she was in.
Apollo was near Pyro.
"Will Alex be ok mommy?" Apollo asked.
"She'll be fine sweaty." Pyro told him.
Apollo moved up under Pyro's wing.
The four waited for about an hour till Jade walked into the waiting room.
"Mira?" Jade called.
Mira waved her over and she sat down beside her.
"Do you know how she is?" Jade asked.
"Nope. I haven't heard anything." Mira said.
"How long has she been in labor?" Jade wondered.
"Since this morning. When Keith left for work, that's around nine." Mira told her.
"The first is always the longest." Jade said.
"Alex is your only child." Mira pointed out.
"I know, but that's because I can have anymore kids."
"I never knew that."
"Yea. I was sad about it, but I was find with just Alexandria. She was a good little baby."
Mira chuckled.
"Good. That's an understatement." Mira said.
"I know she doesn't seem like it, but she was." Jade said.
The two then got silent. They prayed that Alexandria was going to be fine with the pregnancy.
-Three Hours Later-
While Mira, Jade, and the bakugan were waiting in the waiting room. Alexandria was still pushing. Sweat dripped down her face and her hair was a bit damp. Keith couldn't feel his hand anymore from Alexandria holding it tight.
"You're doing very well honey. Almost there." Keith soothed her.
Alexandria looked at him with a smile. She took a couple breaths to calm down from her last push. She was grimacing in pain a little.
"Almost Alex, I see its head." Dr. Windrow said.
Alexandria caught her breath for a moment.
"Ok, push." Dr. Windrow told her.
Alexandria took a breath and started to push again. Someone counted to ten and then Alexandria stopped at the end of ten.
"One more time." People were saying.
Alexandria pushed again, then she felt the pain go away and a sound of crying filled the room. Alexandria fell back against the back of the bed and smiled at the sound. Keith kissed Alexandria's head with a smile.
"You did good Alex, really good." Keith told her.
Alexandria looked at him with a smile still on her face. She looked over to see Dr. Windrow holding the baby.
"Its a boy." Dr. Windrow announced.
Keith smiled more.
"What to cut the cord, Mr. Clay?" Dr. Windrow asked.
Keith nodded and walked over and a nurse handed him scissors and he cut the umbilical cord.
Dr. Windrow handed the baby to a nurse who took him away to clean him up.
"I'll check up on your baby and get back to you. For now, just rest for a little bit." Dr. Windrow told her.
Alexandria nodded and closed her eyes with a sigh of relief.
After about ten minutes Dr. Windrow came back over with the baby in her arms.
"He's perfectly healthy. Nothing to worry about." Dr. Windrow said.
The two smiled at each other.
The doctor handed the baby to Alexandria, who held the little baby in her arms gently. The baby cried a little and then got comfy in Alexandria's arms. Alexandria held the babies hand on her figure. He had brown hair like Alexandria's and then the baby opened his eyes to revile bright blue eyes like Keith.
Alexandria kissed the babies forehead as he cooed. Keith held his hand on his head, moving his hand through his little hair.
"What's his name? Have you thought of one?" Dr. Windrow asked.
" Spencer. Spencer Christopher Clay." Keith answered.
Dr. Windrow nodded and wrote it down.
"Well, we'll take him away for a little bit and move you into a regular room so you can get your rest." Dr. Windrow said.
Alexandria looked down at Spencer, who was asleep in her arms.
"Ok." Alexandria said.
A nurse walked over and took Spencer out of her arms. This caused him to wake up and start to cry again. Alexandria sat back and nurses helped move her to a regular room. Once she was there, the nurses left.
"You get your rest. I'll go get Mira." Keith said.
Alexandria nodded and closed her eyes. Once Keith new she was asleep, he left to the waiting room.
