Unexpected gift

Chapter 10

Gourry followed Amelia inside and into one of the rooms.

"Lay her on the bed Mister Gourry." Said Amelia. Gourry quickly went over to the bed and gently laid Lina down.

"Ok Miss Lina the doctor should be here soon." Said Amelia. Gourry didn't know what was going on.

"So What's wrong with her Amelia?" Asked Gourry.

"She's going to have a baby Mister Gourry." Said Amelia.

"Oh she's going to have a baby…What!""Don't tell me you didn't know, I mean she is quite big and I do remember her telling you that the baby was yours." Said Amelia.

"I thought she was getting fat and I didn't really know what she meant when she told me the baby was mine." Said Gourry. Amelia just shook her head. Lina started yelling out in pain.

"I need to get Lina in some dry clothes, so why don't you go wait outside." Said Amelia.

"yea sounds good." Gourry went over to the door and hit the wall. Amelia laughed at him. Gourry shook it off and went out the door and shut it. Amelia helped Lina out of her wet clothes and put her in a clean night gown. Gourry stood outside the room standing up against the wall. Soon he started pacing.

"Lina's going to have a baby I…I just can't believe it." Said Gourry to himself. Soon the doctor and Phil as well as a couple of maids carrying some water and towels came down the hallway. Gourry stopped pacing and stood against the wall once again.

"Is she in this room?" Asked the doctor.

"Yeah." Said Gourry. The doctor nodded and went into the room and the maids followed behind him. Phil looked at Gourry and smiled.

"I'll go get us some chairs." Said Phil as he left.

The doctor went over the edge of the bag and sat his bag down on the ground and started getting things ready. The maids set the water and towels close to the doctor. Amelia took one of the towels and wiped the sweat of Lina's forehead. Amelia went over to the maids.

"You can go now I'll help the doctor." Said Amelia. The maids bowed then left the room.

"Ok I need to take a look and see if your ready to start pushing." Said the doctor, then he started to open Lina's legs, but Lina closed them quickly.

"No I don't want some guy I don't know looking down there." Lina Yelled.

"Miss Lina He's the doctor he's here to help you deliver the baby." Said Amelia.

"I don't care!" Said Lina Yelling.

"Well then Miss Inverse I guess your on your own then." Said the doctor. Lina was so much in pain that she knew she couldn't do it on her own and she also knew there was no way Amelia could deliver it so she really had no choice.

"Fine just don't stair to long." Said Lina not yelling as loud as before. The doctor went back and opened her legs and examined her.

"Well Miss Inverse your ready to start pushing anytime now." Said the doctor.

"Good I want this thing out of me." Said Lina.

Meanwhile out in the hallway Phil had come back with two chairs and Gourry and him were sitting. Phil was calm, but Gourry was a whole other story. He's legs were moving up and down he would also get up and sit back down in his chair, he was a nervous wreck. Once Gourry calmed down some Phil put a hand on his shoulder.

"Don't worry Gourry Lina well be just fine." Said Phil.

"Thanks Phil, but it's not just that I'm worried about Lina, It's just so hard to take this all in." Said Gourry.

"I know parent hood is a scary thing, but there's so many good things that come with it." Said Phil.

"Hmm like what?" Asked Gourry.

"Well knowing that you helped created a life and knowing no matter what you well always love them and they well love you back." Said Phil. Phil smiled at Gourry and took his hand away from his shoulder. Gourry thought about being a dad, but the thought just scared him and was the kid really his. It was just to much for his little brain to comprehended. Phil heard footsteps coming down the hall and saw that it was a Zelgadis.

"Hey Zelgadis, long time no see." Said Phil. Gourry looked over and saw Zelgadis.

"Zel good to see you." Said Gourry.

"Hello you two what's going on?" Asked Zelgadis. Before ether of them could answer there was a loud scram in the bedroom.

"Who was that?" Asked Zelgadis.

"Oh it's Lina she's having a baby." Said Phil as calm as ever. Zelgadis eyes went wide.

"Lina's having a baby!" Said Zelgadis surprised. Then he looked over at Gourry.

"Let me guess it's yours." Said Zelgadis.

"Um well." Was all Gourry could get out. Then Phil patted Gourry on the back.

"Of course it's his, he's going to be a daddy." Said Phil as happy as ever. Gourry just slouched over and sighed. Zelgadis gave them both a weird look.

"Well this sure is a shocker I guess that's what I get for being gone for so long." Said Zelgadis as he shrugged.

"Would you like to sit and with us and wait?" Asked Phil.

"Nah I think I'm going to go take a nap baby's just aren't my thing (especially one that is Lina and Gourry's)" Zelgadis whispered the last part.

"Hmm ok I'll tell Amelia your back when she gets done." Said Phil. Zelgadis blushed a little at the mention of Amelia, but then just turned around and left. Phil smiled and leaned back in his chair thinking about the time he was waiting for his wife to deliver. Gourry never brought his head back up just looked at the ground with many thoughts going through his head.

Lina was excused, giving birth took a lot out of her. She was breathing heavy and sweating a lot. Amelia tried her best to make Lina feel as comfortable as she could by putting cold rags on her forehead.

"Ok Miss Inverse I need you to give me one more big push." Said the doctor.

"I can't, you push damn it." Yelled Lina.

"Come on Miss Lina I know you can do it you're the strongest person I know." Said Amelia.

"Do I look strong now Amelia." Said Lina her voice still loud.

"If it helps Miss Lina you can hold my hand and squeeze it as hard as you want." Said Amelia. Amelia put out her hand for Lina to grab. Without a word Lina took Amelia's hand.

"Ok Miss inverse I'm ready whenever you are." Said the doctor. And with that Lina took a deep breath and pushed as hard as she could while squeezing Amelia hand tight. Amelia almost screamed out in pain from how hard Lina was squeezing it, but kept it in. Seconds later there was crying.

"The baby's out!" Said the doctor. Lina then let go of Amelia's hand and fell back breathing hard. Amelia grabbed her hand and it was throbbing, she had wished she didn't tell Lina she could hold it. The doctor was cleaning the baby making sure it was ok. Soon as Amelia's hand stopped hurting so bad, she went over to the doctor and looked at the baby. Soon she had a big smile on her face.

"It's a girl Miss Lina!" Said Amelia very excited.
