"My water just broke."

Oh my god. Oh my god. My water just broke, MY WATER JUST BROKE! Okay, okay, this is alright, the baby is only three days early, everything will be okay. Mum was calling out to everyone what had happened and it was a mix of panic and excitement. Can someone just get me to a car?

"Come on little dhampir, time for the show." Adrian said with a wink as he led me to his SUV. If I wasn't about to have a baby I would seriously hurt him right now. I felt a contraction coming on, damn it, this is gonna be a long day. Why am I thinking like that? My baby girl is coming into the world, today I will become a mother.

Crap, it would help if these contractions weren't happening though. Adrian was driving, I was shotgun and Lissa, Fireboy and mum in the backseat, the others thought it best if they caught up with us a bit later.

"Just keep taking deep breaths Rose, In, out, in, out." I took her advice but it didn't do much for the pain.

"Does it hurt?" Sparky inquired. The idiot.

"Yes, you moron." Was he that thick?

"Gee, I am so not going to let this one go." He piped.

"Stop it Christian, you know that I'm going to be going through this soon, leave Rose alone just this one time." Thank you Liss.

"How are you feeling Rose?" mum asked.

"Just peachy, I'm only having a BABY!" We had just arrived at the hospital and Adrian was driving me along in a wheelchair, he was pretty quiet, wonder why that was.

"It's okay Rose, keep calm we're nearly there, just keep breathing." Mum was offering advice. I'm going into labor, wait – I'm in labor! In, out, in, out. "My daughter is in labor!" mum shouted at the nurse at reception. Way to keep calm.

"This way please." Adrian wheeled me to where the nurse was pointing, mum, Liss and Sparky in tow. Another contraction, urgh, they were getting closer together. I was taken into a room and got onto it, it even hurt to move. Lissa just cringed, what's wrong?

"Lissa, are you okay?" another cringe.

"This probably isn't the best time, or maybe it is the best. Well, my water just broke too." Squeak. This is so exciting. Ow! Another contraction. Lissa was led into the next room with Christian following closely behind, he looked pretty nervous, if only he knew what he was in for. Adrian stayed right next to me, holding my hand the whole time.

"Miss Hathaway, how far apart are your contractions?" the doctor asked.

"Not sure, Adrian, what do you think?"

"Well if it's every time you cringe then I would say about two minutes apart." At least one of us knows.

"Okay well that is great, I am expecting a smooth birth. Just stay calm." He said before leaving the room.

-One hour later-

"Push!" For goodness sake! I feel like I'm being ripped in half. Can't she just come out already? Another push.

"Come on little dhampir, nearly there, another push." He pulled a cool cloth over my forehead. Another push.

"Let's go Rose, you're being so strong." Mum encouraged me. Another push.

"That's great, I can see her head." The midwife informed me. Her head! She's nearly here. The pain isn't slowing down. Another push.

"Rose, come on, just one more push." Adrian said, squeezing my hand. One final, painful, scream worthy push. I heard the most beautiful sound, a baby's cry before I blacked out.

-When Rose wakes up-

When I woke up, every part of me hurt, I instinctively put my hands to my stomach, momentarily forgetting what had happened. Adrian was right next to me.

"Where am I?"

"We are in the hospital Rose" he was still holding my hand. The hospital. I had my baby! Where is she? Where is my little angel?

"Where is she? Why isn't she here?" I need my baby in my arms.

"She's in the nursery, they were just waiting for you to wake up. I'll go get the nurse to bring her now." Oh my gosh, I'm going to meet her in a few minutes. A couple of minutes later Adrian returned, a nurse closely followed and in her arms was a little bundle in a pink blanket, all I could see was the top of her head, it was covered in dark brown hair.

I propped myself up in the narrow hospital bed, she was walking closer and I knew she would be in my arms extremely soon. The nurse now stood right next to my bed and I could see my baby's face, she was the most gorgeous baby I had ever seen but I am quite biased.

"Can I hold her?" I whispered.

"Of course." She handed her to me and she fit perfectly into my arms. I took in every part of her perfect little face, she had my eyes, dark brown with a twinkle in the corner but she had her father's mouth, perfect. She gave me a smile and it was exactly like the way Dimitri used to smile at me; breathtaking and knowing, like she knew everything that was going on in my mind. Lissa just walked into the room with her own blue bundle, her and Christian both had huge smiles on their faces though Liss looked pretty tired.

"Liss, you look tired." I never took my eyes of my darling daughter as Adrian pointed out the obvious.

"Well as much as this little guy was worth it, I am never doing that again." As she came closer I saw her baby boy and he was so cute, blonde tufts of hair and piercing green eyes, a little bit of both his parents.

"Me too, by the way, you're son is adorable." too much pain. I'm happy with just my baby girl.

"Thank you. You're daughter is also incredibly precious." Two minds who think alike.

"So girls, any names?" Adrian asked. Christian was still admiring the baby in Lissa's arms, I think that he will love being a dad.

"Actually yes," Christian said. "This little guy is called 'Jake Andre Adrian Ozera.'" Adrian looked shocked but proud that his name was mentioned. "In honor of Lissa's brother and Jake's birth father and godfather?" that was nice of them.

"I'd be honored. I think you'll be a great daddy; Fireboy, congrats." Adrian said seriously. "And how about you Rose, any ideas to name the little sprog?" the nerve. I was still admiring my little girl, she was staring straight back at me, I actually have the perfect name for her."

"Indeed I have. Presenting, Selena Janine Lissa Hathaway." Lissa beamed even harder. "In honor of her godmother, if you would accept." I said looking at Liss.

"Of course Rose, how could I resist such a beautiful girl, and if I say no, her mum would kick my ass." She knew me so well. Wait – where's my mum?

"Does anyone know where my mother is?" She was here when I was in labor. They all looked at each other, they were hiding something. "What? What did I miss?"

"Uhh… she is in the hall at the moment, you have another visitor that just arrived." A visitor?

"Who is it?"

"… your dad." My dad? The mobster who I have only met once has decided now to become a dad. Or a grandfather, what a scary thought. No, this is a new day, I am a mother (still scary), I'm not the rebellious, selfish Rose that I used to be, a changed woman.

"Can you bring them in?" they all looked shocked.

"Sure." Adrian said before he went out the door. He returned within seconds. Mum and dad safely following.

"Hello Rose, you look exhausted," Gee thanks mum.

"Well I guess having a baby does that to you. Hi mum.. Hi dad." They looked more hopeful and a they saw the little package in my arms they smiled from ear to ear.

"And who is that youngster?" Dad asked and mum put her arms out in a way for asking to hold her, I unwillingly let my baby out of my embrace.

"This is Selena Janine Lissa Hathaway." Mum was cooing to Selena.

"Thank you Rose, she is very cute, she looks just like you, you know."

"I like to think so." I replied honestly. Lissa and Sparky started walking backwards, she gave me a look saying that they were leaving now but wouldn't be far. Arian stayed right next to me and held my hand once again.

"Rose –" Adrian begun but was interrupted my mother.

"has she been fed lately?" I couldn't reply because I actually didn't know. I looked desperately at Adrian.

"Well I think it is nearly her feeding time." Obviously she doesn't need breast milk, I was slightly disappointed. "I'm sure you can ask the nurses for help." I guess he wanted some privacy with me, I was sad when my parents walked out of the room with my angel in their arms but Adrian wanted to say something.

"Okay Adrian, what do you want?" I asked almost rudely, well I just had a kid and I'm tired. He looked a bit hurt.

" I just wanted to talk to you, we haven't had any time to ourselves."

"Ok fire away." I rested back onto the bed. What shocked me is that Adrian started to get out of his seat, let go of my hand and got down on the ground, he must of dropped something.

"Rose Hathaway, I love you and always will, I will always look after you, and Selena. So I ask you now, will you marry me?"
