RATED M FOR MATURE…JUST TO BE SAFE!
Chapter 11
Saya opened up her eyes slowly and yawned. Sitting up in bed, she saw Hagi in the corner of the room.
"Did you sleep well Saya," he asked, ever the faithful chevalier.
"Surprisingly so, the babies are getting antsy each day," she replied, laying a hand on her stomach.
In less than two months, Saya had started to look like she was an eight-month pregnant human. Julia had said that the babies would be born sometime this week.
Climbing out of bed, she got dressed. She put on black sweat pants and a pink shirt. Walking out of her room, she went to check on Diva.
"Diva…are you awake," she asked, knocking on the door.
"Yes, come here Saya," Diva beckoned her sister. Saya walked into Diva's room and saw Amshel and Lulu there. She sat down on the bed and watched as her sister combed out her hair.
"Any day now big sister…and you'll be a mother," Diva replied.
"Yes, but I hope you'll all help me raise them…we are a family after all," Saya said.
"That we are…now come on. We have to go check out the nursery Kai and Lewis put together last week," Diva said excitedly. Pulling Saya along, Diva walked into the nursery.
The room itself was painted purple with blue and red roses (courtesy of Saya and Diva). There were two dressers and cribs for each of the babies. The dressers were full of clothes that Diva had picked out and Saya had agreed upon. Stuffed animals lined the dressers and window sill. In the corner there was a rocking chair decorated with a painting of a blue and red rose (courtesy of Saya and Diva again). Say walked over to the window and looked outside.
"It's a beautiful day…why don't we all go for a walk," Saya suggested. Diva nodded and within minutes everyone was gathered outside.
They had walked to Julia's clinic to see how everyone was doing. Stopping, Saya clutched her stomach. "Saya, what's wrong," Kai asked worried.
"I think it's time Kai," Saya said as a contraction started and caused her to grimace in pain. Hagi picked up Saya and they quickly headed for the basement.
One month ago, Julia had set up a makeshift hospital room for Saya down there to use when the babies were born. Hagi laid Saya on the bed as Julia ran in.
"Are you ready for this Saya," Julia asked. Saya nodded nervously. Julia had her change into a hospital gown and ushered the others upstairs.
In the upstairs waiting room…
"Why did Julia send us upstairs," Kai asked frustrated.
"She doesn't know how quickly Saya's labor will progress and if something goes wrong she'll have to do a c-section," Diva stated.
"Then shouldn't someone be with her," Kai asked angrily.
"Julia was my physician too kai. Trust me…she knows what she's doing," Diva replied.
In the basement…
Saya gritted her teeth in pain as another contraction tore through her. This had been happening quite often in the last ten minutes.
"You're already ten centimeters dilated Saya, on the next contraction I want you to push," Julia commanded. Saya nodded.
She didn't have to wait long because a minute later a strong contraction hit her. Bracing herself, Saya pushed as hard as she could. Screaming, she felt like she was being torn in two. Julia looked down and saw a baby's head slowly emerge.
"All right Saya, wait for the next contraction," Julia said. At the next contraction, Saya pushed and screamed at the pain as the baby's head was delivered.
"All right Saya, one more push and this baby's out," Julia said. Saya nodded in confirmation and wondered what the baby would look like. The next contraction hit suddenly and Saya screamed in agony. She pushed as hard as she could and was overjoyed when the pain ended.
Cries from the newborn filled her ears and tears of joy slipped down her face. Her first baby was here!
"Congratulations Saya, you have a healthy baby girl. Now we just have to wait for the other baby," Julia said. Julia cleaned up the baby and put her in a separate room for quiet.
For ten minutes, Saya was happy to not be in pain. So when the contraction hit her she shouted in both pain and surprise. Julia walked over.
"All right Saya…push," she commanded. Saya bore down with all her might. Julia saw the baby's head slowly emerge. Saya screamed and pushed again as a strong contraction tore through her without mercy.
The child's head emerged and Julia smiled at Saya.
"One more push and your second baby will be here," she said. Saya would've nodded but a strong contraction hit and caused her to scream. She pushed with what strength she had left and was overjoyed when her pain ended.
Saya collapsed down on the bed exhausted and breathing heavily. Her second baby's cries filled the air and tears slipped down Saya's face as she blacked out.
When she opened her eyes again, she noticed she was in a normal clinical room. Looking over, she saw that her babies were in a hospital crib only a few feet from her. Julia walked in, followed by Kai and the others.
"You're awake…that's wonderful Saya," Julia said.
"What happened? How long was I out," she asked.
"You passed out from exhaustion shortly after the second baby was born. You've been asleep for three hours. Actually I'm quite impressed, your entire labor only lasted two hours," Julia replied.
"What are you going to name your babies," Riku asked.
"I was thinking of naming the red-eyed baby Hibiki and the blue-eyed twin Kanade…to remember my nieces. But only if it's All right with you Diva," Saya stated as she looked at her sister. Diva looked close to tears and walked over to Saya.
"Of course we can name them after my daughters…and we can raise them together," Diva said. The two sisters hugged and soon the whole room was full of hugs and admiration over the babies.
At Omoro…
It had been two weeks since the babies had been born and already they were the center of attention. Hagi enjoyed playing the cello for them and they seemed to like the music. Saya and Diva would sing them to bed, their voices like angels in the air. Lulu, Riku and Kai played with them during the day. Julia, Amshel and Michael had decided to devote their time to finding a way on how to slowly explain chiropterans to the world. All in all, Saya Otonashi was very happy with her family…both chiropteran and human.
