Chapter 37
Family Life
Me: Today I have Mira helping me.
Mira: Thanks Akari does not own Fairy Tail. Although she is pretty good of a writer.
Me: Thanks Mira now to the chapter.
Finally October came and with it both Lisanna and Bisca were due to have their babies, Lisanna went into labor at 9:02pm on October 11, x794. Her labor progressed fairly slowly so at midnight Wendy went to update Bickslow and the others about how she was doing. "Bickslow." Wendy called to one of the only people left in the guild hall. "Yeah?" Bickslow asked perking up. "Her labor is pretty slow going so it might be a while before she is actually gives birth so if you want you can go home and come back in the morning." Wendy said. Besides Bickslow, Elfman, Evergreen, Clarissa, Freed and Mirajane were there waiting for news of Lisanna. "It's late so I think we'll head home and come back tomorrow." Evergreen said as she burped Clarissa. "Same here." Mira agreed.
"That's fine but I'll stay, I'll see you guys tomorrow." Bickslow replied. They bid them goodbye and went home to sleep then come back the next day to see how things were going. "I know you are staying but why don't you go sleep on a cot in the storage room, I'll come update you at 3am." Wendy suggested. Bickslow agreed and went to sleep until Wendy would come to give him an update on Lisanna. True to her word Wendy gave him an update and said she would come back at 6am for another update. "Bickslow." Wendy said waking him up. "Oh, Wendy good morning." Bickslow said sitting up. "Here's some coffee, there isn't much to report its still slow going she's doing fine." Wendy said giving him a mug.
"Thanks for the update I'm gonna head to the main part of the guild." Bickslow said. Wendy went back to the infirmary and then returned again at nine for another update she did so every three hours until it had been 24 hours since Lisanna went into labor. After that she was needed to remain in the infirmary and couldn't give any more updates for them. "It looks like the baby is in a breech position." Porlyusica said to Lisanna. "What does that mean?" Lisanna asked tiredly. "It means that the baby is facing feet first and if it is born that way there is a possibility that its head will get stuck and possibly suffocate." Porlyusica said. "What else?" Lisanna asked concerned. "There is a possibility that if born that way it will come out just fine but it is a big risk, so not taking a chance we could do a cesarean section." Porlyusica answered.
"What's a cesarean section?" Lisanna asked panting from a contraction. "It's where we put you to sleep and then we cut the baby out and then stitch you up again. Of course the recovery time will be longer than a normal birth but it is the safest way with a breeched baby." Porlyusica explained. "Is there any other way?" Lisanna asked. "There is a possibility that the baby will turn at the last minute so if you would like we can wait to see if that happens." Porlyusica said. "I'll wait." Lisanna said. They waited for 12 hours and both Wendy and Porlyusica were opting to do the cesarean section but still Lisanna wanted to wait, from that point on both Lisanna and the baby were monitored closely by Wendy using her magic. Then at 2:30pm October13, x794 things took a turn for the worse, Lisanna's heart rate was dangerously low and so was the baby's.
Unfortunately Lisanna was unconscious from her heart rate being so low and the stress she was under. If nothing was done both Lisanna and the baby could die but that meant that they would need to do a cesarean section and they needed permission to do it and since Lisanna couldn't give it Bickslow would have to give it. Porlyusica stayed to care for Lisanna while Wendy went to tell Bickslow what was going on and ask for his permission. "Bickslow!" Wendy called him. "Wendy what's going on are they alright?" Bickslow asked running up to her. "Um actually that's why I'm here. The baby is in a position that makes it dangerous to be born and there is something called a cesarean section otherwise called C-section that we can do to take the baby out. Lisanna wanted to try to give birth normally but now both her and the baby's heart rates are dangerously low and if we don't do anything one or both of them could die. We need your permission to do the C-section since Lisanna is unconscious due to heart rate being so slow and the stress her body from the baby." Wendy explained as quickly as she could.
"If it will save their lives I want you to do it." Bickslow said in a depressed tone. "Don't worry we will do everything to make that happen." Wendy said reassuring him before she sprinted back to the infirmary. "He agreed." Wendy said as she again began to monitor them. "Good I have everything ready so let's start." Porlyusica said. "Hurry she went into cardiac arrest." Wendy said. Porlyusica quickly opened her up and took the baby out handing it to Wendy to watch while she used her magic to resuscitate Lisanna. Wendy quickly noticed that the baby wasn't crying and she did everything including turning it upside down and spanking it. The moment her hand connected with its bottom a shrill cry escaped from its mouth as they took their first breath. Wendy then quickly cleaned it up and put a diaper on it placing it in a bassinet before rushing to help Porlyusica. "She isn't responding we need to sock her." Porlyusica said.
"How?" Wendy asked flustered. Just then as if he knew what was happening Laxus came in to see what was happening. "Quick Laxus we need you to shock her to get her heart started again!" Porlyusica demanded. Laxus walked over to the bed and placed his hands on her chest and spoke. "Step back." He said. They did and then he sent a current of electricity through her making her body jump. "It didn't work." Wendy cried as she monitored Lisanna. "Again!" Porlyusica ordered. "Step back." He said again shocking her. "It's not working!" Wendy wailed loudly. "Get back!" Laxus ordered her. He sent another shock through her and Lisanna gasped as her heart began to beat again Porlyusica quickly rushed to check on her.
"Stay for a while we may need you again." Porlyusica said as she stitched Lisanna back up. "Wendy I know you're frightened but you need to calm the baby down." Laxus said putting a hand on her shoulder. The baby screamed not knowing what was going on and it was terrified by its surroundings and the screams and shouts of them. Wendy quickly rushed to the baby picking it up cradling it close to her cooing words of comfort to the baby trying to soothe it. After a while the baby calmed down falling asleep in her arms and Wendy hummed softly to them. "You can go now Laxus." Porlyusica said letting him leave. "Wendy you go bring the baby to their father, I'll stay and watch her." Porlyusica said. "I will but I'm going to wash my face." Wendy said handing the baby to Porlyusica.
Wendy finished washing her face and took the baby leaving the infirmary with it cradled in her arms. "Bickslow." Wendy said softly. "Is everything alright?" He asked looking up at her. "Just fine, I thought you might like to see the baby." Wendy said. "Can I hold them?" Bickslow asked. "Here you go." Wendy said putting the sleepy baby in his arms. "Boy or girl?" He asked looking at the small bundle in his arms. "Boy." Wendy answered. "Jacob." He mumbled. "What did you say?" Wendy asked not hearing him clearly. "I said his name that we chose, Jacob Anthony Stone." Bickslow said. "What a great name." Wendy said. "Can I see her?" Bickslow asked. "Sure she's asleep but you can if you want." Wendy said. "Thanks." Bickslow said giving her the baby before sprinting into the infirmary.
"Oh Wendy how is Lisanna?" Mira asked approaching her. "Sleeping we nearly lost her." Wendy replied. "Oh no, what about the baby?" Mira asked frightened. "Here see for yourself." Wendy said putting the baby in her arms. "Oh their alright." Mira sighed in relief. "Yup he's perfectly healthy." Wendy said. "Wendy are you doing alight?" Romeo asked joining them. "I'm f…" Wendy said before falling backwards. "Whoa." Romeo said catching her before she hit the floor. "Poor Wendy must be exhausted, Romeo bring her home she can come back later." Mira instructed. "Good idea see you later." Romeo said carrying her bridal style.
A few days later Bisca had her twins and all the babies had been born and the guild was full with dirty diapers and new faces. Everyone was happy especially Wendy and Romeo because of her helping so much they never really had time to spend together as a married couple. It was a general consensus among the new parents in the guild that there wouldn't be any more additions for at least a little while.
