enjoy my babies. or should i say my детеныш's

I was almost 9 months pregnant, and crammed into one of those awfully uncomfortable folding chairs surrounded by hundreds of parents, Dimitri by my side, like he had been every moment the last few weeks.

Andrea's dance recital was apparently mandatory attendance, even if you were about to pop a baby out your neither-regions at any moment. Lissa and Christian had tickets for us before we even knew we were having this baby. But god did Andie look like the cutest thing in the world in her giant pink tutu.

My pregnancy had been pretty smooth sailing, I rarely had morning sickness, I was able to work until I was 7 months, but I was strictly on paperwork duty, Which I hated. I had begun to think that even though this child was something hardly anyone had experience or seen, that I was going to pass this with flying colours. But that was until I had stood up to give Andrea's solo dance a standing ovation and my water broke.

At first I played it off to myself, I had just peed myself, nobody would notice. I could slip off and get cleaned up. But before I could even blink Dimitri was exclaiming in Russian, loudly. So loudly, that the three little tree's on the stage stoped dancing. Everyone was looking at us, thinking what is this crazy Russian doing?.

"Roza, Rose. Your waters broken!" he exclaimed. I stuttered and looked around embarrassed.

"No its not, no shut up. Shh."I said in a hushed voice. Lissa looked over at us and laughed.

"Rose, hunny. Your water just broke. It's no big deal. We could probably finish watching the show first before your contractions even start. It took about 2 hours after my water broke before my first contraction with Rhea and probably longer with Andrea."Lissa said smiling contently at the stage. At this point the trees had started dancing again.

"You're probably right" I said rubbing my stomach. It had felt awfully tight today and it was getting worse and worse by the second.

Dimitri started to say something, but suddenly it felt like my whole stomach was folding in on itself, tightening to the point of breaking. I cried out and curled over. Dimitri was up on his feet lifting me into his arms.

"We need to go to the clinic." Dimitri said making his way through the crowd. This time the dancers had slowed but weren't completely standing still.

"I'm so sorry!"I yelled out as Dimitri ushered me through the doors. "Everyone was fantastic, and ill get that floor cleaned up!" I called back.

Dimitri laughed as he pulled me close as he rushed to the clinic building.

"You're so funny, my Roza." He said kissing my damp forehead.

"Funny."I said breathlessly. Dimitri just smiled at me as he pushed the clinic door open with one hand. I pushed my way to my feet as we entered the sterile smelling waiting room. Dimitri kept his arms under my shoulders as I waddled painfully to the nurses desk.

A tall red headed moroi sat at the closest desk, she had startlingly beautiful blue eyes. Like most Moroi she could be a model in the Human world, instead her she was, having to deal with a triage of crazy people, every day. I had always had a lot of appreciation for the things that both nurses and doctors did. I know that it is a very thankless job often and that they deserve more then they get.

The nurse smiled brightly, shuffling some papers before stretching her long fingers over the keys of her computer, poised to type.

"Rosemarie Belikov. I need to see a doctor, like right nows." I wheezed.

"Hello Dear, what seems to be the matter?" I think she knew, but it was just something she was required to ask, because what if she asked and I wasn't even pregnant, I could be Just fat.

"Well my water just broke." I puffed out before another contraction had me gripping Dimitri's hand until I heard him wince, for some morbid reason I felt relief at hearing his pain, because he deserved it. He did this to me.

"Oh congratulations, how far apart are your contractions?" the nurse asked, her ruby red painted nails clicking away at the keyboard.

"Uhh, I have no idea, is painful an answer? Will there be drugs soon?" I asked stroking my aching stomach. Dimitri clucked his tongue at me.

"They are roughly 7 minutes apart." Dimitri said proudly. The nurse smiled at him and looked up from her furious clicking.

"Oh well done . . . daddy?" she asked hesitantly. Most people had already assumed that I was pregnant via a Moroi but Dimitri was taking the role of father on, everyone knew to him it was going to be no different than if it was his own blood. Which I'm sure he would have done if it wasn't for this miracle child. Dimitri just smiled like an idiot and nodded. I think I heard him whisper the word 'daddy' under his breath, but it could have been the pain hallucinations talking.

"Okay, well it seems like you are coming along rather quickly so we will get you through straight away Rose." The pretty nurse said calmingly getting up from her chair and making her way around. When she got to us she was pushing a shiny silver wheelchair.

"Ah! Am I glad to see you." I laughed a little sadly at the chair before plonking myself down in it. I sighed loudly as my swollen feet dangled freely. "Sweet relief."

"Okay Rosemarie, there's no going back now, you're about to have this little baby in no time." the nurse smiled. Dimitri floated along beside me, his hand still clasped in mine.

When the nurse pushed us through a door into a birthing room Dr Ferguson was already there, and everything was set up.

"When I talked to you last night Rosemarie, I had a feeling I would be seeing you soon. So shall we meet this little miracle." Dr Ferguson's eyes twinkled mischievously as she looked at us. The nurse was completely oblivious to what was going on. She just helped me up onto the hospital bed.

"Do you need me to stay Doctor?" the nurse asked.

"No thank you Ember, you may leave." Dr Ferguson said kindly as she began attaching me to what seemed like 1 thousand machines.

Dimitri made his way beside me and held both of my hands in his.

"Roza," he smiled his eyes glowing. I tried to smiled back, I was filled with such joy but it turned into a grimace as another contraction shot up through my back and radiated around my stomach.

"Oh, wow, oh okay. Well . . ." Dr Ferguson was watching a monitor that had squiggly lines moving around on the screen. It kind of looked like it was reading a heart rate, but it was much less rhythmic.

"Is that mine or the babies heart beat?" I said shocked.

"Neither." She laughed. "it's recording and monitoring your contractions. And my dear Rosemarie, I believe you're ready to push. You're a quick worker love." The doctor worked around me quickly drawing up my dress removing my undergarments. "Now I hope you understand there is no time for pain medication?" she said seriously. I laughed breathlessly and nodded.

"Yes, I understand. We didn't want it anyway. I can handle this." I grunted, my forehead beading with sweat as my stomach churned and cramped.

The doctor gave me a proud smile and disappeared between my legs, making me so glad that I had gotten Dimitri to help me landscape a little the other day, when her head popped back up she gave me a big thumbs up.

"We are ready, red rover." She grinned. "No Rosemarie, I want you to push with your all, I want you to bare down, do what you have to do to get this baby out, grunt, cry, squeeze Dimitri's hand until it turns blue and falls off, what every you think will help, you do it. This is your body and you are the only one who knows how it truly works." She said rubbing my legs calmingly.

She disappeared again and I heard her say 'push' and hell did I push. I did what Dr Ferguson said. I somehow just knew what to do all of a sudden pushing down inside me like my stomach was squeezing in half I gripped Dimitri's hand and pushed. I clamped my teeth together a whimper slipping through my lips.

I could feel my baby move lower. The doctor exclaimed and Dimitri leant forward and laughed.

"Rosie! I can see its head! Oh My it's got a lot of hair! Oh Roza, our детка is almost here." Dimitri grinned, now it was his turn to grip my hands. I laughed softly my eyes fluttering closed and I tried to find some strength somewhere I hadn't used up. I was tired, I was sore, and I was emotional. I wanted this baby out.

"Okay, let's give it one more big push, see if we can't meet this little boo." The doctor encouraged.

I pushed again, hard so hard. Tears were welling in my eyes as I felt this sweet relief as the baby squeezed itself out and into the doctors waiting hands. I was panting my face burning hot. My hands sore from how tight I was holding onto Dimitri and the bed with the other.

My heart squeezed tightly as I watched Dimitri cutting the cord, his eyes were glued the baby like he had never in his life seen a baby.

"Its . . . a boy." Dimitri whispered as the doctor wrapped a soft blanket around him. By this time he was crying his little face red and splotchy.

The doctor handed my baby over to me and as soon as my fingers touched that little child my whole body sang with happiness. There was only ever one person I loved as much as I loved this child and that was my husband. Tears trickled down my face as I looked down into the large chocolate eyes before me.

Obviously he had felt it too because as soon as we touched he stopped crying and just stared at me. His long lashes fluttering as he watched. Dimitri scooted onto the bed and we held him together. One of Dimitri's fingers, clutched in his tiny little pink fist.

"He is beyond perfect." I sang softly, as his little eyes drew closed and his breath steadied.

"There are no words. I never even knew it would feel like this. Like we were bound to him. He is our слово now. You're both my life now and forever. I love you Rosemarie Belikov."He whispered, his eyes glistening with unshed years.

"and I love you, Dimitri. Now what shall we name this little bundle of perfection?"
