I Want It!
Kara in was atrocious, agonizing, excruciating pain for the next several hours. She just wanted to push and get this baby out of her before it ripped her body apart. At least now she had Barry's hand to hold when these painful contractions came around almost every twenty-five to twenty minutes.
Alex had asked hologram Alura what they could use to decrease Kara's pain. Alura had told Alex the name of the specific food they had on Krypton and when she explained the texture, taste and ingredients of the food, Alex figured that the best substitute to the Kryptonian food was lollypops. lollypops that Alex had gotten earlier for Kara only worked for so long. It wasn't the actual Kryptonian food.
When the contraction came, Kara would release her left hand that held onto Eliza and used her right hand to squeeze Barry's hand. Her strength would break his bones as she could clearly hear them crack in half the second she gripped him. She was just waiting for Barry to tell her to let go of his hand so that he could let it heal.
Barry Allen wasn't a wimp. He could handle the pain. He's dealt with a lot worse. He's been through much worse in his life. This was nothing. The only thing that actually pained him was watching Kara in so much pain with each contraction she had. Her body dilated at it's own pace, but he could feel through her hands and her facial expression that this pain was only becoming worse with each contraction that came around.
It felt like a lifetime for the young mother. By the the time she had finally reached seven centimeters, Kara sat up from laying down and grabbed Barry by his shoulder. "Get. Me. DRUGS!" She yelled.
"No, no drugs, remember?" He reminded her.
"I. Want. DRUGS!" She shouted. "Get me the freaking epidural!"
"Kara, you made us all promise to not let you give in and take the drugs."
"Well screw what I fucking said! I want the damn drugs!" She shouted. "Eliza! Tell him to get me the drugs!"
"Sorry Kara," Eliza told her. Eliza empathized for Kara. She knew how much pain the girl was with, but with Alex it wasn't as bad. It was a long eleven hours, but it wasn't this evil or painful. "You made me promise on a Bible."
"I'm not even religious! I'm...you know!" Kara shouted, glancing at the nurse in the room who was checking Kara's vitals. "I want drugs!"
"Sorry, no drugs Kara." Alex told her. "We're keeping the promise."
Kara shot a death glare at Barry. "Bartholomew Henry Allen, you get me those freaking drugs or I'm getting J'onn and my cousin to rip and shred you to threads."
Barry smirked. "If they can catch me." He told her. He leaned in and kissed her temple. He then leaned into her ear and whispered. "You can do this, Kara. You've been through a lot worse, this is almost nothing."
"Screw you Allen." She muttered. "Now I want a baby boy, just so you'll be miserable without a baby girl."
"I'm fine with a boy."
"Make up your mind! And while you're at it," Kara gripped his shoulder tightly, forcing Barry to howl. "Get. Me. DRUGS!"
I didn't have this planned at first, this was going to be the birth chapter, but I thought it would be funny if Kara begged to have an epidural, yet couldn't because she made everyone promise to not give in.
Poor Kara, but at least Eliza, Barry and Alex are doing their best to support and help her! :)
