~ Hi everyone, hope all is well. Oh you wanted to read about Nancy giving birth? Then I'll stop blabbing and let you read on. ::Sees mob running towards her:: Uh oh, Ahhhhhhhh ::Screams as she runs away::
Donatello got on the phone to call April. Master Splinter had Nancy taken to her room and Michelangelo helped her strip down. Lying on the bed, Nancy gripped her stomach trying to take in deep breaths to ease the pain of the contractions. Michelangelo sat next to her holding her hand.
"That's it Nancy, long breath in, long breath out, long breath in, ack!"
"Mikey," Nancy gasped for air. "Don't," gasp. "Tell me," gasp. "How to," gasp. "Breathe." Nancy loosened her grip on Michelangelo's hand and he started to regain feeling in it. April came in a few minutes later and found Leonardo, Donatello, and Raphael out in the living room. They were about to tell April where Nancy was until Nancy screamed.
"Aaaaahhhhhhh! Make it stop!" April nodded at them and went inside. Master Splinter was posed to receive the baby. He was a little nervous, not knowing exactly knowing what to expect. He knows the basics but has never delivered a baby himself and there's never been a birth of this circumstance. April went to him to offer assistance.
"What can I do?" April said.
"Ever delivered a baby?" Master Splinter asked.
"I saw my aunt do it once," April said. "But it was with a dog and there were several." Master Splinter smiled slightly.
"Go get me the following." April went off to get what Master Splinter needed.
"Nancy with each contraction, you have to push," Donatello yelled from the living room.
"But it hurts!" Nancy yelled back.
"You'll be done faster." Hearing that, Nancy was about to when Master Splinter stopped her.
"You're not dilated enough yet." Frustrated Nancy put her head down. April came back in with the supplies. Splinter took everything and had April help him lay it out in easy reach. There were a few towels, a blanket, a bowl of warm water that was brought in later, and a few other supplies. When Nancy was dilated enough Master Splinter told her to start pushing.
With each breath, Nancy waited for the contraction and pushed as hard as she could. Michelangelo would squinch his face up as if he was trying to help her push each time. After a few hours Nancy was starting to get tired and felt like she was getting no where. Ready to give up, she was surprised to hear April yell.
"I see a head," April cried out. "I see a head!" Nancy felt a surge of energy go through her and pushed harder with each contraction. Soon she felt the baby pass through and heard the first cry. Master Splinter took the baby and instructed April that Nancy also had to push out the placenta, the sac that held the baby. Master Splinter cut the umbilical cord.
"Your not done yet Nancy," Master Splinter said.
"What, the baby's out." Nancy was lost and tired. When Master Splinter explained what else had to some out, Nancy groaned, but started to push again. Half an hour later, everything was out and done and Nancy asked to see the baby.
Master Splinter handed her a green, baby girl. She looked just like a mutated baby turtle but had no shell or plastron. Dark hair covered her head. Michelangelo counted five fingers and three toes. Michelangelo took the baby, so Nancy could rest. He took her out so his brothers could see their niece. After passing her around, they put her to bed in a crib next to the bed Nancy was in, and both were fast asleep.
The baby crying waked Nancy up the next morning. Michelangelo was there in an instant and brought her to Nancy. As she fed the baby, Michelangelo remembers the day Nancy told him she was pregnant. At the beach, she was sitting in his arms and sprung the news on him. Looking at them, he was still amaze, he Michelangelo had a baby. They never thought of the possibility of Nancy getting pregnant, mostly because, well, he's a turtle and she's human. Seemingly the mutation made this possible. When Nancy was done feeding her, the baby fell right back asleep.
"She sleeps a lot," Michelangelo commented.
"Yeah," Nancy said. "You know she did a lot of hard work yesterday," Nancy joked. Michelangelo laughed and then got serious.
"What should we call her?" Nancy shook her head.
"I have no idea," Nancy said. "I didn't even think about looking up any names." A sound from the door got their attention. Master Splinter was there. He walked up to Nancy and asked to hold the baby.
"Of course," and Nancy placed the baby in his arms. He smiled, remembering when his son's where so little. He looked at Nancy and Michelangelo.
"I have a suggestion, for a name," Master Splinter said. "Mechelleen Rose."
"I love that," Nancy said. Michelangelo agreed. Master Splinter handed Mechelleen back to Michelangelo and walked out of their room.
"Mechelleen, our Mechelleen Rose. I love you," Michelangelo said, holding the baby. Nancy smiled. "And I love you Nancy," and Michelangelo sealed it with a kiss.
The End
