"Damn it Morpheus, don't tell me to push, I'll do it when I'm damn ready." Trinity spat at him, her wrath flaring from her eyes.
Another contraction convulsed through her body. She longed for one person to be here, just looking at him would make it all better.
But she hadn't seen him in six long months………..and didn't know if she ever would again.
When she'd found out that she'd been pregnant with twins, she'd vowed to keep them safe and never let anything harm them.
So for her entire pregnancy, she'd stayed in Zion. Which had been grueling at times. She had longed for the freedom of the Matrix, where she could do whatever she wanted and damn the consequences, but now she had two children to think about.
White walls surrounded her, Morpheus held her hand on one side of her bed and Niobe stood on the other side. The doctor sat at the foot of her bed, urging her along quietly.
Trinity felt this contraction surge through her like a storm that held her in its epicenter. Gravity seemed to freeze as she watched her stomach contract, a silent scream echoed inside of her body.
Neo, where are you?
The doctor told her it was time to push. Gathering all her strength, Trinity pushed, screaming in pain at the same time.
A lusty cry filled the silent room.
"You have a boy," the doctor's voice was soft as he handed Trinity's son over to the nurse to be tended to.
"One more to go," the doctor nodded for her to push again.
Trinity took a deep breath and pushed with all her might. A soft cry filled the air. "It's a girl."
Trinity collapsed back on the bed, drained of strength. Even though Neo wasn't there physically, she felt his spiritual presence.
Before she fell asleep. "Nicholas and Thora, those are their names." Her eyes closed in exhaustion. Morpheus looked at the twins, the new generation of Zion.
