Hellboy quietly crept into the room Liz was placed in, so as not to wake her, she'd began having contractions earlier that day. He gazed down at the small form lying asleep on the bed a single white sheet covering her small frame, she had, had a very high fever when he last left her, he sat on the floor next to the bed and laid his head on his stone right arm and placed his left hand gently over her hand careful not to disturb the IV tube in her hand "Red . . ." Liz whispered. "Sshhh, go back to sleep" Hellboy said softly.
"What are you still doing up?" Liz asks
"Staying with you as long as I can, because you know they're not going to let me stay with you when you have the baby" He said looking into her dark eyes
"I don't care what they say, I want you in there with me Red" Liz said softly cupping his cheek in her hand
-- CODE RED! ! TEAMS 1 AND 2 TO LOADING DOCK 3 IMMEDIATELY! !--
"Damn it" Hellboy mutters.
"Go on Red, I'll be fine" Liz says
"I'm not leaving you by yourself Liz" Hellboy says giving her a pleading look
"The sooner you get out there the sooner you can come back" Liz says
"I'll go only because you want me to," Hellboy said standing up and hugging her gently and kissing her "do me a favor would you?"
"Sure" Liz said looking at him
"Keep it up there til I get back, ok" Hellboy said looking back at her over his shoulder
"I'll try, Red" Liz said as Clay comes to the door
"Hey, Red we're waiting on you, come on, don't worry Liz, we'll make sure to get him back in one piece" Clay said following Hellboy out of the room.
"So, what is it this time, poltergeist, dragon, vampire?" Hellboy asked loading the Samaritan with its usual fist sized ammo
"Zombies" Abe said adjusting his respirator
"This should be quick then" Hellboy said as the garbage truck shuddered to a stop and they step out "Let's make this quick people" Hellboy lunges at the nearest zombie.
"Owwh!! " Liz cries lurching forward "Oh God . . . please, not now . . ."
A woman hurries in "Ms. Sherman . . . oh dear . . come on let's have a look here" the woman says pulling back the white sheet covering Liz's lower body "Good, you're coming along fine Ms. Sherman, only a few more Centimeters left, so lets get you prepped and ready"
"No, not yet, please . . . I promised him . . ." Liz said in a ragged voice
"Promised who, Ms. Sherman?" the woman asks looking at her puzzled
"Red, I promised . . . not to have the baby with- Owwwwhh ! ! ! " Liz cries as her water breaks.
"God damn monsters ! ! " Hellboy growled as he finished off the last zombie "Ok guys lets get these freaks out of here"
"You gotta get back to the bureau Red, you're about to become a daddy" Clay said jogging over to him.
"She's . . . oh crap! ABE! ! get your tail in the truck" Hellboy yells running to the truck
"LIZ!" Hellboy called as he looked into her empty room "Hey" Hellboy called to a passing nurse "The woman in this room, where is she!"
"She's in Medical Room B" the surprised nurse says
"Where!?" Hellboy asked
"Just down the hall" she says
"Thanks!" Hellboy said starting down the hall
"Hey! You can't go in there!" the nurse calls going after him
"Liz!" Hellboy sighs going through the doors and seeing her
"Red! Oh God! I don't think I can hold it any longer" Liz whimpers
"You don't have to anymore, besides I think we've put this off long enough" Hellboy whispered kissing her brow
"All right Liz, big breath in and push down! Come on, push, push, push come on" a nurse urged her
"haaaa! " Liz gasps gripping Hellboy's hand
"Come on Liz, that's it, come on, almost got the head out, come on, push, push, there we go, your baby's head is out Liz, now lets get the rest out, come on push down, good, good, ok Liz one last big push all right and push, push down hard Liz!" the nurse says looking up at her as Liz gives a loud groan then falls back against Hellboy
"There we go! Hello little one!" the nurse says happily as the baby begins wailing and moving about in her hands as she holds thebaby up "You have a beautiful baby girl Liz,this is your mamalittle one" she says putting the baby in her arms
"This is your daddy, little baby, he went to a lot of trouble to make it back in time to see you come" Liz whispered
