Liz meant the world to him, she was his angel, his best friend and he'd never forgive himself if anything ever happened to her, or the unborn babies that slumbered in her belly. Hellboy loved her and the babies and would do anything to protect them. He was over joyed when he learned Liz was going to have a baby, but he was ecstatic when he learned she was having two babies, just the thought of it made him smile, Liz loved him and trusted him so much that she wanted to have a family with him, something he thought he'd never get the chance to have
"I feel like a blimp" Liz groaned pulling on a black t/shirt "Probably look like one too"
"You look great Liz." Hellboy said kissing her "Like the shirt, I have one just like it"
"Yeah, well I'm wearing it today" Liz said with a slight smirk "God my back's killing me, better get down to the lab before they send someone to look for me again, you want to come with Red?" Liz asked
"What do you think?" Hellboy said smirking at her and walking out of the room down the hall with her.
"All right Liz let's see how much you weigh" a nurse says as Liz steps on to the scale.
"195 pounds, good" the nurse says "now have a seat up here and we'll have a look at those babies"
Liz pulled her shirt up to just below the bottom of her breasts and smiled up at Hellboy who was leaning against the wall watching her and smiling at her as the nurse passed a scanner across her belly
"Come see your babies, daddy" Liz said motioning for him to come over, Hellboy walks over to her.
"All right here's baby "A" and baby "B" is right over there" the nurse said pointing out each baby "There's baby "A"s spine, legs, arms, and head. Baby "A" has a habit of sucking "B"s tail and "B" is very cuddly, in earlier scans baby "B" would be holding on to "A"s umbilical cord, hand, or tail." the nurse said.
"They're getting pretty big, could this affect how they're born" Hellboy asked looking at the scan.
"No, it shouldn't, they're an average healthy size, they should come easily. We might have a bit of trouble with the baby who comes last but we can easily turn the baby in the right direction if we need to. Everything's fine, babies should be ready any day now" the nurse said helping Liz sit up.
That night Hellboy watched Liz's small form as she rolled from her back onto her side, her hand draped across her large belly her long slender legs drawn up into her long white night gown. Liz's belly had outgrown her usual sleep wear, a pair of sweats and an old T/shirt. She had begun to wear the night gown when she began her eighth month.
Hellboy smiled and brushed a few loose strands of onyx black hair away from her face.
"Red . . . " Liz murmurs
"Shhh, everything's all right, go back to sleep." Hellboy whispers kissing her gently on the cheek, draping his left arm carefully about her waist and stroking her belly.
"Everything's fine, Lizzie. Everything's fine." Hellboy murmured letting Liz snuggle up to him.
"Liz, you feeling all right?" a mans voice asked. The voice belonging to her friend and fellow agent, Clay.
"What? Oh, I'm fine, just some pain, that's all-" Liz said slowly pulling herself up out of the chair she was in.
"All right, if you're sure" Clay said putting a hand on her shoulder to help steady her.
"I'll be fine. I-, Liz starts to say when a jolt of pain shot through her lower back and pelvis. - Clay, where's Red?"
"Last time I saw him he was in the cafeteria eating breakfast" Clay said looking at her.
"Get him for me will you. I'm heading down to the Med wing" Liz said walking quickly down the hall.
Hellboy was just starting on his second cup of coffee when Clay rushed in.
"Red, Liz is heading down to the Med wing, you better get there buddy, you're about to become a daddy" Clay said jogging over to him.
"What! Thanks Clay" Hellboy said getting up and walking quickly down to the Med wing.
