Chapter 2: Princess
It had been almost a year since the wedding when Morgan felt it. She and Sky were scrying when the image of a child appeared in the center of the flame. Morgan knew instantly it was her and Hunter's child, the one that she was carrying that very moment. Her hands flew to her flat belly and a grin spread across her lips.
"Morgan...Earth to Morgan... Are you there?" asked Sky as she waved her hands in front of Morgan's face in an attempt to bring her back from lala land.
Morgan didn't reply but she did send Hunter a witch message.
"Hunter, come home now we need you its important"
"I'll be there in 5 mins" He replied.
Sky watched has Morgan grinned and rubbed her belly and after a short while, it dawned on her "OH MY GOD MORGAN!" Sky yelled "ARE YOU PREGNANT?!"
Morgan nodded and replyed "Yes but shhh I want to surprise Hunter"
Just then Hunter came running into the room "Are you two ok?" He asked breathless from running
Morgan simply smiled at him and said "Sweetie, Do you feel that?"
"Feel what?" Asked Hunter as he cast out his senses. He picked up on both Morgan and Sky's auras, the 2 cats, the flowers, trees, animals... everything but there was something else there... something odd. He contrasted more onto the unknown feeling and realized it was an aura, that of a female but not Sky's nor Morgan's, yet the feeling was coming from Morgan... How Odd...
"Love... I can't be right but I think I sense a-"
"Baby" Morgan finished the sentence for him, before reaching out, taking his hand into hers and placing it onto her flat belly.
"Our baby... half of me and half of you" Morgan whispered to him as tears of joy flooded her eyes and began to fall down her cheeks.
Hunter beamed as he realized what was happening "I love you so much" he whispered back to her as he wrapped her slender figure into a tight, loving hug. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The days turned to weeks, Weeks to Months, and before the couple knew it, it was November. Morgan was now 9 months along and at the point of crying each morning she awoke still pregnant because she knew she would have to face another day the size of a small house.
"Hunter" she wined, in a way that made it sound like 20 syllables instead of 2
"I'm so fat and ugly" she complained as she looked into the mirror.
"Shhhh no your not Love" He replied in a soothing voice "That's not fat, that's our daughter and I love you more and more each day for giving her to me" he kissed Morgan's neck softly and said "You at so beautiful and I love you more then you'll ever know"
As he wrapped his arms around her from behind, an event happened that would change both their lives forever- Morgan's water broke. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*5 Hours Later*
Hunter sat on the bed leaning against the backboard with Morgan between his legs leaning against his strong, tone chest. He held one of her hands in his while rubbing her contracting belly with the other, all while murmuring soothing spells in hopes of helping her threw the pain. Morgan laid against him as she panted and moaned threw the pains that wracked her tired body one after another.
"Hunter, I can't take it any more" Morgan sobbed "It hurts so bad"
Hunter could almost feel her pain. It was killing him to see her going threw something like this, knowing he was part of the reason for it. And that there was nothing he could do to make the pain go away.
He wiped the sweat and tears from her face with a wet rag and asked the midwife how much longer till Morgan would deliver.
The midwife checked and found that the baby was right about to crown.
"See Love" Hunter said "You can do it, its almost over. All you have to do is push a little and all this will stop and we will have our baby"
Morgan looked at him and said through her teeth "That's EASY for YOU to say I don't see this child coming out of YOUR body!"
He took that as to mean "SHUT UP OR I WILL MAKE IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR YOU TO EVER DO THIS TO ME AGAIN" and a witch as powerful as Morgan could most definitely do that so he kept his mouth shut.
"Morgan Hunny" the midwife said "I need you to give me a big push to bring your daughter into the world"
Morgan grabbed Hunter's hand, squeezed her eyes shut and pushed as hard as she could screaming as she felt the baby emerge from her body.
Hunter watched in awe as a perfect little girl came out of Morgan.
As soon as Morgan heard the new born let out a powerful scream she breathed a sigh of relief and let her exhausted body fall against Hunter.
The midwife placed the baby onto Morgan's breast and Hunter reached his arm up to keep the baby from falling, knowing Morgan was much too weak to hold the child herself.
Morgan opened her eyes and looked at the beautiful child she and Hunter had created and whispered "You will be named Moira, and forever be Our Princess"
