Chapter 12:The Day Arrives
February had crept slowly over downtown Jump City. It's citizens peacefully resided in their comforting homes while watching their children play in the snow outside. It was february 13th around 8 o clock at night. Raven sat cuddled up against Garfield in a small rocking chair near the fire.
"Any day Raven, it could be any day now"
He softly patted her stomach.
She sighed soflty. The fire released a crackle. The warm glow rose over the two.
"You know Raven, this whole experience is going to change us. Were going to have to be more responsible and something are going to have to change"
He looked down at her. Her eyes were clamped shut in pain. He could tell she was in pain, call it instint.
"Raven? What's the matter, tell me what's wrong?"
Her breathing turned from soft to harsh in a matter of seconds.
Her eyes opened slowly.
"I think it's about time we visited the hospital Gar, because someone want to get out"
He nodded and picked her up bridal style. He ran out the door.
"How are we going to get there"
"I'm going to fly us there"
The cold air hit them like a ton of bricks. He put her on his back and transformed into a large pterodactyl. He flew them over the city. They passed many tall buildings and they went over many clouds.
He reached the hospital and landed on the sidewalk.
He transformed back into his human self and put her down.
Slowly he went to picked her up.
"No! I can walk"
She said trying to walk.
"Look babe, your in a lot of pain and your probably in labor so why don't I just pick you up and we'll go in there"
"It's okay then pain is gone now I can..."
She fell to the fround clutching her stomach.
"Someone really wants to get out Gar"
"I'm definatly picking you up now!"
He picked her up and ran into the building and to the front desk.
"Hello, I'm Garfield Logan, Raven is in labor now"
"Alright then follow me"
They walkd down the many hallways into a small little room. They layed her down on the bed and hook up a few machines to her.
"Hang in there baby, it's all okay now" He ran his fingers through her hair.
"okay Miss Roth lest check you up"
She nodded.
'Well your 4 cm but that should change in an hour or so...if you want I can give the epidural to you"
"yes please" She whispered.
The nurse nodded and came toward her with a needle.
"Oh no, no needles"
"but you need it Rae, it'll make you feel better"
The nurse jabbed it into her skin.
"there we go, I'll be back later"
Raven suddenly felt drowsy and she drifted off into a sleep.
4 hours later she woke up. Her yeslids rose to see the nurse hovering ovr her.
"Whoa! Were did you come from?"
"Down the hall, I'm here to check you again"
"Okay just don't do that again"
"Incredible! In just 4 hours you went from 4 to 8 cm. but then why is your cervix all the way open?"
Gar walked over to her and whispered something into her ear. Raven stared in confusion.
"A HALF DEMON!"
"Shh, yes i just don't want the whole world to know"
"Well this means that's your ready Miss Roth"
She nodded.
"Well then prop up"
"here we go!"
After 30 minutes of hard labor.
"It's a girl!"
"What do you know Raven, you were right"
"Huh"
"She's psychic, she knew"
"O...Okay the time in currently 12:03 on february the 14th...I'll leave you two alone"
"Valentines Day huh?" Garchuckled.
"This is the best valentines day present I'll ever get"
She smiled staring down at her baby.
She had soft winter gray skin like her mother and light green hair lke her father. Her eyes were a beautiful violet and on her forehead was her mother's signature chakra. Only her's was a small red heart.
"She's adorable Raven"
"Ahprodite"
"Huh"
"The Goddess if Love, she was born on Valentines Day, her chakra is a heart"
"Ahprodite..I like it...Ahprodite Hera Logan"
"Techically it would be Roth unless I was married to you"
he pulled out a small blue box and opened it to reveal a small diamond ring.
"Well would you?"
She looked at him and then the ring with tears in her eyes.
"Of course I will"
She slipped the ring on her finger and gave him a warm embrace. She leant up and covered his lips with a passionate kiss he quickly returned it. She broke away.
"Happy Valentines day Gar"
