A/N: Tis the miracle of life! Up close and personal!
Achilles was speeding like a maniac in the BMW, blowing all the lights, ignoring all signs and pedestrians. Briseis held onto the handle in the car as he drove.
"Achilles! The way you're driving the baby's gonna fall out of me!"
Achilles kept concentrating on the road, and then called his cousin on the speaker phone, who was playing video games still.
"Hey! I'm on the final level of this new game that just came out today!" Patrick yelled happily into the speaker phone
"Don't tell me that you spent all day doing that!" Achilled yelled back in a stern voice
"Um no, not at all!"
"Get over to the hospital, Briseis is going into labor"
"Did her water break in your car? Cause I heard-"
"Patrick! Just get there! And call Hector"
"Ok!"
Patrick hung up and kept playing his game. He was so into it that he didn't stop until after he had finished the level and did a little victory dance that he decided to get dressed to go to the hospital.
After he got dressed he finally heard the music that was being played downstairs in the club. He did another little dance as well. He started dancing towards the door and stopped.
"Oh yeah, call Hector" Patrick said as he reached for the phone
At the Troy estate, everyone was sleeping except for Paris. He was sitting in the study reading a book. He was unable to sleep, as he hadn't slept since he last saw his cousin, Briseis. The phone rang, and he walked over to answer it.
"Hello"
"Hey is Hector there?" Patrick asked
"It's 4 am in the morning, who is this?"
"I'm Patrick. I'm calling to let Hector know that Briseis is in labor and they're going to the hospital now" Patrick said as he was fumbling around with his PSP.
"She's what!"
"In labor. You know she's gonna squeeze the baby out"
"Oh yes. I'll tell him. Thank you!" Paris hung up the phone and quickly ran upstairs to his brother's room.
"Hector! Hector!" Paris yelled as he burst into his room
Hector and Andrea were both sleeping. Paris jumped into their bed and the two woke up in a fright.
"Hector!" Paris yelled out
"What are you doing Paris? Do you know what time it is?" Hector said as he sat up
The baby started to cry from the other room and Andrea got up to tend to the baby.
"Hector, Briseis is in labor, she's going to the hospital now"
"She's going now!"
"Yes now!"
Hector quickly got out of bed.
"Ok, I have to wake father up. And get Andrea and the baby. I'll take too long, you go to the hospital first, and we'll meet you there"
"What?"
"Oh come on. We can't all miss it! Just go now, and we'll catch up!"
"Alright!"
Briseis was in the labor room, dressed in her hospital gown sitting there breathing heavily. Achilles ran in and saw her there.
"Are you alright?" he asked as he held onto her hand, she pulled away and then hit him instead
"What do you think? Look at me! Do I look ok?" Briseis yelled out
Achilles wondered if it were the hormones or the pain she was in that was causing her to act like this. The doctor walked in to check up on Briseis.
"Hi, it says here you're started to dilate" the doctor said looking on the chart
"How much longer! I want drugs!" Briseis said as the sweat was forming on her forehead
"I can't give you the drugs yet, we have a specific window where we can administer it, and we have to wait until you're more dilated"
"What am I suppose to do until then?"
The doctor looked over at Achilles. Briseis looked over at him, and then grabbed a fistful of his golden locks and pulled his head onto the bed.
"Briseis!" Achilles yelled out
The doctor said nothing and quickly left the room. It would be a long night and day before this was going to be over. Briseis yanked his head back up and then down again.
Paris was running through the hallways of the hospital searching for her. He heard her screaming and ran towards the room. He opened the door and saw Briseis banging Achilles' head on the rail of the bed. Paris laughed a bit.
"This is all your fault!" Briseis was screaming out
"Briseis!" Paris said as he walked up to her, "Stop beating the father of your baby. You need him alive right now, you can kill him later"
"What for so he can do this to me again!" Briseis fumed
"Hector is bringing everyone. My father will take a bit longer to get here"
"I'm not waiting for them to give birth! God this hurts! A LOT!"
"I'll get the doctor" Paris said as he left
Briseis screamed again, still holding onto Achilles' hair.
"Are you pushing?" Achilles asked
"NO! I'm in too much pain to push!"
The doctor came back and checked under the gown.
"Ok, it's time" the doctor said
"Give me drugs!" Briseis screamed out
The doctor called in the nurses and such to begin the procedure. Paris walked over to Briseis as he didn't want to witness the miracle of birth up close and personal.
"You're too far dilated for the drugs now" the doctor said
"WHAT! NO! You said there would be drugs!" Briseis screamed
"It's time, ok get ready to push" the doctor said
"Get this thing out of me!" Briseis screamed
Achilles looked at Briseis as she was not the same women he thought she was, glowing and loving. Briseis grabbed onto Paris's hand as the doctor told her to push. She screamed and screamed as she tried to push.
"You did this to me! You bastard!" Briseis yelled at Achilles, "Look what you did to me!"
Achilles was impressed by her newfound strength, he tried to pull her hand off his head, she didn't let go until she screamed again, and then he held onto her hand. She screamed again.
Paris winced in pain as Briseis was crushing his hand and screaming.
"Briseis, please, just push so you can get it out of you" Paris said
"What do you think I'm doing! Watching TV!" Briseis screamed at him while she crushed his hand more. Paris fell onto the bed as she crushed it more.
"Ok, cmon just push, one more big push" the doctor said
"This is what Andrea felt when she gave birth!" Briseis cried out
"No she was in labor for 36 hours" Paris replied
"Get it out of me! Get it out of me now!" Briseis screamed
"Push Briseis" the doctor said
"I'm pushing! I'm pushing!"
"I see the head" the doctor said
"I hate you Achilles! You did this to me! I hate you!"
Achilles seemed to be afraid of her in a way, as he had never seen her like this. Her eyes were fierce as if she really would kill him for this. He reached over to push her hair aside.
"Don't touch me! Look what you did the last time you touched me! I hate you! This is all your fault!"
Paris couldn't help but laugh a little. Achilles eyes narrowed in on Paris's laughter.
"Briseis" Achilles started
"Don't Briseis me!" She squeezed his hand more, and he fell onto the bed as well, "This HURTS! I'm never having sex again!"
Achilles looked up at Briseis as she screamed this out.
"I wish I was still a virgin! I hate you Achilles!"
Briseis was screaming off the top of her lungs, the entire wing awoke to her screams. Her lungs collapsed as her last scream ceased. She fell back onto the bed, as the sweat was cooling off her forehead. She released Paris and Achilles's hands and gasped for air. Paris pulled his hand away and tried to get circulation back into it. Achilles reached up and touched Briseis's cheek.
"Congratulations. Your baby is healthy" the doctor said as he held the baby.
"What is it?" Achilles asked as he was rubbing his hand that Briseis used as a stress ball.
"It's a boy" the doctor said
What will they name it? What will happen next? Have Paris and Achilles come to some sort of truce? Wait and see what's in store...
