Chapter 2- Names?
After two weeks of driving all night and staying as off of the radar as possible, Selene was now 34 weeks pregnant and had grown much larger around the mid section. Michael had taken over the driving since she was no longer comfortable behind the steering wheel. Selene was sleeping in her passenger seat when she was awakened by a sharp pain in her stomach that shot down into her hips.
Alarmed by her sudden movement, Michael asked, "What's wrong Selene?" He saw the pain in her eyes as they changed from brown to blue and her face grew red.
"It…hurts…" she barely breathed out.
"What do you mean?" he asked as he looked down to where she was rubbing her stomach… "The baby!"
Selene cried out as she had another contraction, "YES!"
"Oh shit…!" Michael exclaimed, "We are almost there; just…uh…Don't push!" He reached over and held onto her hand tightly, driving well over the speed limit trying to find Adam's apartment. In the past, he may have tried to turn Michael into the "police" but he was still his friend and hoped he might be able to help with the delivery.
A few trash cans and mail boxes later, Michael pulled up in front of Adam's building. "Selene, I'll be right back!" he told her as she screamed again, the contractions were definitely getting closer to each other and more painful.
She grabbed the handle of the door and the empty armrest of her seat as she tried to breathe through the pain. Her knuckles grew whiter and whiter as she let out a blood chilling scream.
Michael was beginning to panic and couldn't remember which number was Adam's. He decided just to buzz them all and listen for Adam to talk over the intercom. When Michael heard his voice, he started screaming into the call box, "Adam…it's Michael…"
"What? Wait, Michael…what the hell are you doing here?"
"No time for that…do you remember the girl I told you about on the subway!"
"Yeah…dark hair, really hot…Michael, what is it?"
"Well, she is in the car-- having contractions and I need your help! Can you come down and help me get her up to your apartment!"
"Michael, are you feeling alright? A woman going into labor is not a joke to play on anyone!"
"Please!" Michael pleaded.
Adam heard the desperation in his voice and felt that maybe Michael wasn't kidding. "Mike this isn't the type of thing you can just spring on someone!"
Selene let out another cry that made Michael get even more frantic. Fortunately, Adam had heard her over the speaker and told Michael he would be right down. He ran back to the car and practically ripped the passenger door off.
"Selene, Adam is on his way down! I need to get you out of the car and up stairs!" She gave him a quiet moan of approval, but when he went to lift her, she flinched in pain. "Selene! God I am so sorry!" He continued to pick her up, even though he could tell he was causing her more pain. Adam came running out of the building and stopped in his tracks when he saw Michael carrying her.
"Adam! Let's go!" Michael shouted impatiently, snapping Adam out of his trance.
Another contraction started halfway up the steps and was worse than any other Selene had had. She grabbed whatever was closest to her hands at the time, to bear with the pain, which at the moment turned out to be Michael's arm and hair.
"Ah…okay, okay…I know it hurts Selene, but we are almost there! Please just hold on a little longer!" he told her. She had one hell of a grip on his hair, until her body fell limp in his arms. "Adam!"
He turned around to see a barely conscious Selene practically falling out of Michael's arms. If he had taken his hybrid form, Michael could have easily carried her, but he was incredibly tired from all the stress and didn't want to scare Adam. He ran back down the steps and took Selene into his own arms and began to charge up the rest of the steps.
"317 Michael, it's unlocked!" he yelled. Michael ran ahead and opened it, walking into a very plain room with one window, holding the door open for Adam and Selene.
"Go…in the bedroom—take the comforter off the bed and get some towels…they're in the hall closet!"
Michael let go of the door and ran into the nearest room that looked like a bed room. He quickly pulled the top cover off of the bed and ran to get the towels. Adam put Selene down on the soft blue bed sheets and propped her up with all of the pillows on the bed. He had done a rotation in the Maternity ward after Michael disappeared and prayed that he remembered how to do everything.
First, he checked to see how far Selene was dilated…"Well you are definitely going to have this baby now! Michael…let's go with those towels!"
Selene had another contraction and grabbed two fistfuls of the sheets. This one seemed hurt so badly, but now they really all seemed worse than the one before and she clenched her jaw and did her best to deal with the pain. Michael came in and put the towels down where Adam instructed.
"How far along is she?" he asked, hoping that this wasn't going to be a complicated birth.
"Um…34 weeks, but she is early! I mean-- that can't be good!"
"Michael, calm down! She doesn't need you freaking out; she needs you to be there for her. You need to help her stay calm!"
"Okay…" he answered, calming himself. He sat behind Selene, holding her in his lap.
"Too early!" Selene said between contractions, "Too early!"
"No, don't worry, you are only two weeks early, that's considered full term. The baby is going to be fine!" Adam said reassuringly. He looked up at Selene to see her eyes change from brown to ice blue. She had tried to control her urge to go vampire, but the pain was just way too great now and she couldn't monitor it and concentrate on having the baby. Her eyes began to glow and her teeth grew down.
"What the hell!" He yelled, stepping back, "What the heck is happening to her!"
"Adam…please, I will explain it all later! She needs your help now! Please!" Michael pleaded. It took almost every ounce of strength he had not to change forms, seeing his mate in so much pain.
"Okay…" Adam slowly went back to Selene and her dilation again. "On the next contraction—I need you to push Selene! Can you do that for me?"
She nodded and looked up at Michael, "I'm right here! Just do whatever you need to do…anything at all…I'm here!"
"Okay," she whispered, then turned back and pushed with all she had, right through the next contraction. Another came and she pushed again.
"Great job! Now stop, don't push! We are going to wait for the next big one and you need to push really hard! It's almost over Selene, I can see the head!"
During the next push, Selene drove her nails into the top of Michael's hands and screamed out. It hurt so badly that when Adam told her to stop she almost passed out.
"I only need one more big push! Ready…push!" Adam encouraged.
Selene pushed with all she had, but gave up in the middle of the push due to plain exhaustion. Luckily, Adam was able to get a grip on their child and gently pulled her out.
"You have a daughter!" Adam said as he cut the umbilical cord and wrapped her in a towel.
Tears began to stream down Michael's face as Adam placed his little girl in Selene's tired arms. He then delivered the placenta and stopped the bleeding. He looked up at the new parents' faces and smiled. Neither Michael nor Selene could take their eyes off of the crying little bundle.
"What are you going to call her?" Adam asked.
"Umm…we haven't really thought about it that much," Michael admitted. He had picked out a few names, but never told Selene any of them.
"Meghan…" she said, "Meghan Leena Corvin." Selene knew Michael loved the name Meghan and she had always wanted a daughter named Leena.
Michael looked down at Selene and smiled, then looked down at his daughter, "Yes…Meghan Leena Corvin."
The little child quieted down and snuggled into her mother's chest. Meghan didn't look like a hybrid; she seemed like a normal human baby whose features were a perfect mix of her parents. Her skin seemed to be a little tan, more like Michael's than Selene, but the deciding factor would be her eyes. If they were brown she would look more like Selene, but if they were blue…vice versa. Either way, her loving parents knew she would look beautiful.
"You three can stay here for a while, until little Meghan is ready go outside with lots of other people," Adam told them.
"Thank you Adam," Selene said, never taking her tired eyes off of her daughter.
"Michael, you should let them rest for a bit, we can go talk in the kitchen…"
"Okay…should try to get some sleep Selene…I'll be right in the kitchen." Michael followed close behind Adam, glancing back to see Selene and their daughter fast asleep on the bed.
