Chapter 67: The Babies are Here!

Ale's POV:

I had my blanket tossed to the side, and I was only wearing a underwear and a nursing bra. I looked down, and I noticed a puddle between my legs. I was immediately met with a pain in my stomach. I groaned in pain as I felt the contractions coming in fast. They were coming very close together, and Paul said, "I am going to lift you up and take you to the pool in the living room."

I shook my head and with clenched teeth, I said, "no..I need to push now. I won't make it, Paul."

I spread my legs wider, and Paul went down to check how far long I was. I felt Paul tearing my underwear, and tossing it to the corner of the bed. I couldn't see him from my belly in the way, then Paul said calmly, "Okay, Ale. I see the baby head's crowning, so I need you to push as much you can in a count of three."

He shouted, "1..Seth, get your ass in here and call Sue. I am going get behind Ale to support her, I need you to support."

Sigh. I guess Paul's preparation was a little too good since the first baby is already freaking crowning. Seth barged in through the door with a crib and supplies laid in the crib. He said, "I already called Leah. She is bringing Sue, and they are on their way."

Paul said, "2.." and he quickly went behind me. I was leaning against his chest as he lifted my legs up to be resting on top of his elbows. Then, Paul said, "3!"

When I pushed, I screamed simultaneously. I had my nails digging into Paul's thighs, but he didn't pay any attention. I heard Seth saying, "the shoulder's out, I need you to push one more for the first baby."

I pushed again with a loud grunt. Seth then raised up my first son. Paul murmured, "Mateo Qahla Lahote". I just knew from the look of his light russet brown skin with thick black hair, his name will be Mateo Qahla Lahote. I was tearing up as I heard Mateo giving a loud cry.

Paul said proudly with a beaming smile and silver eyes, "there's my pup."

Seth smiled, "He is healthy. His skin color looks good too. He is perfect" when I felt another contraction coming through. I bend over and groaned in pain. Immediately, Seth gave Paul the scissor to cut the umbilical cord, and Seth quickly wrapped him with a blanket and set him down on the crib.

Paul kissed me on the cheek, and he said, "you're doing good, mami. Keep going, I am right here."

I nodded meekly as I pushed again with a scream. I thought women were exaggerating with all the screaming during labor, but here I am doing the exact same thing. Man, I just can't control it.

Seth said loudly, "I see another baby's head crowning. I need you to give me another push, Ale."

I pushed with as much strength that I possibly can, but I notice little by little, I was getting drained from each push. These babies are huge, man.

Seth said, "I know you can do it, the second baby is almost here. Give me another strong push!"

With sweat dripping down my face, I was panting hard. Paul said, "take deep breaths, mami. You're breathing is getting shallow. It's making your strength fade away faster."

I controlled my breath then I gave another strong push. As I grinded my teeth, I heard Leah and Sue coming through. Leah immediately went to check the crib on Mateo, and she started to clean him up. Sue tapped Seth shoulder to stand behind her as she held onto the second baby's shoulder.

Sue said sternly, "you're losing strength too fast too soon, sweetie. I need to get you deliver these babies fast before they start going into distress and you passing out of exhaustion. Give me another push, and this baby will be out!"

Spirits. That push only got the second baby's shoulder to come out?

I was still panting hard with tears coming down on my face from the severe agony that I was going through. Paul gave me another kiss in the cheek, so I gave another push with a belching scream. I felt Sue giving a little pull, and out with the second baby. My back was curved with my head laying on top of Paul's shoulder. He was nuzzling me in comfort, and I was trembling. My head was pounding, and I started seeing spots in my vision. Seth came to my side to dab the sweat off of my forehead. It helped, but not really.

I flinched when I heard the second baby cry loudly. I turned my head forward to see, and Sue had my my second son in display. He looks like a boy version of me. He had my light tan skin color, and he had my brown hair. He was wet, but I could see some waves to his hair, so there is a strong possibility that he may going to have my curly hair. If he does, I can't wait to see when he has an afro like I did when I was a baby due to my thick coiled hair.

Paul said proudly, "Lucas Pititchu Lahote".

I smiled tiredly as Paul cut the umbilical cord, Sue immediately gave Lucas to Leah.

Sue said, "Paul, I need you to set Ale's legs down, so I can check the position of your baby girl."

Paul adjusted himself to set my legs down, and he was holding me from the armpits. I rest weakly on one of his arms, and with the other arm, he was rubbing me from the back. Even though my vision was going out, I was in physically in shock. I tried to take deep breaths, but I was just so damn exhausted. I started getting anxious.

I don't know if I would be able to push out Evangeline. I am beat and exhausted. If I didn't have a strong will to stay awake and keep biting my lip, then I would've passed out. Sue put her hands on my belly, trying to get a feel.

She exhaled in relief because she said, "Oh, she is positioned head down. Good, okay. I need you to start pushing, sweetie."

She gave me another long look, and she could tell I wasn't really listening. She snapped her fingers in front of my face, and I lazily glanced at her. She said with a stern expression, "I need you to start pushing, now."

I nodded meekly, and I gave another push. It was weak, but it was getting so much harder to keep going. Paul gave me a pat on the back, and he said, "I know you are exhausted, but keep trying. I can feel your exhaustion, but your almost there, hon."

Sue said, "yes. I need you to give me another big push. Her head is not even crowning yet."

Sigh. This is going to be really hard. I gave another grunting push. When I pushed, I slump into Paul's arms. I couldn't feel my lower body anymore. I was so exhausted, and I was so desperately wanting to close my eyes, but my eyes were burning from me trying to keep them open.

Sue said, "okay, her head is out. I need you to give me three more pushes, and I promise you will be all done."

Three more? I can't even do one more. I started getting really discouraged, but I kept going. I gave another push, and I started to pant very loudly. I didn't have the mental strength to control my breathing anymore. I was mentally and physically exhausting. I swear, I am never going to get pregnant again. This is too much. Nope, never again. I could actually die, man.

Both Paul and Seth sucked in their breath. Sue asked sharply, "what is it?"

I wasn't really paying attention at this point, but I heard Leah saying, "…her heart rate is dropping. She needs to come out, NOW."

Sue said immediately, "Ale, honey. I need you to give me one last big push. I know you are tired sweetie, but baby Evangeline is almost here."

I shook my head mutely, and I broke into a dry sob and started to weep tearlessly. I can't. I really can't. I am scared for Evangeline and for myself. All this pain and anxiety was getting to me. I don't know what to do.

Suddenly, I heard Paul growl. From the bristles of hair that I was feeling on top of my head, he partially phased. He bites me at my claim mark. I jolted from my claim mark being touched by Paul, and Leah shouted, "NOW, ALE!"

With Leah shouting at me and the small shot of endorphins that got released from my claim mark, I used that opportunity to push one last time. I gave another belching scream as I gave one huge push. I don't know if she was able to come out all in one go because I immediately passed out in exhaustion.

Author's Note:

I am going to post another chapter tomorrow. Don't worry, she won't die. She has the fertility claim mark.

I don't have kids, so I don't know if the birth scene is realistic enough? I tried, lol.

As always, reviews are very much appreciated.
