~Chapter 13 Amara~
I leave the infirmary to go check on the baby's and to eat a little something. As I start to go back I see Carter come through the front door. She looks terrible, She stops for a second and just stares off into the distance. I walk closer to her, "Carter, you okay?" I ask, her eyes flutter shut and she falls backwards but I manage to grab her waist before she falls, "Hoodie!" He appears beside me a second.
"What happened?" He takes her from my arms.
"She came in and just passed out!" I tell him as I chase him to the infirmary. He lays her down in the bed next to June's, "DAD!" I shout and he shows up at the foot of the bed. He looks at me then at Carter, and then to Hoodie.
"What have you guys done this time," He says before he starts checking over Carter.
"We didn't do anything, she came home and just passed out." I say rolling my eyes at him, If dad had eyes I'm sure he would have rolled them back at me.
"Well, good news, the baby is okay." He pauses, "Bad news she's exhausted and seems like she's been through some trauma, I have no idea when she'll wake up." I shake my head.
"Wow, what help you are," I mutter, he flips me off and leaves the room. I cover Carter with a blanket and Hoodie sits next to her. I hear shuffling coming from the other bed, I look over and June starts to move a little. I look back at Carter and then to June.
"Go, I've got her, I'll let you know if anything changes." Hoodie says, I nod my head and walk over to June's bed. Her eyes open slowly and she looks up at me. She tries to set up slowly and I gently push her back down.
" I wouldn't try to do that yet, your mind is probably still a little foggy." I say softly, she relaxes a little and just keeps looking at me, "Do you remember anything from the night mom died, or how you came back to life?" I ask her.
"I remember seeing mom dead, and that clown thing." I sigh knowing she'll have a bone to pick with Jack now.
"Anything else?" I ask hoping she can help us figure out how she came back.
"All I remember is waking up a few days ago it felt like I was choking, and I had to dig myself out of the ground. Then I attacked a masked man and ended up here." She says sitting up, I let her this time. I sigh wishing she knew more.
"Alright, I can show you around if you would like, as long as you promise not to attack anyone or run away." I say and help her stand from the bed.
"I promise," she says and I grab her hand and smirk.
"That's good, because everyone here is very capable of killing you or tracking you down, so don't get on anyones bad side." I say and laugh a little, I feel her tense up. I laugh even more, "I'm just kidding, I wouldn't let anyone do that to you." She relaxes a little and I lead her out of the infirmary and up the stairs. Right before we reach my room Helen comes down the hallway.
"Hey, Amara how is," He pauses once he sees June, "Oh she's awake already." He looks from me to June then back to me,"Do you know her, Amara?" He asks looking at me weirdly.
"Yeah, actually this is my dead sister June." I say and look over to June, "June, this is Helen the guy who knocked you out." She waves at him shyly and watches him closely, I can't tell if she's scared or has a little crush.
"Sorry about knocking you out, you didn't give me much of a choice to do anything else." He says and smiles at her, before I hear someone downstairs calling his name, "Well, gotta go, see you around." He says and runs towards the steps. I shake my head, and open the door to my room letting June in. I follow her in and shut the door behind us, then I walk over to the crib and pick Emma up. She giggles happily and I bounce her a little. June comes and looks in the crib down at Phoenix, he makes little noises and reaches his hands up to her.
"You can pick him up if you want." I say and start making bottles for them while holding Emma. June looks down at him before slowly leaning down and picking him up. She cradles him in her arms and looks down into his grey blue eyes before looking back over to me.
"Are they yours?" She asks as I hand her a bottle for him and sit next to her. I start to feed Emma, and she closes her little eyes.
"Yeah they are," I say smiling as I watch June carefully feed the baby.
"They look just like you." She says watching Phoenix drink his bottle.
I chuckle, "I understand why you say that but I think they look a lot more like Ja- I mean my husband, since you haven't met him yet," I say not wanting to tell her about Jack yet. The babies finish their bottles and I start to burp Emma. She starts to whine and she hiccups, and at the same time she vanishes from my arms. I sigh and June looks over at me like what the fuck, "Long story short I have powers from my dad, and my husband has powers. The baby's aren't old enough to control them so that happens sometimes." I say and stand up to see Emma laying in the crib hiccuping softly in her sleep. I have June put Phoenix in the crib, "So, in order to stay here with us, you are going to have to do a task." I say watching how June reacts.
"Okay, what do I need to do." She says moving a piece of hair behind her ear.
"Well we need to go talk to my Father but, the task is normally killing someone." I say, she stares at me for a second.
"I don't know if I can," She says softly, "But I'll try." I smile, that wasn't at all what I thought she would say, "Alright, lets go talk to Slendy," I say and just as we are about to move towards the door Jack walks in. I roll my eyes,"Really now of all times you had to come in here," I say, he looks at me weird then sees June and gives me an oh shit face.
"Mommy!" Sally squeals from behind Jack and runs to me and hugs my leg.
"What the hell is he doing here! He KILLED our mother!" she shouts. I give Sally a hug and quietly tell her to go play with Ben or Jeff. I sigh and look over at June.
"I told you that had to happen she would have killed us, and he's my husband." I say. She sighs then gives Jack a dirty look.
"Fine I get it, but that doesn't mean I like or forgive him." She says, I can feel the anger radiating off of her and I shiver.
"We are going to go see Dad, will you play with the babies?" I ask walking over to Jack.
"Yeah, I love you." He says softly, wrapping his arms around my waist. I smile and give him a kiss.
"I love you too, I'll be back soon." I hear June fake gag.
"You two are so gross." She says and I roll my eyes. I give Jack another kiss before leading June down stairs to Slendy's office. I knock on the door.
"Come in," I hear dad say from the other side. I open the door and lead June in, Jeff is next to Dad's desk holding Hyde. I look over at June who is trying to keep calm and understand what she is seeing.
"Amara, what do you need?" He asks me and I look over at June and back to him.
"June wants to stay, and she is willing to try and complete the task that everyone else has." He nods and looks at June.
"Are you aware of what you need to do?" He asks June.
"Yes, I have to kill someone." She says softly, I chuckle and put a hand on her shoulder.
"I know he seems serious, but he's a big push over, and Jeff is a weak ass." I say and Jeff rolls his eyes.
"Who are they?" June asks.
"Slendy, the one at the desk, is my father, and the other thing over there is Jeff," I say and stick my tongue out at Jeff. She's about to say something when Hoodie bursts through the door.
"She's waking up!" He shouts and takes off down the hall, my eyes go wide and I run after him, forgetting all about June standing there.
~Carter~
I open my eyes to a bright light blinding me, "Turn it off." I mumble under my breath. Suddenly the light is gone and Amara's face is replaced by it.
"What the fuck happened?!" I groan, as my body feels stiff, and I sit up. Hoodie is on my other side and he helps me from falling back. I look down at myself. No traces of the blood for any mud.
"I...I went back for my brother. He was insane...He ate his son! So I had to kill him. I can't do this anymore!" I break down sobbing, it feels as if I have a giant hole in my chest. Hoodie wraps his arms around me and holds me tight but I still feel nothing. He notices I have no reaction so he lets me go and leaves the room.
"Carter, this is because of your father. Remember when you said he'd come back to take the payment for helping you? Well what if something bad is about to happen and that's why you felt the need to make that deal with him?" I nod my head, knowing she's probably right. I wipe the tears from my face and rest my hand on my huge stomach.
"Wow. How long was I out?" I ask, still sniffling.
"A few days, you've missed a lot since then." Amara looks at something on my left so I look as well. There's a girl sitting on the bed next to me playing with Ben's DS. She looks up and stares at me.
"WHAT THE FUCK!?" June jumps off the bed and stands next to me.
"Miss me?" I stare at her in shock, "I'm gonna take that as a yes." She then looks at Amara.
"I'm gonna go play with the kids." She leaves the room and I have Amara help me up.
"This is all just some kinda fucked up." I stretch and rub my stomach, "Baby's hungry. We go eat." Amara looks at me confused.
"You just have a mental breakdown then decide you're hungry?" I nod my head and grab her arm, "Come on. Food." She walks with me to the kitchen. I sit at the table and not a moment later Helen walks in with June, making googly eyes at her. I smirk and grab his arm. Amara leans against the sink and crosses her arms. Helen stops and sees me.
"CARTER! What's up, Bitch?" I bat my eyes at him.
"Cook for me?" He sighs and agrees. So June sits next to me as he begins making dinner.
"I have a lot of questions on how you're here but I have a feeling nobody knows." Amara gives me a look that tells me to shut up so I do. Helen places a plate of food in front of me, "Oh, Mac N' Cheese!" I begin eating when suddenly I get a sharp pain in my back and stomach, "OUCH!" I drop my fork and clutch my giant stomach.
"What's wrong!? Are you okay?" Amara is next to me in a second rubbing my back.
"Yeah, Just a sharp pa- AH!" The pain worsens then a sudden wetness on my seat gets my attention, "I think my water just broke." I groan out and stand up.
"Shit!" Amara shouts, "DAD!" Slendy appears next to me and lifts me up. Amara grabs onto his jacket as he teleports us back to the infirmary. Slendy lies me on the bed and starts checking how far along I really am. Hoodie bursts through the door and rushes to my side.
"Are you okay?" Slendy looks(?) at me.
"By the looks of it, You're exactly 38 weeks along." I sit up panicked.
"WHAT?! I'm only 5 months!" I look at Hoodie, "I swear I am! This is your baby. There was nobody else!" Slendy puts a hand on my shoulder.
"Of course it's his but with both of you being magical it's a possibility that your child has developed faster than all of us thought." I look at Amara, she grabs my hand.
"But that didn't happen with you." Amara smiles.
"It's not the same for everyone, Carter. It'll be okay." Slendy puts my legs in the stirrups so he can check how far along I am in labor.
"You're about 6 centimeters dilated, By how fast you're dialating I give it about an hour before we start pushing." He lets my legs back down.
"Can I have an epidural?" He shakes his head.
"Maybe if we had caught it sooner you could have had it but you're too close to pushing now." I groan in pain.
"THIS IS BULLSHIT!" Amara giggles.
"Imagine having two babies." I glare at her.
"Technically you only pushed one out so I don't wanna hear that shit." Amara smirks and Hoodie chuckles.
"You can do this, Honey." I mock him silently as another wave of pain hits me.
"Just get him out already!" I whine. Slendy shakes his head and sits on a stool that apparently popped out of his ass. We wait and talk about random shit for the next 20 minutes when the pain becomes unbearable, "It hurts." Slendy gets up and checks me again.
"Well, I guess I was wrong about waiting an hour because you're at 9 centimeters now. Amara, Hoodie, grab a leg and hold tight, she has to start pushing any second.
"What? I'm not ready! Amara, I'm not ready! Make it stop, please!" I start sobbing as the pain worsens, "I cant do this!" Amara's expression hardens.
"Get the fuck over it and push you fucking baby out!" Hoodie grasps my foot and pushes it back just as Amara does it.
"I CANT!" Suddenly my cheek stings and I stop crying, "Did you just slap me?" Amara smirks and pushes my leg towards me a little more.
"Yep, now hold onto your tits cause you're about to be a mommy." I take a deep breath and nod my head.
"Okay." Slendy kneels down to look at my vagina.
"When I say to you're going to push okay?" I nod again and not a second later he's yelling at me to push. The pain is indescribable but I push as hard as I can, "Stop." I catch my breath, "Push!" I push harder than before, screaming in pain as I do so. I can feel my body stretching slightly and then a bit of relief, "Stop! I got the head, Come on! One more big push! NOW!" More stretching and then complete relief, "GOT IT! Slendy turns his back to me and starts clearing my baby's airways from any mucus.
"Is he okay?!" I ask tiredly. Amara and Hoodie put my legs down gently. Hoodie kisses my head and moves the sweaty hair from my face as Amara rushes to help Slendy. She gasps and covers her mouth, turning back to us, "Is he okay?" I whisper. Her eyes are wide and that's when I realize I haven't heard a cry yet.
"Amara?" Hoodie asks. She turns back around and whispers to Slendy. He begins patting the baby's back and that's when the sweet sound of my child's cry fills the room.
"Oh my god, thank you." I close my eyes as tears fall down my face. Slendy wraps him in a blanket and hands him to me,
"Don't be mad but...I was wrong about the gender, you have a baby girl." I ignore him as I stare at my beautiful daughter.
"You'll be hearing from me later, Slendy. But for now I just had a baby and she's beautiful." Hoodie stares at her in awe just as I am.
"What's her name?" Amara smiles at me and gently runs her hand through my daughter's dark red hair. Her eyes open to reveal a deep purple color.
"Harley." Hoodie says quietly. I look at him and smile before looking Amara in the eyes.
"Harley Rose." Amara smiles and places a kiss of my forehead.
"It's beautiful." Hoodie takes Harley from me as my eyes begin to feel heavy.
"Rest, Car." He kisses my lips gently before everything goes dark.
