Here's chapter 2. Review at the end. Not sure what to do for chapter 3 yet. I don't own Victor or Logan or any of the X-Men.
Logan's water broke and more pain hit him. He cried out and gripped his mate's hand. Hank went over to him and carefully removed the metal from his belly. He discarded it as he went over to a counter.
"Logan, you need to keep the baby from coming," he said as he put on rubber gloves and started putting a surgical tray together.
"What are ya doin?" he asked through gritted teeth as another contraction hit.
"Prepping for a C-Section," Hank said.
"What? NO!" Logan said, scowling.
"Logan, your life or your baby's or both of your lives are at risk if we do a natural birth!" Hank motioned for Jean to bring a anesthetic machine over.
"I SAID NO!" He snarled and sat up.
Victor half sat on the bed and cupped Logan's face, making him look at him. "Jimmy, ya need to do this. Yer life or the pup's life or both of yer lives are at risk."
"No, Vic, I can't."
"Jimmy, please, ya or the pup or both of ya could die. I don't want ya to die. I love ya so much. Please do this. Please."
Logan saw the tears in Victor's eyes then nodded his head. "Alright, I'll do it. But I ain't bein' sedated."
Hank nodded. "Alright. Lay back down."
Victor got behind Logan and Logan laid back down, his head resting on Victor's stomach. Jean put a mask on Hank and surgeon cap, too. Jean brought the tray over and set it on a table next to the bed. Logan gripped both of Victor's hands. Logan was hooked up to machines. Hank took a scalpel and made a horizontal incision in his lower abdomen. Logan snarled in pain. Then Hank put the scalpel away and had these four things that stretch and hold the incision so that they could get the baby out (don't know what they are called).
"What the hell are those?" Logan said.
"Holds and stretches the incision so I can get to the uterus through the abdomen wall," Hank said.
"Give me somethin' so I son't feel the pain."
Jean gave him a strong drug and it started working. Jean nodded okay and Hank got back to work. He made another incision in the uterus covering. He then separated the muscles, making a hole for the delivery. Hank then removed the baby and Victor came from behind Logan and cut the cord. There was something wrong. Hank cleaned off the baby and cleaned its airways, but it wouldn't cry.
"Jean!" he yelled.
Jean went over and they talked in hushed voices. Victor had gone back in behind Logan and he saw the uterus healing its self. He got up and removed the things holding his abdomen apart and the abdomen healed. Then he went back behind Logan. They couldn't hear what was going on. Logan was starting to really worry.
"He's not breathing," Jean said, quietly. "We have to try and revive him."
Hank saw blood on the baby's left side, but it wasn't blood from the birth. "Baby was hurt by that metal." Hank stitched the wound. The baby was set up to a heart monitor. "Go on and try to revive him."
Jean got to work and preformed CPR. She did it twice, three times, four times, five times. "It's not working."
Hank grabbed a child size AED and turned it on. He put the paddles on the baby's chest. "Charging. . .Clear!"
The baby's body shook from the shock. Nothing. Victor was on his feet and ran to the doctors and Logan sat up, confused and worried.
Hank tried again. "Charging. Clear!"
Nothing.
"Charging! Clear!"
Nothing.
"Charging! Clear!"
Nothing.
Victor pushed Jean out of the way, but she grabbed his arm and pulled him away from Hank and the baby.
"Go sit with Logan, Victor. Now," she said.
The EKG was still flatline. Hank gave it one more go. The Flatline still rang. He set the paddles aside and turned it off and the heart monitor.
Logan was breathing hard and shook his head. "No. . .no. . ."
He broke the casts off and got off the bed. He started walking to the baby, but stumbled. Victor caught him, putting his arms around him as Logan howled in agony as they both sunk to their knees. He continued howling and drove his face into Victor's neck and cried at the loss of their pup. Victor cried with him as he held him, tears running down his face. He rocked Logan, but it didn't help any.
"NO! NO!" Logan screamed, sobbing. "NONONONONO!"
"It'll be okay, darlin'," Victor said, tears still flowing as rocking him more as Jean and Hank put away the gear and put a sheet over the baby. "It'll be okay. We'll have another pup."
"I DON'T WANNA ANOTHER PUP!" he sobbed, snot and tears all over Victor's neck. "I WANT MY PUP!"
"I know, Jimmy, I know," he sniffled.
Jean and Hank sat on the other side of the room. Tears had come to their eyes as well and slid down their faces. Logan's crying quieted some.
"I wanna see him," Logan said.
Victor looked at Hank and Hank nodded as he went to the baby. He uncovered his body and wrapped the sheet around him. He carefully picked him up and went over to Logan and Victor, crouching in front of them. Logan sat up more straight and saw the pup in Hank's arms. He took him from Hank and looked at him. He looked like Victor and himself. He nuzzled him and curled up against Victor as he shook from crying. Victor wrapped his arms back around Logan. He still had tears running down his face and sobbed loudly. Logan tightened his hold on the pup. The baby was deathly pale and was cold.
Eventually, the baby was covered up again on a table and the two ferals went back up to their room. It was late and everyone was around the school. Victor was carrying Logan bridal style to their room. People they passed questioned them about what happened, but they ignored them. Victor entered the room to find the twins were waiting for them on their bed. Victor pulled back the covers and set Logan in the bed then pulled the covers over him. Logan curled in on himself and stared at the wall.
The twins started asking questions, but Victor told them he would tell them what happened in the morning. He sent the kids to bed in the nest room which was the twins' bedroom. They had gotten a suite that was on the third floor earlier. Victor removed his clothes and got into bed with Logan. Logan turned to him and used Victor's shoulder as a pillow. Victor wrapped his arm around Logan. They closed their eyes and tried going to sleep.
