A/N: I know I've left you hanging for to long, so here it is, chapter 20!
Alice's POV
I wasn't expecting it at all. So when it happened, I didn't do anything. I was to shocked. I just stood there, Mirana and Dedrick watching me in shock. And then the pain came. I yelled out a cry, and they were instantly at my side. I clenched onto Dedrick's shoulder, and he lifted me in his arms. He walked as quickley as he could to a familiar door. Our old bedroom. He knocked on it rapidly, accidentally scarpping his knuckles agaisnt the wood. Tarrant opened the door, a smile on his face. When he saw me, whimpereing and trying to keep my screams in, his smile vanished.
"Her water broke." Dedrick managed to say, his nervousness getting the best of him. Tarrant nodded and Dedrick handed me off to him. I felt instantly better once I was in his arms, but the pain or screaming didn't stop. I yelled out a line of curses as he gently placed me onto our old bed. I grasped the sheets with all of my force, not wanting to grab onto Tarrant's hand, for fear I might hurt him. But he grabbed my hand and held it anyway. His face twisted into pain, but we both knew that in the end, it would be worth it.
"We need a doctor!" Mirana shouted, grabbing a phone. Another wave of pain shocked me, and I gripped Tarrant's hand.
"Was she this strong before?" He whimpered. I gave him another sharp squeeze for that comment. He stayed quiet for a bit. Where the hell was this doctor? I couldn't keep them in for any longer!
"I DON'T CARE IF SOMEONE IS DYING, JUST GET OVER HERE! AND THATS AN ORDER!" Mirana yelled into the phone. How loud could she get? She was much louder than Dedrick, and definatly more scary. She hung up the phone and rushed to my other side. "How are you feeling?" She asked, grabbing my other hand. I only shook my head. She nodded and wiped my forehead with a cold towel. "Its alright, it's better when it's over." She assured me. Soon enough, the doctor came in, a ghostly expression on his face. It was the same doctor that treated Mirana. He rushed over to me and put on some rubber gloves. Another scream came from my mouth. The doctor practically fainted. I could hear Anthony crying, and Dedrick was trying to calm him down, singing and rocking him. This was not a place for another child to be.
"Come on love, it'll be alright." Tarrant encouraged. But I really couldn't take much moer of this. It was complete madness, and yet it felt like the greatest deed.
"Come on, Mrs. Hightopp, another push, I can almost see the head!" He nodded his head frantically, sweat beating on his own forehead. I pushed again. "One more, big one now." He instructed, and I gave a huge push. "Yes!" The doctor clapped, and soon enough I could see a little bundle in his arms. He wrapped it up in a blue blanket, and handed it to Tarrant, who had let go of my hand. Then another burst of pain shot through me. The doctor looked at me as I let out an agonizing yell. "Not another one." He pleaded. Mirana glared at him, then grabbed him by the collar and looked him right in the eye.
"Listen, you either deliver this second baby, or i'll make sure that you stay where she does." She growled. She no doubt being the Red Queen, who wasn't dead, but living in the Outlands with Stayne. The doctor knew this and gulped, then turned his attention back to me. I gripped onto the sheets, shutting my eyes hard. "Come on Alice, you can do it." Mirana was at my side once again, holding my hand. I gave another push, and then another.
"Come now, one more, make it worth while." The doctor pleaded. I was getting really pissed at him, and I gave another push. "Come on!" He screetched. Thats when Mirana got up and punched him square in the jaw. I gave one moer push, and soon Mirana was holding a little baby in her arms. She handed it to me, and I smiled, relieved that it was over. The child she handed to me was a girl, she had blonde hair, which I was a bit disappointed over. I was kind of hoping that she had Tarrant's hair. Her eyes were purple, then green, then purple again. Well at least she had his ability to change eye colors. And in her face, I saw the shape of his nose, my lips, and his chin. The one Tarrant was holding was a boy, and it was obvious they were twins. They both had blonde hair, which was just bizzare. He was absolutley me, with the eyes and the face and the hair. The only thing he inherited from his father was the shape of his face. His right ear was a bit shorter than his left, and some of his toes where shorter than those on the oppisite foot, but he was a gorgeous baby none the less.
"Cameron," I whispered, looking at the new boy. Tarrant looked up from him and smiled.
"Yes, cricket. That suits him. And Daphne." He looked at the little girl his eyes glimmering green. Her nose was a bit chipped at the tip, it was flat, but had a round edge to it. Her fingers were completey straight, and I can tell that she was going to be a hard worker like Tarrant. I hugged her close to me.
"Daphne Margaret and Cameron Zion Hightopp." Margaret, for my sister, which we would have to visit soon, and Zion, for Tarrant's father.
A/N: I hoped you liked it! I know, it took to long to put up, but I was stuck. Anyway, I hope you like the names. Zion isnt really Tarrant's father's name, but I didn't know the real name, so I just chose it.
