Push Love!
A/N: now this chapter is definitely M.
…
Laurie pushed her into the grass, groaning in pleasure as he felt her short nails dig into his shoulder. Jo gasped, regrets long gone and replaced by a haze of desire she had not known existed with in her. The grass was cool and it cushioned their passionate embrace better than any bed might. She sighed pleasantly into his ear as a Laurie began the rhythm that was both satisfying and stirring.
…
Amy screamed in pain, wishing she had something breakable in her hands to hurdle across the room. The maid had helped her across the room into the large bed that never seemed so small to Amy before. The baby was coming and where was Laurie?
She heard the servants yelling in panic below, hopefully one of them had fetched the doctor. Amy heard a heavy door close with a bang that echoed the sudden punch in her belly and she screamed again.
Hurried footsteps entered the room and she saw Dr Banks and two midwives surround the bed, fetching heaven knows what from ugly bags. Amy clenched her eyes shut when the next wrack came and breathed heavily as the doctor with his quiet voice directed her how to help ease the birth.
It was coming and where was Laurie!?
…
Their bodies shuddered together, not quite coming to a stop even when the echoing calls of delight had ended. It was ecstasy and Jo had to check she could still breathe. Laurie's mouth continued to caress her shoulder and the warmth she expected to have disappeared tingled again.
She had never felt so right in her life and she knew from his continuing ministrations that Laurie felt the same. It was so wonderful she had to laugh aloud, what was she thinking when she said 'no' so long ago!?
The beauty of the stars doubled when Laurie lifted his head to look into her face, a deep searching look making her smile even more. "That was," he paused to search for the right word.
"Incredible." Jo finished for him. He smiled and nodded back and she couldn't help but think how attractive he was. Why shouldn't she, Jo thought, after what they'd just done. And then it really hit her with all its consequence.
They'd made love.
…
Amy was wailing, she wasn't sure it was supposed to hurt this much but the midwives looked at her so encouragingly that she decided it was fine. Natural.
Another contraction and Amy's body shook with the effort to keep going, her knees didn't want to stay up and she didn't want to hold them. The doctor was whispering fiercely to one of the women and she heard them rush about before the pain hit again.
What was happening?
Where was Laurie?
…
In the night no one saw them hold hands. Jo felt his presence more keenly than she'd ever before in her life and she was comforted by it. If he would stay by her, then maybe, just maybe she could do this.
Jo grinned as she found some grass stuck in his vest and she pulled it out. Redressing hadn't been as pleasant as undressing but it still had its charms. Laurie would do her buttons up for her and she tied his laces, watching the wild look in his eyes appear when he lingered too long on the fabric near her skin.
They looked up at the house, both sighing at what would come.
They had to tell Amy. They had to tell Fritz.
…
It was dark but it wasn't too late for young people to be out, yet when Jo and Laurie entered the house they were surprised to find the household staff in the front room and all the lights on. The two looked about anxiously, and Laurie moved to ask a servant, "What's happening, please?" before a scream echoed its way downstairs.
"Amy," Jo recognized immediately what was going on. Laurie watched as she raced up the stairs, yelling for her sister. He looked dubiously at the servant who still hadn't answered until he heard the gardener mutter about a baby.
Amy was giving birth!
