It was still morning as Duke was driving towards the hospital with Tristan, Serenity, and Téa in the back. Serenity started to feel strong contractions. Téa kept time on them on her watch when she stated feeling the contractions.
"Ah..." Serenity was panting softly from the pain. Tristan held her hand and felt a strong grip from hers.
"Hang in there, Serenity. We're almost there." Tristan told her.
"I know, they aren't strong, but the pain stings a little." Serenity held her pregnant stomach trying to endure the pain. Duke finally made it towards the hospital. He parks it right by the gate as Tristan gets out of the car first to grab a wheelchair. He began stumbling over as he fell on top of a set of wheelchairs. Téa helps Serenity out of the back seat as fell to her knees feeling another contraction.
"Ah.. SHIT!" she clenches her stomach again as she did her breathing. Tristan managed to get a wheelchair for Serenity as she sat down in it and Tristan wheels her inside the Emergency Room. Atem gets out and follows while Duke parks the car. The two couples make their way to the desk.
"May I help you?"
"My wife is in labor. Her water broke and she started having contractions." Tristan told the receptionist.
"How far apart are the contractions?"
"Exactly nine minutes now." Téa added.
"Nurse, please escort this woman and her husband to a room, please." A male nurse walked up to them with a clipboard in hand with the designated room they were assigned to.
"Alright, your room is in 12-R which should be close by. Okay, let's have a baby." Tristan followed the nurse as he wheeled Serenity to their room. Atem and Téa stayed behind as they needed some time to themselves.
"Atem, you and I should have a little talk." Téa takes Atem's hand as she sits him down with her by the Waiting Room area.
"What did you want to talk about, Téa?" Atem knew that he and Téa hardly had any time to spend together since the holiday season began, however made time to prepare for their upcoming wedding.
"We have to try to squeeze in a personal day for us. Besides the wedding, that is." She chuckled a little.
"Téa, I understand how you feel. I wanted to spend some time with you too. Since I am the Vice-President, sometimes Kaiba is away and he has me doing all of his work." Atem puts his hands onto hers. "But, if he wants to try to keep me away from you because of my new job, I'd quit right away and head straight home to you."
"Don't get too crazy, Atem." Both giggled a bit from what Atem had said about quitting. "But, it is sweet of you."
"Téa, this engagement ring that is on your finger dedicates the undying love I have for you. I want to marry you because I love you for you." He rubs his fingers onto her hand.
"Atem, I love you too." Atem leaned forward as Téa felt his magnetic attraction towards her. The two began to lock lips when a spark ignited into it and they wouldn't let each other go. Téa began wrapping her arms around Atem as he did the same when he wrapped his arms around her waist. They both knew that there were other patients around, but the two didn't care as they continued to make out.
"Hey guys, I..." Duke walked in and saw Atem and Téa having their small make out session. "I'll just leave the keys with you." Duke puts the keys down next to them and walks out.
MEANWHILE
Serenity had finished changing out of her clothes and into a patient gown. She laid down on the bed when she felt another contraction. Tristan held her hand to help her get through the pain. The doctor came in as soon as he heard his patient having a contraction. The doctor came in as he looked in his late 40's, brown hair with gray lines, and amber-coloured eyes.
"Good morning you two. You must be Serenity Taylor, correct?"
"Yes... I am." Serenity told him as she was panting from her contraction.
"I'm Dr. Wartburg and I will be delivering your child today. Now then, let's get you hooked up." Dr. Wartburg attached a few wires up to Serenity to a heart monitor to check the baby's heart rate. "Alright, now let's see how far the baby is." He put on a rubber glove and checked to see Serenity's dilation. "Well, your child isn't going nowhere for a little while. Mrs. Taylor, your child is now 4 centimeters dilated. We can check again in a little while to see your current status and we can deliver this baby."
"Thank you so much.." Dr. Wartburg left the room to check on his other patients. When he left, Atem and Téa walked in a few minutes later finding the room that Serenity and Tristan were in.
"Hey, how are you feeling?" Téa asked.
"I'll be alright. Other than these contractions, I'm doing fine."
"The doc said he'll be back shortly. Contractions at nine minutes, it's a little painful for her." Serenity ended up feeling another one the minute he said that. "Eight minutes now." Serenity began to sweat as she felt more pain.
"Tristan, we can help you in any possible way. For Serenity's sake and yours." Tristan was touched by Atem's help.
"Thanks guys." While they were talking, Dr. Wartburg came in to check up on Serenity and see her current status.
"Alright, I'm back. Let's see how the baby is doing." He checked out the monitor and the grid paper and it looked as though Serenity is doing just fine. "Well Serenity, the baby is doing alright. You just gotta keep going through these contractions until your about two minutes apart and/or you are dilated to eight centimeters." The doctor suddenly walks towards Tristan. "Mr. Taylor, may I see you outside for a minute?"
"I'll be right back Serenity." Tristan told her as he held her hand and turned his head to Atem and Téa. "Can you guys sit with Serenity? I'll only be gone for a second."
"Sure Tristan, we can handle this." Téa told him. Tristan nodded as he left the room with the doctor to a nearby receptionist desk in the hallway.
"I saw the scanner and checked the readings. It turns out that the baby's heart rate is beginning to drop." Tristan's eyes began to widen as he heard those words.
"What? Are you sure?"
"Mr. Taylor, I'm a doctor. I never make up anything like this."
"Dr. Wartburg, can't you do anything that can save my child?"
"We can. If the baby's heart rate keeps going down, we have to do an emergency C-Section on her. I read Serenity's Medical Records and it says that she had surgery on her eyesight. But, pregnancy issues aren't going to be put on her medical history."
"Thanks Doc." Tristan and Dr. Wartburg entered back in the room as Serenity just finished going through another contraction.
"Doctor, I think I can feel the baby coming." The doctor checked the heart monitor and the Baby's heart rate was back up again. He then checked Serenity's dilation as he put on a rubber glove.
"Hmm..."
"How is she?" Tristan asked.
"Well, she is six centimeters dilated already." When the doctor finished, Serenity began to ache from the pain she felt.
"My contractions feel like they're becoming closer!" Serenity screamed out. Dr. Wartburg felt Serenity's pregnant belly and he felt the baby moving.
"The baby is alright. I have to go change for a minute and when I come back, we are gonna have ourselves a new addition to the world." The doctor immediately left to change as Tristan went back to comforting his wife.
"You'll be alright, Serenity. I'm staying right here." Throughout the time that Doctor was away, Tristan helped Serenity endure the pain and soothed it by rubbing her back when she sat up, Serenity even used Tristan's shoulders for balance when she felt contractions going on and off. She felt so tired, but needed energy to give birth to her child. The doctor was away for a whole 30 minutes as Serenity's contractions got closer and closer. She was lying down with a rag on her forehead since she's been sweating from her pain. Atem stood up as he walked over to Tristan.
"Tristan, Téa and I will be in the Waiting Room. We'll wait there until you have your child."
"Atem-" Before Tristan could say anything, Téa spoke up and stopped him.
"Tristan, he's right. You know you and Serenity can handle this. I know you need us to help you out, but we know you and Serenity can get through this together. I hope that you understand." Tristan looked at the couple like they were abandoning him and Serenity, but Tristan smiled and replied back.
"I understand guys. I can do this. I mean..." He held onto Serenity's hand looking at her as she looked back and smiled. "WE can do this. You guys go on. I can bring you back in when it's over." Atem and Téa left the room and went back towards the waiting room. Dr. Wartburg checked on Serenity and saw that she was fully dilated. He looks at the heart monitor and saw the baby's heart rate at average.
"Okay Serenity, here comes another contraction, so I want you to push on this one."
"No, I want drugs! Just go and get me the drugs!" Serenity shouted like she wasn't even thinking.
"Serenity, it is too late for me to give you an epidural. You'll have to listen to me on this. It's too late to give you it, so you're going to have to do this naturally, okay?" Dr. Wartburg told her and Serenity nodded while she had tears coming from her eyes. "Okay, push!"
Serenity began to push as she screamed in agony. Tristan held her hand and felt a tight grip as he bit his other hand to endure the pain. Serenity kept pushing every ten seconds and tried to catch her breath from pushing.
"Serenity, don't push yourself too hard, okay? I can see the baby's head, so just take your time with pushing, alright?" Dr. Wartburg turned on a lamp and directed by to Serenity. "Okay, now push Serenity!"
"Ah..." Serenity took a deep breath and pushed again, but she toned down a little and pushed as hard as she could. After that push, Tristan and Serenity began to hear a small cry. Dr. Wartburg held the baby in his hands hearing the crying.
"It's a boy!" The doctor cut the umbilical cord and gave the baby to the nurse to wipe the baby clean. Tristan gave Serenity a quick kiss as she was exhausted.
"You did great Serenity. I'm proud of you." The nurse gave their baby to Serenity as she held him so she'd never let go. Their child was an exact resemblance of Serenity. Amber-brown hair with hazel eyes.
"What should we name him?" Serenity asked. Tristan gave it some thought and decided to name the child after him.
"TJ, Tristan Jr." Serenity liked the name as well. Dr. Wartburg went to go fill out the papers for their new child while Tristan left to go get Atem and Téa. When he got to the Waiting Room, he saw Joey rush in through the doors. Joey ran up to Tristan grabbing his collar.
"Tristan! Where's Serenity?! Is she okay?! What happened?!" Joey was spiraling crazy in fear for his sister's safety until Atem restrained him and tried to cool down.
"Joey, relax. Serenity's fine. What's up with you anyway?" Tristan asked.
"I got a text from Téa saying Serenity is at the hospital. Is she okay?" Tristan sighed as he grabbed Joey's shoulders.
"She's okay Joey. But, do you wanna see your new baby nephew?" Joey looked up and calmed down when he heard the word "nephew" from Tristan.
"Sure... take me to em'. Atem let go of Joey as Téa followed behind the rest of them to go see Serenity. Tristan opens the door to their room seeing Serenity have a little bonding time with her new son. When everyone walked in, Serenity was caught by surprise seeing Joey
"Hey big brother. When did you get here?"
"Just now. You were always there for me and now I'm here to see my new little nephew." Serenity gave their baby to Tristan as he walked towards Joey.
"You wanna hold him, Joey?" He looked at Tristan and smiled.
"Sure, I'll be glad to." Tristan carefully gave Joey the baby to hold. When TJ opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was Joey. "Hey there you, I'm your uncle. And over there is your Mom and Dad. You are gonna have a great time with us." While Joey was cooing his nephew, Téa sat next to Serenity.
"So, dress shopping next week?" Serenity nodded "yes" since they only had two more weeks until Atem and Téa's wedding.
"You guys are great. You are the best friends I ever had." Serenity told them. Dr. Wartburg returned from filling out the papers and saw more people in the room.
"Well, it seems your friends wanted to see the baby. But, Serenity and the child need to get some rest."
"It's still morning. So, I think Téa will just get some breakfast and go home. We do have the wedding coming up." Atem told them.
"That's right. I hope it turns out great." Atem and Téa left the room as Joey gave the baby back to Tristan.
"Since the doc said that Sis and TJ need rest, I should go too. You wanna go get food?"
"Actually Joey, I'm gonna stay here a little longer." Joey nodded and left towards the cafeteria. Tristan cradled his son as he sat down in the chair watching Serenity sleep. "I promise you TJ, I am going to give you a good life. One without any trouble."
Man, what an ending to that chapter. Well, the child has come into the world, but shifting gears now towards Atem and Téa's wedding. How big a wedding will they have? What type of surprises will there be? And will Tristan be a man of his word from his promise? All this will be answered next chapter.
