"Oh I hate this, Oh I hate this, Oh I haaaate this" Naomi spurted out from the bedroom as Hiei and Kurama spoke in the bathroom.

"Shes a month early,..I tried to stop it but I can't. This child is high risk, she needs to know that." Kurama attempted to put it in a more kind way that her labor of love could be for nothing.

"And we're supposed to tell her now? What the hell do you suggest we say to her? You might just expel a dead child!?!" he whispered harshly.

"She has a right to know and you know it Hiei!" Kurama argued back.

"Just help her and get the hell out of my business fox" he said as he walked into the room again and leaned on the door frame. Hiei gazed into the room to see Naomi in what happened to be her new favorite pose to cope with the pain. She was still pressing her palms against the walls as if she could move them.

"Why does this have to suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck so much" she carried on as she let herself slide, back against the wall down onto the floor and sit pretzel style. Naomi wore a hospital gown so Kurama could treat this situation as what it truly was, serious. She had even tied up her hair, she was actually sweating and boy did it surprise her.

"Do you need anything?" Hiei asked from the other side of the room.

"Can we put the air conditioning on or something?" she protested in a whiny voice as she wiped her forehead free of sweat.

"I don't own an air conditioner." he stated as he shrugged.

"Ugh!" she screamed, not out of pain, but protest.

Kurama walked into the room, "She would be much more comfortable if she had a cooler room, I think I'll go call Yukina" he said as he exited the room just as fast as he had entered.

"Anything else?" Hiei asked. He wanted to help her, really he did but he didn't know what to do for her. She glanced in his direction "Are you even my freaking boyfriend or what?" she icily directed towards him. "Yeah,...?" Hiei answered with a slight question in his tone, not sure of what she meant. "Then why are you half way across the damn room from me! Help me! Hold my hand or something! You useless fuck!" she shouted as she gripped the window pane convulsing with pain.

Hiei walked over to her and sat down beside her "Useless fuck hm?" he stated as he smirked.

When it passed she gazed towards him and took a breath "I'm sorry,..." she muttered out.

"Don't apologize, you don't mean it. You're already 5 centimeters, you're halfway there. You'll say much worse"

It turned out to be true, as the hours went on and she grew more tired and cranky the insults were worse. She was violent and needy at the same time, if there was such a thing. Yukina had stopped by long enough to put a cold spell on the room, but this offered only temporary relief

It was about 2 p.m that next day when she started becoming unbearable to be around. Every 4 minutes she would start screaming, the insults pouring, the dread filling the room. Naomi had refused an epidural several times claiming it was for the child's safety, but if she didn't shut up soon Hiei would give her one anyway. She had been sitting on 9 centimeters for over an hour now and it was agonizing.

She pushed her hands against the wall so hard her knuckles turned white, while she attempted to breathe. Hiei had previously gotten yelled at for reminding her to do so. Hiei walked around with her, and must've burned 12,000 calories. The woman didn't sit still; she tried to fool herself that any different position could really help with the pain. She must've been around the whole house by now. But she always came back to this spot on the wall, Hiei was growing surprised the paint was holding up to such abuse.

"I CANT DO THIS ANYMORE! I CANT, I CANT." she shouted as she put all her effort into pushing the wall, and it collapsed between her hands, dry wall and all. There in front of her was the beautiful neighborhood they lived in staring back at her.

Hiei's jaw dropped almost a foot, he rubbed his eyes. There is no way she just broke the wall. When he opened his freshly rubbed eyes, it was true "Wha,....the...fuck" he whispered

Naomi was so shocked herself she was distracted from the pain "Did I do that?". She was after all a demon, but she had never shown her true strength. She never even knew she had that kind of power inside her. The only thing Naomi could do was make icicles, now this was a surprise.

"Good news, ice is finally do-,..." Kurama stopped mid sentence and stride as he entered the room with half a wall missing. "HIEI! What did you do?" he said as he set down the ice chips and stood in front of Naomi but beside Hiei. "It was her! Naomi did it!"

"Wha? Really?" Kurama asked as they put their fists to the wall and knocked, there was no flaws in the job, Naomi had truly just lost her cool. They had been so busy discussing such an occurrence they didn't even notice Naomi come to a screeching stop in her walking fest and sit on the bed grasping her stomach.

"Kurama,,," she whimpered out.

"That is truly amazing,... just look at what shes done to the frame" Kurama spoke while he snickered.

"Kurama,.." she squeaked out again as he proceeded to speak about the amazing feat that just occurred.

"KURAMA!" she shouted as tears slid from her cheeks becoming solid as they hit the blankets below her.

Kurama spun around to face her "Oh I apologize Naomi" he said as he noticed her tears "Are you sure you don't want an epidural?"

"I think,...I think its time, I feel it,..I feel it" she whispered in distress

"Feel what?" Hiei asked as he walked over and began to rub his hand up and down her back.

"Feel the head!" she said as she gripped his hand and squeezed tightly.

Hiei's face scrunched in disgust "Ugh god what the hell? Don't tell me that shit!"

"Lay down, right now!" Kurama commanded as he examined her. Sure enough Kurama could see the head, it was right there. "Whenever your ready" Kurama stated as he let her to decide when she would begin.

Naomi sucked in a deep breath and looked into Hiei's eyes "You can do it" he said to her quietly and kissed the top of her head. Within a matter of minutes and more tears from Naomi Kurama instructed her to stop and gently freed the rest of the silent child.

"Its not crying. Why isn't it crying? Make her cry. Fix her" Naomi trailed on, way more out of it then she knew.

Kurama worked fast to suction out its airways and rub its back until finally a loud cry pierced the air and Naomi let her head fall to the pillow as she panted. She hadn't taken a breath since it came out.

Kurama cleaned the baby and wrapped it in a blanket tightly. He walked over holding her so delicately to his chest and waited for Naomi to sit up.

"Congratulations, it's a girl" he said as he handed her over.

"Hello Sarah Lynn" she whispered to the baby as she proceeded to cry harder. Hiei looked into Sarah s eyes dumbfounded and took his first breath since it all began "Welcome to hell" he joked.
