Author's Note: Phew! I found time to write yehey! I was so excited to write this chapter and I guess this one was one of the long awaited ones. This chapter was probably the one that is most difficult to write about. I did a lot of research on this one…
Enjoy!
It's coming out
-
"CC hang on! Let's wait a little longer…I'm sure Suzaku or the school is working on it…"
But the staff was dead too, Mao killed them too…
Yet CC was calm, she was sitting on the floor staring at the dim light above her while Lelouch and Nunally cry for help. She was not afraid to be in pain for she was used to it; she was prepared for the worst but she never felt so anxious before…
"Lelouch…the contractions are two minutes apart…it'll be soon…"
"L-let's wait a little longer, hang on, you'll be fine…" He' reassuring her but his knees are already shaking as he continued banging the elevator with Nunally's cries. It has been about 10 minutes since the elevator stopped and they still haven't heard any reply. I'lll be a father soon…Lelouch calm down, you're prepared for this right? You can do it-you did a lot of research...Why!? Why am I so afraid when I'm so confident that I can take over the world!?"
"AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!"
Lelouch shrieked as his eyes were locked at CC's dilated ones. He was shaken by the sudden outcry and was now getting weaker by the labored breathing CC now had. Lelouch was never good at anything related to blood-especially if it is an emergency. One time when Suzaku broke his leg he fainted seeing the bone sticking out…another time when Nunally had she first period he was running around the school looking for Sayoko…he thought he overcame his weakness when he shot Clovis in the head- and he felt proud of himself- but later, he puked.
But there was also the time when he first used his Geass…also the first time he interacted with CC. He was not afraid of killing the soldiers then…
I can even kill that time…for the sake of the girl who protected my life!
"CC!"
"Lelouch it's coming out soon-ah-ah!" CC was clutching her shirt now.
The time has come, I can do this!
It would be best if she lie her back down but the place was so small so she has to deliver only with half her back on the floor. Lelouch positioned himself in front of her, his back facing the elevator doors as Nunally desperately pushed the emergency button again and again.
"Lelouch…"she was breathing hard "my-my underwear… help me take it off…"
"Go-got it…" Lelouch's hand is trembling as he pulled the delicate fabric. CC can feel his cold hands and with her warm one, she gently took hold his. She said between breaths "It'll be alright… who do you think I am?"
"Mrs. Ashford, is Lelouch already there?" Suzaku nervously waited for her voice in his cell phone, he was calling Lelouch earlier but he appeared to have no signal.
"No, why?"
"What?!" Panick struck Suzaku as he realized that something may have happened to Lelouch. He just finished throwing off Mao's body off the window and he ran straight to Rivalz's parking lot to wait for Lelouch there but the bike was gone so he assumed that he also rode it with CC and left Nunally in the friend's room.
They have planned beforehand at council meetings that when the time comes, Lelouch must go to Rivalz's room a floor below his. They would take a ride in either his motorbike or his brand new car into Milly's place near the school. Her mother was a midwife of noble women and can definitely be trusted. But Lelouch was not there yet.
"What happened Suzaku? Is she-"
"I'm sorry I'll call later." He ran off towards the dorm…
Yes that's right…
Lelouch's cool returned he confidently smiled at her "CC I need you to-"
"AAA-AAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!" CC suddenly grabbed Lelouch's shoulder with a terror-stricken face "Lelouchhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!"
What to do-what to get-NOW!
Hi eyes widened as he jerked backward "Nunally, give me your skirt now!"
"Y-Yes…" She quickly undressed it.
He quickly grabbed it and placed it under CC's buttocks for hygiene and comfort. She instinctively spread her legs apart and winced in pain after a worse contraction.
"I-It's COMING!!" She gasped.
"CC I need you to breathe properly- Inhale. Exhale. Inhale. Exhale, Inhale…"
She took in and took out air in a fast rate. "AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!"
"PUSH!! CC PUSH!!"
"DAMN IT IT HURTS LIKE HELL!!"
Lelouch held one of her hands "You can do it, you're strong-"
"YEAH THAT'S RIGHT I'M A LOT STRONGER THAN YOU!" She was crushing his hand now.
Ow! Patience boy, 'women become hysterical during childbirth he apprehended to himself. "CC relax! W-wait…I can see the head!
"AHHHHHHH!" She was now banging Lelouch's head to the door with her other hand.
"EIIIIKKKKKKK!!" Lelouch screamed as the baby's head suddenly popped out fully. He then gently assisted the baby as the shoulders are delivered. He gently guided the baby's head downward to help the upper shoulder deliver. Then he guided the head upward to help the lower shoulder deliver. Once the shoulders are delivered the rest of the baby is going to come out rather quickly, he thought. "PUSH CC!! HARDER!!"
With her full strength she was able to push the rest of the baby's body out. Then Nunally gasped as she heard an ear-piercing wail.
"Nunally GIVE ME YOUR SHIRT NOW!!" He commanded her.
"Ye-Yes brother!" He quickly grabbed it as soon as she undressed it, wiped it and wrapped the cloth around the baby. CC's breathing began to slow down
He then stared at it with so much wonder as tears are welling up in his eyes. He remained like that in a moment that felt like hours to him. He was about to show it to CC when…
...
"LELOUCH THERE'S ANOTHER ONE!!" He almost dropped the baby in surprise. He then quickly hand it to Nunally. "Nunally, don't let it escape in your hands! It's just like holding Arthur!"
Nunally didn't know what to do with the wriggling thing in her arms.
"LELOUCH DAMN YOU YOU MAKE ME SUFFER LIKE THIS IT'S WORSE THAN BEING BURNED ALIVE!"
"CC shut your mouth for a moment I'm sure you can do this again!"
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!"
"Inhale exhale inhale exhale inhale exhale…"
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!"
"PUSH!!"
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!"
"PUSH HARDER!!"
"DAMN THIS ONE"S FATTER!!"
"HARDER!! I can see the head now!"
This one came out too fast, it was a bit explosive…It almost slipped from his hands; the baby was as slippery as soap. Lelouch cradled it with his left hand and used his right to take off his shorts. He wrapped it around the wailing child; it was the "cleanest" cloth available.
The couple stared at each other with breaths in rhythm. They have done it. A different kind of joy they never felt before overflowed within them.
"Lelouch there's another one…"
"WHAT?!" He almost dropped the child in his other arm.
"Haha just joking!" CC laughed hard with her breath stabilizing.
"YOU BASTARD! HOW DARE YOU JOKE LIKE THAT!"
CC never joked before.
Lelouch never laughed at her joke.
I will never be the same for them.
…
"Nunally give me the baby now!"
"Y-yes brother!" He quickly, but gently snatched the tiny child from her.
"CC…look…these are our children…" He handled them to her and she carried each one in her arms, bringing them closer to her face. They're beautiful...
The one in the right was a thin girl (with a fat head) with rosy cheeks.
And the one with the left was a fat boy (also with a fat head) with a paler skin.
Both of them had the same hair color:
...
dark green
I can't wait to write the next one! The next one is baby centered, it was tough for me to decide their names.
I hope you liked the babies X)
