Welcome to chapter 13! Time to introduce the final member of their little family. Let's get started, shall we?

CHAPTER 13 – Baby Number 2

(P to Diana) I gently woke from my slumber. As I did, I felt the baby kick. Like before, I was pretty big. Growing a child was so long and occasionally difficult, but it was worth it. The arrival of Marlene those many months ago had proven that. And the new baby was going to prove that again.

By the kicking, Sebastien and I had figured out that I was probably only pregnant with one child again. We were glad, as now we would stop having children. Two was enough. Since we weren't human we wouldn't have to pay for expensive things like school, but parenting two children alone was enough for us to say we no longer wanted more children after the new one was born.

Marlene was taking the fact that she would soon be an older sister quite well. Sometimes she seemed to be even more excited than Sebastien and I. Maybe it was her young age. But we didn't know. It was better then her saying anything else. She and her younger sibling would probably get into trouble. Sebastien and I would have to watch for that.

But for now, the baby was still inside of me. When Sebastien awoke, I would ask him for a little food. He would gladly go get some, because of love. He had taken such good care of me and our little daughter. Now he would do the same again with our second child.

Just as I was thinking that, he started to wake up. "I love you Sebastien," I said happily to him. "I love you too," he said as he started to stir. Even in his current state, he immediately replied with those wonderful words. When he opened his eyes and they met mine, we both felt pure love. We then shared a wonderful kiss.

"Thank you for making me be a new mother again," I said happily to him. "Thank you for making me a new father again," he said happily. We kissed yet again. "We mustn't forget our little Marlene though. Even though we'll have to intensely focus on the new baby, she's still our firstborn," I said happily.

"And what a beautiful daughter we created. She's perfect, even if she is a little crazy," Sebastien said, making us chuckle. "I hope she has a little sister on the way," I said. "Why?" he asked me. "They'll have a tighter bond, I think. I don't know though, so a little boy would be neat. A boy and a girl would be really interesting to have," I said.

"It would. I guess we'll have to wait and see," Sebastien said, rubbing my belly. I giggled and blushed as he did so, loving him. When he stopped, something must have triggered little Marlene to wake up. "Good morning Marlene," Sebastien and I said to her. "Good morning Mom and Dad," she said to us as she blinked her eyes.

"So Mom, when do I get to be a big sister?" she asked me. I smiled, so glad to have her. "I don't know sweetheart. But your little brother or sister should be here soon," I said happily. Marlene walked over to me and gave me a hug the best she could. I felt pure love coming from her. I happily hugged her back and watched as she gave one to Sebastien as well. Our perfect little family was about to get even better.

Marlene was walking back to me when she suddenly tripped onto my belly. The baby seemed to realize what happened and attempted to kick her off. Marlene got off but was wild-eyed at what she had felt. "It's ok sweetie, that's just your little brother or sister in there. Go on, touch it," I said to her.

She had touched my belly before, but landing right on top of it and feeling the kicks must have spooked her a little. Marlene nervously put her paw on my belly and the baby kicked again, but Marlene held fast. She became more curious than afraid after a few moments. She was feeling where she had been only 9 months ago. How time had flown by.

She eventually stopped and decided to sit down next to me while Sebastien went to get food. "Mom, that's weird," Marlene said to me. "I know honey. But you might do it too someday," I said to her. "I'm only 9 months old. I don't want to try," she said. "You couldn't try anyway sweetheart," I said to her.

"Why?" she asked. "Well if I told you why, it'll gross you out. I'll tell you when you're older," I said to her. Marlene accepted that, since she didn't want to be grossed out. Sebastien then came back into the cave. I took the food from him while Marlene gave him a hug. She really loved us. I then dozed off to sleep, to prepare for the upcoming birth of my new child.

(P to later) I woke up and felt pretty good. I felt a gentle kick from the baby, knowing that it was still with me. I hadn't sleep-birthed or suddenly lost it. I lay with my back against the wall, rubbing my belly. "When are you coming, my new child?" I asked my belly. I got no response and sighed happily, longing to hold it in my arms.

I felt really hungry again. As I was about to call for him, he walked inside the cave. "You have a sixth sense for me," I said happily, giving him a kiss. He quickly ran out grabbed food, and came back. "I love you," I said to him before he helped feed me. I noticed that it was about 4:30 as he did so.

As we were lost in each other's eyes for about 10 minutes, I felt it. Sebastien saw it in my eyes. My water had broken. "Love of my life, are you ready to help again?" I asked him "I am. Shall I take Marlene to where we discussed?" he asked me.

"Yes. Take her to Olivia and Charles' cave. Birth is a thing she shouldn't see at her age," I said, making us chuckle. Sebastien went to tell everyone to keep the children out of the cave while I gave birth again. All the children would be scarred for life if they saw me do that. I heard them all rush their children as far away as possible.

When Sebastien came back, I felt the pain start. Just like with Marlene's birth, he held my hand and started to try and help. As before, it was agonizing. But since I had experience, after about 30 minutes of going insane, I finally started to try to get the baby out.

It was so painful. Giving birth was not fun. But after I got the new baby out, I would never have to do this again. With the new baby, our family would be complete. I pushed and strained my body, getting the baby slowly out. Finally, after another half hour, I gave one huge push and fell flat onto my back and heard crying.

"You did it again Diana," Sebastien said happily to me, gently kissing me. "I'm… I'm tired. What did we have?" I asked sleepily. I now had to slowly recoup that energy. "Hold the baby please honey," he said to me. I slowly opened my eyes as I lay with my back against the wall and the baby was placed into my arms.

I gasped with love as I saw the new baby for the first time. "Oh Sebastien," I said happily to him, giving him a kiss. I carefully turned the baby to get a good look at it. Such a loud crying was coming from the baby. Suddenly, I saw there was nothing. Sebastien and I had another little girl. A baby sister for Marlene.

"Ssh, baby girl, ssh. Everything's ok, Mommy's got you. Daddy's here too," I said to her. How could such a small little creature be so loud? I gently rocked her to being calm over the course of 10 minutes. "We should give her a name," I said to Sebastien, kissing him.

"I think I have an idea," he said. "What's your idea? One just popped into my head too," I said. "Same time again?" he asked me. I nodded. "Emily," we said, shocking each other again. "Our 2nd child. Our little Emily," I said happily, holding our new baby girl.

Emily suddenly began to cry, but I knew what she wanted. I started to nurse for her and she stopped instantly when getting food. She was a hungry little one, but then again so was I. The stress of birth had made us both really tired and really hungry. She nursed for 10 minutes before falling asleep.

It was time for Marlene to meet Emily though. I asked Sebastien to go get her to meet her little sister. He kissed Emily and I before going to get Marlene. When he came back, he had Marlene riding happily on his back. She enjoyed being carried around.

She even had her eyes closed. "Mommy? Is my new brother or sister here?" she asked me. "Yes, my Marlene. Come here," I said to her. Sebastien guided Marlene next to me and they both sat down. "Look at your little sister Marlene," I said to her, making her eyes open.

"Aww," Marlene said, looking at her sister. "What's her name Mom?" Marlene asked me, not taking her eyes off her brand-new sister. "Emily," I said happily to my firstborn. "Hello Emily. I think you'll love Mom and Dad, like I do," Marlene said to her sister. That brought great joy to Sebastien and I's hearts.

We were now a family of four. Sebastien and I couldn't be happier. Our family and lives were complete. We had Marlene and now had Emily as well. We would be with them for as long as our lifespans permitted, which meant we would be with them for a long time.

What a sweet ending. Now that I have brought both Marlene and Emily into existence, it's time to get to the details of their youth and how they got to be where they are today. I have no notes, but I do hope you'll leave a review!
