Yes guys, I got the baby name from a book about a demon.


2:04 pm...

"How long have you been having contractions?" The nurse asked me once I was settled.

"I haven't been having noticable contractions for very long, but I woke up with a weird feeling in my stomach and it turned into contractions."

At that moment, Vanessa arrived. "Hey! Smile! You're about to have a beautiful baby and you aren't even smiling." She said enthusiastically.

"You're saying you were smiling while you pushed a living human out of a hole that isn't normally very big?"

"No, but I was smiling while I waited to push. Before it started hurting."

"Well did you ever think it might be hurting?"

"I wouldn't think it would be that bad- didn't you just go into labor a little while ago?"

"Actually this morning. We came in when it started hurting."

"Oh. Did they measure you yet?"

"Yeah. Three centimeters. Long way to go yet. Wait- where's Tianna?"

"Chuck has her." Eric told me.

4:39 pm...

The contractions were gradually getting worse. Our parents had arrived shortly after Vanessa.

7:12 pm...

Chuck came by with Tianna to see how I was doing. Couldn't he have just called Eric? I really didn't want Tianna around while I was in the process of birthing her little sister.

10:15 pm...

Each contraction was more painful than the last, but I kept on, with Eric right by my side, holding my hand and reminding me to breathe.

Now I could remember exactly why I'd thought I wasn't going to have any more kids for a while after Tianna. That didn't matter. In the end, all the pain is worth it.

Holding your precious newborn in your arms, in awe of the little person you made, the new member of your family, was a thing like no other.

Watching your little one grow into a child, teenager and adult was the one of the best things to ever get to do. Even though Tianna was still just a baby, I knew why everyone said that. Eventually she wouldn't need me anymore, and I'll be missing the days when she did.

Randomly, completely out of nowhere, the pain grew so strong that I felt like I was dying. As if something inside me was ripping my insides apart. Worse than the whole time I was pushing Tianna out, and I wasn't nearly that far now.

"Babe what's wrong?" Eric asked, looking freaked out beyond words. I hadn't realized I was screaming. That was the last thought in my head before everything went black.

The next morning...

I woke up with a foggy brain, and blurry vision, which subsided when I was awake for a minute.

I was sore, and felt slightly drunk, but not in a good way.

Wait, where was my baby bump?

I looked across the room to see Eric. "What's going on? What happened?" I asked him groggily.

"Last night, I'm guessing you were in really bad pain, because you were screaming at the top of your lungs before you blacked out. The doctors had to perform a cesarean."

"Why? What the hell happened?"

"The placenta was in the way, baby moved and things got a little messed up."

"I wanted to have her myself." I said as I began to cry.

"Jenny, it's ok. If you'd had her naturally, she most likely wouldn't have lived and you might've gone into shock. This way, you're both alive and safe."

"She's ok? Completely healthy?"

"Yes, completely healthy. The doctor told me you can meet her when you get a little more woken up. She's beautiful."

"We're naming her Kalika, right?"

"If that's what you want."

"Your cuts are showing." I whispered softly once I noticed.

"It doesn't matter. You're the only other one in here."

"I don't want you to hurt yourself. I love you."

"I love you more." Eric replied, beginning to lean towards me, unsure if he should or not.

Weakly, I put my arms on his shoulders and kissed him sweetly.

After a while, I was feeling more awake. The doctor was going to keep me on painkillers for a bit so I wouldn't have much pain. She just lowered the dose so I could think straight.

Finally, a nurse brought our baby girl to me and sat her in my waiting arms. Even though you can't really tell who newborn babies look like, she really did look like Eric. She even had a little bit of fluffy brown hair to match.

"Kalika Lalita van der Woodsen." I told her softly, introducing her to her name before kissing her forehead.

"I told you she was beautiful." Eric said to me.

"She looks like you."

"I never realized that, but I think you might be right."

"I'm the wife. Of course I'm right." I joked, kissing him and laughing.

Within a few hours, I'd breastfed my newborn baby girl for the first time, changed her diaper, and helped her fall asleep.

When Kalika fell asleep, I got up to use the bathroom and grab a bite to eat, though it didn't work very well. I wound up vomiting it out nearly immediately.

2 days later... 1:03 pm...

We'd stayed a couple days in the hospital, since I'd had an operation and now we finally had permission to leave. Tianna would finally meet her baby sister.

Chuck picked us up in his limo, leaving Tianna with my Dad so we could bring one baby home at a time.

Everything was great, and going well.

"Congratulations again you guys." Chuck told us, smiling at Kalika. "Your mixed DNA made a perfect baby."

"Chuck- don't even bring up how we mixed our DNA to make her." I said, laughing at myself.

"Wasn't going to. I just had to say she's beautiful."

"That she most definitely is." Eric agreed.

Suddenly, there was the obnoxious screeching noise of brakes being slammed. We were yanked to the side and Kalika, still in her carseat, landed in my lap, screaming her head off. I held her close, to protect her from any glass or impact. The limo was still skittering off the road when I felt a searing pain in my stomach and my head was slammed against the window, shattering the glass.

I looked over to Eric to see he was crying. I scanned over the rest of the limo's interior. Where was Chuck? He wasn't in his seat, and I couldn't see any further. My body tensed with fear as I realized Chuck must've been thrown from the vehicle. Goddammit!

I realized I was covered in blood, right before I fell unconsious.
