BABY MAKES THREE

"OK, one last push should do it, Mary."

Mary Batson-Trix grimaced at the midwife's statement. "It... it hurts... it hurts... "

Her spouse tightened the grip on her hand. "You can do it, sweetheart - I love you so much... " Mae kissed the whitened knuckles in her grasp.

Mary closed her eyes tight and took a deep breath. She tensed her muscles as she prepared one last strain. "Eeeeeeaaaaargh... " She threw her head back as the agony overwhelmed her. "ArrrRRRRGH!" She pushed as much as she could, with all her strength, for as long as possible... until finally, the room was filled with newborn wailing. Mary collapsed onto the mattress, sweat covering her entire body, her chest heaving as it tried to get air back inside.

"My God... " came Mae's voice. "I... I... " However, her words were drowned out by the highpitched cries of new life brought into the world. "You did it."

Mary raised her head, eyes full of tears, to see a shrieking baby in the midwife's arms. "It's a girl," he beamed. "Congratulations, you have a daughter."

"God... my God... " Mae simply glared at the baby as the midwife cut the umbilical cord and gave her a clean. "We... have a... " Tears were pouring down her own cheeks. She let out a sob in happiness.

Mary struggled to gulp down air. "Is... is she... she... ?"

"She's absolutely fine," the midwife assured. "Perfect." He then carefully passed the child over to Mae, who took her reverently. The shapeshifter looked at her new daughter and choked, clearly overcome with emotion. She brought the infant closer and kissed her forehead deeply. After a couple more moments gazing into the baby's eyes, Mae slowly sat back down and placed the precious thing in the waiting arms of her darling. The midwife quickly made his exit, leaving the Batson-Trix's alone.

Mary blinked in wonderment at the child. Her child. Their child. Their daughter. All the pain was gone from Mary's memory as she instantly fell in love with the now-sleepy bundle in her embrace. "She's beautiful... " she whispered.

"Perfect," added the Girl of Steel. "Just like her mother." She kissed Mary tenderly as she stroked the baby's crown.

Mary smiled knowingly. "You're right... just like you." She then gave a surprised Mae a kiss of her own. It was quite possible Mary had never felt more love and devotion for her wife than right now. Along with their wedding day, this was the happiest moment of her life. She had a beautiful spouse, loving friends... and now, a perfect child. She brought the little girl close and gave her own kiss to the forehead. "Hello, you... we're your mommies... "

Mae pressed her lips to her soulmate's temple, then returned her gaze to their newborn. "So... " she said after a beat, "... a girl. That means... "

The World's Mightiest Girl glanced at her. "You certain?"

The shapeshifter nodded. "Definitely. It's a perfect name."

Mary stifled a sob. "I love you, Mae... " They then kissed deeply, before returning their wondrous gaze to the child... their child.

They had friends and family waiting outside. But right now, this was about the Batson-Trix's. The others could continue to wait. There was plenty of time later to introduce little Marie...
