Chapter 35 - Lilith

It's been almost nine months since we found out I was pregnant. I'd spent the time building the baby's nursery with gender neutral colors, I wanted the gender to be a surprise. Ofcourse, my stomach was now well rounded, and my breast had doubled in size.

Riot said he liked them as long as I was happy with the size. Spending 9 months inside wasn't ideal, but I came to accept the fact and put the baby's needs over mine. I sit on the couch, hands over my belly and my head on Riots shoulder as we watch some random movie.

I could tell he was sleeping by the way his group on me would get tighter here on there. He'd been so busy taking out anyone who could cause harm to us, and making sure everything was perfect before the baby would arrive.

Wed gone through the whole morning sickness phase, the junk food phase, and now we were almost done. The baby should be arriving soon.

Riot wanted me to have the utmost rights in the mafia's rules to be protected, so we got married. It wasn't much because we couldn't leave the house, just me, him, Rome, and apparently the guy who married his parents married us. He let me pick out his ring, but he surprised me with mine.

It was a gorgeous diamond ring, and it made me so happy just to look at it. I didn't get a wedding dress, we decided to have a big wedding after everything calmed down. It was just us in normal clothes, doing normal people things.

My hair was growing back, slowly, but steady. I take a deep breath as I run my hand over my stomach, feeling the cramps get stronger. They've been coming and going this past week, and they've only gotten worse. I shake my legs as I try to work through it, taking deep breaths.

Riot wakes up when he feels me moving.

"What's wrong?" he asks and I shake my head.

"Just cramps." I say and he nods before leaning back, but not going back to sleep.

30 minutes pass and then I realize it's not just cramps.

"We need to go, now. I think the babys coming." I say.

Riot immediately gets up, helping me stand up and go by the door.

"Wait! The bag! Can you get the diaper bag? It's hanging on the crib." I say and he nods before going to get it.

I slip on my vans before taking a deep breath, groaning as another cramp comes in.

Riot comes back with the bag and his keys, helping me out of the house. We pass guards who lock the door behind us and stay to guard the house. He helps me get in the car and gets in, quickly driving to the hospital.

I memorized the route, we went every week for my checkups. I groan again as they get stronger, shaking my leg again.

Riot looks at me and takes a deep breath.

"We're almost there. Baby." he says and I nod.

I looked down to realize I was just in an oversized top and shorts, oh no. This is the outfit my babys going to see me in.

Riot pulls into the parking lot, picking me up and taking me into the hospital. We go into the elevator and he takes us to the top floor, where a maternity group was already waiting. They rush over to me as he puts me on the ground, and takes me to the biggest room. I lay down on the exam table, and I feel like crying with how hard the cramps are hitting me.

Riot comes behind me and places his hands on my face in an effort to calm me down. I feel them pull my pants down and start to measure how dilated I am.

"She is 6cm dilated, she can start pushing at 10." one of the nurses says.

"10?!" I say.

"Yes, sorry ma'am." one of the nurses says.

I nod at her and feel one of them going to pull my shirt off, quickly pulling it off and placing a hospital gown over me.

I feel myself start to cry as I wait to become fully dilated, it hurts too bad.

"Don't cry, love." Riot says and he leans down and starts peppering my face with kisses.

"I can't. It hurts, so much." I say.

He nods before running his fingers through my hair, trying to comfort me in any way he can.

It's not long until the nurse says i'm fully dilated.

"I'm going to need you to push, okay?" one of the nurses says, and I nod.

"Okay." I say.

I close my eyes as I push, feeling like my organs were stretching. My face scrunches up as I push again, this time hurting more. I let out a gasp for air as I finished pushing, looking over at Riot.

He was looking at the nurses, but now he's looking at me.

"You got it, okay? I believe in you, you can do this." he says, and I nod.

I pushed again, this time I could feel the baby's shoulders come out. I almost smile, I'm almost done. I push again when they tell me to, and eventually I hear the baby start to cry.

My eyes swell up with tears, from the pain, the exhaustion, just everything. Riot leans down and kisses me, rubbing the tears off of my face.

"We did it." I say and I look up at him, and he smiles as he nods before looking away to watch the nurses clean off the baby.

They wrap them up in a towel before handing them to me. I look down to see two brown eyes looking up at me. Long eyelashes fan out over them, blinking every so often. I start to smile as I take in their features. The soft nose, the pink lips. The baby truly was a mix of RIot and I. I feel Riot take in their features, looking from afar. I readjust my hands and hold the baby out.

"Take them." I say, softly.

He replaces my hands with his, and I smile at them as I look at them. A big strong man, terrified of hurting a small child. The baby starts to cry and Riot hands them back over to me.

One of the nurses teaches me how to breastfeed, and when he's latched on the room becomes calm.

"Don made us aware the gender was a surprise, the wristband on the baby will be pink for girl, and blue for boy. Well let yall have a moment." she says and I nod, thanking her again before she leaves.

I look up at Riot and he nods, silently telling me to pull the baby's arm out of the banket to see the wristband.

I do, ever so gently.

And there it was.

The color blue.

We had a boy.
