(Look at my little Notchy with his sharp canines :3) 

I was constantly in the room with Nightmare, Althea and Zephyr. Latter one refused to leave his husband and daughter. Althea was traumatized and constantly crying, meanwhile Nightmare grew silent and depressed again with his now destroyed vision and hearing, both of which got badly damaged during the accident. I was there to heal him up, needing nearly 3 weeks to do so. The wounds were really severe, I barely managed to prevent him from being paralysed from the ribs down. Zephyr got pissed every time Evan would peak his head in, so I permanently banned said man from the room. Zephyr really wanted to tear him to bits, but refused to leave his family. 
While he was this pissy, I drained my powers almost fully over the course of 3 weeks. Nighty kept watching me sadly with his still fine eye, not moving away at all. Eventually I asked if I could try to heal his eye, to which he reluctantly agreed. So I did so, giving it my best. It took a long, long time until finally some progress was visible, quite literally. Nightmare seemed a bit more happy when the progress showed itself, however started to grow very worried when he saw the state that I'm putting myself into. Jay would always say that I'm pale as a wall and am stumbling a lot. Hero would force me to sit down every once in a while when I started panting. Hazel would look at me worriedly whenever I fell to the ground after a long healing session until Jura or Jay dragged me to bed for a rest. 
I could feel that I've grown much weaker, I pretty much only have coffee in my body since I barely ate. My body could survive without the food, however that comes at the cost of having less power. Still enough to take care of Nightmare tho, which was good. Zeph was starting to urge me to take a break, but just like a certain historical figure, I refused to. 
Eventually tho Jay picked me up and carried me to our room, tying me to the bed with  leash. A bit confused I looked at him, thinking he wanted to have some "fun time" if you catch my drift. However, he looked very unamused and stern. I tilted my head. "What's wrong?", was what I wanted to ask, but before I even managed to finish my last word, Jay slapped me really hard. I yelped and held my cheek, tearing up a bit as it stung badly. "What's wrong?! Have you even looked at yourself, Notch?! You're destroying yourself in order to help him, that's not how you're supposed to do this!", Jay hissed at me. I kinda just silently stared at the bed, holding my cheek and being teared up. He noticed that and hesitated, being able to feel just how much that hurt me. He glanced at the blanket before sighing and getting onto my lap, taking my hands into his and taking a look at the bruise. I didn't look at him at all, very silent. 
He sighed weakly and kept my hands in his, placing his head on my shoulder. "Please just take a break, love... I don't want to see you like this...", he whispered. I gave no reply, still not looking at him. He stayed hidden in my shoulder like that, using his free hand to caress my belly a bit. I glanced down, watching a bit as he did that. 
It would only need a few more days until I'd give birth. And I really didn't want that to happen so soon. It would be really painful after all, so I was very worried. 
Jay kept that up for a long time before he put his hand on my cheek. "I'm so sorry, hunny... I shouldn't have snapped at you like that. I know that you really want to help, but this isn't the way..." 
I curled up a small bit, something wasn't right. He thought it was just because of me breaking down or something, so he kept talking for a while. "I just want to prevent you from hurting yourself too much, this wouldn't be good. If you want to help, you shouldn't get yourself into danger. You're not Nightmare, only the Lords know how the hell he keeps returning after death anyway, it seems as if he doesn't follow the laws of the universe like we do. But even if, you're not the same, so if you die, it could be final. And I couldn't handle that thought, I need you. I-" 
A whimper interrupted him and he perked up, looking at me. "What's wrong?", he asked, removing his hand from my cheek, having healed me up. "Did I cause more damage? Oh god, I hope not, I'm so sorry if I-" 
"Shut up and get me to the emergency room you fucker!", I hissed back much sharper than intended, but I didn't care right now, holding my belly. He paused before realizing what was going on and starting to panic. I just kinda stared at him, deadpanned, as he tried to find out what to do. Eventually he caught himself tho and got me to where I needed to be, that being the closest hospital. He teleported there with me and handed me to the doctors. They immediately took me to the delivery room, where they got me ready. This wasn't good, even just those few days could change a lot for me and Hero's child. However, now I couldn't change it anymore. 

The following few hours were filled with screams and grunts, the nurses and doctors trying to keep me stable while Jay stayed at me side, refusing to leave. The process was agonizing enough to nearly make me pass out twice, I could barely catch my breath. 
However, when it was done, the doctor held an adorable baby boy in his arms with Jay's eyes and my hair, his skin being half Jay's color and half mine, kinda like Xalphire. I let out a shaky breath, my body trembling badly as I started relaxing. The nurse took the child away to weigh and measure him, Jay looked really excited with his scissors, which he had used to cut the cord. The doctor took those scissors so he had his hands free when the nurse returned with the child. I could barely even look over, raising my head a slight bit. The nurse got a pillow to make that easier for me, which I was thankful for. 
Eventually they handed me the fully healthy child, which immediately snuggled up to me, watching Jay and me with big, white eyes. I smiled and nuzzled him softly, making him giggle. 
"How will you call him?", the doc asked. Jay smiled and opened his mouth to reply. 

(Your decision~)
