Mystical Changes ~ Vampire Academy Fanfiction

23

It's been another 2 weeks. I am officially 38 weeks and I feel like I am about to pop! I feel like I am the size of a planet! Dimitri always showers me with love and tells me I am beautiful, but I don't feel beautiful. I am so uncomfortable, and I have to pee every two seconds...

Dimitri keeps taking photos of the bump, he's so in love. Don't get me wrong, I am totally in love too, I'm just ready to get this baby girl out of me! It was a Monday morning and we were getting ready for work. "God, just look at you my love. You're glowing!" Dimitri said as he wrapped his arms around me from behind, kissing the top of my shoulder. "Oh stop it!" I laughed. "You're so full of it." I giggled as I turned to face him. He gently rested his hands on the sides of my belly. His eyes lit up as she kicked. "She's gonna be a fighter." He smiled then leaned down and kissed me.

"That she is. Alright, let's go. Before I need to pee again." We both laughed. He kissed me one more time then went to grab our stuff to leave. I went to take a step then felt a sharp pain. "Ooh." I tried to breath through the pain. Dimitri dropped everything he was holding and rushed to my side. "Are you okay?" He asked, voice full of concern. I just nodded as I squeezed the life out of his hand. "Wow. That hurt." I stood back up straight and shook it off. "I'll tell you, I'm not looking forward to labour, when pre-labour things hurt that much!" I went to move again then felt the grossest thing... My expression had him concerned again.

"What, what happened?" He was freaking out. "I think I just peed myself." I said quietly, so embarrassed! He just chuckled. "Oh sweetie." I wanted to cry, how can I have done that? He looked at the ground, thankfully I was on the tiles! "Roza, I think your water just broke..." He said slowly. Queue my turn to freak out. "Oh God. I'm not ready for this. It's too early. I still have two weeks! Well... one. I am so not ready. Oh my god." Dimitri was holding my hand. "It's gonna be okay. I promise." He kissed me, trying to snap me out of it. It worked. "We're having a baby!" He said, getting excited. The excitement was contagious. "We're having a baby!" I smiled.

Dimitri jumped into action. He always handles things better than I do. "I'm scared." I said quietly, he stopped what he was doing and came back over to me. He cupped my face in his hands and kissed me. "You're kick ass Rose Hathaway. You're gonna be fine!" He kissed me again, I just smiled. "Right. We have the go bag, which has everything in it. Sydney will come look after the pups. All we have to do is get you to the hospital." Dimitri let the pups inside and shut them in. They could tell something was up, they were so clingy to me. Dimitri took everything out to the car then came back for me. We were about to leave then I had another contraction.

I cried out in pain and the pups freaked out and started howling. Once it was over he rushed me to the car. He'd put a towel on my seat so I don't ruin the interior... fair call. I had another contraction on the way to the hospital. It was a lot less comfortable to experience in the car. I cried in pain. Dimitri gave me his hand to squeeze while he drove. I'm surprised I didn't make him crash... "We're almost there hun. Just hang in there. You're doing great!" His reassuring words did not help at all. We'd called Dr Norvick before we left, so she was ready for us when we got there.

"Alright, let's have a baby!" She said getting amped up as she took us back to a room. I was back to freaking out, this hurts so much! "How are you feeling Rose?" She asked once I was settled on the bed. I just groaned. Dimitri was standing beside me, stroking my hair. "I know you're freaking out Rose, but you're going to do great. You're a champ." She smiled me. If only words of encouragement made it hurt less. "It hurts so much." I said as a tear escaped down my cheek. "You're gonna be okay sweetie. I'm here for you." Dimitri said as he kissed me on the forehead. As he said that, I got another contraction. "Oh shut up! This is all your fault!" I cried in pain waiting for the contraction to pass.

Dr Norvick just laughed. "Don't take offense, every woman I have birthed a baby for has said that to the father." She tried to make him feel better. "I'm sorry." I said as I looked at Dimitri. "I didn't mean it." He just laughed. Then another contraction started. "Nope. I'm not sorry. This hurts so much. Why did you do this to me!" I cried in pain again. "Can she get an epidural?" Dimitri asked as I was squeezing the life out of his hand. "Unfortunately the labour is progressing too quickly. She's already at 7cm. By the looks of it, it won't be long now." Dr Norvick said as she removed her hand from my hoohaa 🙊

We weren't waiting around for too much longer before I hit the magic number of 10cm... "Alright Rose. In a minute I'm gonna ask you to push. I need you to do that for me, okay?" She asked as she got in position. I just nodded. "You can do this. I'm here for you." Dimitri said as he gave me a quick kiss. "Alright, Rose push now for me." And so I did. "Holy fuck! Oh my god it hurts too much. I can't do this!" I cried. "I can't do this." Dimitri wiped my hair away that was stuck to my face. "You can't stop now Rose. We're on the home stretch, just think about meeting that baby girl of yours." The Dr encouraged.

I don't know how long this went on for, but I was about ready to give up. I was in so much pain. "Rose. It is important that you listen to me now. I need you to not push until I tell you to." The Dr sounded serious. "I feel like I need to push. I have to push." I said, freaking out again. "Rose, honey. Listen to me. I am trying to keep you intact down here. I need you to just hold off on pushing, just for a moment." She added. I started crying. "I can't do this anymore. I have to stop." Dimitri wiped my tears away. "You're doing great." He said as he kissed my forehead. "Okay Rose, honey. When I say push, you are going to bare down and give me one good last push, okay?" I barely managed a nod.

"Now Rose. Push for me." I did what she asked. I pushed and I screamed while I did it. Then, I felt relief. She lifted our baby girl up from behind the sheets and placed her on my bare chest. I continued to cry, but it was tears of joy now. "Here's your baby girl. You did great honey." The Dr said as she started to wipe some of the goop off of her. I looked at Dimitri, he looked so happy. "You did it Roza. Our baby girl is here." Even he shed a few tears. He kissed me then our daughter. I was so happy. I just couldn't take my eyes off of her. She is so beautiful. "Alright, does dad want to cut the cord?" The Dr asked, he just grinned. Once everything was all finished and done, the Dr got me cleaned up and settled in bed.

Welcome to the world our previous little girl. Isabella Joy Hathaway-Belikov. Poor kid, such a long name to learn! But we are so in love.
