our dark love

chapter 7

Alicia peréz

I'm really worried about my Hijo she is not herself at all she is a walking shadow of herself she has been saying she is fine everytime I asked even the boys are worried now, it's been two full month's since my son in law left I don't know were he went to but from the reaction I get when I asked Manuel I know it has everything to do with this mafia nonsense but it's the life they choose to live and I  as a parent I can only pray for their safety. I did ask Aya to help me with the baby things because we are welcoming them soon.I think hijo even forgot that because of this whole thing with her husband and as mother it hurts so bad because I know how it's like to be a first time mom and not have your husband present well with me my husband was forever working we had just gotten married when Manuel came and he works at a timber plant and the hour were not pleasant to me his heavily pregnant wife to be left alone and he was so late for the birth and that killed me but what comforted me was that he eventually came to the delivery room. so back to the story Aya made it but I heard from Manuel that she doesn't want a baby shower so all the hard work Aya put into planning it was for nothing she was hurt but also understood where she is coming from she misses that husband of her's so today I made sure I cook all her favourite and Manuel hired those massage people to come here so it will just be me her and Aya.

I go to her room because she has been in there from last night and we all tried to be with her but she just locked the door and I haven't seen her like this since Cuba and we all know how that ended so I have make sure she gets out of this dark place she is in. when I get to her wing this floor is to quiet but I can her groaning from the other side and it's the pain kind of groans and I full on panic trying to open the door she lock it from the other side and the breathing is heavy as well oh my God I hope the babies are not ready to come now because she is alone in there"Hijo..... please.... open for me" I say in tears now because I know what this kind of groaning means, I had three boys so I know labour pains when I hear themp "aaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh....shiiiiit" oh my God they are here oh Jesus have mercy on them, I start praying but then I remember I need to get in that room so I call Manuel"Manuel tráeme aceituna de la cocina y un bol por favor" (Manuel bring me olive oil from the kitchen and a bowl please) I'm in Hijo's room hurry" I know you can hear the panic in my voice and just then the door opens and she has sweat running down her face and her hair is all over the place she looks like a mess
"Mami this can't happen noooooooooo....w they have to wait for him he promised aaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh" and I know what she is saying and right then Manuel followed by Aya come running in Manu with a bottle of olive oil and the bowl I asked for "Aya boil water for me and put it in that bowl" and I think she just saw what's happening because she grabs the bowl from him and run to the kitchen on this floor and Manu is on the verge of tears brushing her back while she repeat what she said when I came in so I guess she is not fully registered that there is nothing she can do to keep them inside "we have to take her to the hospital mami I think the babies are coming" says Manuel in a breaking voice I know this is hurting him more that her "there is no time you have to help me lay her on the bed they are coming now and we won't reach the hospital lay her down and place that pillow behind her" and right then Aya comes in with the water and we get ready for the arrival of the babies and I tell her to get me a first aid and towels as many she can find and sanitize the scissors  I still remember what to do I have done this one other time in my life but these are twins anything can happen but one thing I know I'm not losing my daughter today so I have to calm down to do this and everything is ready and she has finally agreed to laying after much protest and now I'm looking at the baby crowning and I know it time for her to push "Hijo look at me I need you to push for me when you feel the contractions coming okay baby" and she nods he sweaty head and she pushes hard and the head it's half way through because the olive oil is helping and I dab the towel in hot water and she pushes once again and the head is fully out and I help rotate it with the whole body coming out after another big push and there she is "welcome to the world my princess" I say trying to clean her in the towel and I clip the umbilical cord and cut it using the surgical scissors and I hand her to Aya when she starts pushing again but now she is not screaming like she was there is this energy in the room and I look at her eyes the have changed in being cold and these face has been gone for so long I didn't know it was still the and now my princess is long gone and I start praying and I can feel something pulling at me and I'm loosing my strength but I keep praying and right then when she pushes one last time the lights to the room go out and now we are in the dark and I can tell from the silence that Manuel has fainted and so is Aya and I'm glad the baby was on the bed now I'm still in full on prayer and I acknowledged to God that I know this is not just a normal baby being born in pray "heavenly father I know in everything that happens on earth it is your will and I believe even the mysterious birth of this child is your will. but I plead with you oh lord! to shine your holy light upon this life, sent your Angeles to gaurd and protect in the mighty name of Jesus Christ your son and today I declare and degree light upon this soul and binding all evil spirits that are in this room with you holy ghost fire. lord it is in you I trust and I know lord you shall not forsake me in this hour and I know this appointment was set by you lord this is your handy work oh lord! and I accept the honour and challenge of receiving your product your angel a Messiah on earth you chose me for a reason and I accept oh God in the name of the Holy mother of Jesus and the mighty name of your son I call apon Michael the angle of war and justice to protect his soul for eternity in the name of the father the son and the holy spirit I pray Amen" and when I finish praying the lights come on and the baby is finally born and he is born in his Amniotic sac so I have to remove it and when I do there is a little boy with glowing skin like thousands of shinning Diamonds and right then he cries and it's nothing like I have heard before it's like thunder roars from the sky and he goes quiet and his eyes are open and they are a beautiful shade of grey it's the most beautiful thing I have ever seen in my life and nothing could have prepared me for what I head or saw after  that there was a light shinning in the corner of the room and he says "tell them to wait for him to name his son we gave then their peace the one they have been seeking and his journey starts now it will be hard but eventually his destiny with be revealed but worry not for he walks with angels he fears nothing" and it desapeairs like it was never there and he is not even crying but his beautiful eyes are wide open and I'm broght back by his older sister screaming her lung out and I see Hijo out and I clean the baby boy placing next his sister and attending my daughter after cleaning her and Im sure they are all okay I call the Mkhize doctor to check all of them here in the house before going to the hospital and it's only now the two wake up after I have cleaned and the mommy is still out "ma what was that or was I dreaming?" Asks Aya "nothing happened Hijo but you fainted and missed the little princes birth but he is fine now" and she is looking at them with so much love and I know she is indeed Alutha soulmate her love for her knows no bounds and Manuel is giving me looks of 'I know you saw it too' but I pay no mind to it because he is making a call and I know he is looking for the father of the babies and he is saying he doesn't care they must just get the message to him and he keeps saying code red over and over.
