Chapter 55: "Elyas"

•Luella's Point Of View•

"It's okay, take a deep breath" Aya whispered tying my hair as I cried my eyes out, how am I going to push a whole baby out of me?

Lewis was sitting in his wheelchair looking stressed as he stared at me.

"You're ready to deliver" the doctor checked between my legs and called some nurses in.

Shit.

Lewis stood up from his wheelchair and I shook my head, he stopped me from talking.

"I'm fine" he walked near my legs and stood next to the doctor talking to him.

Aya left and my mom came in with a huge grin on her face.

"You okay?" She kissed my forehead and kissed Lewis's cheek.

"No!" I sobbed and the nurses started to get everything ready.

"You can push now" a nurse smiled, Lewis came over to me and held my hand kissing my skin.

"You're going to do amazing, and everything will be okay" he whispered.

A couple more pushes, crying and screaming, "the baby is out" Lewis whispered his eyes getting watery as he stared between my legs.

I heard a cry making my whole stress wash away, I didn't feel anything, I felt relaxed.

They handed me the baby and Lewis quickly lifted the blanket down.

"It's a fucking boy!" He yelled with happiness making my heart clench.

Tears streamed down his and my face, I held my baby close to me as he cried.

They took the baby away, cleaned him, and came back to give Lewis a turn to hold him.

"Hi baby" Lewis's voice broke as he kissed the top of his nose "I'm your daddy, and that's your mommy"

"That's grandma" he smiled holding our baby's hand to wave at my mom who was sobbing on the chair.

"Do you wanna open your eyes- oh yes you did" "he has my god damn eyes" "I'm so fucking happy right now" Lewis whispered.

They took the baby to a different room and Lewis went with them as they stitched me up, and cleaned me.

I sat on the wheelchair, my dad pushing me with Nasir besides him.

"I'm proud of you, sweet girl" Nasir gave my forehead a kiss, he had red puffy eyes, and he looked upset.

What happened?

We got in the room where the baby and Lewis layed on the bed doing skin to skin.

"Here's mommy" Lewis grinned kissing our baby's forehead.

"Pa, you good?" Lewis's face dropped once he saw his dad with the most saddest look.

"Y-Yeah" he nodded trying to force a smile.

I took the baby in my arms, "Pa what happened?"

"Come here" Nasir whispered pulling Lewis to his chest.

"It's your grandpa"

Oh no.

"What happened? Is he okay?" Lewis frowned pulling away.

Nasir's lip quivered, "he's happy now"

"No Pa" "what are you talking about?" Lewis shook his head.

Bringing, and taking a life.
