Cold blooded 4: The keys and the stones

Chapter 17

Silver's POV:

Carrying my wife in my arms, I ran towards the center of the camp screaming bloody murder. "THE BABY'S COMING!!!" I repeated over and over again, running on nothing but excitement and fear.

I could see Luni's belly glowing a vibrant rainbow. "Silver! Are you sure it's here?!" Zey ran to me, keeping me company. "I promise you, this is not a drill-" I tried to tell him, but my wife's scream of pain and agony cut me off.

It scared to me to realize how much pain she was going through. "Quick, put her down now!" Zey made a soft bed of mud for her to lay on. With a quick and gentle motion, I put her down. "Someone quick! Get the dames and hot water!!" Zey demanded.

It felt like everyone was watching it happen. Humans and dragons alike wanted to see our baby. Heck, even the King of all dragons came over. "How is she?" Hart asked me. "She's fine, just in a lot of pain." I responded.

"Put your hand on top of her belly. It'll calm the newborn down mid-labor." He gave me some advice, which I followed. Turns out he was right, the glow and movements inside of her belly began to slow and dim.

"How'd you know that?" Luni and I asked with curiosity. Hart pointed backwards, and a loud horrid roar came from Elvis in her dragon form. "Oh... is she-" "Yes. Your wife and mine are going through the same thing." Hart nodded, knowing what I was going to say.

"Holy..." I didn't have the courage to even say that last word, fearing that God would no longer feel merciful enough to let my wife deliver our baby safely. And as if on cue, I could hear my wife moan in pain, but much less than before.

And immediately, the water dragons arrived and gave up the hot water, and the medical humans split up into teams of two to take care of my wife, and Hart's. "I should probably be going now, tell her not to die!" Hart went to Elvis in a blink.

And so, I let the humans and dragons who were experienced with the medical field do their thing. "I can't believe it... your little one is coming in about a day early." Zey inputted. "Actually, I think-" Luni began to speak, but I shushed her immediately.

Save your energy baby, it's gonna be over soon. Just hold on, okay?" I spoke entirely out of concern for her safety. Every second that passed by, I feared for her life. From afar, I could see Lele and Alex run over to us with lightning speed.

"What's happening?! Is she going into labor right now?!" Lele leaned towards Luni. "Yeah, the baby's coming. And fast!" I kept a tight hold of Luni's hand. "Let me help, I've been here before." Alex insisted. "Right. I'll stay too." Lele suggested.

"No. You need to make sure that no one interrupts us while we're busy. Keep us safe." Alex demanded. Lele had no time to protest, and instead ran towards the edges of the camp to keep the place safe.

"Alright, I need you to breathe Luni. Breathe." Alex began to instruct her on how to deliver the baby safely. To be honest, I wasn't listening to a single word she was saying. All I did was keep holding her hand until the delivery.

It felt like hours that the civilians were watching us as the screams of pain and life kept hassling on and on until dawn. "Once the birth takes place for dragonlings, a glow will happen. How bright that glow is will tell you how strong your kin shall be." Alex told me.

"Why're you telling me this?" I asked with high concern. "Because it happened to me, and now it's going to happen to her." Alex stayed beside Luni as she did one final push. And at the same time, a huge and bright glow came off of both Luni and a reptilian roaring Elvis.

And what I looked at on my end, were two precious twins. Both had their eyes close as they sobbed without ceasing, but there was a baby boy who's hair was white. And a girl who's hair was black like Luni's. To be honest, I knew immediately the boy would take after my Father.

"It's finished." One of the water dragons said, tending to my children. "Congratulations Mrs. Tenku, You truly are a warrior." Zey bowed with respect. I couldn't help but feel a sense of relief and joy. "You did good baby." I kissed and rubbed heads with her.

Then I took a moment to see what was happening with Elvis and her pregnancy. I could see a dragon egg near her now smaller body. The egg looked to have already hatched. So when I looked at Leo holding a baby, I knew that was theirs.

"Looks like they've done it safely as well." I mentioned. "Indeed they did Mr. Tenku, indeed they did." Zey nodded in agreement. "Did it happen without me?!" Lele made it back way too quickly, but quick enough to see the babies.

"OH MY GOD THEY ARE CUTE AS FU-" I immediately froze her mouth shut. I didn't want my babies hearing a single curse word until they were at least young adults. "Which one was firstborn?" I asked, melting the ice on Lele's mouth with a snap.

"The boy if I'm not mistaken." Zey assured. "What should we call them?" Luni asked me. It took me a minute to come up with some good names, but immediately it all came to me. "Karma and Sylvia." I named them.

"Karma will be the boy, and Sylvia will be the girl. What do you think my love?" I asked her considerately. "I think those are lovely names." She and I touched heads. Everyone around us clapped, roared, and cheered us, wishing us and the royals congratulations.

And all of a sudden, Wolfia dives in right next to us. "Am I late to the party-" her eyes rest right on my children. "Oh sh*t... he looks just like him." It sounded like Lex was saying that... or at least that's what I believe.

"Wait, who're you talking about? My baby??" I gave them a questionable look. "That 'baby' of yours looks like Majin." She inputted. "What?? Majin has black hair-" "I'm talking about the first dragonblood you moron. He even has the whiter hair and blue eyes to match!" She pointed.

I looked back at my babies and saw that their eyes had opened. My daughter's eyes were my blue, a cyan blue. And my son had his mother's eyes, a dark blue.
