"Satoru!" .. "Satoru, wake up!"
You jab your elbow into his side for the fifth time and his eyes finally open. "Hm..what? W-what time is it?" He rubs his eyes sleepily trying to wake himself up. "I don't know, but I think my water just broke"
"WHAT?" He immediately hoisted himself up into a sitting position beside you. "I felt.. a gush.. down there" you grimaced recalling the moment in your mind. "Are you sure it's not pee?"
"Yes I'm sure it's not pee! I'm not feeling any pain yet though" He pulled his phone off the side and checked the time, it was 3am. Why do all babies decide to come during the night? He opened up WhatsApp and tapped out a message to Shoko for advice.
Gojo ~ So y/n's waters broke, um what now? Sent at 03.07
~ Shoko Is she getting any pain yet? Sent at 03.15
Gojo ~ Erm, she says not yet. What the hell do I do? Sent at 03.18
~ Shoko No need to get her into the medical wing yet. Keep her comfortable and watch out for contractions. 5/1 rule, a contraction lasting one minute that happens every five minutes means babys close. Keeping my phone on loud, ping me as soon as you need me Sent at 03.25
"What did she say?" He placed his phone back on the bedside unit, "Nothing we can do yet but wait for the pain to start" Just as he finished what he was saying a mild cramping stretched across your pelvis making the skin on your stomach tighten. "Hmm.. I think I just had one" He looked at you confused, "Aren't you supposed to be screaming in pain or something?" You slap a hand onto your face, how can someone so pretty and so smart be so dense at times. "It's not like the movies Satoru! It builds up over time"
"I'm going to make a coffee, do you want a decaf or cocoa?" He offered. "Just water is good, can you fill up my bottle though so I can keep it with me" Gojo nodded and exited the room. You decided to get out of bed and strip off the now dirty bedsheets. You stuffed them in the laundry hamper and entered the bathroom, flipping the switch to the shower on. Another contraction radiated across your abdomen taking your breath away for a moment, it was more painful than the last but still very tolerable.
You heaved yourself into the hot water and allowed it to hammer into your back, the thumping of the liquid into your skin soothing the ache. "Everything ok?" Satoru placed your bottle next to the sink and slid open the glass shower door. "Mmmmmff.. yes.." your body tensed in pain. "Your having another one aren't you?" he glanced over to the bathroom clock to note the time before reaching in and massaging your lower back.
"We better strap ourselves in for a long night" you mumbled.
㊕
Breathe.
Just focus on breathing.
You'd spent the whole of the rest of the night at home trying to do anything to distract yourself from the pain. Movies, food, yoga ball, a walk. Literally everything until the contractions were so close together that you were no longer able to speak through them.
Gojo had kept in contact with Shoko and she'd told him to take you into the main medical building. By the time you arrived she'd prepped a room, fully equipped for any scenario and even managed to secure one with a bath.
There you were, kneeling on all fours on a sterile bed rocking back and forth. "Your doing so great baby" Gojo was sitting by your head affectionately stroking your hair behind your ear and whispering words of encouragement. Shoko came into the room with one of the overseeing medical practitioners. "Satoru, Yaga is on the phone outside. I think he wants an update from yourself" He nodded and stood up to leave the room.
"Satoru, please don't leave me" Your voice desperately pleading with him, he was the one constant that was helping you get through this and you couldn't bare the thought of him leaving, not even for a minute. He returned to your side, not taking his eyes off you. "Sorry Shoko, you'll have to tell him I can't right now" She gave him a quick nod before leaving the room again.
"Uuhhhh.. I can feel pressure" your words turning into a yell. "Fuck seriously, there's something right there" "Shoko!" He yelled as loud as he could. Your brunette friend put some silicone gloves on. "Ok y/n, I'm going to check your cervix and see how dilated you are. It might be a bit uncomfortable"
She began the examination, you squeezed your eyes closed with discomfort. "Oh wow. Babies head is right there. Your ready to push"
㊕
"I can't push anymore.. I can't!" You screamed, tears rolling down your face. "Yes you can, your so close!" Shoko urged you on from between your legs. Satoru grasped your hand, "Remember to squeeze my hand as tight as you need to". You felt Shoko manouvering the baby to get them into a better position for delivery, the pain was excruciating. "Ok y/n, I think one more push and they'll be out. Are you ready?"
The overwhelming urge to push flowed through your body. You felt like you were about to break Satoru's hand with the amount of force you were crushing it with. He was watching you in awe, all he could think of was how the hell were you doing this. He always knew you were a powerful sorcerer, but now he fully understood how strong you really were. Liquid gathered on his bottom lid at the first sight of his baby entering the world.
A high pitch cry filled the room.
"It's a girl"
㊕
"Let her sleep" Satoru cooed at Shoko who was adjusting your bedsheets. He perched next to you as you dozed, completely exhausted from the labor. Gojo sat on a small armchair with a tiny little bundle wrapped in hospital blankets. She noticed his cheeks were stained with tears where he'd been crying. "Look at how beautiful she is" he sniffled. Shoko smiled and nodded, "she's absolutely breathtaking".
"Does she have a name?" Gojo smiled. "Yes. We both decided for a girl, Yuna"
"Mmm Yuna Gojo, that fits perfectly. And just look at those eyes, a mix of her parents"
The snowy haired baby girl looked up at her father with glowing amethyst orbs.
The sorcerer to dethrone the unbeatable Satoru Gojo had been born.
