We Will See Each Other Again

"AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!"

The sounds coming from Hild made Rebekah quiver. She sat on a chair on the other side of the room as Helga, Gyda and Blaeja helped her sister-wife give birth, Gyda and Blaeja helped Hild stand upright while Helga knelt before her checking the progress of the birth. It had been six hours and yet the babe had not come out yet. While it had done much to take Rebekah's mind off of the current situation it made her nervous about her own impending birth.

Hilds cheeks were red, her blonde her plastered to her face with sweat, she panted heavily and screamed as she felt an indescribable burning pain in her nether regions. She had hoped the birth would be quick but it seemed that she could remove all hopes of that happening after the sixth hour passed. "You're doing well Hild, it'll be over soon," Helga said as she held her hand. More flesh mixed with other liquids and blood poured from her womanhood which stained the front of Helga's dress.

Helga had experienced many birthings in her life. While she had no children herself she had assisted in the birthing of many women, and there was scarcely a better person to have had nearby when the process started.

The birthing continued on with Hilds screams only getting louder. Helga gave her a tonic that would relieve her pain slightly, but from what Rebekah saw it didn't do much. She also saw Helga place a green paste around the lips of Hild's hole, she said it would help with the stretching as well as stop it from bleeding too much. All four girls nearly leapt for joy when Helga said she could see the babes head, it seemed as if it wouldn't be much longer now.

Meanwhile, outside the birthing room, Elijah stood vigil. Hild has said she did not mind if he was present inside, but he would've rather not seen it. Seeing it only made him think of Tatia... he hadn't spoken to her in so long, he missed her smile, her voice. He wondered if he had spent more time pursuing her if she would have been the one in that room giving birth to their child. Though it was useless to think of such things now, especially when it was possible they'd all die in a few days.

Back in the birthing room, Helga had her hand at the entrance of Hild's womanhood helping to guide the babe out. It was made a lot easier due to her upright position and with a final scream, Hild managed to push the babe out.

Hild almost fell backwards due to her exhaustion, nearly ten hours of standing up while trying to birth to her babe, it was only Gyda and Blaeja who managed to keep her standing. Soon though Hild's eyes perked up as she heard a sound she never knew she needed to hear.

*cries*

The cries of a baby echoed throughout the room, and after cutting the cord that connected them Helga stood up holding her child. "It's as you said Hild, a beautiful daughter," Helga said as she held the crying babe in her arms.

Gyda and Blaeja helped lay Hild on the bed gently while Helga wrapped the newborn in a blanket. Hild despite being exhausted reached out for her child. Helga stepped forward and placed her in her arms.

Hild looked at her babe and in that moment she knew she'd never love anything as much as she did her. "My beautiful Morgyn..." she said tiredly.

The rest of the girls smiled as Hild looked at Morgyn with such love and affection. However, their smiles soon turned to frowns and looks of confusion as Hilds smile turned into tears and she started to sob. "I'm so sorry Morgyn..." she whispered as tears streamed down her face.
