My Mate

I understand now

Freen POV

We are in a jungle.

"There...." Lucas points towards two people running in the jungle.

I know them.

THEY ARE MY PARENTS.

This is the first time I have seen them not in pictures or videos.

We followed them.

They stopped after ensuring that they are very far and deep in the jungle.

"I have never seen them before" I said as walked closer to them.

My mother sat down out of exhaustion, she have a baby bump...she is pregnant and my father sat on his knees rubbing my mother's back who is having trouble in breathing.

"That's you" Lucas said pointing towards the baby bump. "The trouble maker."

"What were you doing here?" I asked.

"They wanted me here" Lucas replies and points towards the place where he was hiding and watching all this.

"We were kind-of friends. Your father did a lot of good work to make peace between the two species".

"I...I cannot run anymore" my mother pleads to my father. "IT....HURTS" She said as she started crying.

"We have to keep running Love. They are still following us" My father picked my mother in his arms. At this moment, her water broke and she went in labour.

"She is coming out" my other whispered to my father.

My father laid my mother down with her head on his thighs. They just looked at each other with tears in their eyes.

"They are talking to each other in their minds" Lucas whispered to me.

"Whom they are running from?" I asked.

"You will see...." He replies.

"No more running?" My father whispers as tears escaped his eyes.

"Yes no more. Our baby girl is more important." My mother held his hand and smiled as tears continued falling from her eyes.

"What....what is happening?" I am confused.

Lucas gave me a handkerchief to wipe my tears. "She is in labor, they can no longer run like this. Delaying your birth longer can kill you."

They are still talking through telepathy.

My father signals my mother to take deep breaths and she nodded and started taking deep breaths as they tried pushing me out.

This went on for a few minutes, until finally a baby girl was born.

I was born.

"Blahh...blahhhh" the girl cries, but my parents just looked at her with loving eyes and hugged her.

"Everything is good baby. Your dad and mom are here" my father whispers in the child's ear and the girl stopped crying.

"Such an obedient girl" My mother said and took me in her arms to feed me.

Why are they here? In the middle of jungle, lying in dust and blood. A moment back they were very scared, but once they saw the baby girl, I can see it in their eyes that now they are pretending to be strong, but they are still very scared.
