Be His Light

No way....

You and Jeff were cuddling on the couch watching tv when you felt a sharp pain in your stomach. At first you could ignore it, but then it became agonizing. Jeff began to worry, his wife eyes widening even more. You stumbled to the bathroom clutching you stomach, the pain overcoming rational thoughts.
"(Y/N), you better not be joking, are you okay?" Jeff asked, his voice rough. All you could manage was something that resembled a nod and a shake of your head. He sighed then gathered you in his arms, brushing your hair away from your face. You were just feeling better when you retched, barely making it into the toilet. Jeff held your hair back as you emptied the contents of your stomach. Finally, you were done and you leaned back against him, the pain in your stomach residing into a dull ache.

Hours later, you were laying in bed, Jeff was waiting on you hand and foot. No one in the house knew what was wrong with you but all of them were worried.
"Babe, help me think of what it could be...please. I can't stand to see you in pain, (Y/N)." Jeff begged, grasping your hand between his. You blinked slowly and looked at him, your mind feeling hazy.
"I....I don't know." You replied sluggishly.
"Dammit!" Jeff exclaimed, raking his hands through his hair harshly.  You flinched at the sharp, jerky movement. Jeff pulled out his cell phone with a sigh. "I fucking hate talking to Slender..." He punched in the numbers then left the room to talk on the phone with the household leader. A few moments later, Slender teleported into your room, an aura of concern surrounding him.
"What is wrong, child?" He asked. You shrugged, your half lidded eyes drooping. "Explain what's happened then." He sighed. All of a sudden, the sharp pain returned and you retched over the side of the bed into a trash can. Slender laughed. "Ah, I see. (Y/N)....you are pregnant, child. How I didn't see this before...." Slender trailed off.
"She's what?!" Jeff exclaimed. The look in his eyes was murderous. "Who did you sleep with while we weren't....together?" Jeff growled.
"Jeff, don't be idiotic. It's yours you dimwit. She's maybe around three weeks possibly four, and it's nearly February." Slender defended you.
"Shit!!" Jeff cursed under his breath. "New Years...." He mumbled. You simply smiled and rubbed your tummy.
"I'm....I'm pregnant? That's....that's actually...insane." You laughed. Slender patted you on the head.
"Ah yes, but also be careful, child. Jeff is a Proxy, that means he isn't human, so neither will your child be. This isn't a standard pregnancy, that's why you are experiencing such pain." Slender said stoically. You nodded.
"It's okay...I'll be okay....Jeff, we'll be okay." You reassured yourself. Jeff slammed the door as he left.
"He'll come around." Slender mumbled.

Jeff did come around, but he was also very protective. He never let you walk anywhere, you weren't allowed to go down or up stairs, you weren't allowed to cook, or leave the house....for seven months. Your pregnancy went by quickly with the child only being half mortal. Jeff freaked out when your water broke. He wanted to rush you to the hospital, but Slender reminded him that the child wasn't human. At least not fully.
Slender delivered the child....but you didn't do well through the delivery. The child was happy, healthy, and with a full set of razor sharp teeth, well developed. But you were bleeding profusely. At least you got to hold your child with its downy black hair, sparkling green eyes and pale white skin. You got to see her smile and coo and play with a lock of your hair. You got to feed your child for the first and last time. Jeff held you as you held the baby and the last picture of you alive was taken.
The pain in your stomach grew. It grew and grew like a balloon as you blow it up. Until, finally, it burst. Your ears began to bleed while you held the child and Slender quickly gave the child to Jeff and told him to leave. He just handed his child to Expressionless then held your hand. Your nose began to bleed next. You didn't panic, you knew what was going on. You were dying. Your eyes began to cry blood. Your veins began to turn black so they looked like spider webs beneath your skin. You looked at Jeff, the color draining from your face and eyes.
"Jeff....I've always....I've always loved you....and I always will....Jeff...and I love my Tessa, too."
