Love Forever

Chapter Eleven: Nate

    Jamie and I froze in place as the water dribbled down my legs. Suddenly I was very afraid. I’d had no time to prepare for this. I don’t know how to take care of a child let alone a baby.

    How would we raise a vampire child?

    Pain hit me all at once in my lower back. I glanced down to also see blood seeping with the water.

    Pain again. Was it contractions?

    Lucas ran to me and picked me up from where I stood and into his arms. He began to run and everything but Jamie and Lucas’ face flew by in a blur. Jamie held my hand as we ran into a cave that was a branch off of where we were staying that I had never noticed before.

    Darkness swallowed us and then all at once we were in a fire lit room. Flames danced in the four fire places that circled the square room.

    And then there was more pain. The contractions were becoming closer together.

    Lucas stood me up and had disappeared through the cave and was back with a man I had never met, Jack, Izabell, and carrying Kat.

    “Doctor, this is Moth. Moth, this is DR. Leon Chang.” Lucas said quickly lying me down on a small mattress covered in pillows and blankets.

    "What happend to the other doctor?" Kat asked.

    "She couldn't be here but i'm better anyways. Shhh! Don't tell her i said that." He said smiling jokingly.

    I laid my head back and took a deep breath. “Nice-“and then another contraction hit and I hissed loudly and squeezed the mattress, when it had ended, I finished, “to meet you, Doc.”

    “How far apart are the contractions?” He asked pulling a black sheet over me and pulling my pants off.

    “Twenty-five seconds,” Lucas and I answered at once.

    He glanced under the sheet and gasped. “You are ready. I need Kat, Jamie, and Iz to stay. You guys need to leave for the moment.”

    I glanced at Lucas at the same time he glanced at me. Our eyes locked but the moment was ruined as another contraction hit me and I screamed.

    *~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*

               LUCAS' P.O.V.

    The doctor glanced under the sheet and gasped. “You are ready. I need Kat, Jamie, and Iz to stay. You guys need to leave for the moment.” The doctor looked me straight in the eyes and shook his head once.

    She will be fine, I swear it, his thoughts said running quickly into my head.

    I glanced at Moth at the same time she glanced at me. Our eyes locked in place but she suddenly clenched her jaw and squinted in pain. Her mouth opened and a shriek tumbled out and rang in my ears.

    Oh, pain, pain, pain. Make it stop, please someone, make it stop, her thoughts ran through my head in a blur of pain.

    I turned and stepped into the cave then ran until I reached the middle of it. 

    Jack raced after me and stopped to stand beside me as we heard her shriek again.

    “It is eating her insides to get out.” I mumbled.

    “The baby was?” Jack asked quietly. “How do you know?”

    “I could hear it. It’s thoughts I mean. Its blood crazy, starving, but it loves her. It loves the sound of her voice and when she strokes her stomach. She was right. It is a boy.” I whispered then took a large breath. “But she still has to much human blood in her from our last meal and of course her own. It’s a feast in there for him, a bloody feast. He doesn’t want to hurt her but he thinks that’s how he has to too get out.”
