Electrifying

Chapter 8

“Ma’am your doctor will have to-”

I cut her off and turned to Ian who was looking at our daughter.

“Ian, where’s our baby? Where’s Eclipse?”

“Electra-”

“I don’t want bullshit! I want an answer! I want my baby!”

“She’s gone.”

I froze and my body felt limp. It can’t be…

“What?”

“Eclipse is gone…they were only able to save one.” He said softly, his voice full of sorrow. For the time I could see his eyes were red rimmed from crying.

“No…no, no, no! It can’t be! I want to see for myself! Bring me Eclipse! Bring me my baby!”

“Ma’am-”

I turned to the nurse and zapped her with lighting. “Now!”

She quickly ran out holding her side and through my anger I started ripping out the IV in my arm and the monitors attached to my body.

“Electra! Babe you’ve got to calm down! Your eyes are red and if they see you like this they’ll take our other daughter.”

“They will not touch my baby,” I said pissed off. I got up from the bed in my hospital robe without a care and picked up my baby.

“Éclair…” I softly kissed her head and sat back down on the bed.

Éclair had her father’s dark brown hair and light heavily milked coffee skin with soft thin pink lips. I softly touched her cheek and smiled a little. She slowly opened her eyes and yawned. Her eyes were greenish blue, a mix of both Ian’s and mine. She stared at me for the longest time before looking around the room. Her eyes stopped on Ian. He smiled at her and kissed her head. She closed her eyes and yawned again. She tried placing her hand in her mouth because she was hungry. I opened the hospital dress and removed her hand to breast feed her. She slowly fell back to sleep still sucking away. Since she was a werewolf she already looked like a two month old instead of a fresh new born. Once she was finished drinking I burped her lightly and rubbed her back. I dazed off and soon Ian took her from my arms to hold her. It had been fifteen minutes and I was starting to get upset again. Where was my baby?

My dead baby.

The nurse soon came back holding a pink bundle and my eyes drifted over. She slowly walked over and placed the baby in my arms. My baby. My Eclipse. I felt the tears burning in the rims of my eyes and my last breath caught in my throat. She had the same hair as her sister’s but her skin was extremely pale and her lips weren’t the soft pink, but a faded blue. She didn’t move. She didn’t have a heartbeat, her eyes wouldn’t open and I realized my baby was really dead. I cried. I cried hard and held her close. My baby was dead she was gone. I lost my baby before I even got to know her. The worst thing a mother can go through is losing her child before leaving this world herself. I continued to cry and never wanted to let her limp body go. I felt sparks flying from one of my hands and when I looked up to see Ian was touching my hand and he was also crying while still holding Éclair.

I heard a new heartbeat in the room. It was small and I saw the same surprised look on Ian’s face. I looked back at Eclipse and her lips were a light pink and her skin became the same milk coffee as her sister’s her hair was the same but she had one white streak in the front. She started squirming in my arms and her eyes lightly fluttered open. They were light blue with a tint of green in them. She was alive. My baby was alive. I smiled as I heard her cry. The nurse was stuck in shock and I hugged my child tightly. She was alive. My baby girl was alive. Now I had both my Éclair and my Eclipse. But my happiness wouldn’t last long unfortunately…

i know its short but i cant throw things where they don't belong.
