Judith had already come back from her vacation; On time actually.

There were only two weeks remaining until I deliver a newborn. I was feeling mixed emotions.. I know this is a time to be happy but, with everything going on with my Mother and the labor, just gives me so much stress

Erik had noticed.

"(Y/N)? You look tense" He wondered behind me, massaging my shoulders

Being the childish person I am, I failed at holding a giggle from escaping my mouth

"Erik, you know I'm ticklish" I send a smirk at him while slowly yet carefully turning to him

"It's almost time" Erik grinned like a kid receiving gifts for the first time

"I know. I'm quite nervous.. What if everything goes wrong?"

He sighed, making his way closer to me, pecking my forehead

"Do not stress, (Y/N). The process will be fine." Erik looked down at me, holding me close to him as he stroked my (H/C) soft hair

"Do it for me. Do it for our future child" He sang in a rather hypnotizing melody

"Okay."

With a nod, I felt small pinches at my stomach. Assuming that is is just child moving around, I made my way to Judith's study

She was there

"Judith, I'm so glad that you will be here to be by my side" I mentioned, once again feeling the sudden pain

I couldn't help but wince at the pain. It was much stronger. But not strong enough to make me fall in agonizing pain

"Are you alright, (Y/N)?" Judith walked over to me, placing her hand on my back

"Y-Yeah..Its just the baby" I weakly smiled, relived that the pain was now gone

Judith gave a warm smile as she dragged a chair over to me so I could sit. "I'm delighted that I came on time to see my dearest friend's newborn"

"How are you feeling?" She rapidly dragged another chair to me, sitting on it as she rested her elbows on the arms of the chair

"Really nervous, now that you mention it. Though I also feel proud of myself for managing nine months of severe pain" We both shared a giggle

"We were so young. Now we are adults, your going to be a mother, your possibly going to get married.." Judith went on and on, practically rambling

"Why don't you settle down too? You know? Find a guy, have a child, and so on" I curiously asked her

"It's not so easy, my dear (Y/N)." She noted

"Your already married. Just move in with him and have a kid" Chuckling, I felt something strange

"I don't know.. (Y/N) this is about you right now. Not me" Judith sipped her green tea, pouring some in a cup for me

"Alright" I laughed softly until a sharp pain hit my stomach.

"Agh..." Grunting at the reminiscing pain, I stood up swiftly feeling water trickle down my legs

"(Y/N)!!" Judith stuttered, rather shocked "Come on! Let's get you to Erik!" I nodded in agreement as she helped me to Erik, where he was having wine while reading a novel

"(Y/N)? What's the matter?" He placed the wine down, rushing towards myself and Judith

"Erik, she's in labor!" Judith couldn't remain calm

Erik managed to show a grin which was filled with many emotions

"Let's go then!" Erik sprinted to a carriage Judith had out, ready to take us to the hospital

"Are you ready, my love?" Erik had tears of wonder and joy in his ocean blue eyes with a mixture of green

**Four hours later into the delivery**

"Mademoiselle, please push! The baby is almost out! Just one last, strong push!"

After hours of pushing, grunting, and feeling such terrible pain, I heard a cry

"Miss, (Y/N)! Congratulations, you have just given birth to a healthy baby boy!" The nurse spoke in a cheerful tone

"My god.." I held my little newborn in my arms as tears ran down my cheeks and on to the covers

"(Y/N)... He is.. Normal" Erik looked at our child with interest

"I was afraid he would look like me.. No child should suffer what i went through" He spoke, kneeling down to the beds height

"Oh Erik.. I never thought I would be able to do this..." I caressed his cheek "You were here by my side through all of this"

"I will always be by your side, my beloved" Tears swiftly rolled down Erik's cheeks as he planted a kiss on my lips

I couldn't help but let out a small sob. All of this stress I was under during pregnancy, and I still managed to get over it. I guess it's what really matters that keeps you motivated on what you really want. And what I wanted was to see my child.

And it happened

Our newborn let out quite a lot of cries, which only seemed to make both me and Erik smile.

There I held, me and Erik's child.

Judith was out getting us something to eat. I also thank her for giving us a roof to live under while I was in need for care. She is like a sister I never had. And I thank her for all of the stuff she has given me and Erik.

Of course, being the friend she is, she went out and purchased little newborn clothing. Which I find highly adorable and liking. And so dose Erik.

"I have the food, eat up. You'll need to regenerate your energy" Judith smiled, handing us trays of food

"Thank you, Judith. May (Y/N) and I have a few minutes to ourselves?"

"Of course" And with that, Judith was gone

Erik places our child back into my arms, sitting down next to me, gazing endlessly into my (E/C) eyes.

"There's something missing"

"What is it?" I responded

"Our child needs a name" Erik stared at our newborn, who was now sleeping

"I have had quite a few names in mind but, only one of them seems to tickle my fancy" I mentioned, grinning

"Go for it" He chuckled

"Gustave"
