She's Back

Regina and Eliza

Regina

"Mmm!! Don't touch me you disgusting little vermin! You did this to me!" Eliza screamed at Daniel who went to help her into one of the positions that she had learned at the class all of us had taken.

"Mmm gahhhh!!! Shit shit shit!!!! Just reach in and pull it out!" She screamed, slowly moving from her position on all fours, trying to stand upright.

"Someone help me up please!" She yelled in annoyance, I sighed and Daniel urged me forward, making me drag the cranky queen to her feet.

"Jesus! It hurts! Please make it stop! God!" She yelled, reaching out and finding my shoulders, leaning over me while her painful wave lasted.

"Eliza breathe." I said getting her to focus, gripping her wrist as she breathed slowly, her hand now squeezing my shoulder muscle painfully.

"Should it be hurting this bad?! It doesn't feel like it should be this bad!" She screamed, panic NOW filling her tone as I reached down and felt her stomach muscles tensing up.

"It's normal, nothing should be happening right now, you're only five centimeters." I explained, she nodded and tried to relax reaching out for the bed to kneel in front of.

"Let me help you." I offered, taking her hand while she slowly lowered down, stopping suddenly before I heard a faint popping noise and then a gush of water trickle down her legs.

"OH GOD! GAHHHHHH! THIS HURTS! AM I BLEEDING?! PLEASE DON'T CUT ME OPEN! I MEAN IF YOU HAVE TO DO IT, BUT IF NOT PLEASE DON'T!" She sobbed, Eva smiled gently and squatted behind her, carefully moving her away from the bed.

"Eliza, there isn't any blood, I promise you that." I said looking down at the clear fluid that dampened her legs and loose dress that she was in.

"What was that then?!" She demanded, now in a full on post traumatic sob, Eva's exam only making it worse.

"Eliza honey, stop hyperventilating, your making the heartbeat drop." Eva said while checking, quickly removing her hand and grabbing the portable heart monitor.

"Shhh, calm down my love, she's just checking." Daniel said rubbing her cheek softly, getting her to quiet down somewhat.

"Do you want to hear your baby?" Eva asked while holding the thrashing queen still, she shuddered slightly and nodded, pulling away from me to allow Eva some room.

"You're going to hear it's heartbeat okay?" She said catching her breath, moving her loose dress up to expose the side of her stomach, pressing the remote down on it, the loud heartbeat coming from the machine.

"The baby is fine, I told you." I said winking, making the queen exhale and loosen her grip on my wrist.

"WHERE IS DANIEL?! I NEED TO KILL HIM RIGHT ABOUT NOW!" She screamed, crushing my hand, I sighed and held her back while Daniel dodged her swings, reaching out for his fiancé's hands.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry I got you pregnant and you have to go through this right now." He said gently, not phased by her harsh profanities that she hurled his way.

"Eliza, don't get angry, just breathe slowly and try to relax." I said knowing that my advice was easier said than done.

"Mmm! Gahhh!!! Please help me!" She cried, I nodded and took her hand, helping her to her feet and slowly swaying back and forth until the trembling in her hands stopped.
