The Devil gets his Angel

Part 18: 9 Months

(AN: this will be a short chapter sorry! Also sorry for the bad update I have started other stories and I am busy!)

I wake up to the sounds of grunts and hammering. I walk into the baby's room to see Elijah and Alexander working on the crib.

"Sorry, didn't mean to wake you." Elijah said with pants.

"You're fine." I answer "how long have you guys been here?" I ask.

"Just for a couple of hours." Alexander answers with a harsh tone.

"I'm going to go get dressed and we all could probably go out to eat somewhere?" I say.

"Yeah, that sounds good!" Elijah gives me a smile then starts to hammer wood again.

"I can't, I'm busy with stuff." Alexander bitterly says to me.

"Okay." Is all I say. I go into my room putting on an oversized sweater and black tights.

I don't know what was wrong with Alexander. He ignored me for a whole week after my stomach got bigger and had Elijah feel when the baby kicked. Alexander never wanted to feel her kick or just feel my stomach. After a while I stopped talking to him and he was fine with it, Alexander never talked or came to me about anything. I know he doesn't want to be apart of my child's life, so once the baby has stopped breast feeding and can walk I'm going to leave this place. Elijah is going to help me escape and get a new identity.

"I'm gonna head out, Katherine." Alexander said clearing his throat.

"Okay." I say not looking at him and he doesn't look at me either. When I didn't hear him leave I turned around to see he was debating on wether to tell me something or not.

"Katherine," he starts "I'm seeing someone and-" I didn't let him finish.

"And you don't want my baby to get in the way?" I raise my eyebrows at him and he silently nods. I hold back a bit of tears and wrap my arms around myself. "Then leave, don't ever come back here." I turn around not looking at him "it's not like we need you." I put my hand on my stomach.

"I'm sorry." He says. When I didn't answer he just left. I quickly wipe my tear away and braid my hair to take my mind off of things.

"It's going to be okay, Katherine." Elijah says at the door.

"I know!" I smile brightly "are you ready to go eat?" I ask him.

"Yes." He replies. He gives me a concerned look and I chuckle.

"It's fine Elijah! I was expecting him to leave anyways, a child is a big burden." I sniffle.

"It's not suppose to be a burden, Kat! It's suppose to be something two people share in the world to make it a better place!"

"I appreciate it, but this child will be better off not knowing it's father. I don't want her to know who he is and what he does. This world is an awful place with or without people." And with that Elijah went quiet "let's go eat." I tell him.

Me and Elijah sit inside a restaurant at a booth.

"How have you been feeling?" He asks.

"Like shit." I chuckle and he gives me a weak smile.

"You look tired." He remarks.

"I am. I just want this to be over with." I set my hand on my stomach.

"Are you sure you want to leave after you take care of the baby?" Elijah asked me.

"I can't thank you enough and I want to stay near you, but Alexander doesn't want anything to do with this child." I sigh.

"I understand." Elijah smiles and takes a bite out of his food.

The doc had came to the cabin after we ate and talked with us.

"I know you're due tomorrow, so I want to stay with you to be prepared." Doc said on the couch with me and Elijah.

"Okay." I answer.

"Do you want a bath-birth or just on a bed?" Doc asked.

"Bathbirth, I definitely don't want that shit on my bed!" We all corrupted in laughter.

"Good choice." Doc gives me a smile.

/NIGHT TIME/

"You should get to sleep." Elijah said.

"Carry me?" I beg and he chuckles.

"Okay." Elijah smiles and picks me up. He walks up the stairs and sets me on my bed putting covers over my body. "Goodnight." He kisses my forehead leaving.

Later at night I woke up and felt pain along with water.

"She's coming!" I screamed getting out of my bed Doc, Elijah, and even Alexander.

"Come on Katherine." Doc said grabbing my shoulders and pushing me into the bathroom starting a bath. I sat on the closed toilet and tied my hair in a bun.

"Hurry the fuck up!" I yelled, Elijah held my hand and led me into the bathtub. I painfully got into the tub filled with warm water.

"Just breath, Kat." Elijah said holding my hand. Alexander just stood there staring at me and dabbing a cloth on my head.

"Get that shit away from me!" I yelled swatting the cloth away from me and Alexander jumped back.

Four hours later I was still pushing and I was tired. A couple more hours and finally I heard her cry

"She's healthy!" Doc said handing me the child. Her tiny body squirmed in my arms gently, she grabbed my finger with her tiny hand. Alexander was behind me and when he got a look at the baby he left the room.

"What are you going to name her?" Elijah and doc asked me.

"Grace." I replied "or Gracie? You pick Elijah, I like both of them too much."

"Gracie." His reply was soft.

"Gracie it is!" I smiled looking down at her.

"She's beautiful."
