Her Haven

Zomp

I wanted to die, I felt like I was, everything me was tearing and my father kept telling me not to push, to breath deeply and remain calm all things that had gotten more and more difficult as the time went on. Looking out the window, the star sparkled in the sky and it looked so peaceful. I didn't even know how I could register it, they way I felt, what I was thinking wasn't adding up.

"I'm hot" I complained, my voice was crack and dry, from my earlier contractions. Sierra patted my head with a towel and laid back down with a sigh, "I think it's best that we keep them close" Sam said side glancing Victor who had come upstairs to be stitched up by my father. I didn't ask, I didn't want to know, my stomach turned at the thought and I gripped Hunter and Sam's hand, clenching my teeth tightly straining myself not to not push. My dad, looked under the blanket and nodded, "I think we are making headway" he grinned and laughed, "Not funny".

Once it passed I laid back on the pillows closing my eyes, relaxing, taking deep breaths I laid there with my eyes closed. "I think she should walk" Mom said. "She's doing fine, honey" Dad said, giving me a thumbs up over the blanket, "I bet she is, Look at my hand, I'm the one in need of assistance, bish, I demand Godfather status, eff Uncle" Sam said rubbing his hand, glaring at me. I managed a weak smile, as Hunter rubbed his hand down my belly, Ollie would go down ever so often when he did that part, but for the most part he swam right back up. I was sore everywhere from the tensing off all my muscle, it's true there isn't a part of my body that isn't participating in giving birth.

"Lisa" my dad called but his voice was choppy, closing my eyes i reached out for a hand, but I was falling. I was falling...Alessandro

I was drenched in sweat, it was sticking my cloths to me, I had sweated so much it was puddles. Looking around the room everyone was staring at me, "Lisa" my dad said calmly. I looked at him his face was lit up brightly he was glowing, and smiling. Looking around I noticed that it was morning the sun was up. I was no longer laying on the floor, but the bed, I was tucked in tight. I was sore, but for the most nothing hurt, Looking down I swallowed hard, balling the covers I looked at everyone around me, "....Where is he?"

Moving a little My dad smiled moving to the side, as tears rushed to my eyes. Vincent was bouncing holding a tiny orange thing of clothing, his entire face was giving away his emotion by the smile on his mouth and the glittering of his dark eyes I knew that it was okay. Looking at me he smirked walked over he sat beside me kissing me softly on the forehead, "This is your mama" he whispered softly, sniffling I looked away from Vincent's handsome face, and looked at our sons. I smiled, than laughed, "He looks just like you" I croaked. "He has your eyes" he whispered. Looking up at him, reaching up I wrapped my arm around his neck pulling him down to kiss me. I pressed our foreheads together and sighed, "I love you, so much". "Here" he said holding out the sleeping baby to me. Smiling,I rolled my eyes, taking my soft warm little baby boy into my hands, and laughed. He was so perfect and the feeling this feeling, was one I had never had, one of absolute devotion and love. My Child, who I had carry inside of me, and kept safe for nine months was here. He was here. Crying, I pulled him closer to me holding him carefully with two hands afraid to drop him.

Looking all around me, I smiled, "Thank you all so much, especially you Daddy" I said, my father came over kissing my forehead, "He's a charmer". I just smiled down at his cute red face, reaching down I rubbed his hand, and he gurgled, smiling opening his mouth missing all his teeth, he took hold of my finger gripping it tightly. I sighed pulling him closer to me, I looked over at Vince and decided that everything was okay this was all okay.

Five Years later...

"Zietta" Said Emerson. Smiling, I spun around handing out a sucker, "Here you go Emerson, thank you for staying and playing with my baby" Ari baby girl was so cute and adored Alessandro like a brother, even though me and Ari had started planning their wedding when Emerson was Two. They looked so cute together. Ari was having a baby, she was so excited and very much so relaxed this time they said that the second time was always easier. I wouldn't know though, me and Vincent were trying unsuccessfully. We had made a doctors appointment for next week, but with the Holiday season so hectic, with the Ollie's birthday only twenty days before christmas, I had to have it canceled. I really wanted a little girl now.
