CHAPTER 4 – FATE’S CRUEL PLOT

Caroline

I woke up screaming from the big waves of pain in my tummy, I can feel wetness between my thighs as I cry in pain, it was too difficult to move.

Oh god, it felt like something I have never felt before, the pain was indescribable and the only thing I can do is scream.

“LUCAS!” I cried as he barged in inside the bedroom so quickly that I didn’t even realise that he was beside me.

“Baby…? What’s wrong?” he worriedly asked and all I can do is screaming from the pain as he held my hand.

I bet my loud cries of pain woke up the whole neighbourhood because that’s how painful it was.

With Lucas calling for the pack doctor Alexis came in with a worried look on her face and within seconds later an older lady came inside the room while quickly ordering Lucas and Alexis on what to do.

This is plain torture!

“Luna I want you to relax and take deep breath,” the doctor instructed but it sounded so freaking complex that I started doing the opposite, but soon I calmed down with Lucas coming next to me as he placed his hand onto mine.

I grasped tightly onto his hand and wish that every pain would just go away but it didn’t.

“Luna, push, I want you to push,” the doctor instructed and this time I gathered myself and did what she told me as I push and pushed but it seemed like it was doing nothing.

I don’t know how long I’ve been pushing but I’m starting to grow tired and the pain seems to increase more and more.

I can feel my tears streaming down my face as I keep pushing but I knew that it was far from nothing that it was going to finish any time soon.

“It’s nearly over, just one more push!” I heard the doctor exclaimed but I knew it was too far for being close.

The pain was nothing like I can describe, “You’re doing well baby, just keep pushing,” I heard Lucas say as he stroke my head.

“I am pushing!” I screamed as I grip tighter on his hand, damn it… they said it wouldn’t hurt but it felt like when Lucas took my virginity, but the only difference was he was sticking a circle through a triangle shaped hole and this time they were pulling a circle out of a triangle shaped hole and it’s not working and its hurting so damn much!

“Keep pushing, I can see its head!” the doctor cried and I just kept doing what they were telling me.

I knew it was going to hurt but I never it would hurt this much.

I kept pushing and pushing as I feel tears pouring out of my eyes, and it felt like I was ripping into two and it’s not a pretty sight!

“Her heart beat is falling!” I heard someone frantically cried, everything seemed like it slowed down…

I gripped tightly on to Lucas’s hand as I give one last push and heard the most beautiful sound of baby’s cries.

I wanted to smile but I was feeling too dizzy… everything around looks blurry.

Thump…

Thump…

Thump…

Whose heart beat is that?

It sounded like it was slowly… failing.

“Caroline…? Baby…?” I heard a very familiar voice calling out to me but it sounded so close but distant.

I blinked and tried to open my eyes and smiled at my baby on its father’s arm.

“It’s a girl!” I heard Lucas happily exclaimed and I smiled at my baby girl.

I weakly raised my arm to touch her and the moment my hand came contact at her soft cheek, all of my hardships faded away.

I stroked her cheek and her cries stopped.

There… sleep tight my baby girl…

I watch as she snuggled her head onto my hand, I weakly smiled as I feel my energy draining out.

“Baby…?” I heard Lucas say but I chose to ignore it.

Let me rest for a while.

I’m getting tired.

“Baby…?”

“I… I’m just gonna close my eyes…” I managed to say as I feel my eyes getting heavier.

“No… stay with me, don’t close your eyes!” he panicky cried.

I force out another smile as my eyes began closing, my hand slipping off from my baby’s cheek… and during that moment when I lost contact with my baby I heard her desperate cry for my comfort and touch.

Sorry… mama’s too tired…

Lucas

 

The sound of the fruit of Caroline and I produced ring magically inside my head and I couldn’t be happier.

Thump…

 

Thump…

The sound of my mate’s heart beat slowly slowing down had me panicking.

“What’s happening?” I asked but all I can do was watch as the pack doctor tries to keep her stabilised, everything seemed like a blur, during my 25 years of age never have I felt so… useless.

The sound of my baby crying from the hands of the nurse had me panicking, I went to cradle her into my arms, and although this steadied her heart beat her cries didn’t.

“Caroline…? Baby…?” I cried as relief filled me as I saw her open her eyes and smiled brightly at the cute little baby girl in my arms.

“It’s a girl!” I exclaimed with overwhelming happiness.

I watch as she smiles brightly as she raises her hand to stroke our baby’s cheek with that movement I watched amazed at how her touch calmed our baby’s cries.

Although it made me jealous I was also happy at how I see my future wife would be!

I adoringly watched my baby girl snuggle into her mother’s hand; although I was overwhelming with happiness I was also scared.

The sound of my mate’s heart beat slowly beating frightened me.

“Baby…?” I called out to her but it seemed like she didn’t hear me so I called out to her again, “Baby..?”

“I… I’m just gonna close my eyes,” she managed to say and that made me panic.

No…

“No… stay with me, don’t close your eyes,” I begged but her eyes started closing, and just like that her hand fell and the moment she lost contact with our baby the baby started crying.

My baby’s cries sounded like a premonition… a bad premonition.

“Baby…?” I cried as I no longer heard her heart beat.

Just like that… the sound of her heart beat stopped and in that moment my time stopped.
