Odd Miracles

sixers.

melanie's pov

we were walking and i winced and nearly fell to the ground, i clutched my stomach in agony. "oh god!" i moaned. "it hurts!"

"we're nearly there." skye said. i looked up we were about five metres away from the infirmary.

i saw my mom run out of the infirmary, her face fully masked with fear and concern.

"oh my, how did this happen?!" she asked skye. skye was about to open her mouth when i interrupted.

"we were just walking and then my stomach started hurting and now this..." i said. mom looked at the others suspiciously before returning her gaze back to me.

"come on then, follow me sweet pea. oh and josh, you and your friends just back to the house."

"but mom!" josh said quickly.

"josh, we explained this all together, melanie only wants me there. is that want you want melanie?" she asked.

i nodded then mom held her arms underneath mine and we walked towards the infirmary, i looked back at josh and mouthed 'i'm sorry.' he looked disappointed but then after he gave me a smile and a thumbs up for encouragement.

i kind of smiled at him but was interrupted by a sudden pain. "mom, it hurts, really bad!" i cried. she put her hand on my back and we walked inside the infirmary.

lieutenant washington was sitting in the infirmary tending to a wound of hers. she waved and i smiled back. i quickly put my hands back to my stomach and groaned in pain.

"nurse, i need a private room please!" my mother called.

"get down!" someone yelled. everyone froze. i turned around and saw something i didn't want to see. a sixer.

"i said get down or i shoot!" mira yelled. i kind to just stood there.

"please, she's in labour." my mother said, clutching onto me tightly.

i saw wash stand up in the corner of the room and pull out a gun. "sit down." mira said aiming a gun at wash's face. i shuddered.

"take that one." mira said pointing directly to me.

more sixers came around the corner and were coming right towards me. "mom!" I yelled.

"mira! she's in labour! do you know how to deliver a baby?" mom yelled.

"take them both." mira said.

my mom eyes widened and i felt a hand wrap around me.

i groaned as the pain got worse. next thing i knew i was being hauled out of the infirmary still in tight grip of the sixer.

i tilted my head backwards and saw my mother behind.

i looked towards the town, no one was there, it was deserted. i saw everyone outside their homes, one sixer guarding them. the sixers had a gun pointed towards the family's head.

i saw my house, my dad, maddy, zoe and josh standing outside. maddy was holding zoe and dad and josh were standing next to them, petrified.

dad noticed me and he flipped. i could tell he was going to rage and then he saw mom then he flipped. he wanted to move but a sixer was holding a gun to his head. he was breathing heavily and i wanted to cry. i never ever had liked sixers. i don't think anyone has actually.

"if anyone moves, we will shoot you." mira yelled. skye and tasha were watching me and my mom being taken away by the sixers. a tear dripped down my face and they hauled me and my mom in the back of a sixer rover. mom instantly moved over to me. "how far apart are your contractions?" she asked.

"i don't know." i wheezed. the rover door was slammed shut and mira jumped in the front. i gave a glare as she stared at me in disgust. "what do you want mira? why me?" i spoke. she stared at me, a blank expression plastered on her face.

"i want your baby." she spoke. i turned to face my mom and i broke down into tears.

"mom, please! she can't have my baby..." i cried, tears now streaming down my face.

"she won't get it, i'll make sure of it." she smiled. she kissed my forehead and i was interrupted by a contraction ripping through my body. i gasped and grabbed my mother's hand and squeezed it. i leant forward and she rubbed my back. i cried and grimaced. i was not ready to have this baby. not being held captive by the sixers anyway. my life was turning upside down and i panicked. the contraction stopped and i relaxed a little. they weren't that intense but i knew they would get so much worse.

"mom what if she does get the baby?" i asked worriedly looking up at her.

"mel, i promise you. she will not get her hands on your child. my precious grandchild will be with you."

i smiled a little and sat down. trying to relax. from what i've heard, some people can be in labour for two whole days before they have the baby. i don't know when my contractions started but i'm pretty they started this morning.

...

"oh god, another one's coming." i moan. i tense up and my mother rubs my back while coaching me through breathing. i grit my teeth together. they are four minutes apart and becoming so painful. we have been driving for about thirty minutes and then the rover stops. mira steps out of the front and swings open the doors.

"mira please." my mom begs. i'm sweating like crazy this is just getting unbearable now.

"get out." she says. i can't move, pain has taken over my body. carter walks around and grabs my arm and chucks me out. i hit the ground with a thud.

"oh god..." i moan. mom quickly climbs out after me and tends to me on the ground. "mom," i whispered. "i'm bleeding..."

a/n: so, i'm back. i got this story off an old account because i forgot the password to this one. i've obviously remembered the password so i will be updating on this account instead of the other one. i'm making it that all the stuff that happened at the end of terra nova didn't happen. the colony didn't get taken over and stuff... so that means alicia washington didn't die. thank god! so if you were reading my old book on my other
account... i was using an account called @amelia_fangirl23 and the title was 'miracles.'

qotd: who's your favourite character from terra nova? mines either elisabeth shannon or alicia washington.
