Vita et Mors - Danisnotonfire and AmazingPhil Fanfiction

Chapter 64

A/N: I've hardly done any homework... My excuse is that I didn't write any of it down, so I don't know what to do. Oops? 😝

And someone needs to make a guidebook to autocorrect - I went to type Ethan and it switched it to dhyana. What? Last I checked, the name is very different to Hindu meditation.

(Gemma's POV)

I turned my head in terror as Sophie cried out, curling into a ball on her seat. Shi- shoot. I had too much of an idea of what was happening. "Really?" I complained, jumping up and leaning out of the helicopter.

"Hey, everyone!" I screamed. "Sorry to disturb the moment, it's really nice, but Sophie's giving birth! Help, please?!" Fascinated, I watched everyone freeze. Then, they started running for the building. Ethan and Eliza quickly swam to the edge of the lake and clambered out, shaking some water out of their clothes as we landed.

"Here." Jason quickly jumped in the helicopter, followed by David and they grabbed Sophie and hauled her inside. I followed, meeting up with Dan, Eliza and Ethan. Phil, Poppy and Luke went inside.

"Well, um, sorry about that, but congratulations?" I offered them and Eliza offered me a hug. I gave her a filthy look and she burst out laughing, before Ethan tackled me, soaking me to the skin.

"Come on, we better find out what's going on." Eliza led us up to the house and we went inside, walking swiftly up to the infirmary and knocking on the door. "You two wait here." She looked pointedly at Dan and Ethan, who nodded and stepped back.

"Come in!" Meghan's faint voice could be heard and Eliza and I slipped inside, shutting the door carefully.

"How is she?" I asked Meghan, who was hastily folding towels and untangling string on a nearby bed. An extra long sheet had been put around a bed at the end of the infirmary and I could hear Sophie grumbling about how much she hated everyone and life.

"Alright. I'm guessing it'll be over in the next three hours." Meghan let us take over folding and unravelling and went back to Sophie. As much as I loved my sister, I would prefer to stay this side of the curtain, thank you very much.

"We're done! Call us when they're born!" I yelled at the direction of the bed as we went to leave the infirmary.

"Will do!" I heard Meghan's reply and we left, catching up with Ethan and Dan who were about two meters down the corridor, leaning against the wall and talking.

"Well?" Ethan asked us.

"Meghan said it should only take about three hours." Eliza reported as we strolled down the corridor, probably to the library. "And she'll call us."

"Fair enough." Ethan yawned. We made it to the library and flopped down on some chairs. "To think that, if we have even only one child each, there will be seven children running around, causing mischief. And we'll be the old, uncool lot, even though we're all under thirty."

"Better take our time having children, then." Eliza giggled, looking at me. I smiled awkwardly and the smile slipped off her face. "You're not..."

"Surprise?" I offered as Dan and Ethan stared at me. I heard a thunk and turned to see Dan's face on the table.

"Oh, God." He muttered. Ethan took a breath and we all turned to look at him.

"Well, Eliza, that's not happening. You see..." Ethan paused and Eliza narrowed her eyes.

"Okay, there's a pair of twins being born, Gemma's pregnant, what else?"

"Mia is as well, David told me." Ethan half-smiled.
