Baby Chinchilla

I Love You

April POV

I screamed for Dr. Tower and Donnie and the rest of the guys. They came rushing in.

            “What is it?!!?!?!” They screamed freaking out.

            “The baby’s coming. But I’m bleeding and I’m pretty sure that isn’t supposed to happen!” I slightly panicked as Dr. Tower became deadly serious and started barking orders.

            “Donnie go get the pool ready and make sure the water is warm. Raphael grab me towels and rags and Mikey get me pillows. Leo I need you to help me transport April to the pool.” They all nodded and raced off to do their jobs with ninja like focus. Dr. Tower and Leo came over and lifted me off the couch. I was bleeding so bad it was dripping off me and on to the couch.

            “Oh God…” said Leo in horror. I heard Dr. Tower curse slightly under her breath and started moving me faster to the pool were the birth would take place. But not too fast to where they would hurt me even more.  Now it was really starting to hurt terribly and I was starting to sweat. We arrived at the kiddy pool and they set me down in it, the warm water slightly calming my nerves. The blood dripping from me immediately making the water a nasty deadly maroon color. Donnie’s eyes got wide as he saw the blood. Then I entered a whole new state of pain as the contractions started. The closer they got together, the blood flow increased making me feel woozy. Dr. Tower tried to stop the flow with the rags and towels Raph had brought her,but nothing worked.  It stopped a little of the blood flow, just enough to keep me awake. After about 5 hours of contractions the pushing finally started.

            “ OOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHH!!!!” I screamed and shot forwards into a bent over position. Dr. Tower looked me in the face and told me to start pushing. I was bleeding profusely by now, while trying to push the first baby out. There was a towel on the ground to place the babies while the others were born. I pushed three times with Dr. Tower urging me on. On the third push the first baby was out. I wanted to see my baby so bad but I had to focus on getting the others out of me. The next one came out in four pushes, and the one after that took two.  The last one however took six pushes and almost made me pass out. But I did get it out but afterwards it wasn’t  the sweet relief I was hoping for. I was still bleeding badly and I was starting to hemorrhage. If I didn’t stop bleeding soon, I was going to lose too much. Dr. Tower was attempting to stop the bleeding but after she looked at me and I understood. She stopped trying to stunt the flow of blood and called the guys in. I looked at Dr. Tower and said,

            “I want to see my children.” She gave two to me and two to Donnie. Three boys and one girl. Poor thing. She was going to be so lonely when I am gone. I looked over at Donnie and tried to convey the message through my eyes. His brothers crowded around me yet they all seemed to understand.

            “I just wanted you guys to know that I love you all and really don’t want to leave you or my children so soon.” I said my voice shaky and raspy for I was losing my grip on consciousness.

            “We love you too April and we really wish you wouldn’t go.” Mikey said his voice shaky as a tear rolled down his face. I looked over at Donnie and said,

            “Take care of our children and make sure they know that I loved them with all my heart.” Donnie nodded and leaned in kissed me tenderly while a tear rolled down his cheek.

            “I love you.” He said his voice thick with emotion.

            “And I love you too.” And with that phrase, I took my final breath and let myself fall into the sweet and dark embrace of death.
