MERLIN POV

It was so peaceful, the night seemed empty and cold, like my heart. But all things that are frozen can be melted, by who. The one who has sunshine, Escanor. I knew that he had feelings for me, but did I know that I had feelings for him? 
I started to drift off into the land of dreams. BANG! Well, shit.

Meliodas comes crashing into my room, frantic, pale and scared. "Its time...Elizabeth is down stairs." His eyes fade from green and morph into  his demonic colouring. "Shit" I whispered under my breath so he couldn't hear. "Well what are we waiting for, we need to go and get Elizabeth." He nods, running out of the room. I quickly toss aside my blankets and hop out of bed, clicking my finger and saying 'aport' I summon my clothes, 'if you considered them clothing'.

I waste no time in getting down stairs. I just clicked my fingers and I was there in a flash.

I look around the room until I hear Meliodas saying my name. I turned around to answer him, But.
Jeez, she's worse than I thought, I felt bad, for her of course. Despite the strong empathy I felt at that moment, my facial expression stayed rock solid serious. She looked way too pale, tears forming at the corners of her eyes. I needed to get her upstairs, but I didn't know if it was safe enough to teleport her since she was pregnant, well in labour now. It was too much of a risk. "Meliodas, I need you to carry Elizabeth up to your bedroom, I'll go and get my stuff. And whatever you do, don't start pushing." He could tell I was being serious, I mean, when was I not.

I teleported back to my room for a brief second to grab my medical supplies. Once I had obtained all of the necessary equipment and tools I headed to Meliodas and Elizabeth's room. 'I'm sorry Meliodas, I wasn't able to find a cure for your 3000 years curse, I couldn't save you or big sis sis. You were always like an older brother to me.' Of course I didn't say that out loud, because Merlin didn't share her emotions with others. It was just odd when she did, so she doesn't.
I rush into their room with my kit, the full force of the current situation slapped me in the face when I saw Elizabeth laying on that bed, I mean, It should have hit me before, but It didn't. "I'm sorry captain, but you'll have to wait outside." He looked at me with anger. "I need to be with Elizabeth." His inner demon took control once again, becoming a father has changed him, even if technically he hasn't become one yet. "Merlin please, I need him." Her voice sounded so frail and weak. Meliodas' grip on her hand tightened as he spoke once again, only this time he tried to will the shadows to fade into his skin. He failed. " Merlin, I'm not going to leave."
" As you wish." I caved in. How could I.

ELIZABETH POV

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" I scream painfully as another contraction hit me. Merlin asks me a question but it sounds too far away for me to hear.
"Has your water broke yet?!" Merlin's voice suddenly becomes audible as the pain subsides. "Yes, it broke a little while a- AHHHHHHHHHH" I couldn't I just couldn't.
"MERLIN I NEED TO PUSH! I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!!!"
"Elizabeth, calm down. Your not dilated enough to push yet." I let my head fall back onto the pillow Sighing painful. Meliodas gives my hand a reassuring squeeze, his eyes were still dark, despite having a caring smile on his face.

Time skip 6 hours:

Okay, its been 6 hours and merlin said that I was finally dilated enough to push. I couldn't wait for this to end, I couldn't wait to meet them.

"Okay Elizabeth on your next contraction I want you to give your best push." Merlin said while sitting between my spread legs, my neither regions on display.
Another tidal wave of pain arrived and I got ready to push.
"I'm ready." I say to merlin." Okaaay...NOW!" I push as hard as I can, only to be met with unimaginable pain. "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH". That was defiantly going to wake everyone up, crap, too late. Someone starts opening the door. A young looking woman with brunette hair and large purple eyes rushes into the room. She looks behind her" ELIZABETH'S IN LABOUR!" She yells excitedly. "Merlin, do you need any help?" Diane slowly closes the door and walks in. Her demeanor flips from exited to serious in record time.
"If you want to help you can start by filling a bucket of warm water, make sure its not too hot." Merlin smiles at her, happy that she can finally take a break after 6 hours.

I look up at Meliodas , tears streaming down my face, my nose was red. I didn't know if I was nervous or sad.
. "Meliodas, I'm scared, what if something goes wrong?"
"It won't, and besides, I'm here. I will always be here for you." His voice gravely and hot, I love him so much, nothing will ever change that.
I start crying harder as another contractions hits me, Meliodas strokes my hair lovingly.

"Everything will be alright."

I'll have to stop this chapter here, don't worry I will be continuing it later. In Australia its like 12:57 pm.
So see you next time😘😘😘
