The Redemption(A Laurent LT Tale)Prequel

The Road to Redemption (Part-1)

I woke up this morning having terrible contractions; the baby seemed to be pissed off about something because she was in there kicking my ass. Nova gave me some Tylenol to ease the pain and using her magic she checked on the baby and said her heart rate was beating a little fast.

I prayed Nova didn’t have to cut me up or anything like that, I just wanted a speedy delivery but most of all I wanted Lau to be a part of it. He came to me last night and told me he had to leave, I didn’t let it show but I was pretty upset.

After he left I just cried until I fell asleep a few hours ago. I woke up with a house full of people; well not really just Kyra and Diablo. Carter called me earlier to check up on me and told me that she and the girls will be by sometime tomorrow to see me. She wanted to be present during my birth for what reason…I don’t know and don’t think I want too.

The contractions woke me up and I was up for the day. Nova washed me up and Kyra dressed me for the day. I felt weak…as if all the energy in me suddenly juts been sucked out of me. My face was getting bleak, I was losing all color to my skin; I barely even wanted to move.

Kyra and Diablo went to a store earlier to fetch me a wheelchair and that made it even worse. I felt like I was crippled when in reality the chair came in handy. I couldn’t be carried all damn day. Now I know how old people feel being taken care of at the retirement homes.

Nova was rummaging through my closet as I stared at her, she was talking but I didn’t hear her. Laurent kept calling and talking Nova…I wasn’t speaking with him. He’s being so secretive I didn’t know whether to be worried or pissed off. Something was going on and I felt like everyone knew but me.

Kyra and Diablo were moving in and out the house changing the extra room into my delivery space. I had no kind of appetite and my mouth was so damn dry that actually hurt a bit to talk. Daylight had come and gone and I still sat in this chair…doing nothing but being a zombie.

Nova was finally done going through my bag and all of sudden I jolted forward wincing quietly. Nova rushed over to me and placed her hand on my stomach, “she’s hungry”

“But I’m not”

“You can’t starve her Andrea”

She was right; just because I didn’t want to eat doesn’t mean I should starve my child. I was already being a bad mom. “Would you like a protein shake?”

“I can have that?” I wasn’t sure of what I can and can’t have, I’ve only been pregnant with a supernatural baby once but that didn’t last long. Nova laughed, “Yes…if you’re not going to eat or drink than a shake would be much preferred”

Nova tells me to wait there…as if I was going anywhere. She left the room and the pain only seemed to be getting worse. This kid was kicking the crap out of me; I was this close to hitting her ass back she better stop!

A few minutes later Nova came back with a soda cup placing the straw inside, “this should make it easier to swallow down”

She handed it to me and I hesitated for a minute. The kicks started to get more ferocious and I started to take my first sip gently bringing the straw to my lips and sipping it a little. Milk, Ensure, bananas, strawberries, blueberries…my taste buds were on fire.

Nova stood by waiting for my approval but I was just sucking and sucking almost forgetting to stop. I hadn’t eaten anything in 24 hours so yeah I was pretty hungry…and thirsty.

Nova got the hint, “I’ll go and make you some more”

I gave her a nod still drinking almost done. She left the room and Kyra came in right behind her and she started laughing. I looked at her, “what’s so funny?”
