The She-Devil And Her Alphas-Chapter 301 - Three Hundred And One: PUSH!
Chapter 301 - Three Hundred And One: PUSH!
"Tell me you have experience with childbearing, Sabrina" Daniel was having a mild panic attack.
"I'm a witch, not a midwife," She complained.
"Then why are you here?" Asher was the one asking.
Sabrina was stunned, why was everyone staring at her like she was some sort of miracle worker, "Dan told me Lia was pregnant, I'm only here to confirm she's not carrying an alien or some evil reincarnated witch,"
Asher facepalmed, just when you needed them the most. He gestured to her, "Can't you do some sort of abracadabra and get the kids out of the hole?"
Sabrina was offended, " It's not a hole but a [email?protected] and I can't just drag the kids out there," She emphasized on 'drag' "What Lia needs is a midwife or someone experienced with deliveries,"
"Then let's take her to my pack, I have experienced doctors who won't question us," Daniel suggested.
"This hurts!" Lia screamed, experiencing her first intense contraction. It seems the pain brought on the manifestation of her powers causing her to blow a hole through the roof.
"And I'm guessing this just closed the matter of taking her to your pack," Sabrina tactically mocked him after everyone rose from their crouching position. They had all taken cover when debris fell from above.
"You can't take Lia to your pack hospital nor can she stay here either, she'd tear the whole place," Asher told him, "She needs a clear area,"
Daniel ruffled his hair, he was confused as ever. He loved Lia but the stress of this bizarre situation was overwhelming him.
"Lia's in her second part of active labor which means we need to find a trustworthy deliverer or take her away from here before her contractions become stronger, longer, and more frequent," Sabrina informed everyone.
"Well, I could -"
"My mother," Asher's eyes lit up upon remembering, "Dan, get my mother as quickly as possible before she leaves, "He ordered Dan who didn't waste a second to vanish.
"Gosh, it hurts like hell," Lia was panting as if she ran a marathon.
"Don't worry, it's going to be okay," Daniel held her hand tight.
"Daniel, step back…!" Sabrina was still warning him when Lia screamed unintentionally.
The force tossed Daniel away like he was some rag doll while Sabrina was quick to conjure a spell that limited the wave hence reducing damage.
"Who needs my help?" Helen said immediately she appeared in the room with Dan.
"Mom," Asher hugged her briefly, pulling away to guide Helen to the bed where Lia lay, writhing in pain.
Helen's mouth fell open from shock, she turned to Asher, her eyes full of questions. The girl had not been this way the last time she saw her yesterday.
"I'll explain later, mother. But right now, we need you to save three lives," Asher directed, "Tell us what you need for this to work while Dan thinks of an open space, far from human habitation,"
"Get me clean towels, blankets, washcloths, and buckets of water - wherever we'll go," She listed hurriedly.
Asher said, "That's easy, Ben would get those,"
With anticipation, Ben left to make the necessary items available.
"Where are you taking my daughter?" Interrogated Jenny who has woken up from her sleep.
"A place where she won't be a danger to anyone," said Daniel, helping himself to his feet, "We don't need a human getting injured, creating more problems for us,"
"I'm not just any human, I'm her mother and would witness the birth of my grandchildren," she heaved.
"She does have a point," Helen supported.
"Fine, but don't blame us if anything happens," Asher warned her and turned to Trevour, "Be sure to tell that to your council friends," He hinted that the boy should be there to defend them when the situation calls for that.
"Dan, now!" Asher cued him without asking about their destination and they appeared in a hay farm in the middle of nowhere.
"Seriously?" Daniel raised a brow, looking around the environment.
"Well, on the bright side, there's no human - at the moment - just cattle - for the hungry vampires and werewolves- and the bed even crossed over" Dan tried to be optimistic.
"Everyone duck! " Sabrina issued a warning just as Lia sent another wave of her destructive scream and though, Sabrina protected everyone, it did travel far.
"I don't know how far that shock wave went but I don't want us traced down here," Dan pointed out.
"Get Gideon, his shadows should be able to contain the hypersonic sounds to this area while Sabrina works on not getting our head blasted off our body," Asher issued him another mission.
"Ugh, I hate powers," Sabrina whined, already becoming to work on the spell to protect everyone.
"I can't do this alone, I need an assistant," Helen notified after getting the girl's pants off.
Asher and Daniel's eyes connected at once, who would be fast enough to get there first?
Helen noticed the competition between both men and added, "Preferably a female,"
"Show me what to do," Jenny volunteered.
"Her cervix has dilated to seven centimeters and her contraction has become increasingly regular, you just have to help her breathe and rest as much as possible between them. Trust me, she needs that strength because there would be lots of pushing later; triplets are no joke," Helen added," And don't even try to argue or disagree with her, or even try to overcome her at this point else she screams obscenities at you - you're a mother you should know about that, "
"Alright," Jenny nodded and took her place beside her daughter on her bed.
"M-mom," Lia called out, she was pale and her eyes red.
"Yes, baby girl," Jenny wiped away the sweat on her face.
"I'm so sorry, I should have listened to you," Lia breathed.
"Yeah, I know,"
"It hurts, you know,"
"Don't worry, it would be over soon,"
Helen came over to Asher and Daniel, "No matter how bad and hectic it gets later, I don't need any of you running over and disrupting me unless I called, understood?" She warned.
"Understood,"
"Duly noted," 𝙛𝙧𝙚𝒆𝘸𝚎𝙗𝒏oν𝙚𝘭.𝐜𝒐m
Both responded.
"Now, where are the goddamn towels I requested," Helen demanded just as Dan appeared with Gideon and Ben by his side.
"I think the baby's coming!" Jenny shouted just as Lia screamed again but Sabrina got them all covered.
"Gideon!" Dan reminded him what he was here for.
At once the vampire stood, black swirling smokes coming out of his body to encompass the arena protectively.
"Cool," Ben was astounded. He wished he could get all this on camera.
"Her cervix has expanded fully, she's ready to start pushing," Helen observed. Lia sat with her legs spread wide open, giving the women a clear view of what was going on down there.
"Alright Lia, take a deep breath and PUSH!"
What followed after was the girl's groan.
"Alright, you're doing well Lia, I can see its head," Helen guided her.
"No," Lia shook her head, sweating heavily, "I need Daniel… Where is Daniel?"
"Daniel!" Helen bellowed, guess Lia wasn't the only one under stress "Get your ass over here this instant!"
There was no wasting of time, Daniel got to her immediately, "Hey, it's me, baby,"
Lia turned to him, breathing shakily, "This is your fault, you did this to me!" She grabbed onto his hair, Daniel yelped in pain.
"This is epic," Asher felt for Daniel.
"No don't," Helen stopped Jenny when she tried to separate the couples.
"You animal!" Lia lashed out at him,
" Why am I in pain and you're not?!"
"Because I'm not a woman… Oww!"
"Lia, listen to me, he's an animal" Helen supported.
"Seriously?" Daniel was dumbfounded, "You're not helping here… ouch!"
Even Jenny was concerned for Daniel's root cause Lia held it in a death grip.
"He did this to you and you're suffering the consequences all alone," Helen fueled her rage, " Now use that anger, that pain, that frustration, and PUSH!"
"Ahhh!!!" Lia pushed with all might, screaming out her lungs in the process.
Jenny couldn't even differentiate between Daniel's scream and her daughter's.
"Alright, you're doing good," Helen incited just as the baby's head came out of the vagina, supporting it "More!"
Lia screamed so hard that even Ben felt for her but that produced fruit because the rest of the baby's body came out with quite a speed that even Helen almost missed catching it.
"It's a girl!" Helen announced just as the baby released its first cry.
A smile curved Daniel's lips as an unfamiliar emotion burst forth in his heart that he even forgot why he was screaming moments ago. He was officially a father?
Helen handed the baby to Jenny who wiped the baby's face with a cloth while she cut the baby's cord and tied the other end coming out of Lia. She then took the child, wrapped her in a towel on top of Lia for skin to skin contact.
Lia couldn't believe that it was this little girl that has been causing her trouble all this while. She would have bonded with the child if another contraction didn't hit her.
"Give the child to her father, the other twin has no patience at all," Helen instructed Jenny who obeyed.
Daniel carried the child cautiously as if she was so fragile she would break in his arms. She had golden curls just like him and just when she peered at him with half-lidded eyes, could see the blue in them - she was indeed his.
Meanwhile, they went through the same procedure, this time, Lia grasped the bed sheet tight instead of Daniel's hair.
"It's a girl!" Was the second announcement. They were identical, everyone could tell with just a glance.
Dan was handed the second child to take care of after she had bonded with her mother.
Everyone was in anticipation for the last one because it marked the end of Lia's painful ordeal and the debut of a different gender - Dan said it.
"Lia, push,"
"I can't anymore," The girl was exhausted.
"You would else the baby dies,"
"I can't," Tears spring forth from her eyes.
At once, Asher made his way over to him.
"Lia, look at me," He clasped her face, "You're a strong woman who can do anything she puts her mind into; that child deserves the right to live. Now, Lia, push!" He pep talked.
Asher's words motivated Lia that she used the last of her strength and pushed, letting everything out. Sadly, she wailed so loud that even though Sabrina managed to secure their lives, the shock wave from the energy released into the atmosphere threw everyone off their feet.
Daniel and Dan even while falling, didn't forget to shield the kids with their bodies. f𝓇𝘦e𝑤𝘦𝚋𝒏૦ѵℯ𝒍.c𝐨𝒎
Because the first defense - Sabrina - has been breached, Gideon couldn't curtail the energy which tossed him aside, spreading across the environment, destroying structures.
Everyone was stunned by what happened.
"Dan, how far away are we from human habitation?" Ben was the one who asked after seeing the magnitude of that outburst.
"Hopefully, one thousand kilometers?" Dan was unsure.
However, all of their attention was grasped when a child's shriek cut across the environment.
Lia's eyes were closed in exhaustion while the child lay at her foot with their umbilical cord still connected.
Helen walked over and picked the child up, a gasp coming from her mouth and eyes flickering over to Asher pointedly.
Asher was unsettled by that expression, deciding to come over by himself and know what might have warranted such a judging stare but received the greatest shock of his life.
Brown curls, green eyes, why did the boy look like him?
