And perfect timing it was too, as the next contraction hit, and with full force.
Julia got a grip on the sidebars of the bed and started to push, Derek giving Rachel the bear to take with her before moving to help hold Julia as she gave her first full blown push. He still wished she would have taken a epidermal or something to help with the pain - and it was obvious she was in pain - but he slipped his hands into hers from beside and around ber back to let her grip as she continued to push and rode out the contraction. "Good... good..." The doctor said from his position "Come on Missus Rayne, you can do it." Derek gritted his teeth as Julia's usually strong grip turned even harder. At least he wasn't experiencing the literal pain of the labor with his Gift. "I see the head." Julia huffed and puffed as the contraction started to eb, but she felt the next wave already coming and looked at Derek. "I love you." he told her, gaze showing excitement about Amelia's birth but worry concerning the pain Julia was experiencing. And she was experiencing it too. Thing was - she realized that there was a time that she wasn't able to feel it and that she was here, with Derek, having their first child, because of a miracle. So, with a shakey voice and sweaty smile, she started to relax and murmured back "Love you too.." Right before another contraction hit and they both beared down. One hour later, to the minute, Amelia Rayne was born, moments later mother, father and daughter in Julia's hospital room and the rest of the being allowed to come in. ===== __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
