Transition.

[mamaxsky.livejournal.com]

[Sora has been quite restless, quiet and fairly unsociable -- something just felt off about today. However, all of those little contractions he's been feeling for two weeks are beginning to culminate in much rougher ones, striking every several minutes. It's only when he stops to chat with stillunburned that he realizes he can't talk through them anymore, and has to take his leave to his bedroom, calmly gathering the towels he had set aside and doing a quick mental check of the supplies stashed in the corner for just this occasion. He knows birth is still hours away, but he knows better than to push it. It seems his nine month journey is coming to an end, a new one about to begin.]

[ooc: baby's official birth date is October 16th, but I won't be around much next Friday, so we're getting this party started early! feel free to come and see Sora and SOMEONE PLEASE COME TAKE RIKKA for a little while ♥ also, doctors are welcome.]

It's still sexual though. Sometimes it's more romantic to just kiss than it is to be pounded through a mattress...

*concentrates when another contraction comes, squeezing your hand gently*

*D:*

Maybe we should talk about this when you're not having a baby. Where is that doctor?!

[mamaxsky.livejournal.com]

*smiles a little*

I know, I know. But I like the distraction.

_{{ Peeks into the room! Ready with a bucket of clean, cold water, some nicely scented candles and... well, you get the point. }}

Sora, Riku? How're you two holding up?

[mamaxsky.livejournal.com]

*smiles warmly at Aeris*

Alright, so far. Aeris, this is Ri. I don't think you two have met.

[windup-daddy.livejournal.com]

*smiles kindly at Aeris, though he still has that panicked father expression on his face*

Aeris! Hi! Sora hurts make it better.

[feebly.livejournal.com]

_{{ Bows to Ri due to lack of a free hand. }}

Nice to meet you, Ri. _{{ She drops off some things and gets out some things in that basket of hers, setting up a bowl near the couple and pouring some cold water into it. }} I don't know if I can help Sora's hurting as much as you can, though-- are you good at giving massages?

[mamaxsky.livejournal.com]

*just lies still, vaguely listening, because the contractions are getting closer together and much stronger*

[windup-daddy.livejournal.com]

Massages? I... I guess. Uhm. Don't you need me to get hot water or towels or something?

*continues holding Sora's hand, petting it gently*

[feebly.livejournal.com]

_{{ She takes the bowl of cold water and places her hand on top of the water, casting a light Fire spell to boil it. }}

The hot water should be covered with this spring water, but Sora might be hurting a lot in some areas. _{{ Faces Sora, water nearly warm enough }} Sora, if you need anything, you just tell us, alright? If there's anywhere that really hurts, Ri or I can give you a massage.

*nods, and somehow feels very safe now that you're here, Aeris*

T-thanks. It's not too bad just yet.

*smiles*

I hope you weren't too busy.

[windup-daddy.livejournal.com]

*is just kind of sitting here like a lump, because he's totally out of his depth*

[feebly.livejournal.com]

I'd never be too busy to help you out with this, Sora. _{{ Smiles back }}

Since it's a safe time to ask... Are you hungry? Do you need to go to the bathroom?

[mamaxsky.livejournal.com]

*shakes his head*

N-no, I don't want to eat. I don't want to... make a mess.

*turns blood red*

And I already went once, but the baby's engaged on my bladder I think, so I might as well.

*r-rolling to get up and waddle to the washroom >_<*

[windup-daddy.livejournal.com]

*helps Sora get out of bed then, and looks like he's ready to make a running dive under Sora with a pillow in case there's any baby-falling-out-ness*

[feebly.livejournal.com]

_{{ Watches as Sora and Ri go to the bathroom, carefully dampening one or two towels with the hot water just in case. }}

[mamaxsky.livejournal.com]

*isn't really paying attention to the pillow, shutting the door and doing his thing when he comes out, he asks Aeris -- *

How do I know when to start pushing? How will I know when I'm dilated enough?

[windup-daddy.livejournal.com]

*this is the sound of a conversation going completely over his head -- whoooooosh*

[feebly.livejournal.com]

_{{ Hands Ri the hot towels! }} Here, just in case Sora's neck or head hurts.

_{{ Nods, sitting herself down after she finishes preparing }} You'll know when you're ready, Sora. You might feel a bit of a violent push and a sharp pain, but we'll try to keep that to a minimum. You'd best get your motivator face on, Ri.

[mamaxsky.livejournal.com]

[ooc - fast-forwarding aslasdfjl non-eventful part of labor a bit]

*know when he is ready indeed, because after a good three hours of waiting and intensifying sensations, active labor begins, the change in pressure, pain and breathing almost immediate. there is sweat beading on his forehead, and he's leaning back against the pillows, legs spread open and clutching whoever's hand that is*

D-does this ever end... !

[windup-daddy.livejournal.com]

*is trying to breathe and not panic, and yes that is his hand being crushed slowly*

It... it's okay, Sora! I'm right here!

[feebly.livejournal.com]

Just remember to take even breaths, we're here for you! It'll be over as soon as you know it! _{{ Because motivation is all that matters after preparation, though she glances over at Ri to see if he's ready too. }}

[mamaxsky.livejournal.com]

*he is trying not to crush! but he's starting to get the urge to push, and it just... comes naturally when he bears down and pushes, taking a deep breath afterward, surprised at the lack of control he has over anything - his water has finally broken and there's a gush of fluid onto the towels, but he barely notices anything at all*

I'm... I'm breathing... and p-pushing. Is that... right?

*and more pushing goes here*

[windup-daddy.livejournal.com]

*when Sora's water breaks, Ri makes a funny sort of gurgling noise, then -- THUD -- faints passes out in a manly way on the floor*

<sub>{ ooc: ....ROFL. Also sorry HTML fail >_> }

{ Well she lost an assistant and okay not quite used to that yet, but no time to worry about that-- she nods }</sub>

You're going through the transition stage right now, Sora, so just try your best to push, alright? We have cold towels if you feel overheated.
