how is babby formed

[smolderingf1re]

[this pregnant female Axel is reclining on a couch in the common area closest to the family hall, dozing a little with an arm draped over the bulge of her stomach. she jerks awake, though, when there's a sudden spasm that kind of hurts. she's dozed off again, fifteen minutes later, when it happens again, and she sits up a little, looking alarmed.]

Kai!

[strokes her hair a bit, nodding.]

Yeah. We should probably head out of the bathroom soon, unless you want to give birth in here. I mean, if you do, it's your choice, but it probably wouldn't be too comfortable.

[smooches the top of her head.]

[dawningcoast]

He's been through way worse. It hurts, but it's... hard to describe. He'll pull through.

[Does Riku want to look at the birthing book? It has pictures!]

[captive_destiny]

They've been in there a while, though.

[are they traumatizing pictures? he doesn't have much experience with children, especially infants.]

[smolderingf1re]

[makes a face and shifts so he'll be able to get up and help her up off the floor.]

No thanks, my ass is already going to sleep. The way I was sitting before felt pretty good, though.

[regalheart]

[chuckles and stands back up, holding a hand out for her.]

You can find a comfortable position when we're back out there.

[dawningcoast]

It can take a while.

[Nothing graphic! They're mostly drawings to show how the whole process works from the inside.]

/tags & runs

[captive_destiny]

[he'll take it then, carefully keeping most of his curiosity hidden behind a mask in case she changes her mind. he vaguely remembers learning some of this in school, but that feels like another lifetime ago.]

[smolderingf1re]

[takes his hand and hauls herself up, stumbling a little once she's on her feet, clinging to him to get her balance back-- aaaaa motherfucker another one? it's only been like a minute. ;o; ]

Ow ow ow ow. Yeah, time to be on a bed, I think.

[regalheart]

Alright, c'mon.

[helps her to the door, opening it for her and helping her through to the bed. HI GUYS.]

[dawningcoast]

[Oh, hello. Riku looks up when the door opens, eyebrows up.]

Everything okay?

[captive_destiny]

[he's quick to climb to his feet, managing to do it in one smooth motion, his eyes flicking from Riku to Axel nervously.]

Can I do anything to help?

[smolderingf1re]

[settles onto the bed, twisting a little to grab more pillows to shove behind her. she wasn't kidding about the squatting being comfortable.]

The contractions are coming faster, so no, not really okay at all. I thought this was supposed to take hours and hours or something.

[regalheart]

Depends on the person, I think. Do you need some more pillows?

[because Riku could get them if he wants to feel helpful, but.]

[dawningcoast]

Kai's right. There's no set time for it.

[She crosses her arms, leaning back in her seat.]

[captive_destiny]

[he's going for more pillows before Kai can even finish the question!]

I'll get them, so you don't have to leave.

[smolderingf1re]

[good, he's just in time leaving to miss Axel having another contraction that's more painful than the previous ones. when she's through groaning and grimacing; ]

OW, motherfucker, that was like. Someone trying to pull my stomach out through my ass. Only more frontwards.

[regalheart]

Well, just think, after this it won't happen again?

[smooches Axel's forehead.]

If you ever want more kids, I'll carry or something.

[dawningcoast]

[No, Riku, we are not going to let our amusement at Axel's statement show, no matter how accurate it is. But she's standing up now, doing a check on supplies.]

Not the best time to bring up more kids.

[smolderingf1re]

[ahh, the violence is starting, since Axel smacks him for that, though she's leaning against him at the same time.]

Yeah, really, although the idea of you looking like this is pretty damn funny. Let's just stick with the one that's trying to come out for now.

[regalheart]

[snorts, grinning just a little. why the violence, woman.]

That works for me.

[dawningcoast]

I think I threatened Red about that when I was at this stage.

[It possibly involved requesting scissors from doctorku. But anyway. There's... not really anything else she can do right now, so she's leaning against the wall and checking her watch to see how long it's been.]

[captive_destiny]

[he's finally returning, with no less than five pillows taken from the beds in a few rooms, glancing from Axel to Kai, then to Riku.]

Is this enough?

[smolderingf1re]

[aaaaaaa pillowku ilu. would say something along those lines, but she's busy having another contraction and trying to breathe through it.]

[regalheart]

That's perfect, Riku.

[smiles gratefully, and takes the pillows to arrange around/under Axel.]

[dawningcoast]

[They seem to have everything under control, Axel's not screaming yet, and it looks like they've still got a bit of time to go. Riku rubs at her arm idly, moving to sit down again.]
