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!

[At least she's trying to be as gentle as possible? She'll understand if Axel kicks her in the face, though. But yes, seeing as that's exactly what she's looking for, once she's measured it based on what she knows, she's pulling her hand out and peeling the glove off.]

Whenever you feel like you need to push, go ahead.

[captive_destiny]

[he's hanging back, still kneeling by the side of the bed to watch worriedly.]

Do you want something to bite on?

[smolderingf1re]

[goes a little pale, expression worried and maybe a little scared. she knew pushing was involved somewhere, but now that it's time to, it sounds a lot more painful than what's already been going on.]

Um. N-no, Riku, but thanks. I have a feeling I'll be too busy screaming to bite things.

[takes a slow, deep breath and starts repositioning, sitting up and scooting back against the pillows, sheet still draped over her legs. even as she's moving, the need to push starts making itself known, which is a little comforting. she was actually a little uncertain about how that part of it worked, whether it was like pooping but from a different place or what--]

[regalheart]

[he's moving to give Axel his hand to squeeze should she need to, not at all caring how hard she could possibly end up squeezing.]

[dawningcoast]

[Riku's just going to hover over by the wall, mostly away from the bed, but ready to leap into action if she needs to! But, just so she knows-]

You'll be fine, Axel.

[captive_destiny]

[nods at Axel's answer, looking a little unsettled at the screaming comment. but then, he'd probably be prone to that too if he were about to push a watermelon through such a small opening in his body.]

[smolderingf1re]

[k so a brief timeskip; about half an hour later, things are progressing... well, they're progressing. Axel's still in the same position, but the screaming has indeed gone up in volume and is happening a lot more. she doesn't even care who hears her at this point, it fucking hurts, and she's probably gritted out "I can't do this" and "make it stop" more than once. but the way she's laying definitely isn't accomplishing anything, which Hachibi surfaces long enough to point out, and suddenly her instincts take over and she shifts awkwardly up into a crouch, belly between her thighs, and yeah, things are going to happen now. but she's unsupported, Kai, better do something. D: ]

[regalheart]

[ack. he's moving to get behind her, to make sure she has something to rest against and to keep her from just falling over, waffling for a moment about where to put his hands, if anywhere, before resting them gently but firmly at her waist.]

[dawningcoast]

[Aside from the whole fact that she's really not sure about the fact that Axel's water still hasn't broken, Riku's not surprised by any of this. She's fretting about that very much, but she's trying to be reassuring on the outside, and most of Axel's protests would have received very encouraging words.]

[captive_destiny]

[he's actually drifted closer to Riku, giving Axel and Kai both a good amount of space.]

[smolderingf1re]

[having Kai there and holding her lets her focus a little more, and after a few incredibly painful pushes with nothing happening except more ragged screaming from her, she rocks forward a little and pushes and suddenly the head is through and out, preceded by the sac of fluid still surrounding it. give Axel a moment to sob breathlessly and remember that she's not through yet.]

[regalheart]

Almost there, sweetheart. You're almost finished.

[he's kind of breathless as well, because this is actually happening, something's actually coming out and he almost can't believe it. he'll just continue to help keep her balanced, thumb rubbing against her hip.]

[dawningcoast]

[As soon as the head is out she's moving over to them automatically, not putting her hands on Axel but holding them out, ready to catch that baby.]

You're doing fantastic. Get the shoulders out and you're done.

[captive_destiny]

[he... really should have stayed where he was. he'd been trying not to look, but couldn't help it when Riku started moving toward them. don't mind that thump, you guys, he's out cold anyway.]

[smolderingf1re]

[sobbing. tries to catch her breath, not even noticing slaveku passing out, and bears down again, pushing with everything she's got, and with one last drawn-out hoarse scream, out comes the rest of baby. \o/ ]

[regalheart]

[if Axel wants to collapse back, he's got her. and she's getting a gentle hug when she finishes.]

You did it, babe. You did it.

[dawningcoast]

[One baby successfully and oh-so-carefully caught. Poor Riku's getting ignored down there on the floor, because baby has this one's full and undivided attention as she carefully eases the kid around in her hands. Things might suddenly become messier as Riku takes hold of the sack with one hand and makes a tear near the baby's neck to very carefully pull it up, over the face... and then she stares.]

[smolderingf1re]

[will just collapse back into Kai's arms, yes, sobbing in relief, because it doesn't hurt any more, and it's over. I hope you had towels down there, olderku. despite her exhaustion, she's picking her head up again to look, and omg. omg husband look at our little mutant baby WHAT IS ITS GENDER RIKU.]

[regalheart]

[our baby is hideous- I mean. he's looking at Riku in very plain curiosity as well, holding his breath without realizing it as he wraps Axel up in a proper hug from behind.]

[dawningcoast]

[She was a little distracted by something else, and she might have had as few as six towels, but no less than that! Riku also had one tossed over her shoulder, a very soft one, which she is now shrugging off and using to carefully cushion your baby with, because she's going to move closer so the both of you can get a good look.]

It's a girl. You have a daughter.

[smolderingf1re]

[will just be crying over here, and leaning forward to touch the damp red fuzz posing as hair on the baby's head, and the ears, and that umbilical cord had better be taken care of quick, because if you hold onto that baby too long, Riku, Axel may start to get snarly. she's feeling very possessive now.]

[regalheart]

[he'll just be resting his chin on Axel's shoulder, looking totally in awe over here.]

[dawningcoast]

[Are you kidding me? She's holding her out for one of them to take. Axel, specifically. The cord should be plenty long enough for that.]

Take her. She's yours.

[smolderingf1re]

[takes her, omg, bundling her up close and nuzzling her. Axel's completely running on baser intuition and instincts now, gently using the edges of the towel to dry the baby off (at least she's not licking her clean!), rubbing color into her skin until baby opens her tiny mouth and starts crying, at which point Axel starts crying a little again too and shifts around a bit so Kai can touch her too.]

[regalheart]

She's gorgeous.

[he's almost scared touching her will cause something to go wrong, but he does anyway, because this is their child and he can't even believe this is real.]
