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!

[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.]

[dawningcoast]

[Riku will just back up and give them some space to let it all sink in. They've made a beautiful baby, and Riku's absolutely giddy for them. She's all smiles over here.]

[smolderingf1re]

[leans up to kiss Kai, feeling so safe and contented like this, in her husband's arms, and with their child- their daughter in her own arms, and still attached to her.]

She is, and she's ours. We made this, Kai.

[regalheart]

We did. I can hardly believe it.

[presses another kiss to Axel's temple, then her cheek, then looks back down at the baby again.]

[dawningcoast]

[Riku's going to... dart off to clean herself and get something to dispose of those towels. There's plenty more to do, but it's pretty much over now, and Axel will be the one taking care of the rest.

...she'll find something to put under the younger Riku's head, too.]

[captive_destiny]

[he'll start to stir when she does that, but the first thing he sees is Axel holding a very wrinkly thing that looks baby-shaped, with a cord still connecting them. he didn't mean to see that much, but the sight has him out like a light as soon as he realizes where that cord is still going.]

[smolderingf1re]

[still oblivious to slaveku's status, sorry. also good thing he's out again, and olderku went somewhere else, because Axel's examining the cord connecting the baby to her, and then ducking her head and biting clean through it, close to the baby's tummy.]

[regalheart]

You better brush your teeth before we kiss again.

[he's teasing. mostly. and snuggling Axel and baby.]

whoops

[dawningcoast]

[You say that like Olderku would be at all disgusted. Her baby eats maggots. There's not much you can do to get to her. But anyway, she's trying not to bustle around too much, she just wants to clean things up so they can all be comfortable and not have to worry about anything but their new daughter. Who, by the way, is one thing Riku won't be going near especially; she's fully confident Axel will figure out what to do with her.]

gg

[smolderingf1re]

[this is true. Riku will at least need to explain about the placenta coming out too, because Axel's not really aware of that part of the process. she's a little distracted right now anyway, and it might catch her by surprise if she's not braced for it. :|a anyway, she's nuzzling the baby again, the ears especially, which seems to be quieting baby's crying.]

[regalheart]

[ew inside things- I mean. god, he thinks the ears are absolutely adorable, and doesn't care at all that their baby doesn't have human ears.]

[dawningcoast]

[Funny thing, that. She's assuming Axel would be aware of it. Which is why she's so casual as she starts piling things together.]

You might want to hand her over to Kai when you push out the placenta.

[smolderingf1re]

...what. When does that happen?

[thought she was through with pushing. D: ]

[regalheart]

[....he'll let Riku explain that one! because ew.]

[dawningcoast]

...within in the next ten minutes, hopefully. Relax. It doesn't hurt at all compared to what you just went through.

[There are no bones to push out in this one.]

[smolderingf1re]

Oh. Okay. It's... the rest of the stuff that was protecting the baby in there, right?

[relaxes again. =_= also placenta will be more ew for you, Kai, when I'm eating mine.]

[regalheart]

[ewwwww. he's totally going to be paying all attention to baby when she's doing that.]

[dawningcoast]

Exactly. It's--

[She's imitating squeezing it with one hand, balancing a bowl of mess against her hip.]

Squishy. It should come out easily.

[smolderingf1re]

[ewwwww it sounds kind of gross when she describes it like that. 8< but whatever. let's just say Riku does her cleaning whatever and the proud parents cuddle their baby for several more minutes, and then Axel suddenly squirms, making a face.]

I think it's coming. Should I pull on the rest of the cord or something to help it?

[regalheart]

[ew ew ew brb being like. eight over this because it's gross. 8<]
