Chapter 268 - Birth
Abigail screamed in pain as she pushed as hard as she could, she could feel an aching tightening feeling in her uterus almost like a body cramp but so much more intense than it almost felt like her uterus had been ripped off her body.
"Keep her still!" The doctor screamed to John and Victor who tightened on her wrists keeping her down and her wriggle under control.
Abigail kept screaming as if she was being tortured and right then Victor rejected not have thought about buying the house in a lost place without neighbors.
John frowned his forehead as he gazed at the doctor who seemed even more concerned. Abigail had been pushing for about ten minutes now and for what he knew vampires usually gave birth quickly.
"Abigail I want you to push stronger!" The doctor insisted, he received a glower from Victor followed by a scold, "do you want her to die?? she's already pushing!"
Victor's eyes freshened reddener as he groaned at the doctor who took a deep breath.
The doctor had a perplex facial expression.
"It's not coming out." He said in a murmur, the doctor's voice broke. It was never a good thing to tell a vampire the baby wasn't successfully coming out especially not in that state.
"What does it mean?" Victor's voice thundered in the room but John intervened before his cousin could lose his patience. "We can help her, let's help her with the pain so she will be able to push stronger," John observed darting his gaze to the doctor who hearing John grimaced doubtful.
"It can be risky and rarely works..." the doctor commented but when Victor glowered at him one more time revealing his long fang he swallowed down.
Victor nodded to John, they both closed their eyes and focused before intensifying their grip over Abigail's wrists.
The pain they felt was so excruciating they immediately released the grip as an unconscious response to the pain, "if that is what women have to deal with every time they gave birth they deserve a gold statue in their honor." John observed before they attempted a second try.
This time they were prepared for the strong pain and knew what they had to expect so they weren't willing to let go.
Their grip intensified around Abigail's wrist and at that exact time she got another strong cramp she screamed out all her voice.
John and Victor focused in sync, they narrowed their eyes and contracted all their muscles to endure that pain. They even had to clench their eyes and grunt but after few seconds their attempt was successful enough to reduce Abigail's pain of the double and allow her to push as strongly as she could.
She took a long breath and then pushed with all her energy and all her muscles until the magic words of the doctors echoed in the room, "it's working!" he exclaimed, his eyes filled with joy and he seemed very relieved.
"Keep going!" He encouraged Abigail who smiled, hearing the words of the doctor she suddenly felt a burst of energy and motivation to keep pushing.
A scream escaped from her lips as she pushed one more time, the head of the baby came out, it was almost twice as big as human's babies.
The baby, as usually during supernatural births, began to writhe and cry. His shoulder came out because of its writhe and the doctor managed to keep the baby still and begin to work to pull him out.
"The worst part is over, stay strong!"
Abigail was even paler than usual and her lips were purple, cold sweat kept dripping her forehead as she began to shake drained out of energy.
John and Victor focused, even more, helping Abigail to resist for few more minutes as the doctor pulled the baby completely out.
The doctor took a breath of relief as he exclaimed, "you did it!"
Abigail hinted a smile before she gave up and her vision got darker, she fainted from the efforts and her intense blooding.
The child was a boy, he began to cry even louder and the doctor headed it to Victor as he rushed to check Abigail's heartbeat through her wrist.
As Victor held the child he stopped to cry almost magically, he babbles moving his hand over his father's face and slightly smiling. Victor's eyes sparkled in joy but when he turned around to let Abigail see their son was smiling at him he saw she was asleep.
"What happened to her?" Victor asked, his voice rang all the preoccupation which filled his body as his heart sank heavily in his chest.
"She fainted, her body lost much blood. She has a desperate need of blood." The doctor replied in a murmur as with a towel he tapped over Abigail's face.
"There's animal's blood in the fridge, I will go to..." John said as he took few steps forward to the kitchen.
"Human blood." The doctor rectified making John halt and turn around to look at Victor, they swallowed down and shook their heads.
"We can't give her human blood. She just got used to animal blood." Victor observed, the child exploded in tears as he began to scream and cry loudly.
"They both need human blood now. A vampire's baby needs human blood as the first type of food he eats to allow him to grow stronger and quicker." The doctor explained, not taking no for answer and having Victor took a deep breath. He let the doctor carry his son before he speeded into his kitchen.
He was back after about a few minutes carrying a glass bottle filled with a blood liquid darker than the usual blood they drunk.
"Here," Victor whispered, heading the bottle to the doctor who sat the baby on the sofa while John proceeded to keep the child's head still while the doctor leaned the bottle closer to him.. The baby opened his mouth and the doctor finally let few drops of blood fall.
