The pain was excruciating as I feel each contraction. I scream in pain and dig my fingers into the dirt. I stare at the fire as it dances around.
Keep your mind off of the pain Mira… Leo has started a fire so we could see. I can’t believe this is happening! I start to feel the contractions calm down a bit. I sigh and relax for a moment.
Unfortunately, the break didn’t last long. I feel the contractions start again but this time they were worse.
I can do this! I can do this! I can’t do this! I can’t do this! I can’t… I’m too young to be a mother!
What if I suck at it? What if when she gets older, she hates me? What if I such a bad mother, she runs away? What if –
A contraction rips me out of my thoughts
.
“Ahh!! Leo! It hurts! It hurts… it hurts so much! Please! I can’t do this!” I scream.
Leo, who has been by my side this whole time, squeezes my hand and wipes the sweaty hair out of my face
.
“I know baby… I know, but you have to sweetie. You can do this.” He soothes.
I shake my head and start to cry.
“I-I can’t do th-this..” I sob.
“Yes you can. I know you can.”
“I feel like I’m dying!”
“It’ll be over soon. You just have to keep going.”
“I.. can’t!”
“Mira, Mira look at me. I know you can. It’ll be over soon okay?”
I reluctantly nod and shut my eyes. You can do this…
Did I forget to mention the female werewolves’ labor is 10x worse than a human’s labor? Yeah, it feels like trying to push out a 20 ton elephant that’s on fire. That’s a bad description but that’s what it feels like.
“Ahh!!”
Leo places a kiss on the top of my sweaty head and rubs my lower back with his free hand while the other holds my hand. I’m actually impressed how he is holding together. I would’ve thought he would be having a panic attack or something.
I suddenly feel an awful pressure in my lower area. I scream as the pressure makes my spine light on fire. What’s happening?! Think Mira! You didn’t watch all of those birth shows for nothing! Think! Think!
“Ahh!!!” My body arches up, trying to ease the pain.
Wait I remember! It’s-
“Ahh!” The pressure grows and I have an instinctive need to push.
I immediately start to rip off my pants and panties. It’s a struggle but I manage to get them off. I glance over to Leo who is staring at me like I’ve gone mad. I internally roll my eyes at him. What does he think? The baby is going to magically appear out of nowhere?
“Leo the baby is coming freakin out of me and I can’t really catch her when she comes ou-ahh!” Realization finally hits him and he scurries to my lower area.
He looks pale. Poor Leo.
Even though he looks like he’s going to pass out he continues to be supportive. Big bad alpha is scared of child birth. He’s never gonna hear the end of this.
“Okay Mira, you need to push!” He almost yells.
I do just that, holding my breath and pushing as hard as I could, until I feel dizzy from lack of oxygen. I feel her head getting lower, making the pressure 100x worse! I scream, digging my fingers into the dirt. I take a deep breath and push again. This is never gonna end!
“You’re doing so good sweetie, so good. I can see her head. I need you to keep pushing for me sweetie.”
I push until I feel like I’m gonna rip in half. What if I did rip? I shake my head, not wanting to think about it. I suddenly feel less pressure, it’s still there just not as bad.
“Keep pushing, Mira! Her head’s out, you’re almost there!” His voice has a hint of nervousness.
It’s almost over! It’s almost over! I push with all the strength I could possibly muster. I scream and throw my head back in frustration. I’ve been pushing for hours! She is going to be an only child, I swear! Sorry Leo! No kids for you!
Just when I think I can’t do it anymore I see her in my mind…
She’s so beautiful. Her wavy brown hair is flying everywhere as she runs through the field. I see her trying to catch butterflies with her hands and she giggles when one lands on her nose. She looks at me with those icy blue eyes Leo and William have. She runs to me with outstretched arms. I pick her up and spin bet around. She’s so perfect…
This makes me push harder than I thought i could in my weak state. I suddenly feel a flood of relief.
Most of the pain is gone. I just sting a little bit.
I look down to Leo who is grinning widely and something. He looks at me then holds up…
My daughter…
Leo’s POV
I sit beside of her as she screams in pain. I feel totally useless, my mate was in pain and I couldn’t do a thing about it. My wolf is screaming at me to do something but I can’t.
“Ahh!! Leo ! It hurts! It hurts… it hurts so much! Please! I can’t do this!” She screams out as pain consumes her thoughts.
Me and Mira both knew that she had no choice but I comfort her nonetheless. I squeeze her hand tightly then brush the sweaty hair out of her face.
“I know baby… I know, but you have to sweetie. You can do this.” I try to calm her down.
She weakly shakes her head and I see a tear streak down her cheek. This is breaking my heart to see her like this
.
“I-I can’t do th-this…” She sobs.
“Yes you can. I know you can.”
“I feel like I’m dying!”
