Heather screamed as she squeezed her eyes shut.
“Oh fuck, that hurts” She screamed again as she grabbed onto Daniel’s hand tightly.
“It’s going to be okay. Why can’t she give birth now?” He questioned as he turned to the doctor.
“Because she’s still at 6cm. She needs to be at 10cm to give birth. Don’t worry Miss Swift, just keep breathing, okay? The contraptions will come and go” Daniel cussed then turned to Heather and began caressing her hair.
“Just breathe, okay?” Heather took a deep breath then stared into Daniel’s eyes.
“What about Kiara?” Daniel frowned.
“What about her?”
“If I’m feeling this kind of pain, I can’t even imagine what she’s going to feel when it’s her turn to give birth. Can you reach out to Levi? Let’s know how they are doing?” Daniel sighed. He couldn’t believe Heather was thinking about Kiara at a time like this even though she was the one currently in pain.
He understood that their relationship with each other was more like sisters and it was a relationship he always admired.
“Okay, if that will make you feel better then I’ll call Levi right away” Heather nodded then groaned lowly while he continued to caress her hair.
“And also, tell them I’m about to give birth. I’m sure it would motivate them” Daniel nodded, then placed a kiss on her lips before reaching for his phone on the nightstand without letting go of her hand.
After some minutes, Levi picked up, sounding breathless.
“Hello? Is something wrong? Did something happen to Kiara?” Daniel furrowed his eyebrows.
“Why do you sound so out of breath?” Levi sighed dramatically.
“They turned me into a slave over here. I can’t wait to get back” Daniel chuckled.
“Well you’d like to hear this. Heather’s water broke and she might go into labor anytime from now” Levi’s gasp was so loud that Heather chuckled while hearing it.
“Oh my God, that’s great news! Anastasia, Heather is going into Labour. Switch to facetime!” Daniel chuckled and immediately switched.
Heather forgot her momentary pain as she stared at Levi’s and Anastasia’s happy faces.
“You’ve got this Heather. I can’t wait to become a godfather” Heather giggled lightly.
“When are you guys coming back? Kiara’s due date is soon and the pain seems to be increasing. She won’t be able to do this without you Anastasia” Anastasia sighed as she ran her fingers through her hair.
“I’m doing everything as fast as I can but It’s not easy trying to learn another species of witches spell but I believe I should be done learning everything before Kiara’s due date. I promised Zane I was going to help and I intend to keep that promise” Heather was about to say something but instead, a groan came out as she grabbed onto her stomach.
“Oh fucking get this child out of me!” Daniel immediately turned the phone away from her, towards himself.
“I’ll call back when the baby is here” Even though Daniel was obviously worried about Heather, he couldn’t help but get excited and nervous to meet his child… if it was his child but he had a feeling it was.
After Daniel hung up, he continued to caress Heather’s hair.
“Okay, calm down, love. You just…”
“Don’t you fucking tell me to calm down!” Daniel’s words immediately got stuck in his throat as he stared at her with wide eyes.

Later at night, Zane cleaned away the sweat on Kiara’s forehead while whispering soothing words in her ear as she cried out in pain.
She wasn’t just digging her claws into his hand anymore but also into his arm.
“Zane” Her voice cracked as she called out his name. He Immediately began peppering kisses on her face while still cleaning away her sweat.
“It’s going to pass. Just cry as much as you want. Scream as much as you want, do whatever you can to withstand the pain. You have done it before and you can keep doing it” He murmured and she cried louder as she spread her legs open.
“It hurts Zane” She murmured as tears fell freely down her cheeks.
“I know baby and I wish I could help you with your pain. Just breathe,okay?” After a while, the pain began to lessen.
“See? It’s better, right?” Zane murmured then placed a kiss on her forehead.
“Zane, the pain is getting unbearable. I don’t… I don’t think…”
“Shhhh, don’t say things like that. It’s going to be okay, alright?” Kiara took a deep breath then turned to him with a tired smile.
He wanted to smile back but he couldn’t because of how tired she looked. She had developed tired lines on her face and even her eyes looked tired. Her skin and lips were so pale that it bothered him.
“Thank you for being here with me, Zane. I won’t have been able to make it this far without you” She murmured softly as she gave his hand a slight squeeze.
He leaned forward and placed a kiss on her lips before covering her with the blanket.
“You need to rest now so you can recover the strength you just lost” Before she could say anything, Heather and Daniel suddenly walked into the room.
Kiara gasped with her hand over her mouth as she stared at the little human in Heather’s arm.
“Heather…” Kiara uttered softly as Heather walked towards her with the baby.
“I’m not supposed to be moving around but I wanted you to hold the baby as well. By the way, it’s a boy” Heather murmured as happy tears fell down her cheeks.
The baby squirmed a little as Heather gently placed him in Kiara’s arms. Kiara laughed gently with tears streaming down her face.
“Hey there little boy, you’re the cutest thing ever. You look just like Daniel” There wasn’t even any need for a paternity test because as soon as Heather laid her eyes on the baby, all she saw was Daniel.
“I’m kind of mad that he didn’t take anything from me” Heather murmured as she caressed her fuzzy baby’s head.
“He’s perfect Heather. Congratulations to you and Daniel, I’m so glad you did it. Have you decided on a name for him?” Heather nodded with a smile.
“I was really hoping it was going to be a girl so I could give her your name but since it turned out to be a boy, I don’t know if you’ll mind but I decided to name him Nikolas” The tears streamed down Kiara’s face as she caressed Nikolas’ cheek.
“Hi Nikolas” Zane and Daniel didn’t even notice when they began to cry.
Zane could hear the pain in Kiara’s voice as she called out Nikolas’ name and it made his heart clenched. If it weren’t for him…
Daniel immediately placed his hand on Zane’s shoulder as if sensing what Zane was thinking. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
“His name isn’t done yet. Even though you’re rude to me most of the time, you have always been there for me when I needed you and you’re not just my best friend but a brother to me. I know this is cheesy and probably isn’t as emotional but I decided to name my son Zane. Nikolas Zane Michaels” Zane grinned and without saying anything, he wrapped his arms around Daniel, hugging him tightly.
“Thank you, brother”…
