Labor: Stage 2

                                                                    ##Stage 2: I can push?##

"Alright, [Name]. On the next contraction, push as hard as you can." I gulped, nodding. When the contraction hit, I pushed. "Ghh...!" I panted, more tears falling down my face. "Keep pushing!" "AAAHH!!" It hurt so much. I fell back against the pillows, breathing hard. "Karbro, go the rag." Karkat nodded, rushing to the bathroom. I grabbed my leg and pushed again, sobbing. "Gamzee! I-It hurts! FUCK!" He kissed me on the head. "Don't worry. Think about who'll be here when it's all over." My baby. I thought about my baby. I clenched my eyes shut, trying to get an image in my head. I felt something cold go over my face, making me sigh a little. Pushing again, I got an image.

It was of me, and Gamzee, and the baby. He was out here with us, sleeping. 'That's what I need to think of...' I kept that image in my head as I pushed. A bad contraction hit this time, making my pushing weaker. "GAAH!" I screamed at the top of my lungs, throwing my head back. Karkat kept wiping my face with the rag, which was starting to make my face itch. "WILL YOU GET THE FUCKING RAG OFF OF ME?!" Karkat flinched, taking the rag away quickly.

##Outside; Third Person Point Of View (NEW POV! XD)##

"WILL YOU GET THE FUCKING RAG OFF OF ME?!" Everyone in the waiting room jumped. "Holy shit... [Name]'s gonna be mute by the time she's done." Dave stared at the door where [Name] was being held. Terezi laughed. "Yeah. Gamzee and Karkat'll be deaf too! Hehehe!" Tavros was worried, however. "You think she'll, uh, be alright?" Mr. Egbert laughed while Dirk smirked. "Don't worry, son." Mr. Egbert patted Tavros' shoulder. "Take it from a father; a woman who screams during birth, means they're going to be fine." An ear shattering scream broak through the room. "So that means [Name]'s gonna be fine?" Mr. Egbert laughed, but nodded. "GAMZEE MOTHERFUCKING MAKARA!! WHEN I'M THROUGH WITH THIS, I'M GONNA FUCKING KILL YOU!!" Everyone stared at the door in shock. Everyone except Dirk and Mr. Egbert. "Bro... is that normal?" Dave asked, eyebrows raised and shades falling down his nose. Dirk smirked wider and nodded. "When mom was giving birth to you, she cursed the doctor around the world." Dirk chuckled. "Really?" Dave pushed his shades back up. His brother nodded. "Yup. Mom knew different languages too, so she LITERALLY cursed the doctor around the world." (A/N: Makin' this up as I go. :I) Dave smirked and sat back down.

More screams, groans, and death threats came from the delivery room. As did threats to rip Gamzee's dick off, but... no one wanted to repeat those. "Oh Glub... I hope she's okay in there." Feferi said sadly. "Same here." Nepeta leaned against Equius' shoulder. Everyone was worried. [Name] had been in stage 2 for a while now. And she kept spouting death threats to Gamzee and Karkat. Vriska was pacing up and down the hall, along with John. Dave was sitting with Terezi, who looked nervous. Even Dave was beginning to get twitchy. Feferi and Eridan were talking, but got distracted whenever [Name] yelled. Finally, the screams stopped. Everyone stared at the door for a few minutes. "...Is it... is it over?" John muttered as he and Vriska stopped in front of the door. Suddenly, a few nurses and the doctor flung the door open and started running down the hall. With a small bundle in a container. "Wh-what's going on?!" A tired voice came from the room. "Where are they taking my baby?!" Everyone outside listened carefully. "It seems there's some blockage in the baby's lungs. We're seeing if we can get it out."

##You're Point Of View##

The nurse walked out. I fell against the pillows. "No..." I started sobbing, covering my face with my hands. I felt someone sit behind me and hug me gently. "[Name]..." Gamzee's voice cracked. I looked up at him and saw indio tinted tears falling down his face. Karkat walked out of the room, covering his face with his hand. I noticed some people looking in, my friends, but... I didn't care right now. I sobbed violently, clutching Gamzee's shirt with weak hands. "FUCK!" Gamzee cried right along with me. 'All I wanted was my baby... Why did this have to happen?!'
