Aether x Reader - Due Date

Continuation of Mating Press
Warning: Contains Birth
—————————————————————————

You hold onto your stomach, feeling the baby kick and move within. You're so happy, so in love. You see Aether looking at you, smiling.
A few more months pass, and you're almost ready to give birth. You're sitting on the couch, your swollen stomach twitching here and there as the kit inside you kicks. You lie back and lean on the couch, Sighing.

Aether stays close to you, prepared for you to go into labor at any moment.
"You're sure you're alright?" He asks.
"I'm fine," You say, as you pick at your dress.
"Do you need anything?" He asks.
You shake your head. "No, not right now," you say.

"Alright." He sits next to you. "I'm here if you do."
You smile. "Thanks."

"I'm proud of you, you know." He says. "You've been so strong through all this,"
"Thanks."
"You don't give up." He says. "You never give up."
"I know."

"I love you, you know."
"I love you too." You smile.
You hold each other for a moment before you feel a cramp in your stomach and feel something drip down your legs and a wet splat of liquid hitting the floor.

You moan in pain as you try to stop the pain and push it away from your mind. You squeeze your eyes shut and take a deep breath.
"You're in labor," he says. "We need to go,"

You nod, taking another deep breath and pushing out the pain, trying to keep your mind clear.
You stand, as your legs shake and your head spins. Aether scoops you up and runs you down to the infirmary, not sure he can get you to the hospital in time. He sets you down on the couch in the infirmary, your legs spasming and your head spinning.

"I need the nurse!" He yells.
The nurse runs in, and grabs your hand. She says something but you don't quite catch it before she helps you up and into a room onto a bed.

She hands Aether a hospital gown to get you into while she goes to get the stirrups.
He goes back over to you and pulls your shirt off, along with your bra, then your wet pants and drenched panties. He slips the hospital gown onto your body and the nurse comes in with the stirrups.

"She's dilated to six," She says. "I'm going to get the doctor now. We're going to get a doctor, and then we'll take it from there."

"Okay." Aether says. He's nervous, his pre-dad anxiety kicking in as you lay on the bed in stirrups, your body trembling with contractions and your body tries to push the kit out of your womb.

You close your eyes, and focus on the pain, trying to keep yourself calm. It hurts, a lot. But, you know what to expect, and you're determined to push through it.

You lay there, trying to stay calm, your mind racing. What do you want? A boy or a girl? You want a little girl, you want to give birth to a daughter. You wonder what element she'll be.

You know that, like multi ghouls, quintessence ghouls can have a kit of any element, with the exception of multis. You hope that your daughter will have the same element as Aether.

You feel a tugging in your womb, and you push back, groaning. Aether holds your arm, trying to offer any sort of comfort. You groan, pushing through the pain. It's like being torn apart and put back together again, but in a good way. You push again, and again, and again.

The nurse urges you on as the doctor works on delivering the baby.
"Keep pushing, it's almost here! One more!"
You push through the pain, trying not to focus on it. The doctor says something about a successful delivery, and you feel a warm, squishy mass exit your body. The nurse catches it and wraps it in a blanket. Your whole body quivers as you sink back against the bed, relieved of the pain.
