Chapter 76 Coraline Amaris Walters

Chapter 76 Coraline Amaris Walters

It's two weeks before my due date and I'm having the worst pains ever. I feel weaker, drained, I'm drenched in sweat and can hardly move. It's gotten worse and worse each day. Andrew has barely left my side and everyone is worried.

I haven't heard anything from, Eva, for 3 weeks now and it scares me. I don't feel her either, just emptiness on her side. Lyra, thinks it's my wolf side dying out, the first thing to go was my wolf, now my senses and healing. Sure, Elizabeth is still here but she's getting weaker too, she's also drained and that made Lyra worry even more.

It rushed her to quickly finish her spell, by using a few drops of my blood. She knows and so does everyone.

I'm dying.

They don't want to say it but they know it's true. It hurts me to see them this way, watching me on my death bed, especially Andrew. He's hardly gotten any sleep or eaten anything. With him watching me twenty-four-seven he hasn't got time for himself and he won't, when I tell him to.

"Andrew." I look over at him with his hands holding his head.

He instantly looks up and seeing his red eyes and the bags under them made me look up at him with sadness. "Yeah, do you want something?" He asks.

"Yes."

"Sure, what is it?"

"For you to take a shower," He immediately began to shake his head but I continued. "Get something to eat and get some rest."

"I'm fine right here."

"No you're not." I cover my mouth and cough. I look to see blood in the middle of my palm and it was quickly wiped away by Andrew. This has been happening for a week now and there is nothing Lyra can do or give me to make it stop. Andrew, slowly leans my head up to take a sip of water. I sigh as the cool water runs down my dry throat and I lay my head back onto the pillow.

"Baby, you look terrible and I don't like watching you torture yourself like this." I continue.

"I'm afraid if I leave then y-you might too." He his voice cracks in the end and I grab a hold of his hand.

"I'm still here, ok?"

"But for how long?" He lays his head next to mine on the pillow. "I don't want to lose you." He whispers as a tear rolls down my face.

I squeeze his hand but much tighter than intended. I scream as I feel claws clawing my insides. Andrew, jolts back up and places his hand on my stomach trying sooth the pain but it only gets worse.

"AHH!!" I cry at the top of my lungs. It's worse than anything I've felt before. My heart beats rising, my chest is on fire and it feels like somethings wants to claw through me.

Lyra runs in and looks at my state. She runs to my side and place her hand on my stomach. She gasp and looks at me with shock and worry.

"What is it?"

"The baby is coming." She states.

My eyes widen and so does Andrew's.

"Simon!" she calls.

He was already by the door looking at me in horror. "Get me scissors, as much blankets and towels as possible and warm water, now! The baby is coming."

"What? The baby is to come in to two weeks."

"Tell the baby that. Get me the stuff!"

"Ok." He disappears from the door, then I hear him scream at the others to get water and blankets. I let out another scream as the pain gets more intense. It feels like my bones are cracking!

"Andrew, keep holding her hand and try to calm her down."

He gulps and nods. He looks back down at me with tears in his eyes. "I can't." I cry trying to keep myself from screaming.

"Yes, you can! I am not losing you today, Elle Cooper." I laugh through the pain and nod, agreeing with him. "Now, breath. Tell me what you want me to do."

"Just hold my hand."

"Of course, baby." He kisses my hand before leaning down and kisses me on my forehead.

Lyra sits my legs up, widening them. I let another scream out again as Simon comes running in frantically, not knowing what to do. If I wasn't dying right now, I would be laughing.

"I got 'em, I got 'em. What do I do now?" He place the blankets next to my legs on the bed and hands the basin, filled with water to Lyra.

"Get on her other side and hold her other hand." She demands. Her eyes trails to the door way and everyone is watching me, terrified. "I'm going to need you boys to go outside. She'll be fine." They all send me reassuring smiles before closing the door.

She spreads a towel just above my legs and looks up at me. "Elle, I need you to breath ok?" I nod while doing the breathing technique, trying not let out another blood curdling scream as I feel a sharp pain in rib.

"She really wants to get out of there." I joke but Andrew just looks at me with sympathy and try to sooth my pain, rubbing circles on my belly. Simon just looks red as a tomato.

"Are you ok?" I asks.

"Yeah, it's just that you got a grip there." He complains with his voice squeaking.

Something randomly ticks me off and I begin to take my anger out on him. "I can't help it, Simon! There is huge ass baby trying to claw it's way out of me- AHHH!" I scream and tighten my hold on both of their hands. Simon screams along with me, looking like he's on the verge of crying. "Are you crying?!" I scream.

"No!" He cries.

"Oh my god, oh my god! She's coming!"

"Ok, It's time. I need you to push!" Lyra shouts.

I begin to push while screaming on the top of my lungs. My chest is on fire, I can hardly breathe and I'm already tired. Andrew, dabs a wet rag on my face and tries to calm me down by talking to me. "AH! Shut up!" I immediately felt bad because he's just trying to help. "I'm sorry."

"It's ok."

"It's ok?! You're the one that did this to me!" I cry.

"I'm mean, I'm sorry." He says confused and scared.

"Ugh! Shut up!" What's wrong with me?

"Elle, push!" I do as she says and put as much energy I could muster. "We're getting somewhere."

Relief rushed over me hearing that and I sucking in a breath and so did something else... down there!. "What the fuck was that?!"

"It's ok. Just keep pushing."

"Oh, sweet mother nature." I hear Simon mutter beside me before he falls to the ground.

I roll my eyes and snap at Andrew, "Leave him there." I growl.

"Come on, Elle, work with me. Push!."

"Baby, you can do this."

"I don't think so." I cry.

"Yes, you can." They both say in unison.

Taking in a huge breath and fisting the sheets, I push once again. I feel something going on down there but I can't tell. "I see a head!" Lyra shouts, looking up at me with a smile.

"You're getting close." Andrew smiles and kisses my hand.

This only motivated me more to push again. At this point, I'm out of breath again and I feel myself getting droopy. "One more!"

After one last push, I hear crying. I drop my head on the pillow and let an exhausted breath out. "It's a beautiful baby girl." Lyra announces.

She carefully gives the baby to Andrew. Looking at the huge grin on his face as he tries to calm her down, brought a smile to my face.

"Mommy's right here." He whispers to her. I manage to sit up more and he carefully places her in my arms.

She quiets down once was in my arms and I couldn't help the smile on my face once I saw her. She's so beautiful, she has big beautiful chocolate browns eyes, just like her father and I'm in love.

I look up at Andrew and he was already looking at both of us in awe. "You made it through." He says with a huge smile on his face.

"I guess I did." I said proudly. Andrew gives me a longing kiss before we turn our attention back to our daughter. Her eyes are widen, looking at us in fascination. We laugh at how cute she is. "She has so much hair." I said looking at her beautiful black hair.

"What's the baby girl's name?" Lyra asks.

I look at Andrew, remembering the name we agreed with. "Coraline Amaris Walters." She looks up at me with her big eyes as if already knowing her name.

"Child of the moon, that's a beautiful name." She looks down at the floor next to the bed. "Now, we got to get this one to wake up." She says referring to Simon still knocked out.

My smile slowly fades away as I begin to feel the burn in my chest intensify. I try to take deep breaths but it doesn't help, I can't breath.

"Andrew, take Cora." He looks at me confused but still takes her. I cover my mouth as I to uncontrollably begin to cough. I slowly at look my hand, afraid to see what I know is there. My heart stops when I see the blood in my hands. I look up at Andrew and I see the fear in his eyes as he holds our daughter.

"Elle, what's- No." He begs with his voice cracking.

I feel myself getting droopy again and I rest my on the pillow feeling myself about to give out.

"What is happening?!" Andrew, asks Lyra with fear clear in his eyes.

"I love you." I whisper before drowning into the darkness.

NIKOLAOS' POV

I stand by the window, watching everyone at work. My wall is now finished for my safety, from anyone trying to attack. Of course Elizabeth will be able to get passed, I am kind of hoping she does. I haven't seen any sight of her for the past nine months, I'm hoping she's ok after delivering the baby.

It scares me to think the baby could be a danger to her life. I felt the power of that child once she was close to me. That baby will be power hungry and this is exactly why I want to get my hands on this baby. This baby can save my kind.

"The child should be here any time now." I state.

"What should we do now?" Adam asks.

I turn around and look at him with a smile. "I want to make sure the baby is here first. Lets wait a week and then we send our warning. Where is Isabel?"

"In her room, Sir."

"Same state?"

"Yes."

"She'll be fine. Give her a day or two."

I already warned her what would happen, but she wouldn't take no for an answer. To be honest, I don't really care about her that much, I just needed her insight on the pack but she went and messed it up by letting everyone know there is an insider. She became useless then and begged me to do this. Now she's on the floor curled up in pain.

"And how is the vampire doing?"

"He's ready, Sir."

My smile widen and I look back out the window. "I'll be seeing him tomorrow. We've got some things to talk about."

My plan is going out perfectly.
