Welcome to Gaia! ::

"The covers" Jay said as he walked under the bed to the giant lump of covers "Pale, Aes is here..." He said as he then looked back and gave a small frown. "So are you sure a vaginal birth at this point isn't possible? " He asked Aes

Pale cried out and sat up in bed. Her water had just broken, but she was less concerned about the mess and more about how much it hurt. "Aes, hurry up you-" her next words were a string of profanities that she didn't mean at all, but just felt she had to direct this at someone. The pain was making her use what little energy she had. Maybe he was right with the c-section. She doubted she could push anyways.

An exhilirating soft sweet cry rang in the air and the child trembled, covered in her mothers thick bloody liquids. Her cries did not cease and only grew louder, taking in her first breath and expanding her tiny lungs. She was still attached to her mother through a semi light purple colored cord. Her eyes remained closed and those tiny little fist opened. The child was of a very pale coloring, white porceline skin and soft pink little lips. She was like a little doll which was just set free into a new world of what she knew... nothing about.

She felt like crying. Out of exhaustion, out of the extreme emotional impact. She already had whenever she could feel some of the sensations (even through the gasses given to her), but this was.....their child. It was their child. She'd never been able to hear if Aes said it was a girl or a boy. Looking at her now, she kissed the child's forehead and whispered "Illianna". She couldn't see if the girl had opened her eyes yet or not, so she wasn't sure if she was an albino. But that skin....it lacked pigment just as hers did.

Illianna had cried, which she had been assured of before hand just meant that the child was healthy. The stitches on her stomach hurt, whatever had numbed the feeling before was ebbing away. Pale thought about sleeping at first, but knew Jay would be in soon to see her. Pale moved down the blanket and put Illiana a little ackwardly up tp her chest to see if she was hungry or not.

Jay was willing to enter the room at the first cry he heard...but unfortunate circumstances prevented him from doing so. As he arose, he was in such a hurry he seemed to trip over his own feet. Then as the cries subsided he slowly opened the door and looked at the sight of Pale and their child. Quickly he made his way to her side and gave her a gentle kiss on the lips as he looked down and saw that they had a girl. Their child was a girl. It seemed impossible to remove the giant smile he had on his face at that point. Jay gently reached out and touched the hand of his child, holding it for the first time. "wow..." was all he could say at a moment like this. It seemed unbelievable, but it was true.

Seemingly speechless at that point, he sat down next to her on the bed and then looked at Pale "How do you feel?"

"You stay in bed as long as you want" He said cheerily, the tremendous grin still on his face. "Anything I could get you? Perhaps we should get a soft towel or blanket for Illiana" He seemed to have an unbelievable amount of energy in contrast to her weak state. The birth of his only child seemed unbelievable to him, and now he would do anything at this point to help.

Jay would quickly walk to the dresser and get another blanket, lay it by her side and then sit down once more, just staring in awe at how beautiful their child was. He looked to Pale and gave her another kiss on the cheek, then leaned against the headboard and looked with pride at their child.
