A New Age

Chapter 10 Birth

"AH GET THIS DAMN THING OUT OF ME" Raina yelled as she held Edward's hand, tightly squeezing it. "One more big push Raina" the doctor said. "Ehhhhh" Raina pushed.

Then there was the cries. The sweet cries of the child Raina and Edward thought would never come. Raina laid her head back on the bed and closed her eyes taking in slow deep breaths. "It's a girl" the doctor said wrapping her up in a blanket. Edward smiled as he stared down at his beautiful new born baby daughter. "My god she's beautiful" he said, when suddenly he felt rainas hand let go of his.

"Raina?" He said turning back to her. She was out cold. "Raina!" He said worried, as doctors began to rush into the room. "What's happening?" He asked as he was pushed away from her. "She's dying" the doctor said as they rolled her bed out of the room quickly.

24 HOURS EARLIER

"my god why can't it just come out already" Raina said as she laid sprawled out on the couch. "It loves you so much it doesn't want to leave you" Edward laughed. "Shut up you have no clue how this feels" she told him. "I'm so uncomfortable no matter what I do" she said. "I'm sure it'll be here soon" he assured her.

Raina let out a sigh. "You don't think there will be any issues right?" She asked "I have no doubt the baby will be born as healthy as can be" a waman said walking into the room with a cup of tea.

Name: Angela Michaels

Rank: A

Power: Heal

Clan: Meta Human

"Ange you have no clue how happy I am your here" Raina told her as she handed her the cup. "I know I'm totally the best" Angela Chuckled.

PRESENT TIME

"What's happening?!" Angela questioned as she ran into the room after the doctors took Raina out. "I.... I don't know" Edward said in shock. Angela walked over to the nurse who held the baby. "Hand him his baby" Angela said quietly in anger to the nurse who seemed to be just as surprised as Edward.

"Here sir" she said handing him the baby. Edward stared down at her. She had black hair like his. And her eyes... her eyes were the same red as Raina's. "We never even discussed names" Edward said as he stared down at her.

"She'll be fine" Angela told him as she stared down at the baby as well.

Hours passed and they didn't hear anything from doctors or nurses. They just sat in the room waiting. Afraid if they left she would never come back.

"Mr. Link?" A doctor said entering the room. "How is she?" Edward asked standing up. "What happened" Angela asked.

"Her placenta didn't detach properly after giving birth which caused severe bleeding from her uterus" the doctor told them.

"What could have caused it?" Angela asked.

"Most likely to much stress on her body" the doctor replied.

3 MONTHS PRIOR

"You can't use your power until after the baby is born" the doctor told Raina and Edward. "Why? I've never heard of that?" Raina questioned. "Your ability is one that can compromise not only yourself but the ba y as well if you lose to much blood" the doctor told her. "Along with that even if you don't use your own blood it puts a strain on your body which is already putting all of its energy to the little life growing inside you" the doctor said.

Raina and Edward walked out of the doctors office and towards the car. "How am I not supposed to use my power when someone is trying to kill us every week?" Raina asked him as he opened the car door for her and she got in.

"We'll just have to up security again" he told her as he got in from the driver's side of the car. "Yeah yeah, just what we need more people watching us" Raina said.

PRESENT TIME

7 hours after the birth

Edward sat by a sleeping Raina. Holding his child in his arms. To him they looked so similar so peaceful.

That was when Raina opened her eyes. "Hey" she said "hey" he replied to her. "Pick a name yet" she asked him. "Not without you," he replied to her "never without you" he said, Raina Gave a light smile. Then she looked behind him staring put the window. "It's snowing" she said. Edward turned around for a moment then turned back to her.

"It is February" he said "but this is the first snow" she replied. "Aneira..." she told him. He looked at her confused. "Aneira?" Edward Questioned. "Her name, it means much snow" she told him. "We talked about naming her based off of when or how she came into the world remember?" She asked.

1 MONTH PRIOR

Raina and Edward were in the kitchen dancing to music as they put icing on a cake. "We should really decide on a name" Raina said as she turned down the music. "We don't even know what we're having yet... how in the world can we choose a name?" Edward asked. "I don't know but we should at least talk about it" Raina said as she finished with the icing.

"Well name her after how she is born how bout that" he said. "Yeah let's definitely do that" Raina said she took some icing and put it on her finger, then rubbed it on his nose. "The cakes finished" she said seductively.

"Not yet" he said grabbing some icing as well. "But it's about to be" he added as he started to chase her around the kitchen. "No, no" she laughed as he caught her and got the icing on her face as well.

PRESENT DAY

"Yeah I remember" he told Raina. "I think that's a good name" he said. "But Aneira Link doesn't sound right" he told her. She looked at him confused. "I want her to have your last name" he said. "Weather you stay or go Aneira Michaels should be her name" he told her.

"Oh Eddy" she said. "I'm not going anywhere" she told him.
