Epilogue-Skye
“Daceria I love you so much.” Adam spoke softly kissing her lips.
“I love you too, Adam and I can’t wait to hold our baby.” replied Daceria patting her stomach.
It seemed like the baby was taking forever to grow inside of Daceria. Daceria knew something the baby would be only a quarter demon meaning it would be targeted by the hunters. Kedro was dead but Keri had gotten away from their grasp. She very well could return with a vengance. Adam was on special medication so that if the hunters tried the same stunt again it would have no effect.
“What should we name it?” asked Adam. He wanted to leave the name up to Daceria.
“That a good question. Let me see if it’s a girl, I think we’ll name it Skye. It’s a beautiful name and her name comes from the sky.
“Fine with me, but what if it’s a boy then what?” asked Adam
“Hmm.....Brett is a nice name.” replied Daceria recembering Darkstorm’s real name.
“Okay then Brett or Skye. I like them both.” smiled Adam kissing Daceria then benid down and kissing her stomach.
“I can’t wait to tell Forest and Kallman when they return from their honeymoon.” Daceria smiled. Daceria couldn’t believe that she had went from trusting no one at all to falling madly in love with a human and now bearing his child.
She didn’t care if it was a boy or girl. All that mattered was that it was healthy, safe, and protected. She swore her child would grow up in a worry free enviroment. She would also tell the baby her story once she was old enough to understand.
Daceria started to cramp up. Her stomach churned and twisted. She felt like she was going to fall over. Adam knew immediatey wat was going on. Daceria was going into labor with the baby.
“Daceria, hold on, I’ll get you out of here.” softly spoke Adam gently lifting Daceria out of bed and out of their home. Daceria screamed and groaned in terrible pain.
Kai appeared out of the shadows. He looked at Daceria then to Adam.
“The baby is coming isn’t it?” he asked.
“Yep, know how to deliver it? The hospitals won’t take demons as patients.” asked Adam.
“Um, actually I do know. Bring out a huge blanket, pillows, and plenty of towels.” replied Kai taking Daceria and holding her steady until Adam returned.
Adam rushed back to their tree and grabbed what Kai asked for and rushed back outside as quickly as possible.
“Huh,huh, few....” breathed Adam. “Here you go now please help her.” he replied as he caught his breath.
“I will. Daceria lay down and breathe in and out after every push.” explained Kai.
“Okay.” she replied taking slow steady breaths as Kai instructed.
“Legs up and apart and relax.” Kai instructed.
“......” breathed Daceria as she pushed and pushed. A head appeared. Kai slighty got his hands on the baby, and slowly pulled it out. It was crying, screaming, and covered in blood. Kai grabbed a towel and headed for the spring.
Daceria looked to Adam who was following Kai. Daceria wanted to get up but she knew she couldn’t. It took them a good ten minutes. Kai returned with the baby now wrapped in a clean towel and Adam trailing behind.
“Kai......what.....is....it?” asked Daceria breathing in and out slowly.
“It’s a girl!” Adam exclaimed.
“So, what are you guys naming her?” asked Kai. Adam spoke for Daceria knowing she was exhausted.
“Her name is Skye.” smiled Adam as he took the little baby in his arms and kissed her on the forehead. He then looked at his wife Daceria. He handed the baby to Daceria. Daceria held Skye in her arms.
“She’s beautiful.” smiled Daceria.
“Okay, you’ll need to stay in bed for a few days. I’ll tell the others and we’ll see if we can arrange a party for the baby. Adam picked up Daceria and took her to their bed.
“She needs a crib.” Daceria said handing Skye to Adam.
“Don’t worry, I’ll make sure she’s safe and tucked in.” replied Adam. “Oh and Skye reminds me of you.”
“Really how?” asked Daceria.
“Your both beautiful.” he smiled kissing them both.
