Didn't Realize Babies Come With Hats

[Sinclair]

There was supposed to be more pain. They kept telling her it was so, and reassuring her that if she felt pain, she could tell them. She didn't need to be brave, or so they tried to convince her. But, despite the tearful first hour of contractions, Desirae was feeling as calm as ever, thanks to the needle injection into her spine combined with her powers. In fact, everything below the injection point- which was at her waist- was numb which helped tremendously with the labor pains. Yes, she was going to have a very hard time walking anywhere anytime soon considering the fact that she couldn't feel her legs at all, but she wasn't worried about that now.

Nearby the nurses were fussing over the newly delivered baby, checking it's APGAR- Appearance, Pulse, Grimace, Activity, and Respiration. They took the APGAR assessment right after the birth- which was why Desi only got to see the baby only for a second before they pulled him away. They then cleaned him up, poked his foot, and a whole manner of other things, before finally deciding that they could hand him back- now he looked soft and cuddly, swaddled in a little blanket with a light blue knitted hat on. Much, much better than when he'd just come out of her, truthfully.

"You've got a beautiful baby,"a nurse stated as she set the baby on Desi's stomach. Desi lifted her hand, then gently drew her fingers along the top of the baby's head. It was, as she expected, very soft.

"Thank you," Desi replied, smiling at the small baby. Then she looked up, her eyes searching for Sparrow who she assumed would be close. Meanwhile the other nurse was telling the one that had spoken to Desi that the baby's APGAR score was acceptable- that was to say, there were no immediate causes for alarm just yet.

"He's finally here, Sparrow,"Desi stated softly, her tone a bit sleepy. Obviously Sparrow knew, but in a way, it was just Desi letting her excitement show through.

{I'm sixty percent sure it's a boy. . . But I can change it if I'm mistaken. I need to document these things, dang it. Epic memory failure right there.
And, furthermore, I spent all day yesterday watching "I'm 16 and I'm Pregnant" because a girl in my school got pregnant and it's huuge news. So it kinda helped me pull the post together/figure out what I needed to say and what I didn't. But this was a harder post than I'm used to, I have to admit. Hopefully it's alright ^_^}

It all happened so fast. The labor was now sort of a blur... all Sparrow remembered what Desirae squeezing his hand at various times and a lot of people in white coats. To be honest, the entire experience sort of reminded him of being drunk. Lots of loud sounds and crazy motion. But then.. that nurse had come in with a beautiful little bundle and his heart seemed to skip a beat.

Desirae's voice broke the silence and eased him into calmness. The room was quiet now, all the nurses and doctors had left except for one who was slipping out the door just now. He finally is. Sparrow agreed. Des's arms cradling their child was so natural, Sparrow couldn't seem to picture the scene he was in any other way. Suddenly, the baby yawned its tiny mouth and cracked its eyes open to peer around. Sparrow startled.
He has my eyes, Des. Oh my... he has my eyes. Wow. What are we going to call him? He asked, still in shock as he came to the realization he and this tiny person were related.

(A boy works for me And I love that show!)

Desirae was not worried. Her ability didn't allow for her to be worried. She could cure whatever ailed the little boy, and she knew it. So Desirae gazed up at Sparrow contently, knowing things were going to work out. When Sparrow got excited over the eyes, she looked down at the baby with a soft smile, taking in the eyes as Sparrow indicated.

"Yes, he does,"She agreed. Sparrow's beautiful eyes. Desirae wouldn't have wanted it any other way, though she certainly hadn't expected it. As for the other question, she didn't have an immediate answer for that. She turned her gaze back to Sparrow.

"Sparrow. Remember the song you wrote for me? I like the name Skye, it reminds me of that. It's so cute,"Desirae answered.

"Would you like to hold him now?" Desirae would have gladly held him longer. But she felt she should at least ask Sparrow- it was his son, too. And besides, it was such an amazing feeling to know he was finally here.

{Since we know what the name is going to be, this topic is a zillion times easier to reply to <33}
