the pain has
gone to her head, brother? She’s gone mad.” Lukin walked over before crouching in front of her. He reached out and pushed hair
away from her face. “Do you want something to ease the pain, Minka ?”
She shook her head and closed her eyes as another
contraction moved through her. “I’m okay. I can do this without anything.” She
prayed she could at least.
“I hope Brawn comes back before you have the baby,
because he will be pissed if he misses it,” Thorque said and leaned in to kiss her on the crown of the head. He stood and walked
over to the entrance of the cave. Brawn had left early this morning to gather
some food, but he had been gone nearly half the day already and she knew she
would have this baby soon.
“He’ll be here,” Lukin said and kept his focus on her. “Come on, let’s get to
the sleeping chamber.” Lukin helped her stand, and as
they made their way toward the room she stopped and clutched at her stomach.
“Oh God.” She looked down, saw the clear fluid dripping on the floor, and looked at Lukin and Thorque . “The baby is
coming really, really soon.” She may not have ever had a child before, but she
had seen enough watching the few women in the camps she had been living with to
know that once the water broke the baby would be making an appearance soon.
In seconds flat, she was in the room the four of
them shared. The worry that came from Thorque and Lukin was so tangible that it seeped into her and made this
situation even more uncomfortable. Thorque prepared
the bed by placing clean material on it, and Lukin helped her onto it. Sweat covered her forehead, and with each passing
contraction they grew stronger and closer together.
“Where the fuck is Brawn?” Lukin seemed to mutter to himself.
For the next several moments she focused on
breathing through her mouth and exhaling through her nose. “I have to push.”
She closed her eyes and rested her head on the bed. She wanted all three of her
men here to experience this with her. Breathing out slowly, she opened her
eyes, and as if she’d conjured Brawn with her thoughts and needs he rushed into
the bedroom.
“It’s time,” he stated, and glanced around. “I could
sense it when I got close to the cave, and then once I was inside it was like
something pulled me forward.”
She didn’t know what he was talking about, but
assumed it was something that only a Hades male felt with their superior
senses. Blood covered him, and his hands and chest dripped with the red and
black stuff. He took a step forward.
“Stay back, Brawn. You’re filthy,” Thorque growled out and went to stand at the end of the bed
between her thighs.
Brawn stopped, looked down at himself to see all the
blood, and then growled out as if he were frustrated.
Thorque pushed her shift up, and another powerful contraction went through her. On
instinct she pushed. With every contraction she did this until she was
exhausted and barely able to control her breathing.
“That’s it, Minka ,” Thorque said softly.
“You’re doing so well.” Lukin ran a rag over her forehead.
The excitement in the room was a living entity, and
she actually felt it more strongly than the pain that moved through her right
now. She glanced at the entryway, expecting to see Brawn, but there was only
empty space. Another contraction slammed into her, and she closed her eyes and
tightened her hold on the sheets beneath her. Thorque ran some gel between her thighs, and she knew it would aid in stretching her
and allowing the baby to pass through easily.
“Almost there, baby,” Thorque said, and when the discomfort passed she saw Brawn standing at the end of the
bed, behind Thorque , and looking scared and
vulnerable. The blood and gore were cleaned off of him, and when she reached
out for him he was by her side seconds later. With Lukin on one side holding her hand and placing a rag on her head, Brawn on the other
side whispering encouraging words to her, and
