Month 9 Week 4
Lucy, Levy, Juvia, Mira, Gajeel, Natsu, Erza, Jellal, Gray and Wendy all arrived at the hospital when they found out that Cana was being admitted into the hospital. "Does Gildarts know?" Lucy asked, everybody shook their heads, nobody truly knew. In thirty minutes, Bacchus was rolling Cana out of the closed maternity ward. Cana's cheeks were red.
"Cana did you have the baby?" Natsu asked as he looked at her. Lucy gave him a slap on the head. Natsu raised his hand and scratched it.
"Why did you do that for?"
"Look at her you idiot she's still pregnant!" Lucy crossed her arms angrily at him then turned her head to look at her.
"False alarm guys- my doctor says I am hardly a centimeter dilated." Cana said, her cheeks stayed the color that they were. She looked down and took Bacchus's hand, and he helped her stand up.
"When are you going to have the girl?" Erza asked, she held onto Jellal's hand. Cana shrugged her shoulders and sighed once again.
"She said it could be up to a week." Bacchus said, taking the female's hand gracefully. "So we're going to head home and labor just the way Cana wanted." Cana smiled; her bangs fell in front of her face. Cana's friends surrounded her and hugged her, wishing her luck as they all turned to leave.
"That was embarrassing." Cana said as she waddled out of the hospital, Bacchus placed his jacket over her shoulders once again and held her hand.
"You heard the Dr. Amaya doll, many first time mothers come in one or two more times than they are supposed too." Bacchus reassured her, it was only 11:30 at night, Cana was extremely tired and irritable.
"WHY DOES IT HAVE TO BE ME!?" She yelled, she let go of Bacchus's hand. She seemed annoyed, very annoyed. "You need to come out!" Cana yelled at her abdomen. Bacchus took her hand and guided her towards the house. "Come out! Come out!" Bacchus opened their house door and helped Cana inside. Gildarts was not home, thank god.
"C'mon let's get upstairs honey. You should really sleep." Bacchus said as he helped her upstairs. He pulled the covers off the bed and when Cana sat down, he pulled them back over her.
"I hate you." Cana muttered, she stuck her body pillow in between her legs. Bacchus took off his shirt and wrapped his arms around her. Within a moment, Cana grasped his hand; she started to squeeze it like she was hurting or something. "Owww."
"Breath threw it Cana." Bacchus said, Cana groaned and squeezed his hand. It'll be a long night.
It was around 8:30 that night when she felt the first strong contraction. She had to stop folding the laundry and she let out a faint groan. Bacchus was finishing unloading the dishwasher when it happened. Cana had to sit down on the bed- she felt weak. Her purple eyes widened, and she kept her hand on her back. Bacchus walked up the stairs and saw Cana. "Cana are you okay?" Cana glared at him, wrong question to ask a laboring mom.
"Does it look like I'm okay?" Cana yelled, Bacchus gulped. Nope she was not okay. He went into their closet and pulled out a yoga ball. When the contraction ended, Cana got up and changed into a sports bra and a looser pair of pants. They both could hear the door open and close. Cana planted her feet on the ground, and sat down on the birthing ball. Bacchus sat behind her, massaging her back as she contracted, which was every five minutes. Gildarts opened the slider door.
"I HEARD MY DAUGHTER WAS IN LABOR!" He yelled, Cana grabbed the closest thing to her and threw it at him, which happened to be a pillow. She was in the middle of a contraction and didn't want her father here.
"DAD! GET OUT!" She hardly yelled; she was clutching on the comforter as she was trying to labor peacefully. She picked up a book that was on the nightstand, chucked it at him and it hit him in the abdomen.
"What does my daughter want?" He looked at the brunette. Bacchus stood up and walked towards Gildarts.
"C'mon Gildarts, you heard her." Cana groaned; the contraction was strong. Bacchus turned his head worriedly and Gildarts seemed nervous.
"But it's my grandkid." He stammered as he stepped out of the door. Bacchus nodded his head and sighed.
"Yes but Cana wants some privacy." He closed the slider door. Cana looked pale as a ghost when he walked in. "I'm sorry Gildarts."
"My water broke." She said; Bacchus saw the liquid on the ball and on the floor along with her grey sweatpants. Bacchus froze, as it looked like some sort of frenzy was going on in his head. Cana stared at him in disbelief, "What are you just standing there for?" Cana got up off of the ball; with every step she felt like she kept she was having an accident. Bacchus ran around the house, grabbing the stroller, the bags while Cana changed upstairs. "Bacchus!" She called, she was in pain and it really hurt. He ran upstairs and he went to soothe the female.
"Alright, lets go." Bacchus said, he supported his wife and walked towards the hospital.
At the hospital, was the true test for the couple; Cana was hurting, more than ever. Her contractions were equal, and equally spread apart. Cana clutched onto Bacchus's hand, and squeezed tightly. "I want this thing out!" Cana yelled, Bacchus bit his lower lip in agony. It was only eleven o'clock at night. "Where are the drugs?" Cana barked, a doctor walked in and checked the female. The nurse was a pink haired female wearing dark pink scrubs. She looked too happy. "Why do you look so happy, pinky?"
"You are progressing very fast." Dr. Amaya said, Cana groaned and she flumped back her head on the pillow. Cana was wearing a blue, patterned hospital gown, her hair was braided. The nurse couldn't help but smile.
"It's just who I am!" The nurse said with a smile. Bacchus sighed as Cana clutched his hand once again. It was obvious that she was in some very bad pain. "Let's get you walking, Ms. Alberona." The nurse, whose name was Hailey, helped the laboring female up. Bacchus stood up with her, Cana had her hand on her portable IV and she put the robe on over her. She shot a glare at the cheery nurse and walked around the half. Every so often, Cana would stop and groan, Bacchus would try to relieve the pain through pressure but it wasn't working.
"Why is everything so cheerful in this damn place?" Cana's filter was definitively turned off. Bacchus supported her through every step and his hand was tightly grasped in her own.
"Cana just relax. You're doing amazing." Bacchus said as they rounded the corner and went back into the room. Cana was contracting every three minutes and just wanted to lay down. "Ice chip?" Cana nodded her head and Bacchus placed an ice chip in her mouth, she was also sweating and breathing hard. Four hours passed and Cana woke up, she felt the need to push.
"Bacchus? Can you get Dr. Amaya? I feel the need to push." Bacchus quickly got up, and went to get the doctor. The brunette doctor walked in, she was wearing a set of pink scrubs, like the nurse was. Cana had her legs propped up and the doctor checked her.
"I need a baby warmer." Dr. Amaya said as Bacchus stood next to her. Hand in hand, he leaned down to kiss her forehead. Nurses came in with a baby warmer and many other different supplies. Bacchus placed a cold face cloth on Cana's head. After an hour, there was a new little fairy brought into the world, screaming with life. A little brown haired baby was placed on Cana's abdomen. "Congratulations! It's a girl!" Cana started to clean the baby off, tears falling from her eyes. Bacchus held his left hand; he swore Cana had sprained it.
"Bacchus! Isn't she beautiful?" Cana said, she clearly forgot what had just happened. The pain, the swearing, the calling everyone rotten names; Bacchus couldn't help but smile either, as his baby was adorable.
"She is adorable. Little baby Sangria." Cana had tears falling down her cheek and she shook her head, Bacchus noted the soft movement. "What's wrong?"
"That's not her name." She said, crying as the nurse took her away to the baby warmer. "Where are you taking her?"
"We're only going to do a baby's first check up." The pink haired nurse said, Cana wiped her forehead off and sat up, after Dr. Amaya finished Cana's own check up.
"Bacchus-" The male nodded his head and went to keep an eye on the baby. Cana pushed the button for the bed to go up. She looked over at the clock that was blinking, 4:34 in the morning. She looked exhausted, and then her eyes wondered towards her fiancé and child. Once the child was checked up and in Cana's arm, Bacchus went downstairs to get his hand checked out, Cana did, in fact, sprain it. She was in the middle of nursing the infant as someone knocked on her door. "Come in." Cana said, it was only six in the morning. Her father walked in, and thankfully, Cana had a nursing blanket on. She was a professional- without even knowing it.
"Cana- I have not heard from you-" He stopped when he saw the purple blanket that was slung over her chest. Gildarts smiled and tears welt up in his own eyes. "Is that-" Cana smiled, she was so tired, but she needed to stay awake.
"Your granddaughter?" Cana said tiredly, the baby finished nursing, and Cana took her from underneath the blanket. The baby opened her red eyes and cooed softly, Cana lifted her up to her shoulder and burped her. Gildarts was crying, as he sat down on the side of the bed. Bacchus had arrived shortly after.
"What's her name?"
"We're still thinking about that." Bacchus said; he wore a brace on his hand. Gildarts laughed when he saw that.
"Did my daughter crush your hand?" Bacchus nodded his hand as he sat next to Cana, looking at his brown haired and red eyes daughter.
"Yeah she did." Cana looked up at him and her cheeks turned red.
"I'm sorry about that-"
"It isn't a big deal- we just need to come up with a name." Bacchus said, Cana smiled and nodded her head. "How about Olivia?"
"No- it isn't her name." Cana said, she held the baby in her arms, smiling brightly. "What about Sophia?" Bacchus looked at his daughter, who was swaddled in purple cloth and shook his head. Bacchus reached down and picked her up out of Cana's arms. Gildarts watched every move he was doing.
"It isn't her name."
"What about Aria?" Gildarts asked, Cana's purple eyes sparked and so did Bacchus's.
"Aria- Aria Jade Groh." Cana said, as Bacchus smiled, Jade was his deceased mothers name. He kissed his daughters head and smiled.
"Welcome to the world, Aria Jade Groh."
A/N So- how do you like it? I wanted to have Cana go through a complication but then I was like naaaaah I love her too much.
I seriously hate how Baccana isn't more popular. Like Gajeel and Levy used to be a side character and now they are a main character. Why can't Cana and Bacchus be more popular?
