CARINA'S BIRTH

I sit watching my mate as Skulker practices hunting on his island when it hit me making me double over in pain a yell being ripped from my throat. That made my mate run up to me

"Lizzy, what's wrong?!" he asks

"Baby." I gasp and he picks me up flying to a natural ghost portal heading straight to my father's mansion. Skulker and my father had agreed that my baby would be born in the mortal world and at my home. Skulker doesn't even stop just fazes through the door and straight to the room that was prepared for this. My father was surprised to find the two of us in the room, but quickly calls for a doctor. The doctor was a woman, something we all agreed on since none of us wanted a man doing this, and I was thankful she appeared prepared. She ushers Dad out since the triplets started crying and Henry was currently out. By now I was basically crushing my mate's hand and groaning in pain

"Push when I tell you too Ms. Masters." The doctor says and I nod

I was bouncing my son Ashton on my hip as I paced in front of the door listening to my child scream in pain. My top worry was that she would end up like her mother, who died during childbirth. The doctors had said it probably wouldn't happen, but I couldn't help but worry. Fifteen minutes in Henry, aka Ghost Writer gets home and he looked confused as to why I was pacing until Elizabeth screams again

"Our granddaughter decided she wanted out." I explain and he nods looking at the door. He takes Ashton from me and puts the two year old in his room with his sisters before returning. Henry sits down in a chair that had been placed in the hallway. We sat there for about an hour before we were allowed in. My little princess was holding her own little princess in her arms making me smile

"Here Dad, why don't you hold her?" Elizabeth says handing my granddaughter to me. Looking at the newborn the first thing I notice is the way her raven hair's curls made her hair look like a black fire then I notice her bright blue eyes. She looks up at me and smiles making me smile

"She's as beautiful as her mother. Have you decided on a name yet?" I ask and they nod

"Carina Sarah Masters." Skulker answers and I nod

"Carina…beloved….it fits her." I hand her back to her mother

"Dad, can Ashton, Michelle, and Faith meet their niece? Dani too?" my daughter asks and I nod leaving to retrieve my other children. Dani sits on the edge of the bed holding Carina with mine and Henry's two year old triplets surround her staring at Carina in awe. They haven't seen a baby before and Skulker was freaking out. I chuckle softly to myself knowing the feeling, but I didn't have my wife to help me through raising my child. I lay my hand on his shoulder smiling at him

"Don't worry Skulker. You'll do fine." I say and he nods smiling softly as he looks at Elizabeth and Carina.

"Thanks Vlad." He says and I just pat his shoulder. We may be a strange family, but we are a perfect family.
