** Thomas' POV **
I yawn as I crawl into bed. Today was tiring... Being a future father was harder than I thought... ^_^; (first time writing that sentence in my life btw🥺) I look over at Flameguy. He's sleeping already..! Peacefully, surprisingly. I give him a gentle kiss on the forehead, and fall asleep...
** Flameguy's POV **
(this is where i question my life choices👅)
I woke up in a jolt. It was around 2 AM, I believe. That happens a lot... This time though, I feel and excruciating pain in my pelvis... it's unbearable! I look down.
Water. (GOODBYEEE)
My eyes widen as I aggressively shake Thomas awake.
"THOMAS!!!" I scream at him.
"Wha..???" He wakes up.
"I'M GOING INTO LABOR" (someone kill me/silly) He immediately gets up and runs me outside. He can't drive...
"...I'll drive." I say as I hop in the drivers seat.
"B-but-"
"DO YOU WANT US TO DIE, THOMAS?!"
"..." He sits in the passenger. I turn on the car as fast as I can and hit the gas. I felt like I was an F1 driver. It helped me relax, actually. The nearest hospital is a 10 minute drive, at this pace at least. We reach a red traffic light. It seems like the more I stare at it, the longer it takes for it to turn green. I decide to take a detour and turn right. The pain hits again. My vision blurs slightly due to it. I can still see, thankfully. Thanks to the detour, we reached the hospital in under 6-7 minutes. We rush inside. After what it seemed like forever, we finally got a doctor. She looked familiar, though... She leads me to a room, and motions Thomas to stay outside.
** Thomas' POV **
I'm... extremely nervous...@_@ Pacing around the door is NOT helping whatsoever..!! I decide to go outside... Maybe the midnight breeze will calm me. I step out into the dead of night and take deep breaths.
"He'll be fine, Thomas..." I say to myself repeatedly. Eventually I did calm down, enough to head back inside. I sat down on one of the chairs in the waiting room. Not long after, the doctor walks over to me.
"You can see your child now." She says with a gentle smile.
** Flameguy's POV **
GOD... I'm so glad that was over. I sat up and looked at my surroundings. Did I really just do that..?! I look at the child. It was a girl. Thomas rushes in. I smile tiredly at him.
"The doctors have her right now," I said.
"Ah..."
"You know, you're lucky you weren't in this room 8 minutes ago." I joke. It was true though. Experiencing that must be a nightmare...
"Haha...yeah." He replies, nervous. Therre was some silence for a couple of minutes. I broke it.
"Is it just me, or does that doctor look familiar..?"
"Hm, I do see what you mean.." Thomas says. Coincidentally, the doctor walks in, and takes off her mask.
"Here's your child!" Frosty chimes, baby in her hands. FROSTY?! I look at Thomas. He looks like he had just seen a ghost. Trying not to react, I grab the baby. I look at her. I hold her up so it looks like she and Thomas were next to each other. I frown.
"Nine months of suffering, and she makes that stupid ^_^ face like you do." I look at Thomas. HE'S MAKING THE FACE! I roll my eyes and giggle. I stare at the baby. My eyes were watery. I still haven't thought of a name yet...
"Well," Frosty starts. "Have you thought of a name for her yet?"
"Ah...not yet."
"Oh! I have one!" Thomas exclaims. "How about Serenity? I found it in a random book, and I find it pretty!" (psst my original story has that in the title go check it out)
"That's a beautiful name..." I say.
"Well then, it's official!" Frosty cheerfully says.
"Welcome to the world, Serenity!"
