Chapter Twelve

Jasmine stood on the balcony admiring the view, this has become the only means for her to escape her worries and depression for seventh months. Her eyes travel to the green plants ahead and the colorful flowers that surround them, she closed her eyes and inhales the sweet scent. She had stayed away from the city for seventh months so that she would give her child the protection she needed.

She would never allow Logan to find out about the baby, this was her child, her blood and her child must live among humans and not a monster like the father. She opened back her eyes with unshed tears, she had to be strong even if it was because of the baby she was going to have soon. This baby has become the only source of hope for her to live, the event that happened on the April 8 has always hunted her sleep sometimes the pain seems to never go away and she has just wanted to end it but always stopped when she remembers the child in her stomach.

Serena had sometimes come by to visit and had made sure that the nursemaid was doing her job but it had been quite some time now since she had seen her and understood that she couldn't make it sometimes because here was far from the city, she had chosen the outskirt of the town and she thought this place was the best for her child.

"Mam, aren't you tired of standing, you've been standing here for some time now" Jasmine turned to stare at the face of the worried nursemaid. "I'm fine you don't need to worry, She turned back to the view again "I just needed some fresh air," she said, after some few minutes of watching the flowers, she felt her child movement and smiled placing her hand on her stomach, she used to the baby moving around. And sometimes in the month, it used to grow down intense that she would think she wouldn't survive it.

The nursemaid had always said she had never seen anything like it when her child start to move, sometimes it feels as if her stomach was going to be torn apart, and sometimes only the side of her tummy would seem to move and rumbled, she would see the intense movement and the nursemaid would try to apply oil to her stomach, it just seems as if the baby is angry sometimes, fighting her way through or something.... showing the sign that it wasn't comfortable maybe...

Some nights have been worse when she'll cry in pain for the baby to stop moving and Rita would do anything in her power to stop the pain but some months weren't always this way and that would be her happiest month and now her only joy was that soon enough she was going to bring it out to the world and the unbearable pain she used to experience would be no more.

The baby moved again, slowly and Jasmine just rubbed her tummy it wasn't the crazy move that was coming, this time, it wasn't as gentle as the first and second movement. She felt intense pain on her thigh but it stopped after a while, she dragged her hair through her hair and decided to go in for a rest. But stopped midway when the movement came back again, she swallowed and waited till the pain subside.

"Are you okay Mam? Rita asked looking worried "I'm fine, just the usual pain" Jasmine replied and made her way straight to her bedroom, all she needed now was rest but just as she was trying bro climb into the bed, she felt better sharp piercing pain in her thigh. This wasn't the normal pain she had felt when the baby tries to move but...she still has two months to expect the baby is why this usual intense pain. She inhale harder and lay down on the bed after some unbearable minutes, she felt her inner thigh getting swollen.

"Rita! She called out and waited for her to rush in "I'm in pain" she cried out, she had thought that she wouldn't be able to bear the pain but this wasn't the normal child moves on getting tummy, it feels as if something was pressing down in getting thigh and it was getting swollen in every passing second, just as she was about to sit up here water broke.

Jasmine stares down at getting legs and then up at the nurse. "You're in labor, she informed but it wasn't up to nine months, this was still the seventh month. "I think the baby is coming earlier than expected "I'm I going to die? she asked in a panic. " No, you don't have to worry, just keep taking a deep breath I'll be right back, she zoom off from the room and Jasmine tried to inhale and exhale, just as she was told but the mirror she tried, the more the pain in her thigh becomes intense.

And now she felt better pressure between her legs and increases her breathing. "In and out, in and out" she scream in pain trying to endure but this has passed the enduring stage, she felt as if she was going to rift open because the child inside her was fighting her way outside, she screamed and held the end of the bed and tried as to take to keep on breathing because she was already feeling suffocated from the pain.

Rita came back already with the necessary equipment "Just keep on breathing, and lay on back, she stuck her hand inside her. "Just tried to keep up with the breathing and we still have a few more minutes you wait before you can try pushing it out" "Just take it out from me, just do it! Jasmine screamed from the pain feeling her thigh getting swollen and the pain kept getting intense...
