In case of baby...panic!

Cerdian walked up the stairs to Lian's apartment with the box of chocolate, running through a breathing exercise in his head. Today, he would tell Lian that he loved her and apologize for treating her so poorly. He would find out if she had it in her heart to forgive him and then the would figure out what that meant in regard to her life now. He would tell her that he wasn't marrying anyone and that he only wanted to be with her.

Upon arriving at Lian's door, Cerdian knocks three times and waits for her to answer.

Suddenly, he realizes he forgot the flowers.

Cerdian swears under his breath in Atlantean.

"Very well. You will need to trust me, Lian." he says, moving close to her and wrapping his arm around her. He reaches out with his power and teleports the two of them to Star City General Hospital.

"Help! I need a doctor! This woman is going into labor!" Cerdian yells in the lobby.

He hopes this works like it does on television.

	Lian just clung onto Cerdian when they arrived at Star City General. She gripped his arm. Hard. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	A doctor arrives with a wheelchair for Lian in short order. "Miss, just breathe and we'll make sure this all turns out okay." the doctor says. "Any contractions? How far apart are they?" he asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yeah...I think so," Lian said, sitting in the wheelchair, still holding onto Cerdian's hand. "I don't know...a couple minutes?" She turned to look at Cerdian. "Don't...don't leave me. Please." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Cerdian didn't think Lian would /want/ him here, but he won't argue. He'll hold her hand and nod affirmatively. "I won't leave you, Darts. Not until you tell me to go." he says, looking to the doctor. "I'm not the father of her children, but I'm staying with her. Will that be an issue?" Cerdian asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"All right, let's get you into a room and get you ready. Sir, if she says you're all right, we won't make an issue of it." the doctor says.

Over the next few minutes, Lian is wheeled into a room and helped into a bed, at which point the staff moves with professionalism and expediency, doing whatever they can to make her comfortable. Later, Cerdian would comment that it was almost as if they'd been expecting Lian to come in that day.

Fifteen minutes later, all is ready.

"All right, Lian. Go ahead and push for us." Doctor Hanson says.

	Lian pushed, screaming. She couldn't remember the last time she'd been in so much pain. She wanted it to be over. She wanted it all to stop and she couldn't stop it. She squeezed Cerdian's hand as hard as she could. "It hurts...it hurts so bad..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Lian, you can do this." Cerdian says. "You're the strongest woman I know and there is nothing you can't do when you put your mind to it. Your children have been waiting to meet you. I'm sure they'd love to see their mother. They love her." Cerdian tells Lian, leaning in closer to her.

The last hour didn't matter. All the hurtful things she'd said to him meant nothing right now. All he hoped for was that Lian would give birth safely and that the twins would be whole.

"They love her their mother the same way I love her. The way I always have." Cerdian whispers, letting her squeeze his hand.

"Yes, Lian, I do. I always have. I came by to tell you today and then we started fighting and...I've made mistakes. I've screwed up badly. But when I came back to life, the only person I wanted to be with was you." Cerdian tells her.

"I was afraid, though. I still am. I'm afraid I won't be enough for you in the end. I'm not...him. Or anyone else you've ever been with. I've never dated.

But I do love you and I want to be with you, if you'll forgive me." Cerdian says.

	violettidemage 2011-06-06 03:25 am UTC (link)
	"I love you, too, Lian. Now, I need you to do as the doctor says so we can meet the twins, all right?" he asks, kissing her forehead, then wiping it with a cool washcloth. "Can you do that?" he asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"The baby is crowning, Lian! I can see the head. Come on, just another strong push and we're halfway done!" the doctor says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yes....yes I can," Lian said, giving another strong push, squeezing Cerdian's hand as she just screamed. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"And...there we go! We've got the first one. It's a girl!" Doctor Hanson says, smiling brightly as he hands the baby to the the nurse, who begins washing her. "All right, Lian. One more time. Just do this one more time and we're finished." he says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"She's so pretty, Lian. Now, you can do this. Just do this one more time and you can rest. I'm going to find you the biggest bacon cheeseburger there is with all the bacon you want if you do this." Cerdian smiles, kissing her cheek. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Thirty minutes later, it's all over but the crying.

Literally.

Donna Rose Harper and Cerdian Alexander Harper apparently have the strongest lungs in the Star City nursery wing. They almost seem to be competing for who can cry the loudest.

Of course, once "Alex" is placed in Lian's arms, he quiets down and seems to relax.

Oddly, once Donna is placed in Cerdian's arms, she also seems to relax and stop crying.

"Gee...strong lungs. You two definitely take after your mother." Cerdian jokes, smiling down at Donna.

	Lian ran a finger along Alex's cheek. "They're perfect," Lian said, moving close to where Cerdian was sitting next to her on the bed so she could kiss Donna on the head. "So perfect." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Well, look who they came from." Cerdian grins. "Mommy is pretty awesome, isn't she Donna? What do you think, Alexander?" he asks. The twins both gurgle and fuss a bit. "I think they agree." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Lian smiled, looking at her babies. "Donna, Alex, this is Cerdian. He's pretty awesome, too." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"He tries to be, at the least. I was pretty crappy to your mother earlier and I hope she--and the two of you--will forgive me." Cerdian says. "I love your mother very much. Along with everything that is a part of her." he says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Lian looked over at him. "I do...if you'll forgive me, too." She smiled at him. "I love you too, Ceridan. So much." She kissed like she had kissed him the night before he died. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"All is forgiven." he says, leaning in to kiss her. Yes, this was where he belonged. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
