It was a long night. Ariana had kept refilling trays of ice cubes and breaking them so that Mrs. Dabney had something to hydrate herself with while giving her the sensation of chewing food. True to her prediction Mr. Dabney arrived a little after midninight and felt the blood rush to his head when he heard Mrs. Dabney"s cries. He rushed into their bedroom, kicking down the door in the heat of the moment and then practically fainted when he caught sight of them. Mrs. Dabney was laying on their bedroom reclining chair that they bough specifically to have her use when it was feeding time."Honey?" Mr. Dabney called out. Mrs. Dabney raised her head slightly, seeing Mr. Dabney"s face was a huge relief to both women. He wasn"t going to miss the moment of his newborn"s birth but it had already been 5 hours since the labour pains started. Soon the relief turned into anger as Mrs. Dabney caught sight of the bedroom door. It was now hanging on a hinge while Mr. Dabney blocked the entry way. Ariana couldn"t hold back her rage, Mr. Dabney was a mess. He was dirty from head to toe and barged into their makeshift delivery room.
Ariana and Mrs. Dabney had verbally a.s.sualted him to fix the door, leave then shower. The poor man retreated to the bathroom to shower. He had grabbed a spare set of clothes before he left, keeping his head down, avoiding another a.s.sualt of words from two very scary ladies. After he got out of the shower he walked into the kitchen, drying his hair with the towel as he walked. He then sniffed the air, his mouth started to water and quickly scanned the area. He spotted the tray that had his wife"s stuffed sweet potatoes. He grabbed the biggest one and started to eat the sweet potatoes with vigour.
He grabbed the tray and walked into the living room. He spotted a school bag on the ground and started to tidy up after he placed the tray on the coffe table. He spotted a blook, hard cover book that hadd feathers, vines and flowers painted all over it. He opened the book and started to read it"s contents. He sat down and found that the material was easy to read and understand. To his surprise he had read everything and ate all six potatoes while he was in a trance. He looked at the empty tray and gulped. His wife was going to kill him. He quickly put the book down and rushed to the fridge. He yanked the door open and started scavanging. He found containers of food and grabbed one gingerly. He raised his head then looked back towards the bedroom and felt another wave of guilt hit him.
With a heavy sigh Mr. Dabney put the container away and walked silently towards the bedroom door. He knocked and heard nothing. With a big breath in, he slowly turned the k.n.o.b and cracked the door open. "My love do you need me for anything?" He called out, too afraid to to open the door anymore then a crack. "Ahhhh! What is the time now?" Mrs. Dabney said with a strained voice as sweat rolled down her face. "A minute 5 now. Should I check how far you"ve dilated?" Ariana asked as she held Mrs. Dabney"s hand. "Yes." Mrs. Dabney heaved, trying her best to breath in between contractions. Ariana saw how hard she was breathing and decided to give her some water before she moved. After a greedy gulp, Mrs. Dabney regained some composure. "Do it now and let me know the siz-ahhhhs." Mrs. Dabney groaned as she squeezed Ariana"s hand. Ariana gritted her teeth and waited for Mrs. Dabney to release her grip before she moved to the birth ca.n.a.l.
"My love?" Mrs. Dabney called out again. "What the f*ck do you want?! Can you not tell that I am busy?!" Mrs. Dabney shouted in hysteria. Mr. Dabney opened the door a bit more and saw his wife sweating profusely as laid on their recliner, her legs were wide open and propped up. The sweat caused her hair to stick to her face, her cheeks were flushed and she looked positively furious. Mr. Dabney couldn"t helped but flush a deep red and slightly averted his gaze. He felt like a huge pervert, he found that his wife looked too beautiful for words and suddenly became shy. "I-I-I-I, I just wanted to know if it"s okay for me to go out?" He asked with a super sweet voice that it caused Ariana to fumble with the measuring device.
"I don"t care!" Mrs. Dabney hissed as another contraction hit her. "I just wanted to make sure." Mr. Dabney replied. "FINE! DO WHAT YOU WANT!" Mrs. Dabney shouted when suddenly her water broke. Ariana fell back in surprise and turned to Mr. Dabney. Her face was pale as her lips trembled. "Mr. Dabney, go wash your hands! Your baby is coming soon!" Ariana shouted as she tried to get up. Her school uniform was partially drenched in amniotic fluid. Mr. Dabney rushed towards the bathroom and scrubbed himself clean. He came back just as his wife started to arch her back. "Mrs. Dabney please hold on!" Ariana screamed as she looked around the room. "What"s wrong?!" Mr. Dabney shouted as he entered the room. "She can"t breath! I need to pump air into her lungs now!" Ariana yelled as tears of fustration rolled down. "Got it!" Mr. Dabney yelled as he rushed to his wife and sealed her lips with his own.
He started to give her the breath of life, not once, nor twice but a few times. Ariana stumbled forward and went back to Mrs. Dabney"s birth ca.n.a.l. "Roselyn, if you can hear me I need you to push!" Ariana shouted with a shaky voice. With a loud groan Mrs. Dabney pushed with everything she had. A flood of relief washed over Mrs. Dabney as a load of pressure was released.
"HA HA HAHAHAHA HA! It"s a girl! Roselyn it"s a girl! I can"t believe it! She just came out with a whosh!" Ariana shouted as she held the Dabney"s newborn in her arms. Mr. Dabney unsealed his lips and looked over. "Thank you honey." Mrs. Dabney whispered as she looked up at her husband affectionatley. "Pascal, do you want to cut the umbilical cord?" Ariana asked as she slowly stood up. Mr. Dabney looked at his wife unsure of what to do. "Go on. I"m okay now." Mrs. Dabney coaxed. Mr. Dabney nodded his head and walked over. He spotted the pair of scissor and moved to cut the cord. A small splatter of blood hit the floor. Mr. Dabney paled at the sight.
"Don"t worry honey, that"s normal." Mrs. Dabney said as she slowly started to sit up from the recliner. "Wait! I haven"t pulled out the placenta yet! You need to lay down again." Ariana said as she held up a protesting hand. "Right, right." Mrs. Dabney said as she laid back down.
"Pascal sorry to bother you but can you clean up your daughter with that wash cloth. Be gentle and slow. I will take over after I get Roselyn cleaned up." Ariana said as calmly as she could as she held out the newborn. Mr. Dabney"s eyes rounded and he automatically reached out to hold his daughter. "Thank you. Oh! Mind her head.... The small basin and wash cloth are right there. You may have to use your familiar to heat up the water just a little. It can"t be too cold or hot just warm." Ariana instructed as she moved towards Mrs. Dabney.
Mr. Dabney moved slowly towards the basin and dipped his finger in. The water was just slightly cold and he stared at the basin as his daughter"s face started to twist in discomfort. He cautiously snapped his fingers and a small green flame appreared. His daughter was not happy that she was getting cold and started to cry. Mr. Dabney started to panic and wanted to ask for help. He turned around, baby craddled in one arm and his index finger lit in the other hand. "Just heat up the water." Mrs. Dabney instructed calmly as Ariana pulled out the placenta. Mr. Dabney nodded his head and turned back to the basin. He dipped his lit finger and started to stir. The flame stayed lit and was slowly heating up the water.
"I can take over." Ariana said as she walked up to Mr. Dabney. "What do I do then?" Mr. Dabney asked with a defeated tone. "Mmmh. Water is good now. Can you please bathe your wife? Once your done help her change into a nightgown and carry her to the bed." Ariana said as she gently took the newborn. "Okay." Mr. Dabney said as he walked over to his wife and gently lifted her up in a princess carry.
In no time the Dabney"s were now comfortably looking over their daughter"s face. She was swaddled in a thick cloth blanket and wearing a yellow knitted hat, that Mrs. Dabney had knitted ahead of time. Ariana showed Mr. Dabey how to put a diaper on his daughter and how to properly swaddle her. Mrs. Dabney beamed with pride at her work laying soundlessly in her arms. The Dabney"s looked over to Ariana and saw that she had pa.s.sed out on the recliner, with a cleaning cloth in hand. She had scrubbed the area clean so that Mrs. Dabney wouldn"t be stressed over the mess.
"She"s done so much for us Pascal." Mrs. Dabney whispered as she looked up at her husband with love and adoration. "You"re right... she"s not as bad as I first thought." Mr. Dabney admitted as he scratched his cheek. "So you"ve changed your mind?" Mrs. Dabney asked with a small smirk. "Yes and no... There is something that you don"t know about the girl." Mr. Dabney said with a bittersweet smile. "I know everything. She told me, everything. I know she"s just like me and that her birth mother is the Jewel eyed priestess." Mrs. Dabney said with a small sigh.
Mr. Dabney kept silent, smile firmly held in place but internally he was screaming as his heart punded like crazy when he heard what his wife just told him. "Don"t worry my mind has not changed. I am actually really happy. I can talk to someone about Earth and bounce ideas with." Mrs. Dabney whispered happily. Mr. Dabney"s smile waivered. He didn"t know. How could he know the truth. He swore to himself to protect his family no matter what and the girl sleeping soundly on their recliner was not going to be an acception.
"No matter what she will be our daughter"s G.o.dmother." Mr. Dabney said with a soft smile. "So what would you like to name your daughter?" Mrs. Dabney asked. She then looked back at the sleeping newborn"s face. It was tinier then what she expected. She was a little wrinkled and had the tiniest tuff of brown hair. "Let"s name her Aubrey." Mr. Dabney said, his smile firmly in place. Mrs. Dabney giggled, she knew that his smile would permanetly be glued on his face for the next few weeks. "Aubrey. I love it, we can call her Brie for short. Welcome to the world little Brie." Mrs. Dabney said with a light sigh.
"Honey...." Mr. Dabney called out awkwardly. Mrs. Dabney turned to Mr. Dabney in a happy daze. "I ate your dinner." Mr. Dabney admitted with a smiling face. "I"m sorry?" Mrs. Dabney asked with a matching smile but a vein appeared on her cheek showing that her anger was just boiling under the surface. "I ate everything." Mr. Dabney replied with an even brighter smile. "Huh." Mrs. Dabney said as her face suddenly darkened.
"That"s why I came to the door, I wanted to see if I could grab you some take out." Mr. Dabney said with pride. His skin was too thick, he actually thought he was being considerate to his wife but she didn"t see it that way. "You"re going to go get me a f*cking feast. I don"t want heated up leftovers either! I want soup, veggies like broccoli, spinach, a baked potato, fully loaded, brussel sprouts and fish, freshly caught." Mrs. Dabney shouted as she fummed, her eyes were deadly and her scowl was more like a hungry cat baring it"s fangs. Mr. Dabney quickly put his hand over his mouth to m.u.f.fle a small laugh. He then moved to pet his hungry cat. "Anything you want." He said gently as she stroked her head. Mrs. Dabney started to calm down as Mr. Dabney stroked happily. "Honey there is some other things I need you to do."
.....
Ariana woke up with a huge jump. "What time is it?!" She shouted as she looked around the room. "10 in the morning." Mrs. Dabney called out. Ariana turned to met her gaze and flushed. She then tried her best to hold her gaze but found it hard as Mrs. Dabney was breast feeding the newborn. "Where"s Mr. Dabney?" Ariana asked awkwardly. "You can"t revert back now after everything that happened." Mrs. Dabney said with a small laugh. "Sorry?" Ariana asked as her nerves started to calm down. "Last night you said our first names like it was the most natural thing in the world. Now you want to go back? It will not be the same as before. No way! You are stuck with us now, so go on. Call me Roselyn, we"re family now." Mrs. Dabney said with a bright smile.
Ariana turned a crimson red this time and her jaw slacked. She didn"t know what to do. She knew exactly what Mrs. Dabney meant as she had been avoiding answering the G.o.dmother question. Ariana cleared her voice and moved her jaw to a closed position but the moment she tried to talk she found that she was acting like a fish out of water. No sound was coing out, she could only flap her gums. Mrs. Dabney laughed hard enough for tears to spill. "I didn"t mean to shock you to this extent!" She said as she removed Brie from her breast.
"Mrs. Dab-eek! Alright! Don"t give me that scary face!" Ariana shouted as she put her hands up in defense. Mrs. Dabney had turned demon like when she started to her the word Mrs and it scared Ariana to her very core. "Roselyn, you know who I am. There is no way that I can accept a position like G.o.dmother. I mean, it might put your whole family in danger." Ariana said as bravely as she could. Mrs. Dabney"s gaze was still scary and her heart couldn"t take anymore shock.
"Don"t think too little of Pascal or me." Mrs. Dabney said firmly as she moved to burp her daughter. "I don"t have a choice in the matter do I?" Ariana asked in a defeated tone as she slumped on to the recliner. "Nope." Mrs. Dabney said with a happy tone. "Alright. You win. Well everyone, you might as well come out and meet my G.o.ddaughter." Ariana finished saying when the Lumas appeared.
Vasu was the first to move forward to look at the newborn. "Her name?" He asked as he turned his sparkling eyes to Ariana. "Roselyn, have you chosen a name yet?" Ariana asked as she internally groaned. It looked like Vasu had a soft spot for baby girls and she would have to visit often. "Aubrey but I"m calling her Brie for short." Mrs. Dabney announced with pride. "Like the cheese?" Ariana asked as she felt herself perk up just a little. "That"s right." Mrs. Dabney answered with a happy nod. Ariana looked at Mrs. Dabney with shock, she instantly laughed and hugged her abdomen. "A true foodie!" She laughed. "Of course." Mrs. Dabney answered as she snorted air.
"Sweetie, I had Pascal deliver your draft project to Professor Penon and then he went to go see the Headmaster. He hasn"t come back yet... I wish I had some news for you." Mrs. Dabney said sadly as she watched Ariana stop laughing. "You"ve done more than enough." Ariana replied as she stood up. "I guess I should go back to the door and get cleaned up." Ariana said as her face became shrouded in darkness. "Hun, you don"t have to go. Just shower here and take whatever outfit you like from my closet. If your in trouble I will just tell them I kept you here to help me take care of Brie. It can be seen as a sort of punishment." Mrs. Dabey said with a pitiful voice. Ariana knew that she meant well but the heavy feeling she had in her chest was not letting her stay. She wanted to try and see her family, even if she is stopped she wasn"t going to give up.
"Thank you but I really want to see my family... Can some of you stay with Roselyn and Brie? I don"t want to leave them alone. You can come back when Pascal comes back or stay. I will let you chose." Ariana said as she looked at her Lumas. "I will stay behind." Aroha said as she hoped over to Mrs. Dabney"s side. "Anyone else?" Ariana asked. "Davita stay with me and Aroha." Loralei asked as she jumped onto the bed. Davita gave a bitter look to Aroha then turned to Ariana. "I"m going with you." She said as she flew towards Ariana. "Okay." Ariana answered as she caught Davita"s face with one hand and pressed it against her cheek affectionately. Vasu rushed over and crashed against Ariana"s chest. "I"m going!" He shouted causing Ariana to giggle. "You sure Vasu? I mean Brie may need you more then me and now she"s going to be my G.o.ddaughter. I want her safe and sound."
Vasu peeked up from Ariana"s chest and pouted. "I want to stay but I"m worried." Vasu replied. Ariana picked up Vasu and laid a small kiss on his forehead. "Stay and take care of her. I won"t be alone." Ariana answered. Vasu slightly blushed as he slowly pulled away. He then floated towards Mrs. Dabney and Brie. While Rahul and Duko silently walked over to Ariana and sat by her feet. "Call me if you need me." Vasu said before he sat on Mr. Dabney"s pillow. "I promise to call you." Ariana said with a bittersweet smile. "Roselyn, I will leave you Aroha, Loralei and Vasu. I"ll be back later, if I am kicked out of the family day celebration." Ariana said before she turned around and walked out the bedroom door.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.
"Don"t worry Ariana, if those b.a.s.t.a.r.ds don"t let you see your family I will kidnap them and deliver them to you on a silver platter!" Rahul roared with a loud laugh. "Thank you Rahul but I don"t even know if they will show up." Ariana said in a melancholy tone. Her voice silenced the Lumas instantly. Ariana walked with a heavy heart towards the female dorms. Not knowing what would lay up a head.
