Birth
"You are the best thing I never planned"
~ 1 year, 3 months ago ~
{ Lucian }
"Just go, we'll be fine" Viv said, adjusting herself on the sofa
Whilst Katherine sat by her pouring tea
"I'll be back as soon as I can" I said, I was so pissed off
She could pop any day now.
I didn't want to be away in case her water broke
But some fucking idiot is making noise at one of the clubs
Now I have to go and deal with it.
"Take your time, I'm okay sugar I promise" she said, offering a sweet smile.
I kissed her on the forehead, before striding out of the house
I'm not in the mood for this shit.
{ Vivienne }
It's so... boring being pregnant
I can't do anything, I can't kill anyone
Me and sugar can't...
I can't barely even walk anymore, it's just a waddle now.
This baby really needs to get out of me, and stop pressing on my bladder
"Are you alright Viv?" Katherine asked
I groaned
"No, I'm fucking bored" I whined.
Just as my phone rang
"Hello?" I asked, if it's that idiot again, 'threatening' me. I've lost enough phones to their nagging threats.
"Vivienne?" I heard down the phone
I recognised that voice
"Cleo?" I said surprised
Why was she ringing me?
"Is Lucian around? I've tried ringing him, Cassian, his men... no ones answering" she explained.
"They're... busy, is something wrong?" I asked
"I landed in Russia two days ago, I'm supposed to receive my shipment today and there's no one here to unload it" she explained
"Surely your men are perfectly capable to unload some boxes?" I asked, shifting again in my seat.
"Yes, but I was told I wouldn't have to, so I didn't bring anyone with me, except the security of course" she said
"Of course" I said, rolling my eyes
"Fine, I'll um, I'll sort it, I'll get men down there soon" I said.
"Thank you, I can't wait around all day" she said nicely
"Yeah" I said simply, hanging up, before heaving myself up off the sofa.
I waddled into the foyer, grabbing my coat
"Where are you going?" Katherine asked
"Out. Don't! Tell Lucian" I said sternly, opening the garage door
"But-"
"No buts... I've got to sort something, I'll be fine and he'll only worry" I said.
She looked like she wanted to say something, but she stepped back and nodded once.
"I'll be back before he even knows it" I said
"He'll find out anyway" She said worried
"Yes. But it's better he finds out when I'm home and safe rather than when I'm still out and he overthinks it all" I said dismissively, disappearing into the garage.
It won't take long, I just have to get some men down there and oversee the shipment
"Easy... huh baby?" I asked, rubbing my stomach before I started the car.
~ Vivienne's Outfit ~
"Wait!" I looked up, and saw Katherine running through the garage with her coat on, before she opened my door
"What?" I asked
"You shouldn't be driving in your state, if you're adamant to go then I'm driving you" she said determined.
I looked at her for a moment, before sighing
"You're lucky you're cute tesoro, anyone else said that to me and they'd be on the floor in their own blood right now" I grumbled, getting out.
Darling
She gulped slightly, before getting in hesitantly.
•
"I needed men, not a pregnant liability" Cleo joked, standing with us as we watched over the shipment
"I got you the men, someone had to come and oversee it" I said, crossing my arms
Katherine stood beside me, looking quite uncomfortable.
"She good? I wouldn't want to have to threaten the little yaqtin" she smirked
Pumpkin
"She's fine, you didn't see any of this did you Katherine?" I asked, she shook her head quickly
"Good" I nodded.
"So... hows everything?" Cleo asked
"It's great, I'm due next week" I said, she nodded slowly
"And how's Cassian?" She asked casually, I smiled at her
"Why don't you call him up? Ask him?" I suggested.
"Now why would I do that?" She asked
"Why not?" I asked back, she ignored me, before abruptly shouting at the men
"afealha bishakl sahih 'aw tahrub , lasna huna lirieayat 'atfalik 'ayatuha al'umu alghabiat-" she shouted, but after a moment it all droned out, I couldn't here anything.
Do it right or fuck off, we're not here to babysit you, stupid mother fucking-"
I felt it. Then I looked down. And I saw it
Fuck!
"Cleo?" I called
"Are you okay?" Katherine asked worriedly
"Cleo!" I shouted
"What?" She turned around angrily, before her face dropped.
My water had broke.
I looked at her hesitantly, then at Katherine
"Ah fuck" I hissed, feeling the contraction rip through me
It was horrible.
"Oh my... we need to c-call an ambulance" Katherine said worriedly, fumbling for her phone
"Fuck that, call Lucian" I groaned
"You need... actual help Viv" she said panicked
"I need Lucian, he can't miss this... he can't!" I groaned, feeling another one shock through me.
The warehouse was by the docks.
"You can't call an ambulance" Cleo said sternly
"What?" Katherine asked
"Look around you... an ambulance comes here we're blown" I said, crouching down to sit on the floor.
Fuck this hurt. I didn't think childbirth was this bad
"Well then we need to get to the hospital!" Katherine said, sitting by my side
"We can't move her, she's already having contractions and she's the size of a whale!" Cleo said.
"Ah thanks" I rolled my eyes
"Just call him!" I groaned, she nodded frantically, standing up and ringing Lucian
Cleo knelt down beside me begrudgingly
I groaned again, grabbing her perfectly manicured hand and squeezing it.
"Fucking hell woman!" She shrieked
"Get Lucian!" I screamed.
{ Lucian }
"Lucian!... Boss!" I heard Cassian shouting
I stopped moving, catching my breath as I looked back at him
He was stood by the office door of the club
"Phone!" He called
"It can wait" I said, raising the bat again.
"It can't!" He said strongly
I sighed, dropping the bat, leaving the bloody body on the floor and going to the office.
"What?" I asked, appearing in the doorway
"Viv's gone into labour" he said quickly
"What?!" I asked, grabbing the phone off him.
"Where are you?" I asked down the phone
"Uh h-hi it's Katherine" she stuttered down the phone.
"Where the fuck are you?" I asked again
"Um... about that..."
"Lucian" Cassian chimed in.
"Katherine!" I snapped
"Lucian... they're at the warehouse by the docks" Cassian said.
{ Vivienne }
"They're fucking what!" I heard Lucian shout down the phone
I sighed
"Give me the phone... give me the fucki- Lucian baby, can you please get down here?" I groaned
"What are you doing down at th-"
"It's not important, just get down here!" I shouted, hanging up.
•
"I think you might need to start pushing" Katherine said, looking up at me
I was behind some shipment boxes, screaming in agony whilst a gang of Lucian and Cleo's men stood out there awkwardly waiting for a birth
"Then you need to push it back in" I screamed.
"Stop the melodramatics, it's coming out. So push" Cleo said, sitting beside me
"Fuck you" I breathed out, trying to control the pain
"Where the fuck is she?" I heard boom through the warehouse
"Back there" someone muttered.
I saw Lucian stride round the corner, and he was pissed...
"What the fuck are yo-"
"Yeah yeah... yell later, support now" I groaned, squeezing Cleo's hand again
"Good, you're here" she said, letting go of me and standing up, walking round me to stand by Cassian, catching a glimpse of Katherine's view.
"Oh my... fuck that's disgusting" she gagged
"You're not being very supportive right now" I accused, taking hold of Lucian's hand as he sat beside me
"Well you shouldn't be birthing that thing on my floor" she said.
"That thing is our baby" Lucian snapped angrily
"Just push alright... breathe" he encouraged
"Shut up" I snapped back
"What?" He asked
"This is all your fault" I groaned.
"I told you to stay at the house!" He argued
"I mean putting this thing in me in the first place!" I shouted, pushing as hard as I could.
"I- I can see the head" Katherine said
"Then pull it out" I screamed.
•
"He's perfect" Lucian smiled
"Yeah... he is" I smiled, looking down at the tiny bundle in my arms
He was gorgeous, with bright green eyes just like Lucian.
"Why did you come down here baby?" Lucian asked softly, stroking the hair out of my face
"I thought it'd be alright, I didn't know I was gonna pop this one out today did I?" I said, staring down at his cute little freckles.
He sighed, kissing the side of my head.
"You're in so much trouble baby" he mumbled, making me chuckle
"Don't you dare... I just gave birth, leave me alone" I grumbled.
"Besides... you're covered in blood, care to tell me about that?" I asked. He sighed
"Alright alright. Quits?" He asked, I nodded
We both just... stared at him. He was so perfect.
