Jace groaned partly from pain, but mostly in frustration, it felt like it was taking forever he was tired and just wanted to get it out of him already. The pressure was returning as the baby pressed lower he wanted to push and get this over with. "How much longer?" It was a stupid question, one he already knew Jareth wouldn't really be able to answer but still, he found himself asking.

[bhdire8]

"Do you want me to tell you the truth ot a lie?" Jareth asked not shrugging. "I dont think either is a good thing. You didnt really have the mind to keep track on the time anyway right? So, let's just say it would be soon. Perhaps sooner than you expected." Jareth said ambiguously. He didnt need to divert from the question any further as a frustrated groan from Jace indicated another contraction was building up. "Keep breathing remember the hee hee hoo." Jareth pushed Jace's hips so he was swirling his bottom on the ground, shifting.his weight around to relief some prrssure.

[secretsparrow]

Jace groaned the longer the contraction continued the worse the pressure became. He focused on his breathing until the contraction let up once more. He wanted it out of him, at this point he just wanted it to be over his hips had started to hurt he could feel the child pressing down more each time a contraction took hold but Jareth was right even if he had given him a time Jace didn't have much concept of it at the moment.

[bhdire8]

This time Jace simply crashed down against Jareth. Jareth continued with his manipulation on shifting Jace's hips around. His belly had dropped so much he was quite sure at least one baby's lodged low in his pelvis. Jace's water had soaked through the mat underneath them, the darkened circle expanding in size gradually. He could feel Jace squirming in his arms, probably from the urge to push.

[secretsparrow]

Jace groaned rocking his hips in an effort to take off some of the pressure it helped but not by much. When the contraction ended he let out a long breath. The pains came quickly and it wasn't vary long before Jace was tensing again. "ugghh pressure, need to push" he mumbled trying to keep him self calm.

[bhdire8]

"Ok let me check you. You are doing great babe." Jareth said simply, not wasting any time in checking for his dilation. The canal had felt even warmer and wetter, Jareth easily slipped his finger in and gone in deep. Jace had past the 11cm mark, progressing towards 12. "Right Jace i think it's good to push now. Some pushing could encourage for that last bit of dilation now. Give me your hands, put them behind your thighs and push downward."

[secretsparrow]

He didn't have to be told twice as soon as Jareth said it was fine Jace began bearing down, it felt better to have something he could use against the pain instead of just going with it as he had been. he groaned loudly as he felt the baby move down a bit it was big, that was for sure. he could feel it as it moved threw him but at least he was pushing now.

[bhdire8]

Jareth focused on his opening but aside from it opening up slightly from Jace's pushing, he wasnt feeling any difference. Helping Jace spread his legs wider, he leaned forward so Jace would have an easier time bearing down. The contraction had lasted a whole 3 minute, and Jace had courageously pushed through it. "Let go now Jace, and take a deep breath. Good job baby!"

[secretsparrow]

Jace let out a breath as the contraction let up and he was able to relax, even if it was just for a moment. That last contraction had been hard and he knew that it wasn't about to get any better. After a minute a new pain overtook him and he began pushing groaning and crying out, the process might have been slow but he could still fell it as it moved down even if it was just slightly.

[bhdire8]

Jareth saw Jace started squirming again as he struggled to push. The babies were large, and Jace's water had been.flowing a bit faster than Jareth would feel comdrotable with. The whole area was soaked through with his fluid. Jace probably didnt noticr it but his belly had gone down quite a bit. Wirhout sufficient water, it would be especially difficult for thr second twin. Jareth could only hope for the best now and encourage Jace to continue with his pushing as the baby took painstakingly long to descend.

[secretsparrow]

Jace gasped forcing himself to breath between pains until next one gripped him and he was pushing again. Jareth would have been right he didn't really notice he was to concerned with simply trying to get the child out of him. He reached back to take Jareth's hand. He wanted something to hold onto, his whole body ached as the baby moved lower and he found himself crying out. he was just starting to feel a burning pain and he didn't like it in the slightest.

[bhdire8]

Jareth offered his arm observing Jace's desperate need. He let Jace do the work, closely monitoring his progress. The cry was desperate as the first sign of crowning appeared. Jareth held Jace as much as he could, the human's body trembling hard with the exertion. His mate was battlimg hard to push their child out, Jareth however could do so little. "Yes babe that's it. You feel the burning? It's the baby finally coming forward. The head's stretching you open. Do not be afraid of it, push through it." He said summoning a vial with soothing oil that the nurse had recommended. It could more or less numb the pain for a bit, but the instruction was to reserve it for when the pain got worse.

[secretsparrow]

Jace groaned his body was shaking he was tired but there wasn't really time to rest and he had to get the baby out. Crying out he pushed again trying to move threw the burning. It was horrible but he was glad he had Jareth with him if nothing else. When the pains would peek he gripped tightly to Jareth clinging to him as he worked to expel the child from his body.

[bhdire8]

Jareth was a little lost now, finding himself unable to determine if the burning had indeed peeked. His fingertips could feel Jace's opening bulging out, the head of the baby just underneath. With each push from Jace, it would bulge even more, yet the lips wouldnt give yet, and the baby would go back in jace everytime. The progress wasnt quick, but it was there. Jareth shifted so Jace's legs were spread even wider as the human pushed again.

[secretsparrow]

He knew he wasn't making a lot of progress, it was happing slowly, the next pain overtook him and he pushed as hard as he could. This was the strongest contraction he had dealt with so far and it didn't really let up at all. The burning became intense and he screamed, He knew he was making progress but it was slow and he wanted it out of him now. Jace held onto Jareth tightly he was shaking with effort but relaxed just slightly when the contraction finnaly ended.

[bhdire8]

The baby was pushing against Jace's lips, making it bulge like a rugby, yet the skin still didn't give. Jareth heard the agonizing scream and decided this should be the moment. He dribbled the oil onto the angrily stretched opening of Jace just before the last contraction ended, and made use of the precious few moments before a fresh one hit to spread it as tenderly as he could. Jace still jerked hard when his finger touched on the burning skin, perhaps half from shock and half from the pain.

[secretsparrow]

He felt the burn letting up a bit, or at least he thought it was until he felt himself being stretched by Jareth. Still, it wasn't as bad and seemed to let up for a moment. He was able to pull his focus back on pushing the burning was still there but it had been lessened quiet a bit. Anther contraction gripped him and he pushed as hard as he could. groaning loudly as he did so.

[bhdire8]

With thr pain numbed, Jace seemed to be even bolder in pushing. The baby came all the way out until the bottleneck as before, but Jace mamaged to get it bit by bit outtrr than before. The skin was stretched so tight it was almost paperthin now. It was just a matter of time before the head could make its way out, but before the breakthrough was reached, the contraction waned again and the baby started moving backwards despite the hardest effort from Jace to hold it in position. "It's alright Jace. Just breath now. Would be bettrr to save the energy in time for thr contraction." Jareth consoled even though he wasnt without his disapppointment.

[secretsparrow]

Jace shifted slightly, he hated this but he knew Jareth was trying to help so he steadied himself and tried to remember to continue breathing He whimpered as he felt the head move back erasing his effort. The next contraction didn't come for a moment but when it did Jace felt it crash into him hard his whole body tensed and he began pushing again. She could feel the head stretching him like it had before he focused on getting it out but even with the medicine it still hurt the burning was still there

[bhdire8]

Jareth tightened his grip on Jace hearing.his frustrated whimper. Jace's thighs were twitching slightly with the pain and pressure when he resumed pushing, and the process was like a deja vu from before. Jace was so close to succeeding but the conrraction had to let up when it had come out to the point of breaking out. Jareth sighed as well when the head once again started slipping back into Jace. It took a lot of patience and clearly both had very little left at this point. It was at the 5th attemp that finally, it looked like the head's getting.through.
