Jace didn't like the silence and his eyes quickly went to Jareth. "Whats wrong?" He knew something was up but imiditily his mind went to the fact that something could be wrong with the baby "Jareth?" Anther contraction hit and he pushed giving a cry of pain. "H-hurts!" he gasped as the contraction ended.

[bhdire8]

"It's.... it's good babe. It's just the baby's coming out in not the most conventional way. It's fine. Everything's still going fine..... all you need is push hard, even harder." Jareth tried to explain without alarming the human too much. There really wasnt much that he could do now. All they could was let nature take its course, witb harder pushing from Jace. "It's ok babe I know, it would hurt even more than lazt time. Just stay strong and push, pant when you couldnt deal with it." Jareth drizzled whatever's left in the vial of oil to Jacw's opening, which was straining with an arm out already and the head pushing against the lips.

Jace pushed again he tried to push hard he just wanted it out, he had barely managed to get the last one out and yet this one was going to be worse. He could he made little progress he was tired having already delivered one child. He whimpered when he felt it move foreword only to move back with the end of the contraction and erase his progress. "Hurts.. t-to big.. I can't.."

[bhdire8]

"Babe you can do it. Pant through this, save that energy so you could regroup for the next one. Baby this is important. Our baby depends on you entirely. You will make it work." Jareth encouraged even though he was bsyond anxious now. As it dragged on, the fluid remaining in Jace would only diminish and it would only make the situation even worse. He felt around the belly and was quite sure everythinf was more or less right on track now. He continued to rub on Jace's perineum hopefully helping the skin stretch against rhe head.

[secretsparrow]

Jace groaned he didn't want to but he didn't have much of a choice either the next contraction took over and he pushed again trying to force it out of him, his whole body was tense as he struggled to move it. He could feel it stretching him and tried to push threw hit crying out and gripping tightly to Jareth when it became to much.

[bhdire8]

Jareth's heart once again clenched tight for his love. He couls only imagine how excruciating the pain was. He hugged Jace closer when his hands squeezed tight on his arms, hoping this could miraculously pass some energy to Jace as he pushed with a strangled yell. The baby was moving, but the awkward shape was causing an unbalanced stretch to Jace and it looked like the arm would tear Jace.

[secretsparrow]

"It burns!" He knew he was probably about to tear however, at the moment there was a part of him that didn't care. "Ahhhhhh!" he was contracting again and he pushed leaning into it. What Jace had felt and what Jareth thought might happen did. As the head pushed foreword Jace tore he stopped pushing letting out a cry of pain as he felt it. His back arched and he drew in breath quickly for the remainder of the contraction.

[bhdire8]

Jace looked horrible, his body almost going rigid as the iron taste of blood filled the room. The skin was torn badly, and Jareth's fangs grew upon thr first sniff of blood. He had to clench his fistss tight and close his eyes for a seocnd to reel in his desire, before having the mind to tend to Jace. He held Jace as much as he could, then pressed a clean cloth onto his wound to stop the bleeding. The breath drawn by Jace was staggered and difficult. Jareth ground him by speaking to him quick, breaking through the overwhelming.pain. "jace! Look at me, open your eyes and focus on me. This is the moment. Push no matter how painful it is, the baby needs to be out, now!" He said unable to predict the reCtion of the fetus towards the smell of blood.

[secretsparrow]

He couldn't comprehend why, it didn't really occur to him, it hurt he didn't want to anymore he wasn't sure he could but contractions came without pause and he pushed again giving a loud cry and arching his back he pushed as best he could. The pain wasn't any better he knew he had torn but he still had to get it out he could do nothing about it. the good news was the baby was progressing a bit faster then before sense it now had more room. but Jace was clearly exhausted even as he felt the other shoulder coming out of him he could only whimper and groan loudly.

[bhdire8]

The pushes of Jace now was weak and barely effective. Jareth held the head and tried to help Jace by pulling on it gently, but the baby was slippery and he wasnt able to have a firm hold on it. The baby's also fragile, so he dared not pull too hard as well. H was almost pleading now. "Push please Jace, just push. I really need you pushing..." he said looking at the baby stretching Jace, another fresh gush of blood coming.out from Jace's wound when the baby wriggled reacting to fresh blood.

[secretsparrow]

He was trying pushing as hard as he could manage given the strength he had left he wasn't even crying out anymore simply whimpering between contractions and trying to work with them to get the baby out. It was slow progress but still with Jareth pushing it was coming. As the child began to move he tensed it was large and already had a limited space moving, wasn't really doing anything to help.

[bhdire8]

Jareth could see teh 2nd shoulder almost coming, but at that last crucial second the contraction had to tide down and the baby slipped back. Jareth had no way else but to push on Jace's belly to help the baby out. "Please Jace... on the count to 3 we push together. Stay with me babe..." He said in a quiet voice as he waited for the next contraction to hit Jace, who's trembling with the pain. Jareth gathered Jace tighter in his arms, heating himself up to warm the human, as they pushed together in unison for the baby to break free.

[secretsparrow]

Jace pushed as hard as he could and with Jareth pressing down he felt the baby move. the second shoulder sliding out. He groaned loudly as he felt it but he was almost done and he knew it, just a bit longer it was almost out. It hurt his body was shaking he didn't even have the energy to cry out any more. He was in pain and tired, he just wanted it out.

[bhdire8]

Jareht felt it couldn't be delayed any longer, Jace was losing a lot of blood already. With a push on his belly that caused it to deform entirely, he yanked at the baby and he slipped out up to the waist. The thick toros was trapped in Jace and the furry of movement had once again triggered his tear. "Bite down on me if you need, but this is it. The baby's gonna born right this moment." With this as warning, Jareth put both hands on the half emerged baby and pulled. The baby slipped through with almost no water left in Jace, finally pulled free from Jace.

[secretsparrow]

Jace didn't like the sound of that but he had no time to question it in moments he felt Jareth pulling at the child, he actually found the strength to cry out again as he felt the baby pulled from him but this time he knew it was out he gasped breathing heavily. It still hurt his body ached he was tired but it was out, the baby was safe at least.

[bhdire8]

Jareht didn't have much time to tend to the baby as he quickly scooped him up, still bloody, and put the baby on Jace's now puffy belly. He then had to pull over clean towels to press on Jace's wounds, which was once again split with the passing of the baby. He put pressure on the wound, and blood quickly soaked through it. Jareth could only hope the bloodflow would slow down soon. Jace couldn't take that much bloodloss.

[secretsparrow]

Jace felt the child being placed on him he brought his hand up to make sure it wouldn't fall. He was pail and his breathing came quick. "Jareth." he was tired he wanted to sleep. The bleeding did eventually slow but he had lost a lot of blood already. It was clear he was struggling. He was still awake at least. He wanted to sleep, he however somehow knew that doing so could be bad idea at the moment.

[bhdire8]

"Yes I am here, babe stay with me. You are fine now, the baby's out. Look at him, another big boy. No wonder it had been so difficult for you." Jareth said keeping a reassuring smile on his face as he returned beside Jace, helping his jello-like arms to hold the baby. The blood had slowed and he was able to free his hands now. "Babe I am moving you up to the bed alright? Stay still i got you. Just relax and dont move." Jareth said lifting Jace up as gently as possible, keeping his hands steady so he wouldnt trigger his wound. The baby was resting on Jace's belly agaibst Jareth's abdomen, sleeping as well. The infant was also tired out with his struggle to come out.

[secretsparrow]

Jace nodded and allowed himself to be picked up. His body was sore and he was tired he smiled lightly back up at him he could still see the small hint of wory in Jareths gaze but it was alright now. He felt himself being placed on the bed and curled up letting the blanket be placed over him. Jace closed his eyes assuming Jareth would take the sleeping baby Jace tried to sleep himself.

[bhdire8]

Jareth saw Jace already sleeping, his breathing evened out. Carefully, he took the baby away and did the same ritual on him as his older brother. He summoned the healing balm and lighy pushed the blanket up to get to Jace's wound. The blood had stopped entirely. He applied the balm to his tear, but no matter how gentle he was, Jace still twitched and whimpered in his sleep.
