Chapter 78

Pain.

Lot of pain was the first thing that hit Elizabeth as soon as she went into labor. It was a deep searing pain that left her gasping for breath. The sensation she was feeling now was something she had never felt before. It just felt like her stomach was about to rupture, as she lay twisting on the floor in her room.

No matter how much she tried to replace a comfortable position on the floor, she could never adjust to the new feeling that always seemed to leave her breathless at every five minutes intervals.

“Eva” Elizabeth cried into her hands.

Elizabeth knew that labor would be very painful. She has seen other women go through it before but she didn’t expect it to hurt this much. Her whole body was cracking form every single joint, starting from her h*p down to her legs.

“Crap! Oh crap!” Elizabeth cried even more.

Another minute past before the door burst open and Eva hurried inside with two more guards trailing her from behind.

“Eva?” Beth called and Eva quickly knelt beside her on the floor.

“I’m right here, child. You are going to be okay”

“Please help me. It hurt so much. I can’t take it”

“I know, you just have to bear it, child. It’ll be over soon” Eva assured her before turning to one of the guards who were still stationed in the room.

“Come on, help me get her up right now”

One of the guards looked hesitant and Eva gave him a hard glare before he stepped forward and lifted her into his arms and Eva turned to lead the way back to the clinic.

Elizabeth clung onto his chest as she buried her face into his clothes, looking for some sort of comfort but replaceing none as she was left groaning and whimpering even more in his arms, It just seemed like with every breath she took, with it came more pain even worse than the previous one.

Another minute went by before she was being lowered against a narrow bed in the clinic and more women working in the clinic surrounded her while Eva quickly readied herself to assist in her delivery.

Beth couldn’t lay still even if she tried. Her whole body ached, a deep wracking ache that left her feeling weak and damaged from the inside.

It felt like she was being hit by a sledge hammer in her lower region over and over with no hope of it stopping. It was brutal and very bad and she had no idea if she’d even survive it.

“Please Eva, i need you to promise me something” Elizabeth g*****d, almost rolling off the edge of the bed.

Eva quickly held her back as she stood fully suited up and prepared her delivery.

“What is it child?” Eva asked with a gentle look in her eyes.

Elizabeth screamed out in pain as another contraction hit her hard. It just seemed like anytime the pain reduced, it came back with a full force that left her gasping for breath.

“I want you to promise me that if I don’t survive this, you won’t let them hurt my child. Please promise me” She half demanded and plea.

Her eyes were almost at the back of her head now as more pain flooded her stomach. There was nothing she could do now but to take it all as she grinded her teeth painfully.

Eva didn’t seem moved as she only brushed away her hair gently with a sigh. She had heard these kinds of talks before, especially from expectant mothers who thought that, that was the end of the road for them. Eva knew it was pain that was speaking, pain and the deep urge to escape everything that was happening to them.

“You’re not going to die Elizabeth, I will make sure of that. So there is really no need to ask for such promise but if its makes you feel better than I promise” Eva said firmly.

“Thank you” Elizabeth said, leaning into the palm of her hand with a crooked smile.

The next wave of contraction hit her again and it felt like Elizabeth was about to die. She screamed into the night, gripping the bed sheets that had gone rumpled in a few minutes.

“Get her ready, the baby is crowning” Eva barked out order and her assistance pulled her legs apart and left her bare underneath.

“Come on, Elizabeth. I need you to push with all your might when you feel the urge alright?”

“Alright, okay” She said with a deep breath and bite down against her l*p hard and gave her best push.

“That’s it Beth, you’re getting it, just keep pushing and Soon, you’ll get the baby out of you” Eva assured her.

Elizabeth didn’t know if she was joking because what she felt at that moment didn’t feel like she was about to get the baby out of her. It felt like she was birthing a stone rather than a baby. It was difficult and painful to say the least and what Eva said just added to her fear she was feeling.

“oh crap!” she g*****d.

She pushed again, using all her strength to bring her baby to the world. She heaved, throwing her head back as she with all her strength.

“I can’t do this, Eva”

“You can’t give up now Beth, we’re almost close”

Even from her momentary stupor, Elizabeth could see that Eva was stressed. There was a sheen of sweat at her top brows as she wiped it off with the sleeve of her coat.

“Just push Beth, You can do it” she smiled.

Elizabeth did as she said, pushing with all the strength she had. There was nothing more that drove her at that moment than to fight for her life and that of her child. That was her driving force, the energy that propelled her to fight and live.

She cried out again, calling Asher’s name into the night before the door was pushed open roughly and a strange sensation filled Elizabeth. She couldn’t help but feel that Asher was here. She felt a strange sensation that passed through her which always came around anytime Asher came around. It was here and what’s more, it gave her courage to want to want to push more.

“Asher” Elizabeth g*****d.

“I’m right here, Elizabeth” Asher said shakily as he grasp hold of her hand.

Elizabeth sighed as she grasped hold of his hands even tighter.

“it’s hurt so bad” She said crying into his hand.

“It’s all going to be okay. You’re doing just great” he expressed as he mop off sweat from her face.

“come now, push” Elizabeth grab hold of his hand firmly.

“That’s it Beth, go on. Just some more” Eva encouraged.

She gritted her teeth in pain, she couldn’t help but feel like more strength had been added to her just by feeling him close to her. Even though she was still angry at him, she couldn’t deny the fact that she was happy just by feeling him close to her.

Throughout, Asher muttered words of encouragement to her. He would never forgive himself if anything were to ever happen to her. She had suffered a whole lot and he wished he could take away her pain but knew that too was beyond him.

“It’s okay Beth, you can do it. Now push” Asher urged her and she sniffed back tears, readying herself to try again.

Elizabeth stared at him with a heated look in her eyes. She didn’t want to throw anymore insulting words at him. He was here and that was enough. His presence here alone was enough to calm her racing heart. She really didn’t know what she’ll have done if he wasn’t here to offer support and encouragement.

With Asher by her side, she felt strength to push even more and she did with all her might. She owed her baby and to herself as this only would lead to her redemption.
