MAHIRA
Mom looked at me concerned. Dad was just, unbothered, ignorant as always.
'You look like you saw a ghost.'
'You wanted to know who the father of the kids is, right? Thane is the father of my kids.'
Mom looked at me, eyes full of judgement. She stood up then leaned on the table and looked at
me directly.
'The bastard you disobeyed me for and left me for. That very same bastard is the father of the
babies in your womb.'
'My brother is not a bastard.' Elena retorted.
Mom glared at Elena and if looks could kill she would be six feet under.
'Ooh, I see. The kid who you were so obsessed with, the blonde girl in those pictures you had
everywhere, this is her right.'
Mom nodded her head as if she had solved a mystery.
'So you are the sister of that man who nearly ruined my daughter's life.'
'It doesn't matter who I am, it doesn't concern you. Stop being so judgemental as if fairy being
pregnant with brothers kids is a stain on humanity.'
You hypocritical girl!'
'Mother!' I shouted.
'Elena is important to me, in fact she is more than just Thane's sister, she's my daughter so
watch it, or else I will forget you are my mother.'
Elena looked at mom with disgust and hatred, although her eyes were glassy.
'We just came together after four years, please, don't speak ill of Elena or Thane.'
'Why Mahira? Are these the people you will turn against us for?'
'Mahira, I'm actually disappointed. How could you hurt your mother like this?'
'My brother and fairy are made for each other. I believe in their love story.'
John and Teresa in unison, 'Shut up little girl this is a family matter.'
My head was aching so terribly. The sudden headache and growing pain between my legs
making me uncomfortable.
'Shut up! All of you shut up! Elena is my family. She means a lot to me so she's got every right
to interfere. She deserves respect.' I clutched my stomach as a sharp pain pierced fiercely through me.
'Aaaaaah!' I gasped.
I wanted to pluck out the hair on my scalp or pick on my skin but I knew that wouldn't be enough
to take the pain away. I couldn't stand due to the pain so I lowered myself down to sit on the
floor.
'Hey, what's....ooh no!'
'Horatio!' I screamed at the top of my lungs hoping he'd hear me even though he was outside.
Funny how other people called for family in such situations and I called for my servants and
guards. They were there for me though, especially Horatio and not to mention my assistant,
Rachel but she wasn't here.
Harotio was there when I planned for this day, even though it came earlier. He even took me
shopping for some things the babies would need, he was like an elder brother to me so yeah, I'd
call for him.
Elena rushed to my aid.
'Call Horatio, please.'
Elena nodded her head, Erica came and sat down next to me pushing through my family.
'Breathe in, breathe out, breathe in, breathe out.'
I followed her breathing exercises even though they did nothing to help. Elena came with
Horatio who sat next to me.
'The boys couldn't wait any longer, milady.' he joked. I laughed out of breath.
He kissed his muscles then lifted me up in his arms grunting dramatically. I wanted to laugh
because of how dramatic he was.
'I will punch you after this.'
I cried in agony after saying that and Horatio got serious. Horatio laid me down on the backseat
of the car and put a pillow under my head.
I kept crying because it felt like my bones were breaking but not all at once, but in slow motion
for me to feel each second of agony.
'FUCKIN DRIVE HORATIO!' I screamed at him and I'm sure I sounded like a dying goat or
something. Elena got in the front seat of the car.
I'm gonna shit myself if this goes on any longer. Horatio started the car and after that I was too
engrossed in the pain to think of my surrounding.
God. god please, please don't make the labour pains last for more than 6 hours, that's pure
agony god please I think I can handle 6 hours but not 12 god, 12 is too much in fact anything on
top of 6 hours is too much.
'Ratio! Drive fast.'
'Ratio? Who the hell is Ratio?'
'You silly. Your name is Huratio so your nickname is Ratio.'
'I hate that nickname makes me sound like a math equation.'
'Both of you fuckin shut up and get me to the hospital, your voices are annoying.' When we got
to the hospital, two boys came with a stretcher and Horatio carried me onto it.
'Fairy, please don't die.'
'I won't baby, I promise.'
In the Hospital ER Doctors and nurses rush to attend to me. I've been in this room going
through contractions for four fucking hours and the babies didnt come out. Dr Smith, 'we need to get her prepped for an emergency C section.'
God, I don't want a C section, I'm going to have an ugly scar for the rest of my life.
Nurse, 'let's move!'
Dr Smith, 'we've got a complication , the twins are in breach position.'
Nurse, 'and the placentas separating.'
Dr Smith, 'we need to act smart.'
Mahira's vital signs begin to drop.
Nurse, 'blood pressures crushing.'
Dr Smith, 'let's get her stable.'
My breath faltered a bit, it felt like someone was standing and my chest while the other was
strangling me. Was I dying? Before I saw my babies.
Dr Smith, 'we're losing her get the crash cart.'
Nurse, 'we need to deliver the babies now!'
Dr Smith, 'scalpel.'
their voices blurred into the background and all i could feel was the pain even when i was
blacked out.
The medical term performs the emergency C section.
