As my labor progresses I begin to feel more of an out of body experience than I had expected. I can still feel the pain and the joy of being in labor but it no longer feels as if it is affecting me as much as it should be. Elle is watching me worriedly as I begin to push out the children.

"Dante, I need you to talk to her. I have never delivered hybrid twins for somebody before. She needs you." Elle tells Dante.

He looks at her in shock before looking at my face. Whatever he sees there must be enough to make him come towards my head instead of waiting to see the children coming out. He reaches out a hand and begins to stroke my sweaty hair as I keep pushing.

"Just a little more and the first one will be out." Elle says triumphantly.

At that, I give one big push and feel the baby slide out as Elle waits to catch it. She washes it quickly using the element of water and even pulls some gunk out of the baby's lungs. As soon as the lungs are clear, I can hear a baby begin wailing.
