It was time!
Who knew the pain was worse than being shot? Everyone knew labor was hard. You saw the screaming women, but there were drugs available. Not here! All natural.
Zef screamed as she pushed. She cursed the name of the man she'd coerced into conceiving the child. It was her fault, but he said yes... even if she had tricked him still.
Time seemed to blur. Even more so than this place. There were no creatures to help. No one to catch the baby should he come early. Nothing but the sounds of her screams echoing down the black glass halls.
A bell tolled and Zef felt the world shimmer in her bones and there was her midwife and she was in a pool of water. It was sudden and jarring and her head swam with the pain and the time distortion. She pushed and screamed as another contraction wracked her body. The next sound the pierced the halls was that of her son.
And then three was silence as the baby and the creatures disappeared as if they'd never been there.
