All Oddities Aside [Mina/Oliver]

[clementine]

Slightly mollified, Oliver waited for Mina to get dressed so they could go. "You still plan on training me up?" He asked playfully.

[praiseofblood]

"Of course," Mina smiled, "You do still have to be legit, even though you are my mate."

[clementine]

"I wouldn't have it any other way." He replied fondly, kissing Mina's cheek.

[praiseofblood]

Mina led his mate to the job, smiling happily. Gods, so this was what it was like to be in love.

~~~~~~~

Months later found Mina in the hospital, looking up into the eyes of a worried Oliver as doctors readied to put him in the Medibox, his belly swollen.

[clementine]

The shifter soothed his made, continually touching and kissing him. "It'll be okay Mina. I'll be right here." Oliver murmured, kissing his mate only last time before the doctors finally settling Mina into the Medibox. It was nearly time.

[praiseofblood]

"Holy red Hell!" MIna gasped as another contraction hit. He shuddered, nearly about to cry as the box injected him with sedants and the doctors closed it.

[clementine]

Oliver fussed and worried, the tall male only getting in the way. Finally, a nurse pulled him aside to the corner of the room and told him to wait there. It would only be a moment.

[praiseofblood]

A moment turned into four hours, until a piercing wail was heard in the room, and the doctors fussed about the child.

[clementine]

The shifter drooped his head up and immediately was rushing over to look at his squirming, pink son. When the child was clean, the infant was settled into Oliver's arms as Mina was cleaned up and sterilized.

Oliver looked into the blue eyes of the babe and couldn't help but smile.

[praiseofblood]

The baby cooed, head already full of curly, wet, black hair. He cried a bit, fussing in confusion.

[clementine]

Oliver cuddled his baby, clucking and bouncing him to soothe the tears. When Mina had been moved to a regular bed, the shifter was pressing their son into his mate's arms. Of course the baby would want its mother.

[praiseofblood]

Mina woke slowly to the sound of a baby's whine, and he opened his eyes, looking at Oliver sleepily. "Is that...?" he spoke groggily.

~~~

Outside, Ken and Alge, Isis and Maddy, Stella and Julius, Shion and Kaleos, Akale and his very pregnant human mate Makana and the rest of the gang waited outside anxiously. They wanted to see the gang too!

[clementine]

"Yes love. Our child." Oliver murmured, kissing Mina gently. "Isn't he beautiful?" As the couple cooed over their baby, Alge broke free of the mob outside, slipping in with a laugh.

"Can I see?" He whispered, scuttling over to the other side of Mina's bed to see the baby. Alge was never known for being patient.

[praiseofblood]

Mina blinked, looking down into his beautiful childs eyes and smiling. He looked at the also pregnant Algernon and smiled. "Here, mind his head." he warned.

[clementine]

Looking at the baby in awe, Alge ginerly took him into his arms. "Does it hurt?" He asked, looking at the baby in wonder. "Hello." He cooed, kissing the child's forehead sweetly.
