Chapter 32 ( A spider's happiness)
Claude's P.O.V.
(Y/N) was not here anymore. Her heart was not beating and her body was cold. As much as I hated to see her like this, I knew there was nothing left to do but wait. Before her last breathe she had told me to not let Alois see her like this. She was still so caring even in her final seconds of life but I had one more important thing to do. I must not stand idly as it is now my responsibility to birth our child...alone. I reach in to pull out the small infant, I felt for him before pulling him from his mother gently. When his body contacts the outside world and the cold air, I break the umbilical cord. It was a boy. (Y/N) and I had a healthy son but one important aspect of this birth was missing and it was the baby's first shrilling cries of it's life.
He must have fluids in his lungs. A good firm pat on the back should fix this problem. Gently, I flip him over while holding him firmly with one hand and take the other to give him two firm pats on his back to release the fluids. A few moments later he took in a sharp breathe and let out cries that had finally relieved me. I grabbed a towel nearby and take the little one into the bathroom to clean him up, then wrap him into a small warm blanket.
After finishing up, I went back into the bedroom to wait for (Y/N) to be reborn. While I waited, I cleaned her as well and replaced the dirtied sheets. I don't know how long I waited for her to open her eyes but it seemed like forever. I wanted her to see her child. I leaned into (Y/N)'s face until our foreheads touched and I was taken back by a familiar sound. The sound of (Y/N)'s beating heart. I was about to speak but her hands quickly latched onto my body in a firm hug.
Her breathing was raspy as if she was trying to remember how to use her lungs. Slowly but surely her eyes fluttered open and I was relieved that she still had her beautiful (eye color) eyes. More importantly I was happy that (Y/N) came back to me. She felt the same way but she also wanted to see our child just as much, not caring about her current state.
(Y/N): C-Claude? Where's the baby? (Y/N) says tiredly)
Claude: He's right here butterfly. (Claude places the infant in your arms)
(Y/N)'s eyes were filled with joy as she cuddled the our child, indeed I knew exactly what she was feeling.
(Y/N): It's a boy. Oh, he's so precious. He looks just like his father.
The baby had half and half of both Claude and your genes. While he had Claude's hair and a bit of resemblance in the face, he also had your eyes.
(Y/N): What should we name him?
Claude: Whatever you wish, it'll be the perfect name regardless.
I could see (Y/N) pondering really hard on an adequate name for our child. A few minutes passed before she had finally decided and I was curious to what she picked.
(Y/N): I like (Child's name). It fits perfectly. What do you think?
Claude: (Child's name) Faustus it is. I think it suits him.
(Child's name) was resting in his mother's arms. Even with his eyes closes, you could see that he had wanted to stare at his parents curiously. Wanting to meet the faces of his parents but only knowing presence.
(Y/N): (Child's name)? Do you want to see your brother? He's been waiting to meet you.
Claude knew that this was his quo to go and fetch Alois, who was looking extremely worried when he opened the door.
Alois: Is mother alright?
Claude only nodded as he stepped aside, signaling Alois to go inside. He was reluctant to see (Y/N) was fine and was holding a small bundle. Alois quickly walked over to inspect the new addition to the family.
Upon seeing Alois, (Child's name) was also curious about the new figure that he seemed to sense before him and was trying to turn his tiny head. With assistance from (Y/N) she angled him so he could see Alois. Alois peered down at him and smiled.
Alois: He looks like a baby Claude.
(Y/N) giggled and (Child's name) managed to free his tiny hand from under the blanket he was wrapped in and grabbed onto Alois's finger as he poked his cheek. (Child's name) slowly began to smile, showing toothless gums while letting out baby noises.
(Y/N): See? He's fond of you already. Would you like to hold him?
Alois: Is it ok?
(Y/N): Sure just sit on the bed and watch his head.
(Y/N) transferred (Child's name) to Alois's arm as he sat on the bed and held (Child's name)protectively.
Alois: He's so light.
(Y/N): Yes, he is quit small but if we give him lots of love and care he'll grow.
For a moment Alois was enjoying, holding the baby, it was so beautiful to hold something so dear. Alois would keep his new brother close and he'd never let anything harm him.
(Child's name) was enjoying being the center of attention and was content with it until he started to cry and Alois panicked because he thought it was his fault.
(Y/N): Alois it's ok. He's just been born so he's probably really hungry.
Alois gave your baby back and decided to leave you to rest after such hard work during the birth. Soon after Claude came in and took (Child's name) to get him changed into some of the clothes the spider's made for him and then gave him back to (Y/N) to breastfeed. Immediately after (Child's name) took in the smell of the milk from his mother's breast, his tiny lips immediately latched on to it to suckle. Claude marveled at the sight. He walked over and sat next to (Y/N) and kissed the baby's head.
Claude: (Y/N) how are you feeling?
(Y/N): I feel fine, why?
Claude: Since your a demon now, you know you'll have different needs from a human. One being the need to feed on human souls.
(Y/N): Yes, I know....but I won't let a simple transformation change who I am. I'll still do the same things I normally do so you won't even know anything's different at all and with the whole souls thing, well, I'll figure something out just like before.
Claude hoped you did because he knew that you didn't have the heart to end someone's life and in time he would help you with your new capabilities but for now he would leave you and the baby to rest, you were both exhausted.
Claude was really content with his life. Who knew you'd both be blessed with such a beautiful boy. Claude, would care for him even if (Child's name) even if he tired of him and he do the same for their future children as well. He took your hand in his and placed a strong kiss on it. He couldn't help but notice that your mark had changed slightly to resemble your own personal one. Hopefully you would not have to use it....
