It was time. You approached Reaper, pain coming in waves through your body in short intervals.
“Hospital! Now!”
He froze for a moment, thinking, Oh my god, this is actually happening to me despite me being a monster…
But it was no time to be angsty. Another wave of obvious pain overtook your form, and he scooped you up and glided over to the door with his bottom half dissolved into mist. He moved fastest this way.
Gabriel opened the door with a mist tentacle, then he growled to himself. What he really wanted to do was to hop from rooftop to rooftop and skip traffic. It would be faster. That didn’t seem respectful to your current state. Gabriel grumbled, formed legs, set you down, and took your hand.
“Squeeze as hard as you need, Woman,” he said, leading you to the car.
“I’m fine!” you stubbornly protested. Then you groaned and your grip tightened, nearly grinding his hand to mist.
“Mhmm.”
You chuckled to yourself, the sass you usually tossed at each other cheering you up and keeping you distracted.
You tossed some sass back on the ride over to the hospital, asking, “Are we there yet?” as often as the contractions would allow.
“I’m going to gag you,” he threatened, waving a mist tentacle at you.
You laughed again and smirked.
“I love you, Honey.”
Gabriel grunted, concentrating on parking the car.
Like a normal human being.
He hated this. But it was for you.
He helped you through the hospital entrance and went to find help.
Gabriel cleared his throat, sounding like a ten pack a day for forty years smoker, and said in the calmest voice he could muster (being calm for you), "Excuse me. My partner is in labour. We need a doctor.”
The receptionist eyed him up and down, with his shady-looking getup. His all-black, covering-every-inch-that-he-could hoody and black jeans. But then she glanced at you, obviously near the end of your third trimester and called a doctor like Gabriel asked.
