Before her echoes even faded, Arthour and Mai reappeared in Mage House, standing in his office. She was still wet from the bath, but at last she was now dressed in a loose, white shift.

The office, was a simple afire, wooden panels covered it from ceiling to floorboards, bookcases filled the walls and a large window overlooked the gardens of Mage House. The green house loomed in one corner. The lights were, for the most par, out in the offic, until the golden glow of Arthour's magic that teleported them there lit the room up and the lights also activated, bring a soft, calm glow to the room. The fireplace lit up as well, and all of this, was ignored as by Arthour as his full attention was on Mai.

"REBECCA!!" He bellowed for his secretary, holding Mai tightly, supporting her and watching her with concern "Get Help! Right now!"

Wincing hearing him yelling "not so close to my ear" Looking up at him smirking "Could I at least have a towel?"

Curling up against Art, her eyes closed, gripping onto his arm, her grip tightening now and then when a pain hit

Arthour

He flicked his hand and a towel did indeed appear in his hand, handing to her, he would kiss her cheek softly and let her grip his arm when she felt the need, and mode no sound or movement in complaint at how hard she gripped.

When Rebecca entered the room, she wasn't alone. Apparently, she'd been expecting something like this and had come along with additional help. A number of mages, healers mostly, followed her in, as well as members of Vampire House, faces Mai would know.

Looking at the others, then at Art, managing to not scream in pain, or writh in pain, it was unbecoming of the Vampiress "I need to.......get inside warding......quickly"

Wincing, and hissing "I know little one, I know" Ending the words on a chocked snarl, attempting to stand, wrapping the towel around herself "Its past....for now"

Arthour

And that, was why he'd taken them to Mage House. Because, the House looks after it's. Always, it knows which room is needed and when Mai indicated she needed a different place, the House, provided. Arthour's office faded around them, the walls shifted and melted. And then, they re-formed. They stood in a room of white tiles and soft lights, warm and comforting. It was quite clear that this was a place for child birth, all the apparatus set aside in clean, clinical precision. The correct and proper wards, runes and sigils were set about the room, doing what was required of them.

Arthour remained at Mai's side, holding her and supporting her because....Well..Thats what a husband does, isn't it' He could tell, she was in pain. More pain than she was letting on. Kissing her cheek lightly, he glanced about the room as the other women set to doing what was obviously a rehearsed routine of getting everything ready for Mai. He...Had...No...idea...What was going on. Well, he did know what was going on, obviously. He's read biology books. But, that knowledge didn't do much to prepare him for what was ahead. At the very least, Arthour knew there were two things he could do. The arm that was around Mai, holding and supporting her, also carried along it a tiny spark of healing magic. It reached his hand and seeped into Mai, at the very least taking the edge off of her pain.

Arthour kissed her cheek, and spoke softly, trying to keep her calm "Come on Mai, we need to get you sat down...Or something.." Can you tell, he's never done this before? At any rate, it was quite clear he had no intention of letting her go.

Mai Silverblood

Looking at him getting nervous "your nervous! oh great, that makes me worse!" Moving over to lie on a bed, muttering to the others from vampire house, her voice so low only they could hear, smiling gently as each nodded and, moved to take over, slowly and efficiently

"They know what they are doing, do you want to stay or do you want to leave?" Looking at him allowing the magic with in the warding to wrap her up in a red gown, smiling at him

Arthour

Date: 2013-05-23 13:29 EST
"Me" Nervous" Don't be silly. I'm an all powerful demi-god. We don't get nervous" Lies. All lies. He quirked his head as she spoke to the other vampires, but said nothing.

When Mai moved to the bed, he followed her. And didn't for one second let the other vampires move him from his place at her side. When she asked if he wanted her to leave, he gave her a look "Don't be silly. I'm staying right here" And with that, he stood at her shoulder, taking her hand in his " I. Am not going any where, my love" He spoke softly, kissing her cheek and added: "Have I told you....You look beautiful in red, my love?"

Mai Silverblood

Chuckling, gripping the bed sheets "Im about to give birth and your complimenting me? I do love you?

Her eyes closed focusing on the contractions, till she felt the urge to push, screaming now and then

Arthour

Date: 2013-05-23 15:35 EST
"That's because you are" He he replied with a smile "Always, the most beautiful woman in the world to me"

He held her hand, each and every time she screamed, his hand never left hers. Not matter how hard she gripped, he made no noise or complaint if her grip harmed him. He simply knelt beside her, stroking her hair and whispering comforting, soothing things into her ear as she pushed.

The vampires did indeed, know what they were doing, as did the others that had come in with Rebecca. Arthour's hand stroked her her forehead, and her cheek. "Nearly there Mai, nearly there..." He said softly in her ear "Just a little more..."

And then" The most wonderful noise in the world occurred. A new born's first breath...And it's screams as it greeted the world. Arthour looked up from Mai's face to watch as Camellia greeted them with her lungs for the first time and he smiled happily. And yes, tears glistened in his white-blue eyes and ran down his cheeks in shear happiness.

When the...Nurses" Were done cutting the umbilical cord and cleaned Camellia up, before bring her over to him, wrapped up in a pink towel. She was quiet now, apart from a few baby gurgles and grumbles which ended when she ended up in his arms. She then fell silent, content and happy in her farther's hands.

"Mai..." He said softly, a smile on face as he was unable to tear his gaze from Camellia's little, sweet face.

Mai Silverblood

Date: 2013-05-23 15:52 EST
Smiling at him, lying back again "beautiful"

Letting her body rest and heal, a Blonde haired Vampiress came to Art "sir, you need to let her rest now, the Wards will change to allow her to heal fully" Smiling at him "you may take the baby with you, she may be affected also, and is not injured"

Indicating him to the edge of the warding "you may stay near if you wish, but, you can not enter, no matter what" Smiling at him "and you may want to wash and dress your baby before visiting your mate"

The wards changing to a red, save the safe exit "please, hurry"

Arthour

Date: 2013-05-23 16:10 EST
He looked up at the blond vampiress, a slightly blank look on his face as she suggested that he should leave his wife's side "I think...We'll be fine where we are" He replied, and looked at Mai.

He didn't have much intention of leaving Mai's side. In fact, he had no intention of leaving Mai's side at all. Camellia apparently didn't like the idea ether. Arthour was quite sure he could deflect any affects of the wards that surrounded them, very sure in fact. But, if Mai told him to go, he would. Not that he wanted to of course, but he would do pretty much anything that she told him to do

Mai Silverblood

Date: 2013-05-23 16:28 EST
Looking at him "you need to...........I will drain all within the warding, the Vampiress's are also leaving, please, you both need to"

Smiling at him, inhaling sharply, her eyes closing "please, hurry"

The Warding glowing a bright Vibrant red, began to slowly pour thier ambiant energy and power into her, slowly, as she hoped Art and Camellia were safe outside the wards

Arthour

Date: 2013-05-23 16:42 EST
He moved away when she said that. Reluctantly, but he did move as she'd asked him "We'll be right here my love" He said softly, and stood outside the ward and watched from there, holding Camellia in his arms, kissing her forehead softly and smiled down at her, before his gaze returned to Mai. He waited as the wards worked. They may have snatched a tiny bit of his energy, but it wasn't a great deal and had no effect on the baby in his arms.

Mai Silverblood

Date: 2013-05-23 16:57 EST
After a while Mai, blinked and sat up, her hair, longer and more vibrant in reddish tones, looked around, spotting them smiles "Im alright now my love"

Getting up walking out of the wards sighing "how is she?" Looking at the baby in his arms, smiling "hey there precious" Kissing her forehead gently "Mama is all better"

Arthour

Date: 2013-05-23 17:00 EST
"Happy to be in her father's arms" :He replied softly, watching his ever more beautiful wife with a smile. Until Camellia started to fuss after Mai kissed her.

"She wants her mama now, however" Arthour said with a rueful smile, and looked at Mai again, before kissing her, his lips meeting hers suddenly "I love you"

Mai Silverblood

Date: 2013-05-23 17:08 EST
chuckling, kissing him back "I love you to" Taking Camellia chuckling "hey now little princess, lets go get you all clean and dressed" Smiling at her, then looking at Art "should we try her with a bottle of sweet blood?"

Looking down at the adorable, pale baby in her arms, the red iris' standing out against the blue-white pupils, and a small tuft of reddish and white hair.

"she has daddy's eyes and hair and nose" tapping the little button nose gently, before, smiling up at him

Arthour

Date: 2013-05-23 17:34 EST
"Your the expert my love, but I think that sounds likea good idea." He said lovingly, a hand moving to settle on Mai's back softly as he stood close to her, looking back at her and then down at his daughter. There were still tears evident in his eyes.

"And mummy's hair. I knew she'd be beautiful, just like you" Arthour looked between Mai and Camellia and said softly "My two, beautiful angles."

Mai Silverblood

Date: 2013-05-23 17:41 EST
Smiling at him "you are such a smoothy" Smirking, lifting her hand drawing an unknown sigil, a baby bottle appearing in her hand "look what mama has baby girl, are you hungry, yes?"

Looking at Art "care to teleport us home" ad we can wash and dress our precious treasure?"

Arthour

Date: 2013-05-23 18:11 EST
He wrapped his arm around her and kissed her again "Of course, my love" They were, all three of them, enveloped in a golden hue and were all teleported back to the cottage, the living room specifically. He smiled, his arm still around her waist, he smiled brightly "Lets get out beautiful darling daughter cleaned up, shall we my love?" He indicated to the bathroom. There was now a a baby changing station in there, and everything one needed to wash and change Camellia. Great thing about being a demi-god in your reality, you can make changes as and when you like.
