-CLARA-
“What?... But... but you said my due date was in three weeks time?" I managed to ask as panic settled down within me. I hadn't mentally prepared myself to have the babies today.
"Well they're more eager to come out than I initially thought. We need to go into immediate surgery!" The doctor announced and I shook my head slightly before letting out another scream as the pain shot right through my stomach.
"Ahhh!" I screamed loudly and could barely hear Damon's mother's voice as she tried her best to calm me down while she cried as well.
"The witches are on their way, you have to hold on till then, Clara" Luca uttered as he walked towards the bed and grabbed my hand.
"I can't do this without Damon, he has to be by my side. I can't..."
"Calm down Clara, it's going to be okay. Don't panic. We are here and we'll help you through this" Luca tried to comfort me but I didn't need anyone else but Damon. He was the only one that could calm me down.
"We need to transfer her to the delivery room immediately" The doctor uttered with panic laced in his voice just as I let out another scream. Before I knew it, I was being lifted up from the bed and onto the stretcher.
"Damon!" I yelled out as they rolled me towards the delivery room. Please goddess, I needed Damon more than ever now. I didn't think I could do this without him.
"She's bleeding" I heard Delilah faintly yell while Luca cursed loudly.
"Prepare for surgery" The Doctor yelled as they pushed me inside a room and slowly placed me on the bed.
"Please get me Damon, I need Damon" I cried out loudly as I trashed around on the bed.
"You have to stay still madam" The doctor uttered but the pain just kept getting worse.
"Why can't you inject her with anesthesia or something?" Luca questioned.
"Because I'm afraid she won't wake up after that. This is going to be painful Mrs Donovan but you have to bear it for your children's sake" The doctor uttered as they chained me to the bed to stop me from moving.
"I'll go call the witches again" Luca uttered before running out of the room.
"Ahhh!" I screamed again as the pain slowly crawled up my body, towards my brain. It felt like my stomach was being sliced with a knife.
I needed Damon, without him I couldn't do this. I needed him by my side.
"Damon!"
~DAMON~
Something was wrong. I could feel that something was wrong with Clara but I had no idea how to get out of the dark space I was in. I glanced around and was met with total darkness. Was I dead? Had I gone to hell?
"Damon!" My heart leaped in my throat as soon as I heard Clara's voice but when I glanced around, there was no sign of her, not even her presence. Where was her voice coming from then? Why did it sound like she was in pain?
Was Sebastian hurting her? I thought I had killed him?
"Let me out of here!" I screamed as I walked further into the darkness. I needed to get to Clara, she needed me.
“Let me out! I need to get to my wife! Please let me out!" I screamed but was met with the echo of my voice.
"Damon!" I let out a groan as I heard her voice again. I ran my fingers through my hair out of frustration as I glanced around. I needed to get to her, she fucking needed me.NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
"You need to wake up!" A voice suddenly said out of nowhere. I couldn't even recognize who's voice it was.
"Open your eyes and wake up, Damon!" The voice yelled out again, this time more urgently.
"Your wife needs you, wake up!" I let out a gasp as I immediately jolted awake with my eyes wide open.
The loud beeping of the sound beside me was the first thing I heard before I heard Clara scream my name again and this time, it was clearer. "Clara" I managed to murmur and tried moving my body when I noticed I was covered in stitches.
I immediately reached down and tore the bandage on my hand and ripped out the syringe before tearing off the bandage on my legs. My whole body ached and I felt like I was going to die at any minute but Clara needed me and getting to her was all that matters.
I pushed my leg off the bed and tried standing on my two feet but my leg immediately gave out and I fell to the ground with a groan. Fuck, I couldn't walk!
"Damon please!" Clara screamed again and this time, with more pain and urgency.
Since my leg didn't work, I decided to crawl my way to her. It wasn't easy but I didn't care. The more I moved, the more harsh my breathing got. I began to feel dizzy and I knew it wouldn't take long before I passed out but I needed to get to her first.
"Mr Donovan! You shouldn't be out of your room" Someone yelled behind me but I didn't dare stop. Then someone grabbed me and tried pulling me back into the room but I pushed them away and fell down to the ground.
"I need to get to my wife! If you dare stop me, I'll kill you!" I screamed in their faces before turning away as I crawled as fast as i couldn't towards Clara's voice with the nurses trailing behind me.
"Damon? You..." I turned to the voice and saw Luca staring down at me with shock.
"What are you..."
“Get me to Clara now!" I ordered and he immediately nodded before helping me off the ground and towards Clara's hospital room.
Before we walked in, Luca briefed me on the situation at hand and I couldn't help but curse at the moon goddess for making Clara go through all this just because she chose to love me. It was bullshit!
"Clara!" I called out her name as soon as Luca helped me into the room. Her cries immediately stopped as she turned to me with wide eyes. "Damon!" She called out my name and at that moment, I didn't care about the pain I was in. I pushed Luca again and wobbled my way towards her before crashing into her arms, holding her tightly.
“It's going to be okay, I'm here now" I murmured into her ear as she cried into my arms.
"I'm in so much pain, Damon. I don't know if I can do this" She murmured and I pulled away slightly to stare into her face.
"You're strong and so are our children. You can do this, I know you can" I said softly to her before placing a kiss on her lips.
"We would need to do a c section. She cannot give birth to them naturally, that would cause more bleeding" The Doctor announced and I nodded without taking my eyes off Clara.
"Look at me and focus on me okay?" I told Clara as I caressed her cheek. My mother handed me a towel and I used that to clean the sweat off her forehead.
"I already numb your belly but you might still feel some pain" The doctor said before he began the intersection on her stomach.
"Ahh!" Clara screamed as he cut through her skin and all I could do was hold her tight and let her dig her claws into my skin in the process.
“The numbing cream isn't working, damn it!" I yelled as I turned to the doctor.

"It's not because of this that she's screaming,the babies are moving more than usual thus causing her pain. We need to get them out of there immediately" The Doctor said to us and I cursed inwardly before turning to Clara.
"She's losing too much blood" One of the nurses yelled out and my hold on Clara tightened.
"I can't do it, I failed them" Clara murmured softly as tears rolled down her cheeks.
"You can do it baby, don't fucking give up" I said as I grabbed onto her face.
"I can barely keep my eyes open, Damon," She murmured softly.
"Listen to my voice Clara. You have to fight not just for our children but for me. I can't live without you, I won't live without you so please, please fight" I murmured as tears rolled down my cheeks.
I was trying my best to keep my eyes open. The whole room was spinning around me and my head throbbed painfully but Clara mattered more to me than any pain I was feeling.
"I'm sorry Damon" She choked out and immediately, my heart felt like it was being ripped out of my chest.
"Clara!..."
"The witches are here!” Luca
announced as he barged into the
room with the witches behind him They were muttering incantations as they walked into the room while one of them rounded the room with candles.

“Ahhh!” Clara suddenly screamed as she thrusted her body upwards and I held her down then turned to glare at the witches.
"What are you...”
"They are helping her. She has stopped bleeding!" The Doctor exclaimed with his eyes.
"Take the babies out!" One of the witches yelled and I recognized her as the one who helped defeat Sebastian.
"Are you okay Clara?" I questioned as I turned to Clara who was groaning in pain.
"Yes, it doesn't hurt as much" She managed to say and I let out a sigh of relief.
"One baby out!" The doctor announced and my heart leaped with joy at the sound of our baby's cry. A smile appeared on Clara's face and I couldn't
help but kiss her tears away.
"The second one is out!
Congratulations, you have a baby
girl and a baby boy!" The Doctor announced with a joyful tone and immediately wrapped my arms around Clara as we both cried in
et
each other's arms.
"Oh goddess, you did it! You fucking did it, Clara" I murmured into her chest when I suddenly felt Clara go limp in my arms.
I immediately pulled away and my eyes widened when I noticed she was no longer breathing.
"Clara! Clara!!" I screamed as I held onto her tightly only to be pulled away by Luca as the doctors rushed to her side.
"Clara!" I screamed one last time before my eyes rolled to the back of my head and everything turned black...

THIS IS NOT THE END!
