Scarlett knew it was coming far before the pain had begun to happen. Sometimes, vampires just knew because they could sense it and not to mention the fact that Scarlett had birthed so many children before this one. Before Alyssa. Scarlett was laying in bed, preparing for the birth to happen with James and Gunner standing across the room just talking to pass the time. Next to Scarlett was Morgan and although the two still weren't on good terms, Morgan wanted to be present for her granddaughter's birth.

Scarlett had hardly broken a sweat and just waited for the dilation to finish. Scarlett had a high tolerance for pain and being a vampire, nothing quite matched the turning process. Besides, Scarlett knew what to expect by now.

Scarlett glanced over to the clock. She had only been in labor for a good ten minutes now and was waiting for James to tell her she could push. "Fuck, let's get this little girl outta me. I'm hungry," Scarlett teased with a small smirk as Gunner gave her a playful look. Scarlett hadn't fed yet today and she was quite thirsty but such an experienced vampire knew how to hold their own when it came to feeding or lack there of.

"Can I push yet?" Scarlett asked, she was very impatient for these human type of things.

Tears don't fall

James laughed quietly as he slid the latex gloves on and moved back over to Scarlett, leaving Gunner to stand in the doorway. After sitting down in the chair that his grandson had carried into the bedroom at the end of the bed he glanced over the things that needed glancing and nodded to Scarlett. "Whenever you're ready." James informed and slowly slid his hands inside the sheet cover that he and Gunner had constructed before. James knew that Scarlett could probably handle this on her own, but he would just be here if she needed help.

When James gave Scarlett the word he slowly moved over to Scarlett's side. Gunner looked tired as hell. Scarlett had been up the whole night before with contractions and all that bullshit and he didn't get any sleep. Plus, he was just as starving as she was. Morgan had brought him over McDonald's but he was sure she forgot how much her son ate and only brought him a number one with large fries. That only made Gunner hungrier. When Gunner had finally made it over to Scarlett he took his hand in hers and pressed his lips to her temple gently. Gunner had been present at the birth of all his children, but Alyssa was the first child to be made purly on the love of both people.

You're the sunlight on my face, and you're the one I can't replace.
Everything just seems to fall apart without a trace. I will be, and I will show.
Follow me, wherever I go. But that was so long ago, you assume that I've forgotten.
But how could I ever forget you, I know, I'm having trouble letting go.
Though it was so long ago. I was thinking back today, and I remember everything.
Like all the things we used to say.

"Then let's get this show on the road," Scarlett said, in a rather sarcastic tone as she smirked down at James and then up at Gunner at her side. This was not her first birth, by far, but she was ready to be a mother again. It was an exciting notion to think that one never had to stop bringing beautiful children into the world. She and Gunner could have children for the next three thousand years if they wanted to.

Scarlett then nodded and waited for the next contraction to begin before she would start pushing. It made it easier that way. Labor went faster. Once the contraction had begun, Scarlett flinched and let her eyes slip closed as she began to push. After two, long pushes she could tell that Alyssa was already half way out. With a loud, long groan, Scarlett pushed once and then twice more. Alyssa could be heard wailing as James picked her up and that sound alone made Scarlett smile as she collapsed back onto the pillow behind her.

Gunner's head perked up when he heard the wailing of his newborn daughter and pulled his hand from Scarlett's slowly. "Would you like to cut the cord?" James asked Gunner and held out the pair of medical scissors. With a quick nod, Gunner rushed over to his grandfather figure and took the scissors and then snipped the umbilical cord and then watched as James did the necessary things to to Alyssa. Once she was wrapped up in a pink blanket she was handed to Gunner and he smiled widely. After three previous children, Gunner knew it was healthy for a baby to cry but it always startled him. He never liked his children upset.

"Shh, baby girl, Daddy's here." Gunner whispered against Alyssa's tiny ear before he pressed his lips to her temple and then slowly moved back towards Scarlett.

Scarlett didn't open her eyes for quite sometime, she just listened to Gunner and the quiet now happy cooing of her daughter in Gunner's arms. Smiling, Scarlett then opened her eyes to stare up at her husband and baby girl. "Now this is the way life is supposed to be," Scarlett whispered as her entire body began to relax on the bed. Muscles untensed and even though she was tired, it wasn't anything she couldn't handle. Spending time with her newborn was far more important.

"She looks a lot like you already," Scarlett whispered as she slowly sat up to rest her back against the headboard of the bed and to get a better look at her Alyssa who was perfectly content in her daddy's large arms.

"Well it seems now that I have my girls and you have your boys." Gunner whispered as he sat down on the edge of the bed with the tiny, now quiet Alyssa in his arms. Gunner was actually tempted to laugh, the little baby had specks of his multicolored hair on her hair already. He thought it to bed adorable. It would feel nice to have a newborn around the house once again. Gunner carefully placed his hand on the back of Alyssa's tiny head and let his rough fingertips stroke it gently as he glanced over at his mother.

"Do you want to hold your newest granddaughter?" Gunner asked his mother in an extremely excited yet quiet tone.

Morgan rose from her spot sitting next to Scarlett, still stunned into quietness. Even though she had plenty of grandchildren, it still fascinated her that she was actually a grandma. Her boys didn't seem old enough to be raising families of their own. Smiling broadly, Morgan walked around the end of the bed to stand in front of Gunner. "I'd be honored," Morgan whispered as she took the small baby from Gunner when he delicately handed her to his mother.

"So Alyssa Wood," Morgan whispered as she placed a gentle peck on her granddaughter's smooth forehead. It made Morgan miss the time when her boys were this young. "I remember when you were first born like it was yesterday. She does resemble you a lot."

Gunner chuckled quietly as he placed one of his large arms around Scarlett and pressed his lips to her temple for a long second before whispering in her ear. "I love you, Mrs. Wood." Gunner smiled as he pulled away and stared at his newborn child in his mother's arms. "And they pretty much all resemble me don't they? Let's hope they don't get my personality or their socially screwed." Gunner teased with another quiet laugh.

"Oh please, you aren't that bad, Gunner. Sometimes," Scarlett teased as she grinned up at her husband and then her smile only widened when Morgan had placed Alyssa in Scarlett's arms for the first time. Scarlett locked her eyes instantly on her little girl and Alyssa opened her eyes to do the same. Scarlett felt her heart skip a beat and she leaned down to kiss Alyssa's pudgy little cheek. "I love you, Alyssa."

Scarlett's voice was barely even a whisper as she brushed her lips along her daughter's forehead. Scarlett then glanced up at Gunner and when their eyes locked as well, Scarlett murmured, "I love you too, Mr. Wood."
