just_muse_me :: 9.4.3 Scream
[ooc: I've already written some about Eli as an older kid. Thought I'd actually get around to writing his birth.]
Nine months after she took a life and she was bringing another into the world, life that came from the one she'd ended. The pain was worse than she could have ever imagined. All she could do was scream, scream about how much she hated that bastard phantom who stole Clark's face. He deceived her into thinking he was Clark, took advantage of her feelings for him, and even though he was gone, he was still making her suffer.
"If he wasn't already dead I'd KILL him!" she sneered as her nails dug into Pete's hand.
"I know, I know! Just don't kill me instead, okay?!"
Another wave of pain, another scream.
"GET THIS DAMN THING OUT OF ME!"
Fifteen minutes later, everything faded as she held her baby in her arms. It didn't matter where he came from. It was love at first sight.
"Hey little boy," she cooed at the infant. "I'm your mommy."
