Who:Sonya Blade, Aziraphale,Ganieda, Henry Tudor, Jane Seymour, Domino
Where: maternity ward
When: Saturday noon, after the previous post
Warnings:language, because this is Sonya

The delivery was quick, or so that's what they told her. When it was discovered that the epidural machine didn't work, the pain and need to push made time stand still, and all she focused on was pushing to get the baby out of her. At around 1 in the afternoon, January 10th, Daniel Blade Tsung was born at 6 pounds and 5 ounces and Sonya Blade felt like she'd just passed a bundle of knives from between her legs. It overshadowed the exhaustion and pain in her throat, and she felt disgusting because of the sheen of pain induced sweat that covered her.

When it was over, they patched her up and took the baby to clean up before wrapping him in a blanket and placing him in her arms. Finally able to see him an see that he was healthy, she couldn't help but smile, brushing a finger along his head of dark brown hair.

"Hey soldier. Not many moms can say this, but I know exactly how you feel right now." She said as she held him closer.

ooc: meet the new mom and baby, also feel free to tag eachother.Oh, and slow time's welcomed

	Domino arrived a few hours later, not wanting to interrupt anything that might have been going on. Years of not dealing with 'female' problems made her ill-equipped to be anything other than a horrified hindrance until the baby and mother were separated. She knocked softly on the door of the room Sonya was staying in. "Want a visitor?" (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Sonya looked up from her son. 'Damn' She thought, 'Hard to believe I'm a 'mom'.' She nodded, leaning against the propped up pillows and adjusted the baby so he could be seen without her waking him up. "So long as you're not a nurse. Come in." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Not the last time I checked." She slipped into the room, a metallic balloon in hand. "I didn't want to bring flowers, in case the baby's allergic." She set the balloon, emblazoned with the words 'It's a Baby!' in bright green, on the floor in the far corner. "How are you doing?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I'm feel like I just passed a grenade between my legs and I'm tired as all hell." she smiled. "But other then that, I'm good." She pointed to the side of the hospital bed. "Just tie it there, I'm not sure if he's allergic, but I don't care for flowers. So it's just as well." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She nodded and tied it up. "I figured as much, anyway." She took a seat, knowing it would be difficult to get back out of the chair. "But you're both healthy?" That was the important thing, really. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sonya_blade 2009-01-15 06:01 pm UTC (link)
	"We're both healthy and have all of our limbs and no extra ones." Which was a secret concern of Sonya's..she did conceive him when she was on the pill after all. Danny continued to stare Sonya, as though studying her-or trying to. (Reply to this) (Parent)

The subterfuge involved in visiting Sonya was a bother, of course, and in most cases Henry would not have cared particularly about the press getting wind of his movements. But the last thing he wanted to do was bring the clamour and chaos of the papparazzi into a hospital, particularly when a newborn child was involved. Henry had taken the point, recalled his most military carriage and strolled into the hospital.

A detour past one of the nurses' stations and into a supply closet resulted in the potion wearing off just ten seconds after entering Sonya's room. With a grin, Henry removed his hat and held up the remaining potion. "Now this has potential. I have to get your recipe."

Henry stepped closer to the new mother and child. "Congratulations," he said, smiling even more widely.

Sonya raised her left hand in victory. "That's great to hear..or see in this case. Sorry, Henry, emergency cases only. But, if you need a bottle, just give me a ring and I'll 'ship' a bottle over."

She adjusted her hold on the baby for him to see, no longer sleeping but staring with dark, big brown eyes. "Henry meet Danny, Danny, this is Henry. He and your momma had an interesting time fighting off zombies, when you were still alien shaped inside me." She quietly laughed.

"Too bad," Henry answered, pocketing the vial. "But I'll keep it in mind in case something genuinely bad comes up."

Henry pulled a chair beside the bed to gaze at the baby in Sonya's arms. A smile lit his face and he reached out with one finger to stroke the boy's cheek. "Hello there, Danny. Welcome to the world. Although I'm sure you're a strong young man, you're very lucky to have your mother to protect you."

	"Damn straight." Though this was said more to herself, feeling a twinge of predatory protectiveness. The baby turned his head toward Henry when he brushed his cheek. She smiled. "Do you want to hold him or do I have to call one of the nurses to say one of my visitors melted onto the floor." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"May I really?" Henry asked excitedly, taking the baby gingerly into his arms. He continued to stroke the boy's cheek. "I only remember my daughter Mary's birth. It was miraculous." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Wouldn't have asked otherwise."

She didn't mention Mary's birth, knowing that Henry was desperate for a male heir and knowing even more that desperate men would do anything.

She leaned back against the pillows when he took the bundle from her. "You have time to read the book I sent?"

Sure, she told him a cliff notes version of her story, but the full story behind Outworld, the tournament, Shang Tsung, Kahn and the stories of the more influential combats like the Great Kung Lao...the only way it could've been told would be in book form.

	"Oh, yes," Henry replied, never taking his eyes off the infant. "Very interesting. Of course, if I hadn't known you, I'd have dismissed it as base fantasy." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sonya_blade 2009-01-16 06:10 pm UTC (link)
	"What'd I tell you. Say what you will about how historical writers view you, atleast you've made a lot of impact. The best I could hope for is some deal with a fantasy series." She frowned, feeling a twinge of possessiveness that felt somewhat alien to her. "I'll have him back now." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"All I really wanted was for history to remember me... I hoped as a good King, but at least a remembered one. I doubt that, in whatever way it happens, that your story will be easily forgotten." "Of course." Henry handed the child back to her. "Congratulations once more." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Sonya sighed in relief when Danny was handed back to her. "Didn't mean to snap, this past week's just sucked and Danny's the only good thing that came out of it." She took a deep breath, being hormonal was no excuse to loose control over herself.

"You wanted no more than what every monarch wants. And you were a good king, for your accomplishments, but you were also desperate for an heir, I know well enough that a desperate man would try anything to achieve results."

"If I let the story out, no one would believe it. What would happen is that someone would sign a movie deal for it, they'll change the ending and my character will be played by some movie star who looks hot but has no muscle tone and couldn't even appear to know how to fight."

She felt herself laughing, because it was funny, sort of..or maybe she just needed a good laugh.

	"Quite all right," Henry answered. He nodded at the sober, and rather sobering, assessment of his reign. Henry also smiled at Sonya's prediction. "Well, it seems every adaptation of my history has either focused on the sex and intrigue, or forced me to see myself portrayed as fat and ailing." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"I'll confess that history was never my best subject but I can assure you you're not the only one. Katherine of Aragon's portrayed more as a robot than a human, Anne Boleyn's image is either of heroine or manipulative (depending on who you ask)." She kept track on her fingers.

"Jane Seymour's always portrayed as some simpering, pious, little wife-and of course we both know that that's not true. Anna Cleves was said to be ugly with bad teeth and pock marked, Katherine Howard's the dumb slut..and Catherine Parr's just known as the one who got away."

She offered a small smile. "The problem with historical relationships is that people will exaggerate. It sucks, but it happens."

"That reminds me, I haven't asked her yet, but I wanted to tell you too. I'm planning on asking Jane to be Danny's godmother. Tsung didn't want him to have godparents," she frowned. "But as he's gone, he has no more say in the matter."

	"Well then, I shall console myself with knowing that I was, at least, remembered." Henry grinned. "You could do much, much worse for a godparent than Jane. A splendid choice." (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Ganieda had been there--she hadn't moved from her spot beside Sonya the entire time, and had helped as much as she could. As they were patching Sonya up, Gani took the time to splash water on her face and call Sam, and now she was back, knocking on the door before poking her head in. "Are you well?"

	sonya_blade 2009-01-17 10:38 pm UTC (link)
	Sonya tried to sit up before the nurse gave her Danny. "I'm sore, my throat hurts, and I'm tired and sweaty." She offered a small smile. "But we're both healthy besides." Danny looks at her. "Yeah, sweety, I know you didn't have a fun time either." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I'm so glad...and he is such a beautiful boy," she said affectionately. "I am sure you shall be well taken care of here...and if you are not, let me know." Besides spells, she could really bully people...in the nicest possible way. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"I think he's aware of that." She held him closer, fascinated that she should care this much over the offspring of a man she was so close to castrating.

"You've already helped me enough, both as support and when the machine didn't work." She was very grateful for that.

"If you're tired, you can get one of the people to show you a place to sleep." Danny blinked, as though agreeing with her. "I think we're all tired."

	Ganieda snorted. "I shall take up residence in that chair. They may try to move me from that spot, of course. Until then, I think I shall be quite contented." She leaned over Sonya's shoulder, looking at the babe as well. "How long would you like me to stay around?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sonya_blade 2009-01-20 10:23 pm UTC (link)
	She laughed. "Go right on a head, you're just on your own if you get a crick in the neck." "I'll have to stay here for the next two days to make sure nothing bleeds or gets infected. You can go if you like, I'm pretty much rooted to this bed for the next two days, but I'll call you when it's time for me to check out." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mystic_twin 2009-01-20 10:31 pm UTC (link)
	"I'll take that risk." She smiled at her. "I shall stay tonight. They should really make you walk around at some point tomorrow, or it will just be more difficult later...but I will need to go home...so that Sam does not worry too much." (Reply to this) (Parent)
