"Thanks for the encouragement..." I say. I still don't know how I'm going to do this, but with Helene around it should help. "I'm still trying to decide what to name it... I was thinking Vissarion if it's a boy. It reminds me of Lubimi's name, or Nadyenka if it's a girl, after Mischa's name."

"I think he would love for his child to be named that. Vissarion. That is a strong name. A name of a charmer and fighter. Of a lover and a heartbreaker. He would make a great son." Helene replies with a smile.
She checks Zero again and finds she is fully dialated. "Okay, Zero. Are you ready to push?"

"Yeah, I..." I start to say, but my body is already a step ahead of me. The pain is intense, but still not unbearable. "Just... like... that?" I ask.

"Yeah, thats good Zero. Keep pushing." Helene says encouragingly. It looks weird and disgusting but natural. Soon, the baby head starts to crown. Helene grabs it around the neck to make sure the cord isn't wrapped around.
"Okay, one more push and your baby will be here."

"Okay...." I say with a gasp. Now the pain is truly intense, and I push down with all my strength.

That push was strong, because Zero's baby boy burst into the world. Yelling. Loudly. And just like they did to me at the hospital, Helene puts the baby on her chest. Its completely messy. And did I mention he was yelling loudly."Say hello to your son, Zero." I manages over the baby. I want to wait till the cord stops pulsing, so she won't have to feed him for while.

I smile and sit up to see my son for the first time. Normally the crying would annoy me, but right now I'm too happy to notice. I wrap the baby up in a towel and gentry dry his face, and then kiss his forehead. "Hello Vissarion... Nice to meet you..." I whisper to him.

Helene ties the cord off and cuts it, careful to not cut Vissarion's vitals. Once that is done, she takes the afterbirth and the cord and puts it in a bag to be buried later. "Oh, he is adorable."

"He looks like his father, though he has my eyes..." I say as I cradle him in my arms. Gradually he quiets down as I rock him gently. "I do feel strange though. I'm just glad this is all over with, but I also feel... excited."

"First time mother feelings. You'll get used to it." Helene replies. She feels older, like a grandmother or something. "Too bad we couldn't have a babyshower. Maybe later, I'll go get a craddle and some other baby things."

"What's a... baby shower?" I ask, since I honestly don't know.

"When friends give you gifts for the baby." Helene replies slowly. Wow, Zero honestly knows nothing. Gee, that is scary.
"I have a lot to teach you, young one. First and foremost, how to wash Vissarion. But that can wait till after you get some rest. Do you want me to take him while you sleep?"

"Yes, thanks..." I say. I carefully hand Vissarion to her, and say "I never expected any of this to happen, so I never bothered learning about it. Maybe I should've..." I say. I lay down and pull the blanket over myself.

"Well, Zero, your about to get a crash course." Helene whispers, so she doesn't distrub the baby. He is adorable, even downright sexy, if thats how you can describe a baby. "Your going to be so much better than us."
Vissarion replies with a yawn.

I nod and close my eyes. "Well I'd be lost without you... You don't know how much I appreciate your help..."
