From: Donna Eubanks
The weeks passed quickly at Blair House. Soon, Donamarie Blair had grown great with Nicholas' child. It soon would be time for the birth.
As she watches her warlock sleep this night, she begins to worry about the birth. It had been very difficult for her mother to give birth to her two brothers. Her mother nearly died during the second birth.
Donamarie knows she is immortal, and she cannot die. But still, the reminder of the pain she must bear, is leading her to despair.
She can still hear her mothers screams and cries, as if was yesterday. "Oh take me, God, and end this pain, her mother said time and again.
Donamarie was a young teen at that time, she was just becoming a woman. Her mother looked at her with such fear in her eyes and said, "Donamarie, do not ever let a man do this to you! You don't know the pain it will cause you! You will beg for our maker to take you, my daughter, to release you from the pain!" Her mother told her with fear in her eyes, and sweat on her brow.
Then her mother screamed in agony, as the baby tried to come.
Her father paced the ground outside and he prayed for another son.
Donamarie was so frightened, even though the doctor was there. She cried along with her mother, as she labored and screamed and cried.
Finally, Donamarie could take it no more, and she ran outside with her father. "Why did you do this to mother, she asks her father. I think she is going to die! Listen to her screams father! I am so frightened for her!" She cried.
Her father took her in his arms. He kissed her and held her tight. "It's all part of nature, it's what God has planned, to make sure that life goes on. Your mother will be alright." He assured her.
At that moment, they hear a babies cries. The baby had been born to her. It was a baby boy.
*******************
Donamarie looks at Nicholas once more, as tears fill her pretty blue eyes. I don't know if I am strong enough, or brave enough, to give birth to your baby son. What will you think of me when I scream? Will you run outside, as my father did? She thinks with worry and fear.
Her tears become greater and now she sobs. The clock strikes the hour of three.
Oh Nicholas, please be here for me, when baby Nicholas is born. She thinks to herself. I want you here, I need you here, to help me give birth to your son.
She feels the time is very close, and then he will be born. But why am I afraid as I am? I so want to hold him and kiss his sweet little face.
Nicholas awakens from her restlessnes. He hears her great, heartfelt sobbing this night.
He looks into her beautiful blue eyes. He can see they are filled with tears and with fear.
"Donamarie, what is it? Nicholas asks her. Is it the baby? Is it my son?" He asks her.
"Oh please, Nicholas, please do not think I am weak or a child, but I am frightened! I am afraid of what will happen when our baby is born soon. I know he shall be a warlock, but will he be alright? Will I be able to bear the pain, Nicholas?" She asks him in fear. "My mother told me she wanted to die from the pain, Nicholas! She said she wanted to die!"
"My mother told me she wanted to die from the pain Nicholas!" Donamarie says to him. "Please don't be ashamed of me." She tells him.
Nicholas looks at his beautiful wife, with love in
his eyes and his heart. "How could I ever be ashamed of you, my angel. You are
the woman I truly have fallen in love with. You are giving me the greatest gift
of all, Donamarie.
You are giving me a son. He tells her, his dark eyes are sparkling as he speaks.
And our son was conceived through our love." Nicholas reminds her.
Donamarie smiles a radiant smile. "Oh, I shall never forget that, my Nicholas. You have made all my dreams come true. She tells him, smiling.
"Nicholas, how big do you think our baby shall be? She asks in wonder, as she looks at her unborn baby. He looks like he shall be a big, bouncing baby warlock." She says with a soft laugh.
Nicholas still marvels at her beauty! Is it any wonder he chose her to be his bride?
"Yes my angel, he shall be a big baby. Nicholas replies. I will be here to help you through the birth. You shall not be alone. I can even make your labor without pain. I can do that for you, my dear." Nicholas tells her.
"Nicholas, I don't want you to use magic. I have made a decision. I shall labor as other women do, when they give life to their children." She states.
Nicholas kisses her sweetly on her forehead and lips. "You are amazing, my angel. Don't you know that?" He tells her.
*******************
The day passes quickly for the warlock and his angel. It is now four o'clock in the afternoon.
Donamarie has been resting in bed, for she hasn't been able to sleep well for several days. Suddenly, she is awakened by a terrible pain! It is the baby.
The baby Nicholas, is about to be born.
Nicholas is at her side in a moment. "You've felt a pain, Donamarie? Our son is about to be born to us!" Nicholas rejoices to her.
Donamarie smiles nervously at her warlock. "Well, that wasn't so bad. I can do this. " She says to him bravely.
"The pains shall become sharper, the closer it comes
to his birth." Nicholas tells her. "Yes, I know that Nicholas. I am prepared
to deal with it, as all other women do. And I shall bring forth our son." She
tells him with love, and
courage.
******************
As Nicholas predicted, the labor pains kept increasing. The pains were stronger and more frequent than before. Donamarie is beginning to become nervous, but not afraid. Oh how she wants to hold her baby to her breast, and to listen to him softly breathing as he nurses for the first time.
Nicholas tries his best to calm her suffering. He wipes the sweat from her brow, and talks to her calmly. He gently rubs her back as he tells her stories of how truly magical their son shall be.
She is in great pain as she labors. Nicholas is becoming very worried and nervous for his bride.
"Think of it Donamarie. Soon, very soon now, our son shall be born to us. You will hold him in your arms. You shall be able to give him his first kiss, and he shall know just how truly beautiful his mother is!" Nicholas tells her.
'Yes Nicholas. Soon, very soon." She tells him.
*****************
Donamarie has been in labor for hours. She is becoming weak from the labor and pain.
"Donamarie, please...let me take away your pain. Nicholas tells her. You are becoming weak, angel. Please let me help you! " He states with worry.
It is now almost midnight at the house by the sea. Donamarie has been in hard labor for several hours.
She screams and she thrashes in the canopy bed. Rubbing her back and telling her stories do no good now. Baby Nicholas is coming into this world, but he is taking his time and giving his beautiful mother so much pain.
Finally she can bear the pain no more. "Help me. Nicholas, please help me!!" She screams to him, clutching his arms. Her pain is so great that she cuts his arms with her fingernails, as she feels the baby struggling to be born.
She is trying so hard to be brave, for Nicholas! But
it is so hard! It is impossible to do! She hears a loud screaming into the night.
It fills her with terror and fear! To further add to her fears, she realizes
the screams are coming
from her, as baby Nicholas makes his way into the world.
Nicholas places his magical hands upon her womb.
"Push, Donamarie, push!! Nicholas tells her. Your baby is coming angel, for I can see him now! One big push, angel, and Nicholas will be born! Nicholas tells her. Come now, a big push, big, bigger...!!" He coaches her.
And now baby Nicholas is born. They hear his loud cries.! Nicholas cuts the cord, connecting him to his mother.
It is the hour of midnight.
Nicholas is beaming and so proud as he looks at their baby! Donamarie is exhausted, but so happy. She is laughing and crying tears of joy for their son.
Nicholas holds his magical son for Donamarie to see him.
Donamarie bursts into tears as her heart swells with love for their precious baby. She is beaming with laughter as she cries her tears of joy and relief this night.
Nicholas takes their baby son, and begins to bathe him at the sink. He gently bathes his tiny face and body. Little Nicholas has a full head of black hair. Nicholas gently washes the babies hair as Donamarie begs to see her brand new baby.
Nicholas presents their baby to her. He is bathed and wrapped in a very soft blue blanket.
Donamarie holds her baby son for the first time. Tears of love fill her blue eyes, tears of love and joy.
Little Nicholas is such a beautiful baby. He has such a perfect little face. His hair is thick and dark as his fathers. He opens his precious eyes and Donamarie and Nicholas can see his eyes are dark brown as his fathers.
"Nicholas, he is the image of you. She states joyfully. He has your face, your hair and eyes. Now I have two Nicholas' to love!" She states with joy , love, and happiness this night.
Baby Nicholas looks at his beautiful mother and smiles
at her. How amazing to see a newborn smile! Donamarie returns his smile and
she is quite amazed by this. "I told you he is a warlock, my angel. You will
find he can do many
things an ordinary baby cannot." Nicholas tells her.
The baby looks at his powerful father. He looks into his fathers eyes and stares. Instantly he knows his father. The child knows much about his warlock father. He shall learn much more from him as well. The baby smiles at his father as they convey one anothers thoughts to each other. The magical father, and the magical son are together at last.
Suddenly baby Nicholas begins to cry. He puts his tiny fingers into his mouth. He appears very hungry. He turns to his mothers breast in hunger.
Nicholas beams with love and pride as he sees his tiny baby son nursing for the first time. He is a hungry child. He is a magical child.
As the baby feeds this night, for the first time from his mothers breast, he performs a little magic of his own.
Baby Nicholas raises his tiny finger, and suddenly there is a shower of red rose petals and snowflakes.
The rose and snow shower gently falls upon the joyful family.
Beautiful music fills the air as the haunting and romantic melody, "A Kiss From A Rose", begins to fill the bedroom, and in fact, all of Blair House this magical night!
Nicholas is laughing out loud as he witnesses his baby sons magic.
Donamarie is quite amazed by his magic. "Nicholas, our baby knows our love song!" She cries to him in awe.
"That's my baby! That's my son alright!!!" He says as he continues to laugh out loud.
"How marvelous you are, Donamarie!!! How splendid too! You've given me such a magnificent son, angel He is truly a magical son!!" Nicholas exclaims to his bride. "I love you, my angel! "I LOVE YOU!" He says to her as he kisses her sweet ruby lips.
Donamarie replies, "Nicholas, it was you who gave me this wonderful baby. I love you, my Nicholas! I shall love you for always and forever, my darling!!"
"I shall love our baby Nicholas, too." She promises, kissing his sweet little face as he continues to nurse.
******************
Baby Nicholas, the magical son, smiles once again at his mother and his father.
My Baby Warlock
I hold my sweet baby to my breast. I know he is different from the rest.
He is a warlock. He shall do magic. He shall have power and charm.
He looks like his father, he bears his name. You're my first baby, my son.
You were conceived at midnight, and you were born at that time.
Look at your father, how proud he is, as he looks at his image in you.
Some people tell me that I have sinned, to bear a warlocks child.
How can our love ever be a sin, for it is so magical.
My heart is filled with love for you, and for our baby son.
A love like ours can never be wrong, I do not care what they say.
I shall love you forever, and all of our daughters and sons.
Our baby boy is so beautiful, his lashes are thick and dark.
His hair is black as his fathers. His eyes are dark as his.
I am sure he shall love many women, then marry the love of his life.
How wonderful to have a son, who looks like my magical man.
I hold his tiny fingers, and I feel the power in his hand.
I kiss his tiny, beautiful face. A smile appears on his baby face.
