Midnight Hollow, The Ballan Family

The Baby

Autumn clutches her belly as another contraction grips her. She starts breathing the slow controlled breathing that she read about in the baby books. Rafe is wringing his hands and asking "what do I do, what do I do." It seems as if all he read in the books has flown out of his head. The contractions get stronger and come much faster, and Rafe starts coaching her with her breathing and massages her back in between contractions. With one last contraction baby Will is born, named after her father William. He looks like he has his Dad's dark hair and dark skin. (I peeked and he is going to be one handsome guy) He is artistic from Mom and brave from Dad. Autumn snuggles her new babe and then hands him to Rafe so he can start bonding with the baby. When he starts rooting around looking for food Rafe hands him back to Autumn so she can feed him as he is very hungry and sleepy after his birth. "You rest in the rocker with Will for a bit and I will go tell everyone."
