Chapter 3: Pink eyes
In labour, Julia was all covered of sweat. She was praying that this was all over. After 6 hours of contractions, she just wanted to push and deliver her baby. The time came when she was able to push. She was exhausted. Barbie was by her side, trying to help her without really knowing what to do. She was in pain and was crying and screaming. The baby doesn’t show his head. Nothing is changing. Barbie and Julia were alone in the wood without any medical assistance and no phone. Barbie was the only one who could help Julia. ‘’Julia, you have to stop pushing baby!!!! Right now!!!! ‘’ ‘’Why? ‘’Julia’s crying so hard. ‘’Is something wrong? ‘’ ‘’Don’t panic, but yeah something’s wrong. ‘’ ‘’Barbie, make it stop. ‘’ ‘’I’m trying but the baby is not showing his head and the baby is not moving, so I need you to stop everything. ‘’ Julia started to cry and scream again because she needed a doctor or anybody else. This was killing her. Her baby was taking all her energy and if this continues she will die while giving birth to her child. Barbie is standing there thinking of what he could do to help her, but he doesn’t know. One thing he knows is that Julia will die if it doesn’t stop right away. ‘’Julia, listen to me! I’m going to try something. This is going to hurt like hell and will be very uncomfortable for me and for you. I’m going to try to move the baby inside. Sam told me about this thing that he did once in a complicated delivery. Hold on baby, you don’t have any choice. I’m not going to leave you. ‘’ ‘’Ok, come kiss me before, so if I die, I would have kissed you. ‘’ Barbie came over; he kissed her on her lips and on her belly. ‘’Go Barbie, do what you have to do, I can’t stand it anymore. ‘’ ‘’I love you Julia. ‘’ He got ready for the procedure that he was going to do. ‘’Ready, here we go. ‘’ Julia screamed and cried and her feet left the ground and her body moved because of the pain. Barbie had to do it. ‘’Push, Julia, push, push, push!!! Now honey!!! ‘’ ‘’I can’t… ‘’ ‘’Yes you can. You are the only one who can do it. I can’t come and do it, I would if I could. Come on. Big push now!!! ‘’ Julia pushed to hard that she could feel the baby moving inside her. For the first time in 7 hours, something was moving. ‘’I see the head baby, come on, hold on. ‘’ ‘’Can I push now? ‘’ ‘’If you feel like it, then yes, push as hard as you can baby. Bring this baby into the world! ‘’ Barbie said. ‘’another one and the baby will almost be born. Come on! I’ll come beside you, even if I should stay there. ‘’ Barbie put his hands on her belly and she held him so tight while pushing. Barbie went to see if everything was alright, and yes it was. He came back next to Julia and helped her on her last contraction push. Julia screamed and then they heard a cry. Julia felt back and…. ………………………. Suddenly, Julia woke up in her bed without an enormous belly. All sweaty, she sat in her bed and started to cry. She cried so hard that she woke up Barbie, which was sleeping next to her. He sat beside her and held her shoulders. ‘’It’s nothing. Julia, it was just another nightmare… ‘’ ‘’No it wasn’t, it was more than that. It seemed so real this time. ‘’ ‘’Do you see a baby here? ‘’ ‘’No, I know this is crazy. ‘’ ‘’You’re not even showing your belly. You are only 3 and half months pregnant; the baby will be fine and you too. I can guarantee you. ‘’ said Barbie asleep. ‘’I want to believe you but I’m so scared Barbie. ‘’ '’I know, that’s what you tell me every day honey! Now go back to sleep. Come here in my arms, I will protect you no matter what. ‘’ Hours later, Barbie woke up and saw that Julia was still sleeping in his arms. Her fire curly hairs were all over her face. He begun to place them behind her ears and when he finished, he kissed her 3 times in her fragile face. She opened her eyes. ‘’Good morning beautiful creature! How are you feeling? ‘’ ‘’I don’t know, I can’t stop thinking about my nightmare. It was awful Barbie, I could feel everything. It was terrible.’’ ‘’I know how you feel, I had a nightmare like that one day; about you, but that’s a long story. ‘’ ''Could you called Sam? ‘’ ‘’Why, do you want me to call Sam? ’’ ‘’I want him to come do another check on me. I want to be sure that everything is ok. ‘’ ‘’Alright, I’ll call him. ‘’ said desperately Barbie Julia got up and began to get dress. She was there in front of her window looking outside. Suddenly Barbie saw something on her that was different. He wasn’t sure of what it was or what he saw. ‘’Julia? ‘’ '’What? ‘’ ‘’ Look at me for a minute, please. I just want to see something. ‘’ He saw something that he never saw before on anybody. Her eyes were pink just like the egg. ‘’Don’t do anything crazy, but your eyes are pink; just like the egg. ‘’ ‘’ You got to be kidding me. ‘’ She turned around and checked up herself in the closest mirror. ‘’Oh my god, what is that? It’s in my blood too. ‘’ Her veins were oink as well. ‘’How do you feel? ‘’ ‘’Perfect! So I guess this is only the fact that the baby was conceive under the dome. ‘’ At the same time, someone pound at their door. Julia looked to Barbie and told him that she couldn’t go like this. What if it was Joe, Norrie or Carolyn or even worse, his father, Don Barbara? Barbie got out of bed put some clothes on and went to see who it was. ‘’Melanie, what are you doing here? ‘’ ‘’I was just passing through and I thought; why not stopped to see my brother and his gorgeous wife to be? How are you? ‘’ ‘’Dad told you about our wedding… But I think that it’s not really a good time. Weird stuffed happened this morning that even Julia and I don’t understand. ‘’ ‘’Like what? I thought that it was all over since the dome disappeared. ‘’ ‘’We thought to…. ‘’ ‘’Oh hi Melanie… Long-time no see. ‘’ ‘’Julia, are you alright? What happened to your blue eyes? Are you wearing contact lens? ‘’ ‘’No, that’s one of the weird thing of this morning and that’s the other one. ‘’ Julia showed Melanie her arms that she covered with a long sleeved shirt. All her veins were pink. Melanie’s face changed and she wasn’t sure of what it was. ‘’I saw this once in a dream! ‘’ ‘’in a dream or a vision? ‘’ asked Barbie. ‘’A dream, but I don’t know the meaning of it. I saw that the day before the dome disappeared. A woman had this particular symptom. Maybe it was you Julia? I didn’t see her face.’’ ‘’How was she? Was she hurt or in pain or anything else? ‘’ ‘’Actually she was in a wood, alone, waiting for someone to come help her. But yes she was in pain. Why are you asking me this? ‘’ Julia felt the need to sit down. Holding her head with her to hands between her legs, she was looking of air. All panicked, Julia started to shake. Barbie realized why she was asking these questions to Melanie. ‘’Julia, you are going to be ok. Nothing is going to happen to you. I’m here and all our friends are here for you too. ‘’ ‘’They don’t even know that we’re engaged or else. How can they be there for me? ‘’ ‘’What’s going on? I want to know. I want to be there for you Julia. ‘’ ‘’Stay there baby, I’m coming back in a couples of minutes. I need to talk to Melanie. I love you, be brave, take a deep breathe in and relax. ‘’ ‘’We found out 4 days ago that she was pregnant… ‘’ ‘’That’s awesome… ‘’ ‘’It’s not a beautiful fairytale, Mel. I thought it would be but it isn’t. She’s scared and she does nightmare every night and now there’s this. ‘’ ‘’What are you going to do? Ask Sam, maybe he knows. ‘’ ‘’I don’t know what I’m going to do, but for now could you stopped telling her your dreams or stories that could affect her. ‘’ ‘’Totally, I think it will be better for her. She needs to be strong. ‘’ They both got back in the living room. Julia was there, traumatised. Melanie sat next to her; she held Julia’s shoulder and took her head. She said in the ear a Julia ‘’everything will be fine, you’ll be fine. I promise you that nothing will happen to you or your baby. ‘’ Julia hugged Melanie to tight and started to cry on her shoulder. Barbie came on the other side of Julia. Right away, she turned and felt in his arms. He held her close and also promised that nothing will happen to her. ‘’Be strong Julia, don’t let this affect the baby and you. Melanie and I aren’t going anywhere. ‘’ Barbie kissed Julia. He looked over to Melanie, ‘’could you come live with us, in here? ‘’ Melanie shook her head, she will move in with them, to take care of Julia. Two is better than one. Barbie looked over Julia and he told her that it’s maybe time to tell everyone. He proposed to ask everybody to come over for dinner, so they could announce all the news at the same time.
