Sephiroth was aggitated to say the least. He was busy in his office area, and working hard to catch up on things since he had been sick, taken holidays and a break. The people at Junon had decided to test out Sephy’s implants by sending some of his work to the storage deviced on them, and Sephiroth had worked through them in record time. They had taken this for granted and sent him even more work via the implants, with the instructions of getting it all done quickly.

So he had been busy sitting in the office and apparently staring at the wall when Jenna had told him she was in labor. He abandoned what he was doing to be by her side. It didn’t help his aggitation any, however. The entire event of his mate and wife giving birth always concerned him. He had never been properly equipped to take control if there was somehting wrong with the babies. Fortunately that hadn’t happened before… yet. He remained near her side and pulled up a chair to sit beside the bed, reaching out to pat Jenna’s face. He couldn’t really offer much help beyond what he already knew, and the chips feeding him information on how to care for her. He was too nervous and concerned to really follow up on this however.

He sighed and lowered his head, reaching out to pat Jenna’s face.
“If you need anything, let me know. I am here for you.”

Sephiroth: *frowns at the fact she doesn’t want him and nods, leaving the room to find Zack* *”Yes. He can help you through the whole thing.”* *finds Zack on the lower level, who is busy feeding his daughter* Come upstairs. Jenna is giving birth now.

Zack: You don’t sound so enthusiastic about it. Here. *hands Sephy the spoon and can of baby food he was feeding to Meirnden, then wipes his hands off and quickly heads upstairs, walking into the room* How long has it been going on for, mom?

Zack: *nods and moves away into the bathroom area to get Jenna some towels and a cool washcloth. He places the cool washcloth across her forehead and positions the towels between her legs* I’ll be back. I’ll get you some drugs to numb things up a bit. *heads out of the room again*

Zack: *stops in the doorway* Then what do you want me to do? I still have to go away and get my equipment to assist you with.

Zack: He’s downstairs. I made him feed Meirnden. Stay there, I’ll go get some things that will help. *heads out of the room quickly to retrieve his box of medical supplies and medicines from his room. He quickly heads back upstairs and into the room once more, placing the boxes on the bed beside her* I can still give you painkillers. They won’t harm the baby. *picks up the washcloth to turn over on her forehead* Now, a lot of this you can do yourself. I’m going to quickly have a look and see how far along it is, but you can help me out as I go along. Does that sound reasonable?

Zack: *scans Jenna’s belly* It’s still very much alive now, but in a state of sleep and calm. Normally babies are awake and confused when they’re going through the stages of being expelled from the womb. *scratches his head in thought and moves to the foot of the bed so he can spread apart Jenna’s legs and try to get a look at what’s going on*

Zack: *smirks* Oh, I’d actually laugh at his reaction. He shouldn’t be so uptight. This isn’t sexual anyway, entirely medical. *pushes the towel completely under her* You’re fully dialated. You can start pushing in a little bit. *closes his eyes* I’ll tell Sephiroth to come back up here and bring Mei with him. She’ll be a good girl if you keep her occupied.

Zack: Just lie back and stay calm for a while. If it helps, stand up on your knees. The added force of gravity will help ease the baby out. I wish it was more easier than that, but natural birth is always a chore.

Sephiroth: *carries Meirnden into the room, setting her down on the floor* Have I missed anything? *moves to sit down beside Jenna, moving his head down to kiss her on the cheek, loudly purring in an attempt to try and distract her from the pain*

Meirnden: *promptly toddles over to Zack and grabs onto his leg*

Zack: *simply stares at the egg for a few moments, having not expected that at all. He soon comes back to his senses however* Well, that’s… different… *he very carefully picks up the egg and moves it away from Jenna* What the hell am I supposed to do with this thing?

Sephiroth: *purrs down at Jenna* You can rest now… *glances up at Zack and the egg, raising an eyebrow* Clear out one of the cribs. Pick up one of the male infants and place him in the crib with the other one. Then wheel the empty crib back in here so we can build a nest for that egg out of towels. Until then, put it back down! *growls* Do you want to break it?

Zack: *places the egg back down on the bed and promptly runs from the room*

Sephiroth: *growls at Jenna as he is shaken, grasping onto her hands, looking her firmly in the eyes* Calm down. I did not know it was going to be an egg, so do not look at me. It’s alright. We can keep it warm and hatch it. It won’t be a problem.

Zack: *quickly wheels the crib into the room, banging the front left wheel on the doorway before he finally gets it inside. In the corridor, one would be able to hear the loud angry and boisterous cry of the male infant who’s rest was interrupted so Zack could steal the crib. Very soon after, another loud cry begins as the other male is woken up by the noises of his brother* Here, but you’re going to need another one quicksmart. You’re going to have all of them yelling soon.

Sephiroth: *sighs* You just rest for now… *glances down at Meirnden, who is busy pulling at the bootlaces on some of Sephy’s shoes* Zack, put that egg in the crib, then look after your daughter. *snorts and moves out of the room to tend to the upset infants in the room next door*

Zack: *sighs and heads into the bathroom, picking up a wad of towels to arrange in the crib, making a sort of nest shape out of them. He picks up the egg and very carefully places it in the crib* What’s wrong with laying an egg? *begins to slowly heat up the air around the egg, just like he did to incubate Xelong’s egg*

Zack: Mom, sit up and look! It’s already developed enough to make sounds in there. Maybe you weren’t wrong at all. It’s spent all of it’s incubation time in you and it’s nearly ready to hatch. Come see! *impersonates the trilling noise of a mother dragon and continues keeping the air warm around the egg. He rests his arms on the side of the crib and closely watches, fascinated with it*
