Chapter Seven
“Mother fucking son of a bitch, if this pain doesn’t stop I’m gonna kill somebody.” Zoey slumped back against the bed as the contraction eased off.
She was so tired. Sweat coated her body. She felt sticky and gross. And she was tired. So tired. There was nothing peaceful or serene about this. It was messy, and scary, and she really, really wanted it to end.
“I’m sorry, Zoey. I have given you what I can. I cannot risk harming the baby.” Thor patted her hand in sympathy.
The bastard.
What the hell did he know? He had no idea how much pain she was in. How dare he pat her hand as though he knew what she was going through.
“All this damn technology and you guys can’t even work out a way to make birth pain free. Although I suppose it’s not high on your to-do list. Cause you’re men. Fucking men. With penises. A penis caused this. It’s all your penis’s fault.” She glared at Dex. Okay, she was acting like a crazy person. She knew that. But knowing it didn’t mean she could keep the crazy from leaking out.
“I am sorry, my own. This is all my fault.” Dex gave her a pained look.
“Damn right it is.” She gripped his hand. “I’m sorry. I don’t mean any of this. Really. Ahh, it’s starting again. I hate this. I hate this. Crap. Crap. Crap. Please, Thor. I need to push.”
Thor moved between her legs. She was lying on a masic in the medical center. She groaned in pain. Dex ran his hand over her forehead. “You are doing so well, my own. So well.”
She whimpered.
Thor straightened. “All right. We’re ready. Next contraction, Zoey, you push.”
Thank fuck.
Another contraction hit. “Push!”
With a roar, she pushed.

Dex held his tiny baby daughter in his arms. He could not believe that this small, perfect being was his. His and Zoey’s.
He glanced over at his tired mate. Thor was making her more comfortable.
“She is beautiful, my own.” He moved back towards her as Thor gave him a nod. He sat on the bed next to her before handing over their child.
Zoey held the baby, staring down at her. Suddenly she burst into tears. Sharp, raw sobs that sliced him to the bone.
“What is it? What’s wrong?” Was she in pain? Dex scowled at Thor.
“She’s beautiful,” Zoey sobbed.
“She takes after you.”
Her cries grew louder.
“Help her,” he demanded.
“Zoey, are you hurting?” Thor asked.
She stared at him incredulously. “Ahh, yeah, just slightly. Look at the size of her head, I pushed that out of me. By the way, you can now forget everything you saw, got me? You. Saw. Nothing.”
Thor nodded then glanced over at him helplessly. Human women were so different to Zerconian females. Birth hardly pained them and was over with very quickly.
“Zoey? What is it?” he asked.
“I don’t know. I’m just overwhelmed. I waited for her to come for so long. Now she’s here, and she’s beautiful, and I have no idea what I’m doing.”
“That is what worries you? How to care for her?”
Zoey nodded.
