Vera looked at Jason with wide eyes, watching him fight to get away from Carter all the way up until he was pulled from the room. Chad seemed unaffected, however, concentrating on Vera and the baby. He knew that Jason was just trying to protect the woman, who's screams were confusing his instincts. Not only that, but he wasn't too worried. Carter was quite strong, and he was just as protective of a Chad as Jason was of Vera. Carter was the first of the mutts that Jason rescued, and he did it when Carter was only fourteen years old. Because of that, Carter was forever grateful.
Looking up at Schuyler, Vera nodded and took his hand, squeezing each time she pushed. His presence was comforting, but that didn't help the fact that she was in a terrible amount of pain, and her lover was losing his mind downstairs...
Two hours later, Vera's screams finally ceased, and a baby's soft cries could be heard. Chad smiled as he cleaned the child up and handed it to Vera before going about cleaning the mess around them, replacing her blankets with clean ones. He turned to Schuyler and sighed with relief, happy that things ended up going smoothly. "Go tell Jason they are both fine," he murmured, "Make sure he's calm before allowing him upstairs."
Vera was in awe of the child in her arms. The beautiful seven pound baby had a thick sweep of her mother's natural blond hair, and the same color eyes as Jason. It apparently was true - whatever DNA she shared with Vera's brother in law, it was replaced with Jason's DNA, and it was clear in the baby's appearance... And Good Lord, Vera was sure that she was a little angel. How else could a baby be this gorgeous?
Leaning down, she kissed the baby and wrapped her up in a warm blanket.
