Evenly's labor went on for so long that Angel began to grow scared, her screams and groans making him believe she was in intense pain. But no matter what, he didn't move closer, remembering that Evenly had told him to stay back, that she would be fine. When he called her name in worry, she reassured him to remain where he was. Hours passed, and Angel finally lowered himself to sit against the door, knees pulled to his chest, still expecting his father to arrive from that direction with his mother and baby sibling.
After long moments filled with her cries, Angel heard the loud wailing of a baby. His eyes widened as he looked toward the sound, knowing immediately that Enny's baby had indeed arrived.
Evenly had never expected to go into labor when she was still a month away from her due date. But now, knowing she was no longer human but a vampire, she understood that the process would be different.
