Hex got off the couch and walked to his room. He smiled as he picked up the tux sitting on his bed. He had to have it special made due to his condition. He touched his stomach and smiled as his baby acted up. “Soon baby, soon we’ll see daddy again.” The father of his child was taking him to prom. In an hour Blake would be there to pick him up. He still has to shower and get dressed up. This is probably the last fun he will have for a while. Hex is 2 weeks away from his due date. He figured that once the baby is born he will be stuck home every day.

Hex went into the bathroom and turned on the shower. He stripped as the water heated. He walked under the hot spray and the baby went into a kicking fit like it did each time he got into the shower. He put a hand over a tiny foot that could be seen pushing against his skin. He smiled and started to wash. He laughed when he washed his belly. Each time he rubbed the soap over his stomach the baby would follow his hand. “Alright honey relax, we can’t play right now.” He rinsed off and got out of the shower. He wrapped the towel around his waist and sighed cause he had to hold it up. Ever since his 8th month the towel could no longer be tied in place.

The doorbell rang and he sighed. He walked to the door leaving a trail of wet footprints on the floor. He looked through the peephole and smiled when he saw Blake. He stepped back and opened the door. Blake stood there in a black tux. He had a single white rose in a plastic container. He looked Hex over. “Lose track of time?” Hex shook his head as he let Blake in. “Then what?”

Hex hugged Blake. “You try washing a body as big as mine and you’ll be late too.” Blake smiled and put his hand on Hex’s stomach. Hex put his hand over Blake’s. “The baby missed you; it knew you were coming over today.”

Blake smiled and kneeled. “Our smart little baby.” he kissed Hex’s stomach. “Hi honey. I love you. Were you good for mommy?” The baby kicked at his hand. Blake frowned when he felt the muscles over his child tense up. He looked at Hex. “Did you feel that?”

“Feel what?” Hex looked confused.

“I think you’re having Braxton Hicks contractions. I just felt the muscles round the baby tense. You feeling ok?” Hex nodded. “You sure? If you’re not feeling well we can skip this.”

Hex waved it away. “No I’m fine; I didn’t feel anything except the baby kick your hand when you talked to it. I swear.” Blake nodded and stood to his full height. He leaned into Hex and kissed him. “I love you Blake, co much.” He kissed Blake again. “Well you relax I’m gonna put my tux on ok?” Blake nodded and Hex went to his room. When he was out of hearing distance of Blake he rubbed his stomach. “You’re a bad baby, tonight is special and you’re not ruining it for me.”

He set the towel on the bed and started to dress. He’d just pulled on his pants when his body contracted again. He leaned against the bed and waited for it to pass. He didn’t tell Blake but he had felt the contraction earlier. He’d been feeling them all day, he knew this was it cause over the course of the day they got closer and stronger. As of late they were not that strong but they were annoying. He pulled on his shirt and jacket. He buttoned it and smiled at how well it fit. He looked at himself in the mirror. “We look stunning kid.” He rubbed his stomach.

Blake turned when he heard Hex coming. He smiled when he saw he in his specially made tux. He tried not to laugh when he noticed Hex was wearing black sneakers. “You look adorable Hex.” Hex blushed. “Come here; let me put your flower in the lapel.” Hex nodded and walked over. He stood still as Blake put the white rose in the lapel of his tux. “Absolutely stunning, and the belly makes you adorable.” He kissed Hex again. “Ready now?” Hex nodded and they left.

~3 Hours Later~

As the hours passed the contractions got stronger but Hex still ignored them wanting to enjoy his last moment of normalcy before the baby was born. Hex and Blake were out on the dance floor slow dancing when Hex felt something shift inside him. He groaned as a contraction ripped through him and his water broke. He felt unbearable pressure in his birth canal. Blake tried to get his attention. “Hex honey, talk to me. Are you ok?” Hex said nothing but led Blake to the bathroom.

Blake tried to talk again. Hex put a finger on Blake’s lips. “I’ve been having contractions all day alright. That was the strongest so far and yeah my water just broke. But now you need to get a teacher cause I need to push. The baby is coming right now.” he groaned again. He leaned on the sink. “Go dammit!” Blake ran out and he tried to keep his cool. A few seconds later Blake ran back in with a teacher.

“Hex what’s going on?” Hex sighed angrily that either Blake didn’t explain or the teacher was a dumb ass. He explained as fast as possible. He screamed as another contraction pushed the baby down farther. He unbuttoned his pants and Blake immediately helped him remove them. Then Blake helped him to the floor. The teacher kneeled between Hex’s legs. “Push Hex, push hard.” Hex pushed as hard as he could. He felt the baby go farther down towards the world. He let out a curse. “Good Hex, do it again.” Blake massaged Hex’s back as well as he could.

As Hex pushed again he felt a burning sensation in his anus. He knew his baby was crowning. He winced as he tried to breathe. “Oh crap, it hurts so much Blake!” Blake kissed Hex’s neck. “Get it out, please.”

“We can’t unless you push Hex. Now push!” Hex pushed with some encouraging words from his teacher. There was a pop as the head came out. Hex took deep breaths as the teacher made sure there wasn’t a cord around the neck. He told Hex to push again. As Hex pushed he felt the urge to scream but stayed quiet. The burning got worse as the shoulders passed. Once the baby was out he leaned back against Blake. He didn’t even notice Blake give the teacher his coat to keep the baby warm. “Blake you have your phone?” Blake nodded. “Call for an ambulance.”

Hex looked at his baby. “Is it ok? Why isn’t it crying?”

“Relax Hex, she’s fine. She is breathing and doing just fine.” The teacher handed Hex his daughter as Blake put his phone back in his pocket.

Hex smiled at his daughter. “Hi.” He felt tears come to his eyes. “You’re gorgeous.” He smiled as Blake touched his daughter’s cheek. He saw the red carnation on the lapel. “Let’s name her Rouge.” Blake kissed the mother of his child as they heard the ambulance pull into the school parking lot. The teacher left them as he went to get to paramedics. “Hi Rouge. So you had to be born on prom night didn’t you? You couldn’t wait til after or maybe til tomorrow?”

Rouge looked at him and he kissed her cheek. The paramedics came in and cut the cord that connected himself and his daughter. Rouge was wrapped in a blanket and handed to Blake as the paramedics helped Hex onto the stretcher. After strapping him down Blake handed Rouge to him. Hex was pushed out of the bathroom and into the gym. He blushed as a round of applause and cheers could be heard. He held his daughter tighter as she fussed over the new sounds. He was loaded into the ambulance and Blake followed not far behind in his car.
