Nine months she'd been carrying this child, six of those spent in this Time Chamber, this endless white void of a dimension that Cambia and her soon to be born child were about to paint a brand new shade of blood red and pain. "Aaargh!" screamed the demonic Saiyan as she lay on the bed in the house palace thing that they'd been staying in for so long. "Get out already! Get out, get ouaaargh!" she shrieked, her brow dripping with sweat even as she grit her teeth in pain. She'd been like this for the last five hours although to the blonde hybrid it felt like an eternity, and quite honestly was glad that Emi was here with her medical knowledge and supply of drugs, although she cursed her succubus heritage for practically rendering the painkillers null and void.
Cambia wound up shifting into her Demon Heart form out of pure instinct, her canines sharpening to points, her ears lengthening, her pupils narrowed into snake like slits, and her veins blackened across her skin in several places. She let loose another cry of pain as she tried to push the baby out of her, shooting glares at Ayami and Emi each time they tried to say something helpful or reassuring. She didn't mean any of them of course, but her emotions were somewhat flaring quite hot right now, and oh sweet Kami this child was being a right pain in her unmentionables!
She let out another cry of pain, this time her Mastered Power form, or what she liked to call her Saiyan Mode recently kicked in, her body wreathed in a flame like aura, and her visible demonic side vanishing. In the subconscious of her mind, perhaps by going into these stronger forms stage by stage, she may be able to get the baby out faster, although it was putting even more strain on her body to do so. Just as she was about to unconcsiously activate her Full Fledged Demonic form, there was a cry filling the room other than Cambia's own.
As the plaintive cries of the little life reached her ears, the blonde hybrid dropped out of her transformation back into her base form, and lay there panting for a moment. "I-Is... is it okay?" she asked, concern clear in her voice. She held her arms out for her baby, wanting Emi to pass her child to her to hold. As soon as the baby was in her arms, Cambia would look down at the little bundle of life that she had just brought into the world, squirming and crying out for all its worth. She gave a little chuckle, the fatigue clear in her face.
"Hey little," she said, pausing briefly to check the plumbing, "guy~ I'm your mummy... yes, yes I am. Now... what to call you?" Cambia said softly, running a finger across his tiny little cheek, their eyes locking for a moment. She simply held him for a little longer before her head dropped to the side slightly and her eyes closed, her chest rising slowly the only indication to prove that she hadn't just died, that she'd merely just dropped to sleep.
This world curses me because of my blood, then I shall curse and plague it in turn!
That night Emi passed out, Ayami climbed into their bed when the other two were asleep, giving Emi a warm hug, not letting go, she wished she could show better appreciation for how hard the android girl worked, but there was not a lot she could think to do, so instead she settled for just taking care of the Android in what ways she could, mostly her emotions that had blossomed in here...She hoped the android girl would appreciate it, though she wasn't exactly looking for recognition, only to make Emi happy.
Of course, as the nine month limit came to pass for Cambia, Ayami could no longer focus on her training, not yet, anyhow, she had to help Emi with the...Difficulties of childbirth, and what an experience that was...It wasn't one the Water Elemi will forget...unfortunately. it all happened so fast and yet, for all the unpleasantness, it felt so much longer for Ayami. She stood at the bedside, assisting Emi as she called for something, and of course trying to keep Cambia comfortable. Rubbing a wet washcloth over her forehead to keep the sweat off. She was visibly quite pale, however.
She didn't say a word the entire time, instead choosing to let out whimpers of discomfort and fear, Emi was likely the only one remaining calm, but Ayami wouldn't notice for a minute, she herself gave off a cold sweat, the screams of agony, the glares, the uncontrolled transformations, it was...Terrifying to the normally calm Water Elemi. But she was commited to helping, she wanted to assist Emi, and besides, Cambia needed the help just as much. Her death glares only made it harder to keep focused, but she stayed by the bed, not moving away despite it all, she was a trooper, if nothing else could be said about her.
Even despite how poorly she was taking this, part of her hoped Emi was indeed handling it better, somewhat because she was the one in charge of making sure this went smoothly, and yet another part only because she wanted the Android to be happy, she feared her emotions would take quite a hit from this, she didn't know just how fragile they really were, she learned in different ways than the Water Elemi, or most anyone else. Still, she crossed her legs as she stood, trying her best to keep helping, but it almost looked as though she was getting faint, she was feeling dizzy and wobbling a little, and though the task was almost finished, it was proving difficult to continue on like this for her.
But finally the baby...Er...Popped out, so to speak. It seemed to all go well, and despite it all, Cambia was in fact, not dead at the end, a plus side to everything. ... The Water Elemi had passed out, and was falling towards the floor now, however. It was finally too much for her, and she fainted due to the shock of it all, seems...She wasn't entirely ready for such an experience.
It was a highly stressful situation when it was actually time for the baby to come. Emi had give the proper drugs and medication to Cambia to ensure she was alleviated of some of the pain but also had to carefully watch dosage to not risky and complications with the child. She'd set Cambia up on the proper bedding with her legs elevated at the appropriate level to deliver the baby. She perhaps saw... a little more of Cambia then she ever thought she would. But it was still truly a remarkable thing to see and witness and truly be allowed to help with. The delivery and baby coming into the world fresh and new. A new life brought forth for the joy to balance all the chaos and sadness in the universe. For as long as their was always new life there was always a new hope was't there? Emi trying to comfort Cambia through it all as best she could with support and a breathing routine they'd been practicing the last week or so leading up. "It'll be okay. Just breath and focus! Its almost over I promise just a little longer."
Emi cut the cord. She held the child briefly as the first cries echoed out with a thankful sigh leaving her lips to be relieved to hear a healthy strong set of lungs before giving the child quickly to the arms of the tired mother. She smiled seeing the child with its mother moving close to Ayami. Recalling waking to find her not long back when she'd finally been pushed to far to her limits and now they all got to experience this magical miracle together. She took Ayami's hand as they could see Cambia after the worst of it with her baby in her arms. Thanking of a name for her child and truly a mother in love with her new baby boy. Emi making light sounds that turned to a sniffle. A few tears dropping from her eyes as she held Ayami's hand tight overcome truly with emotion for this beautiful scene. "I...Its amazing isn't it... Stuff like this? Its what the universe needs isn't it. Happy mothers and healthy children. Families... Its something we all need isn't it? in some form?" Looking at Ayami after with her violet eyes placing her free hand over her mouth as she tried to stop her tears to no avail. Stifling back her crying as best she could so moved and making little sense at the moment. She didn't seem to know what to say at this moment only this occurrence had clearly had a major impact on her.
As well it seemed this time instead of just learning. She looked to Ayami for some assurance. Some sign on what to do or understand. Wanting to just be near her and crying as if she had no idea why she felt this way or what was the proper thing to do or say. She just cried looking at her and then back to the baby clearly as if the moment had so much happiness it had to be welled up in tears to express it even to the android that was only learning of feelings. "He's lovely isn't he? He's lucky... He really is." She'd say sniffling a bit her hand holding Ayami's so tight as if trying to keep her from drifting or floating away. Like a anchor needing the women she loved to be near for the time.

Okra. Cambia'd settled on the name Okra for her first born son, after thinking hard about what the Saiyans names she'd heard so far had felt like, and in her mind Okra seemed a good fit for her baby boy. First thing she had done after she'd woken up had been to give Emi and Ayami a massive hug, and had told the android in no uncertain terms to take time off for herself. She didn't want Emi to run herself ragged. They'd been in the Time Chamber now for seven months, and in the month that Okra had been born, the blonde hybrid had a complete personality change, or rather was allowed to show off her softer side much more freely in here right now.
To help alleviate their concerns over their food, the demonic Saiyan took to personally feeding her baby, using the logic of that's what they were there for after all. The waste that the baby inevitably produced made for easy target practice that she could handle without straining herself too much. Although she made as much cooing noises, and random sounds to entertain her child, and even though she trusted Ayami and Emi... she was always a little bit possessive of her baby whenever they wanted a turn, the usual excuse of just a few more minutes, or it was feeding time, or it was time for his nap. She was more than happy to hand the baby over though when they wanted a turn with him whenever it came time to change him.
That first month with the baby had everyone sort out their schedules, and some slight rearrangement in order to satisfy the needs of the baby. Cambia kept the baby as close to her as was possible during their sleeps, trying to coincide her sleep cycle with the baby's own naps so that she could get some sleep herself. Looking after a child, even with help, was really exhausting. The demonic Saiyan of course tried to make sure that Emi got enough rest as well, since the android had been doing a lot of work for both her and Ayami, especially in the weeks leading up to Okra's birth. Cambia felt that she had to repay that somehow to Ayami's girlfriend, and the only thing she could think of in this place was to get her to rest up as well... and of course submit to creating any clothing desires that Emi wanted.
The second month after the baby's birth, their eighth of having been in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, and Cambia was starting to thank the gods that she did not have twins. One baby was more than enough work to keep her going! Eating pooping crying machine that he was! A couple weeks after they got into the second month, and the demonic Saiyan discovered a trick that kept her baby quiet and happy, AND also allowed her to get back into shape! Taking him on her laps around the palace strapped to her chest. The rocking motion of her body as she ran, lulled the baby into a state of sleep for the most part, and whilst she ran she was also able to work her body back into proper condition after giving birth.
Her runs also gave Ayami and Emi a chance to relax from baby duty as well, so she tried to make them as long as she could to give the other two a chance to recover and recuperate. Of course, as with everything lately, Okra's needs came first, and whenever he needed to feed, Cambia had to stop training and feed him. It had gotten to the point where she just sat there, head resting in her hand as she watched him get to work. "You done yet? How about now? Any time now." she would often say, and a part of her wondered if the baby was somehow conscious about the whole Hyperbolic Time Chamber rules thing concerning the difference in time zones. It would just be typical for her baby to be milking the time with his feeding... she groaned at the terrible accidental pun, her baby groaning in synch with her.
Cambia narrowed her eyes as she looked down at her baby as he resumed his feed, raising an eyebrow before shaking the thought away. There was no way in hell her baby could read her mind already... was probably more of a mood thing or something. Yes, that was it. Definitely... probably... right? The demonic Saiyan looked back down at her child, her little Okra, and was once again floored by how little she actually knew about babies. She hadn't yet figured out how to read yet, so instead she just told him random stories from her youth, about her old days before she met Atsuko and after she'd left the orphanage, missing out the details of course that she thought a little too much for her baby to hear... which sort of made telling some of her stories a little tricky.
The blonde hybrid turned her attention towards the twin hourglasses that stood on either side of the palace structure, gauging how much time they had been in here for, both in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber's sense as well as the real world's sense. "Eight months we've been here, give or take... so just about fifteen hours. I think." she mused, tilting her head and rubbing the back of her head, muttering to herself. She may not be able to read, but she sort of had numbers figured out. Kind of had to if you wanted to make sure you got your fair cut of a job, or didn't overpay your share of a round. The blonde hybrid looked down at the tiny baby in her arms, smiling softly at his tuft of black hair poking up at her. "What a fifteen hours its been eh Okra?" she cooed softly. "Wait till you meet your Auntie Atsuko out there. You can poop all over her throne as much as you like~" giggled Cambia, tickling her baby and helping to burp him after his feed.
"Yes, yes you can~" she said deftly turning him around as she felt an all too familiar rumble in him that resulted in him spewing a little bit. "Aaand you can do that to her shiny armour as well." the blonde hybrid said of her dark haired child. "But save some of that for your Uncle Nasu as well okay? He's a grumpy bugger and could use some family love he can't get mad at or blow up." the demonic Saiyan smirked, Okra just giggling and gurgling, putting his hand in his mouth for a bit as he lay there in Cambia's arms. Of course, such peaceful days must soon come to an end... for soon the third month of the baby's life was about to commence, and with it, the most excruciating pain any child could possibly imagine at such a young and tender age.
Teething.

This world curses me because of my blood, then I shall curse and plague it in turn!
Ayami smiled through the haze of her sweat and paleness, nodding to all of Emi's questions and holding her close as she had approached, petting her a little. Emi seemed happy to experience this, Ayami personally was just glad to see it finished. She had nothing against Cambia, or her baby obviously, but childbirth...Well... "...I'm glad the two of us can't go through the painful looking parts though, maybe we can just adopt. She hastily suggested, looking...Rather far ahead into their potential future together. Still...Having a kid of their own, even if not by blood...It left quite a few thoughts in her mind. Something to think about for the future, she supposed.
Still, it surprised her, to receive a hug from Cambia as she had. As both of them recieved. She could only smile as she gave the hug back in full. "Congratulations." She could think of fewer words more fitting for right now, none that would get the point across as well. It was quite a happy time for all of them it seemed.
A month passed since then, and her training continued...Somewhat interestingly mixed up, however. With the newcomer "Okra" to take care of...or at least help with taking care of, she wasn't able to constantly train, though when she did, she did so quite fiercely, working her body, her mind, and her spirit to their cores in order to become stronger, to see this all through.
And then yet another month passed, little changed in her routine, she felt herself ready to go back, but it wasn't time yet, she still had to keep training, to better herself even further, it wasn't her time just yet. She had to constantly tell herself this...That she would be ready when the sand dials were finished, not any sooner.
It was a grand experience watching the new mother with her saiyan cub close in arms so often in the day. Emi choosing to give them more space as was needed in the next few weeks as to let them properly bond. But she did find it quite comforting to see them so close. The love of a parent and child was something she didn't quite know how to define when seeing it. She didn't know or ever had the chance to experience such a thing properly herself. If you took it by physical years Emi was just barely out from being a year old herself. So much was new to her and she only reacted so well given her mechanical mind and synthetic advancements over organics.
Although she was moved by the idea of clothes and accepting for a few ideas here and there finding it nice to perhaps have a few different sets of clothing for different occasions. Ayami's borrowed clothes or a few from others occasionally if there was any problem with her normal clothing would be nice. She didn't want to put a unwanted strain on anyone of course.
"I feel if the baby poops on the throne we'll see a reserved anger from the guardian we've yet to see before." Emi would say standing near observing the motherly behavior. The few times Cambia had needed help here and there in the baby care duties Emi had been quick to help. Enjoying the few times she was able to hold the child even when it was a fussy baby at times over the sweet cooing child she preferred. But to her it was amazing in its own right in all ways. She could adjust the pitch of her voice as well to him to the child as if in light lullabies thanks to the artificial vibrations that created her voice in sound. It could create in a sense a perfect pitch of calming relaxing tones through sound. After a few tries it worked splendidly to aid in calming a fussy baby when it was her time to look over said child anytime Cambia need to rest or had other duties momentarily calling her to action.
Emi had tried to hold back some of her worries as they were already deep into the lest stretch of their time here. Ayami had mentioned jokingly in a sense of adoption as a way to jest away from the possible horrific pain of child birth. That in to the girls credit was backed up with even on like Cambia in such strains during the action. It was a miracle something wasn't destroyed and truly something to admire in the girls restraint.
She felt worried still for what was gonna happen when they finally ha to leave this place. When this little bit of freedom was ready to be left behind and return to the world before them. Away from this fairy tale and back into the cruelty of reality. She didn't know what was going to happen and she had no way of connecting to the data base and the ships computer for details here either. It was just a waiting game as she knew it was possible the best time of her life might only be the preemptive joy before something truly sad coming.

The ninth month in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, with a three month old baby was by far the most painful and draining that Cambia had ever suffered through because of a simple thing... her baby's first tooth was coming through. And oh sweet Kami did Okra have a massive set of lungs on him! The swiftly sleep deprived mother could have sworn that she'd almost seen the hourglasses showing the time spent shake from the sheer power of her baby's wailing.
She felt utterly helpless because there wasn't anything she could really do for her child's pain in this place. It seemed that whilst the Chamber was more than equipped to generate sustenance, plumbing and other amenities, it was not capable of producing anything that could soothe her baby's internal pain, or even make something for him to chew on to try and relieve his pain. None of her magic could work that way either, and she'd even tried giving him a reinforced silk hat to chew on, since silk is the softest material around... and it still did not do the trick.
This was true torture, true pain for the blonde hybrid, being incapable of doing anything to help her own baby get through this time in his life. Nothing could have prepared her for this... the only consolation was that Emi had maybe found some kind of solution to the problem with all the medical supplies she'd brought in with her, even though in the end it still amounted to them all having to wait it out for the baby's tooth to settle through.
Ten months now they'd been in the Time Chamber, and Okra had reached four months old... and the teething continued. Improvisation had become the game here now, as they all continued to try and train even with the baby acting up because of his first teeth coming through. The demonic Saiyan had naively hoped that they would all just appear and she could get some proper rest, but sadly not. And with the dwindling supplies, they'd had to try and find alternative methods of easing Okra's pain, from giving him Ayami's finger to suckle on as she practiced her water Elemi powers, to giving him something dense yet soft to chew on which surprisingly enough her swords handle proved quite useful for. Admittedly it wasn't a sure fire solution, none of them were, but it gave them all a chance to try and get some kind of rest as they took it in shifts.
"I am sooo glad that you came on your own. Don't know how we would've coped if you'd brought a brother or sister." she said softly to her sleeping baby one night... day... that was one of the more annoying things about the Hyperbolic Time Chamber. There was no light variation in this place. At all. No matter what time it was in here, it was always the same level of brightness, all the time. It was one of the things she was looking forward to seeing once again when they finally left this place, was the sun, the moon, the stars, the night sky. Hell! Even a breeze or even rain she was going to look forward to! This place was always the same, no difference, no variation. The demonic Saiyan was pretty sure that if she'd come in here by herself, she would have gone completely insane from it all, assuming that she hadn't cracked already a little.
The eleventh month arrived for the group and the demonic Saiyan decided to start pushing herself further and harder than she had before, taking the baby with her on her exercise regimens. It seemed that the constant motion did help to distract her baby from his pain of his teeth, and he'd found something else to put in his mouth to ease it somewhat. Sucking on his own tail. Cambia knew that that was going to be a temporary measure, but for now she'd take it and let him gum on his tail to relieve his toothache. The blonde hybrid wondered sometimes if that was the real reason why Saiyans evolved a tail, to help ease them through their teething days as babies. It certainly made things easier to get herself in shape, better shape than she had been before.
The demonic Saiyan decided to practice on her energy techniques, trying to increase their power as well as testing her limits following her baby's birth. At first they wore her out a little, but as she continued practicing, gathering up more power into her strikes and firing into the distance of the endless void, her body grew once more accustomed to the strains, although they became less of a strain it seemed as time went on. The displays of power seemed to also attract her little Okra's attention, his eyes widening as he watched the deep crimson streaks of light fly through the white sky into the distance. She chuckled a little as she watched his little hands try to replicate what she'd done, as if he was trying to join in with her training. "Maybe when you're a little older~" she cooed, before returning to obliterating her invisible targets.
She did wonder if her blasts ever did manage to actually hit anything, or if they would simply continue to travel through this never ending expanse until they either dissipated of their own accord, or something else happened. The thought that they'd continue to travel in this place deeper and deeper disturbed her a little. Mainly because if this place truly only had the one structure and if this place was a world of its own... then eventually one day the blast could maybe wind up circling back around and hitting someone else in the future. If that were even a possibility in this place.
The final month arrived, and the baby was six months old now. It was soon time for them all to leave the Hyperbolic Time Chamber. Just what lay beyond the door for them back in the real world. Cambia had allowed her hair to grow a little longer than it had been before, and looked over her seventeen year old body, the effects of having giving birth allowing her to grow in some areas, although not as much as a certain Sacred Swords assets. Cambia looked over at Ayami and Emi before rubbing her baby's head as he nestled into her chest in the harness she'd made for him. "Ready to head back?" she asked them all before she made her way for the door. Time to see what had happened in the space of a single day... she doubted very much. I mean, what could have honestly happened in just one day?

This world curses me because of my blood, then I shall curse and plague it in turn!
Ayami trained, she trained almost non-stop for these last few months, these final moments before it was time to leave. She became dedicated, only stopping to help with Okra's tooth problem now and again. Still, it was likely almost commendable how much she was training now, the fatigue set in quite a bit, but at this point, she couldn't stop. Not yet, not until the time in here was up, and as she had been at this for countless months...It could have been any moment for as far as she could tell. Time seemed to grow impossible to differentiate in here after a while, and if like Ayami, you weren't watching the sand dials...
Well, finally it seemed their time here had drawn to a close, the sand dials indicated it had been almost a full day out there, and a full year in here...She stood before the door, silently staring at it.
(End mood music)
The silence weighed down as Cambia asked her question. Ayami closed her eyes, thinking silently. Was she really ready for what was out there? "One." She remained silent for a moment longer. "That's how long it's been out there, correct?" She thought it over silently, like she was lost in that thought of hers. "One day." She looks to Cambia before speaking again. "That's how long Atsuko and the others have been fighting." She wasn't sure what would be waiting for them out there...But she gave a firm nod. "What ever it is, we're going to face it, the two of us. We can protect Emi, and Okra if we have to."
She stood before the door, knowing the next thing she would see would be either moonlight, or sunlight. That much was certain.
Emi may not have heard Ayami's final words to Cambia as it came time to finally leave. But it would have likely only made it that much more harder to consider leaving as it was finally over. The dream and little paradise was about to end as they walk out into the possible storm of chaos and pain that none of them could be truly prepared for. Emi had learned and grown so much. She felt and knew so many things about the world as well what it was to live and love other beings. To see a child's eyes as it looked upon the world for the first time and the equally entrancing view of when a mother looked back into those eyes. To know what love was for someone you'd give everything for even if only pain was returned. Just for a small ounce of happiness you could give them to alleviate their own.
She'd be the last one out and to finally shut the door behind them as she did all she could to only hope they'd be greeted with a salvageable future. But it was hard to say what truly would await them. What had changed if anything had arisen like what was felt before they entered. She knew while great things took time to build.... They didn't always stand so strong after. Rome wasn't built in a day as some might say. But it was sacked in one. She'd smile when Ayami looked her way and bit back her grief when she was out of the eye sight of her two friends and the child she even now cared for as well. Hoping... that whatever lay ahead. They would be fine... for to at least be granted to her for what might come to pass.

Cambia nodded at the pair of them, before looking at the door ahead of them. "If they've made a mess of the place, or blown up the planet I swear I'm going to kick their collective asses even if I have to storm Otherworld to do it." she said with a smirk before opening the door, the light of the outside world shining through, a gentle breeze blowing through that ruffled Okra's hair. The baby blinked and twisted his head around as best he could to try and figure out what this sensation was as his mother stepped out through the door.
