Chapter 49 baby

Eris's eyes were wide open as she glanced down to see the fatal strike in her chest... her eyes quickly grew dark as she slowly fell over and crashed into the ground.

Steve just barely got off her just in time to keep himself from being crushed by her like he had falling off a collapsing horse.

The two of them took a few breaths as they tried to regain themselves from what just happened; still stunned by the sudden turn and the fact that they accomplished the main goal of why they were who they were: to destroy the Nazi giantess.

Peggy smiled as she took a couple steps to get off Eris, and as she turned off her fire powers, with the adrenaline wearing off, she suddenly doubled over in pain,

unknowing that her water bag broke at the moment she impaled Eris in the heart, and now she's experiencing full-blown contractions. But Peggy only thought when

Eris threatened her earlier before she threw her, Eris must have somehow inflicted venom or something into her skin, and now...

"Peggy...?", Steve looked at her before realizing that something was terribly wrong. "Peggy!", he shouted as he got next to her while she laid down. "Peggy, stay with me, love, stay with me!".

Peggy looked at him with fear and pain in her eyes, "I think Eris poisoned me when she grabbed me...I feel like I'm in so much pain...", before crying out in pain from another full-blown contraction, and

Steve looked horrified and scared as he held her hand, "I'm here, Peggy, please don't leave me!", caressing her hair.

Peggy looked at him, "I don't wanna die.", with a sob, "Please don't go anywhere.", and Steve kissed her lips before looking determined to hold her,

"I ain't leaving you alone. I'm right here.", gently moving her head into his lap, as he wrapped his body around her, squeezing her hand.

Every three minutes, Steve's heart clenched in pain as Peggy cried out, tears falling down her face, unknowing that their unborn daughter is pressing on her hips,

moving through the womb, with the birth canal widening up to let her through slowly and steadily.

As the minutes shortened down, Peggy whimpered, "It's getting really hard to breathe. Can you please open my suit?", and Steve nodded,

"Anything for you, my queen of my heart.", freeing her from her war outfit, pooling around her feet.

"Just... just keep holding on... we'll get Erskine here or something... we'll, we'll find out what happened.",

Steve said as he was starting to panic before he noticed her area around her groin was soaking with her underwear. "Peggy... did you mess yourself?".

"What? No, I know I didn't...", Peggy quickly snapped back as Steve looked a bit closer, "No, wait... I don't think this is urine... I think it's... water?".

Peggy blinked in surprise and confusion when she heard that, and then she remembered her mother's story of her own birth and exhaled in shock and horror as she checked the math, "It's too early.

It's too early...", a sob breaking out, thinking that she's having a miscarriage-labor combination, unknowing that their unborn daughter is already developed to 9 months old, just in the size of 6 months in giant style for she had remained small the entire time,

not wanting to grow up too much suddenly to cause complications to Peggy's body, waiting for her moment to grow once she's outside in the world.

"Too early for what?", Steve asked her as Peggy shook her head. "Steve... I don't think I'm dying... I think I'm giving birth!", she shouted.

Steve's eyes widened in horror and shock, "What?! But...but...wait, Eris...she grabbed you tightly...", his heart breaking, "Can you stop it?".

Peggy shook her head, giving out sobs, "I can't! Please, Steve, get my underwear off...I have to push...I can't keep it inside or I'd have infections...", tears falling.

Steve nodded as he quickly followed that order. He got her underwear off and sure enough, she was already very dilatated, leaving no shadow of a doubt that she was indeed giving birth.

"Yeah, you're right about that...", Steve said as Peggy nodded. "We'll figure out how soon, right now, I just need to get our child out...", Peggy sighed heavily.

Steve kissed her temple, "Breathe, Peggy. I'm so sorry...", for he checked the math as well...It would have been any time from their first time in love making...It's too early...

And the technology is really lackluster in saving pre-mature babies as it's the 40s, and with being a giant baby as he could suspect, in the middle of nowhere, it's bad...

"It's alright, Steve... we didn't know." Peggy admitted as she kept trying to keep calm and was slowly going through the contractions.

Steve nodded heavily, caressing Peggy's shoulders as

Peggy breathed through the contractions in the next few minutes before she felt something dropping in the birth canal, and she took a deep breath, pushing as she cried out in pain.

Steve kissed her temple, squeezing her hand, "That's it, my queen.", watching Peggy take deep breaths, push after contractions,

crying out in pain for the next several minutes before Peggy gasped out as she felt the baby's head emerging, "Steve! It's coming!".

Steve came around her, looking, "I see it! I see hair! Keep going, Peggy!", ripping his cowl off his head to create a nest below Peggy and the baby's head, his hands staying in place to gently hold the head.

Peggy screamed out in pain as she pushed, the head and shoulders passing through, and Steve held the baby immediately, feeling a pulse in the little neck,

"God, it's breathing! Peggy, it's breathing!", tears falling in both happiness and despair, realizing that he and Peggy will only have a few hours with the baby as it's so small in his hands.

Peggy sobbed, feeling the same as she pushed out the legs, and as soon as the baby sensed that she was out, she grew up in Steve's hands,

all the way to 9 months in giant baby size as she then wailed out her first cry of life, clearly alive and fully developed.
