Labor pains

Rosa's world had been like a whirlwind the last few months. Full of highs and a few lows that nearly crushed her very being. Today was one of the highs. The red head stood in a brand new home Abel had bought for them beyond the protection of Hy-Brasil or her grandma Des' lands. But she had no worries of being away from home, Abel being a fallen angel would always protect her and their growing family.
Blue orbs examined her vacant home, furnished only with a bed. But the furniture they selected together would be arriving in a day or so, including the furniture for little Jacobs room. She tried figuring out where she would strategically place each piece, letting her now clearer visions view the room with each piece. Even if not physically. With a swipe of her hand she wiped away each vision she didn't like, like an eraser for a dry erase board. Starting fresh each time till she found each piece of furniture it's permanent dwelling. Or until she decided to rearrange down the line. Which by her calculations every few weeks. Rosa had even done so in her own bedroom growing up, the room would always be switched around.
From room to room Rosa walked planning out her new home. Each puzzle piece of her life falling perfectly into place around her. A new home, baby due any day and an upcoming wedding. Reaching little Jacobs room her smile brightened. She could already envision holding him, rocking him and all her other motherly actions. But her visions never included a face, because she couldn't see what his true identity was. Her powers didn't work that way.
Rosa stood peering around the room when out of the blue, a band of pain contracted around her heavy stomach. Such a sharp shock of pain that nearly dropped her to her knees. Her prisms took her visions of decorating to childbirth. Tiny hands clung to the door frame, her knuckles white from her tight grip. The intense shock wave of pain washed away, leaving her panting. Rosa was frightened for the first time ever. Abel had gone to Hy-Brasil to check on matters there, while she declined to stay home. Her mommy was off galavanting, as she should. Soon she began to relax, when the pain no longer existed.
Rosa worked her way down to their bedroom and sprawled out over their bed. However as soon as she found comfort a second wave of pain struck her like a knife had sliced circles around her midsection. She rolled to her side and reached out a shaky hand for the keys to the truck parked outside. Panting like she ran a marathon, she step by step climbed the stairs. "Hold only little Jacob. Not yet. Please not yet. I can't do this alone." Rosa couldn't, if a drop of blood from cutting the umbilical cord touched her, Rosa would die. Abel being a fallen angel, his blood toxic to the redhead, also coursed through the veins of her unborn. But who would know this? She herself only recently learned of what Abels blood would do to her, when she finally freed her demoness.
Rosa climbed into the truck, shaky hands twisted the ignition causing it to roar to life. Shifting into reverse she backed out cautiously then shifted into drive, racing towards Hy-Brasil. Every time a breathtaking pain took hold of her stomach the truck swerved all over the road, and tears blurred her vision and her prisms. Her fists squeezing the steering wheel so tight her slender fingers ached. Turn by turn the roads carried her home, now was the only time she had her families fancy powers. Teleportation. Rosa was only give the ability to take life and give life, as well as her visions of calculations.
"Argh!" Rosa cried out with the next wave, this one harsher than before and their coming closer together. The truck swerved off the road, jerking the wheel she managed to find blacktop once more.
"The gates! There they are. Hang in little Jacob almost to daddy." She spoke to her unborn, but more so to console herself. Rosa slammed her hand against the horn as she approached. Guards taking a protective stance until realizing the princess in the truck Abel had once before driven into Hy-Brasil to get their belongings. The gates opened and she stomped the petal, roaring up the drive. Clouds of dust billowing behind the vehicle. She slammed the breaks sending the truck into a sideways slide, only coming to a stop when the tail end rammed into the steps. Surely the vibrations alerted everyone inside something struck the castle.
Rosa didn't even bother turning off the engine before spilling herself out onto the ground. Wobbly legs carried the princess up the cracked steps where servants rushed to her aide. Just in the nick of time too, her legs had given out. Pain radiated throughout her stomach and back that had her crying. Her dragons flew from out of nowhere, blocking the front doors and the servants from carrying her inside. Protectively the stood squawking and throwing flames. One no bigger than the palm of her hand the other the size of a large dog. "Go to my room and stay put!" Rosa shouted a them, but they did not budge. She shook the servants from her arms and forced an upright stance. "I said now!" A snarl ripped from her throat and this time they obeyed. The servants snatched her up again and carted her off inside...
