cartoons gave me psychological damage

"Just hold on a little longer, Mimi."

"AHH! Celine, if you tell me to hold on one more time I am going to tear your heart out!" Miyeong screamed, "AHHH!"

From the door, two doctors stepped inside with enough rush in their steps that told Celine and Eun Ji that they understood the severity of the situation but were trying hard not to scare Miyeong. One of the doctors went to check over Miyeong's monitors while the other came to the end of the bed with a warm smile on her face.

"What's going on?"

"AHHH!" Miyeong screamed, bracing against her legs, "ONE OF YOU IDIOTS TELL HER!"

"I'll go." Eun Ji whispered, "We were performing about an hour ago but halfway through one of our songs, she started having stomach cramps and they've been getting worse and worse over the past hour." The lyricst explained.

"Have you three done any tours in any foreign countries or eaten or drank anything out of the ordinary?" The doctor asked.

"No." Eun Ji shook her head, "We've only been in Korea the past year and we all eat and drink pretty much the same stuff."

"Alright. You said her stomach cramps have gotten worse as time has gone on?"

"Yes. They started light she told us, like she thought she could finish the concert, but they started to get really bad to the point that she said she's struggling to walk upright and..." Eun Ji winced as Miyeong nearly broke Celine's hand in her own, "she's in a lot of pain."

"I think I might know what we're looking at but I need to see something. Ryu-ssi, I need you to put your legs right up here, okay?"

"Okay." Miyeong did as she was told but she winced and whimpered through it. The pain building up so much that she struggled to do much beyond holding Celine's hand and listening to the doctor, "What-What's wrong?"

"Well...yup. That's what I thought." The doctor nodded, "Park, get Kim in here for the delivery." The doctor who had been checking Miyeong's vitals nodded and rushed out of the room.

"DELIVERY!?!" The three singers screamed.

"Yes, your baby is coming, Ryu-ssi."

"I--I--I'M NOT PREGNANT!" Miyeong screamed, "I can't be pregnant! I don't---I mean I didn't even..."

"There's been no signs that she's pregnant!" Celine cried.

"Actually..." Miyeong winced, "Maybe there's been one or two."

"Mimi!"

"I'm sorry! But with the world tour and everything, I was so focused on that I guess I didn't notice!" Miyeong yelled.

"How could you not notice!?" Eun Ji snapped.

"I'm already going through childbirth! Aren't I suffering enough without you two yelling at me!?" She screamed.

"You seem to have what's called a cryptic pregnancy. It's when mothers don't realize that they're pregnant. We can talk about it more later but, at the moment, you're going to have to push." The doctor told her, keeping her voice low but calm and steady, "Do you want these two to stay or leave?"

"Stay. They stay." Miyeong quickly told her as her arms wrapped around Eun Ji and Celine.

"We're not going anywhere, Mimi." Eun Ji whispered, "We're right here."

"Push! Push!" Park and Kim both entered the room less than a second later to aid in the delivery.

"AHHH!"

A good amount of painful pushing later and a new scream filled the room.

A baby's scream.

The doctor was quick to wrap the baby up before setting her down on Miyeong, guiding the singers hand so that she was holding the baby steady.

"She looks perfect." The doctor whispered, "We'll have to run more tests but I'd say you have a beautiful and very healthy baby girl."

"Baby girl." Miyeong whispered, "I have a daughter."

"We'll step outside and give you three some privacy but we do have to come back very soon to take the baby for some tests."

Miyeong was hardly listening to her. Her mind was too focused on the tiny baby girl snuggled against her body. The baby she didn't even know she was having until fifteen minutes ago. She looked perfect just as the doctor had said. A little red but that was normal and her hair was a kind of light almost purplish color which Miyeong reasoned would darken as she got older.

"You have a daughter." Celine whispered.

"Wait!" Eun Ji's eyes suddenly widened, "That old boyfriend of yours! Is he...?"

"He has to be the dad." Miyeong nodded, "I haven't seen him in months but there's no other options."

Celine nodded, "You gotta call him, Mimi. It's going to be a legal hell but he has a right to know he has a baby." No doubt he'd try to get some kind of money out of this whole situation since this was his kid but they could let legal settle any kind of child custody issues this guy wanted to bring forward.

"You're right. I'll try to find his number and contact him once we're out of the hospital but...I really just can't think of anything else right now but her. How did I not realize I was pregnant?" Miyeong pushed herself against her pillow.

"It's okay. That doesn't matter right now. All that matters is you and the baby." Eun Ji told her, "So don't you worry about a thing except her and let us handle everything else for you."

"That would be great because...I honestly can't deal with any more surprises or stress at the moment." The baby began to let out a quiet whine as she opened her mouth to scream but nothing came out, "Hey. Sweetie? Are you okay?"

"Oh! I've seen this with my nephew. She just needs to burp." Celine told her, "Place her over your shoulder and pat her back." Miyeong followed Celine's instructions as best she could patting on her baby's back until she heard the tiny noise.

"First big challenge of motherhood complete." Eun Ji chuckled.

"Glad to know I can successfully burp a baby." Miyeong laughed, "Now what about the other 100 challenges of motherhood."

"We'll figure that out as we go."

"Brilliant parenting strategy."

Celine, breaking away from the laugh, noticed the baby opening her mouth again, "Oh. I think she needs another pat."

Miyeong patted the baby's back once more, attempting to copy how she'd done so before so that she didn't accidentally hurt the baby trying something new. However, instead of a tiny bit of air coming from the baby, a small spark of purple, pink and blue flames came out instead.

"Did she just burp flames?" Eun Ji asked.

"What!?" Miyeong pulled the baby back.

"Flames that looked exactly like Gwi Ma's." Celine added, staring down at the newborn, "Miyeong, move her blanket."

"What--"

"Move the blanket. Check her arms."

Patterns.

Tiny and contained but clear as day purple demon patterns on her arm.
