Vladimir leaned down and kissed Daemon's forehead just before his lover fell into a deep slumber, then he pulled his hands away from the mask and left it there secured to Daemon's face as he pulled over a silver table holding surgical tools that he needed. He first drew lines with a black marker along the area that he needed cut and used a surgeon's knife to cut open Daemon's stomach and he used the same tool to cut open the placenta, then he set the knife down on the table and slid his hands inside Daemon to pull out the fully developed infant who didn't immediately cry upon being pulled out. After he cut the umbilical cord and began cleaning the baby, however, the new baby boy let out a few small cries and began crying longer after Vladimir had cleared his airways.
He then laid the baby down on the bed where he could fuss without getting hurt and he closed up Daemon using staples to hold his skin together and cleaned his hands in the sink in the bathroom before returning back to Daemon to remove the gas mask and he shut off the machine. He had awhile until Daemon would awaken, so he picked up the baby boy back into his arms and he sat in the chair at the bedside. Now that he actually was able to get a good look at the boy, he became emotional and was brought to tears as he saw the boy had opened his eyes and was looking right at him. He had one eye that was the same color as Daemon's and the other was the same color as Vladimir's. This was a living piece of both him and Daemon.
"Our baby boy..." he said softly as he continued to stare down at the newborn who was looking around as much as he could in his bundle.
