HUNDRED AND FORTY
They all froze for a second till a felt pain in my stomach and the next thing I knew I was yelling out to them, mostly Sin.
“Don’t just freaking sit there, do something”.
That seemed to have woken them, and everybody stood up from their seat rushing to heaven knows where. Sin was by my side, helping me up from my seat.
“It’s going to be okay Mani, remain calm. How far apart are your contractions.” Amelia asked.
“I’m not sure, but I think 15 minutes apart. ” She makes a sound agreeing with me.
“We need to get her to the hospital so that way we can have more accurate readings” I nod. I took little steps with Sin holding onto my hand.
“we need to get everything you need, I will text Mateo to bring them to the hospital. ” He gave my hand to his mom, bringing out his phone. He typed feverously on his phone.
I felt a hand on my chin, making me look away from Sin. It was Serena, she had a smile on her face which made me relax a little bit.
“follow my lead Mani. ” she instructed and nodded. ” Breathe in. “I did exactly what she said. “Breathe out.” We repeated this process four times, I smiled at her warmly, to let her know I appreciated her effort.
Sin rushed back to my side, his phone strapped back to his suit pocket. ” Mateo is going to meet us at the hospital with everything while Alexander already has the car running. “He kisses my lips. “I can’t wait to see you holding our little princess.”
He helped me outside to where the car was parked with Alexander at the driver’s seat and uncle Carson at his side. Sin helped me get into the car before getting in as well and Alexander drove off, out of the mansion to the hospital. The rest of the family followed behind.
I have been so excited to see him or her but now that it was finally about to happen I felt this fear gripped onto my heart. I have been preparing myself for when the baby arrives but not for the birthing process. But one thing is for sure, couldn’t wait to meet him or her, I placed my hand on my tummy, rubbing it.
It took deep breaths to calm myself and ease the pain, breathing in and out like Serena had taught me a few minutes ago.
When we got to the hospital, Sin got down quickly, rushing to my side. He helped me out of the car and scooped me up, racing into the hospital. We walked into the reception desk to see a nurse there.
“She is in labour, we need to get her a room. ” Sin said. The nurse seemed to be confused for a moment, looking between Sin and I.
“will you get your fucking ass moving, can’t you see that she’s about to give birth. ” Sin spat, glaring at her.
“I should be the one shouting, not you, caveman.” I joked, trying to ease his nerves. His face relaxed a little but he still had a glare directed to the poor nurse.
The nurse hurriedly directed us to a room. It was a nice room, with a couch, TV and fridge inside. Sin walked towards the bed, puts me on it. I felt another contraction hit me and I groaned in pain.
Sin seat beside me, holding onto my hand like his life depended on it. ” It hurts, Nikolai. ” I whispered
“I know amore, but it’s going to be okay. You are doing great. ” He said, pecking my lips. His hand rested on my stomach, rubbing it to help ease the pain.
The rest of the family were waiting inside the room but right now I wasn’t in the mood to talk to anyone or even bother about their presence. The door opened and a Female doctor walked in with a smile on her face.
“Hi Mr and Mrs Violenta. I’m Dianna, Dr. Fernandez had filled me in on your pregnancy report “she comes towards me, checking her time on her wrist watch. “How far are the contractions?”
Sin looked at his wrist watch as Mateo entered with the bag Sin and I had prepared down. ” 10 minutes apart.”
Dianna clapped her hands together looking at Sin and. ” We need you to get you out of the dress and into a comfortable hospital gown” Sin and the rest of the family left the room, leaving only Dr Dianna, a nurse and me. They helped me out of my clothes and into the gown.
” Who would you like to be with you during the delivery.” Dianna asked.
“Nikolai and my aunt” I smile at her.
“Sure love, let’s get you wheeled up to the delivery room. ” The door opened and two male nurses walked in with a gurney. I laid on it and was rolled out of the room.
Sin rushed towards me immediately as they got out of the room, his hand held mine following us, as well as my aunt.
My aunt came to my side, smiling down at me. She held my other hand. ” your parents will be so proud of you, I know l am. ” I smiled.
“I haven’t done anything extraordinary. ”
She brushed the hair off my face. ” of course you are, you are bringing a life to this world, Mani. ”
I was rolled into the delivery room, pulled up and placed on the bed. I held on to Sin’s hand and my aunt as many thoughts clouds my mind. My aunt hummed beside me to keep me calm, while Sin talked to me trying to distract me from the pain of the contractions.
After what seemed like hours, Dianna walked in to check on me again. “The cervix is 5cm, 3 more and you are ready to push. ” I nod, not having the energy to talk.
Sin by this time wasn’t talking again, I may or may not have screamed at him to zip it, because his conversation wasn’t helping. I know he wasn’t mad at me but I still felt bad for lashing out at him when he was only trying to help. I looked over to him, he looked tired, exhausted. My aunt had stopped humming beside me and was struggling to keep her eyes open.
“What’s the time?” I whispered to Sin, not wanting
to wake my aunt up
“5:30Am” he answered, stiffing out a yawn.
” I’m sorry I yelled at you” I said with a timid voice, trying not to focus on the pain.
He shakes his head, looking at me. ” You don’t have to apologize Amore, I don’t know the amount of pain you are going through right now but if shouting at me, bruising my bones with your strong grip helps then I would gladly accept it all.”
I looked at his tired eyes and sighed. ” Why don’t you take a short nap, I will wake you up when it is time”
“There’s no way I’m going to sleep when you are in pain” Sin grumbles out.
“You haven’t slept since yesterday morning, you need rest.” I tried to reason with him but he grumbled some more, refusing to listen to me.
“Don’t worry about me, I will rest when I know you and the baby is okay” I huffed, rolling my eyes at his stubbornness.
The door opened and Dr Dianna walked in again with the same group of nurses three hours later, she checked me and confirmed that I was fully dilated. I woke up my aunt by my side since I was ready to push.
” Okay Mani, I need you to take a deep breath and give me a big push. ” Dianna said. I let out a scream, pushing with all my might. I held on to Sin’s hand tighter than before, I was definitely crushing it with the way I was holding onto him but he didn’t flinch or complain about it.
Instead he brushes my hair, whispering sweet words to my ear making me relax a little. I don’t know how long I kept pushing, but I was beyond exhausted and tired. I almost gave up but the thought of seeing my baby was what kept me going.
“Just a few more Mani, then you will see your baby. Don’t give up. ” Dianna said.
“You are doing great, Amore, don’t give up. ” Sin whispered.
I kept pushing and pushing as much as I could, feeling weak.
“one more Mani, one more. Give us one last big push, you can do it. ”
I did as Dianna had said and pushed really hard before I heard the sound of a baby crying
” It’s a boy” Dianna said, she nodded at Sin and he stood up to meet her, cutting the umbilical cord.
She walks towards me with my son in her hand. ” Mummy, meet little Violenta. He is one healthy boy.” Dianna said, putting the chubby baby boy in my arms and l smiled. He had Sin’s dark hair with his features. I didn’t know the colour of his eyes because they were closed, but he looked so much like Sin. I kissed his forehead, while he calmed down. My aunt was by my side cooing at him, taking a hold of his tiny hand. I looked at Sin who was already back to my side. He looked mesmerized as he watched our little baby boy.
“I guess your little princess is actually a little prince. “I joked and he laughed, rubbing our baby boy’s head.
“I was so sure it was a girl, but I’m happy either way. ” He said, kissing his forehead.” mio piccolo principe, hai messo a dura prova la. mamma ma sono felice che tu sia qui ”
I felt a sharp pain below my tummy, making me scream. My aunt was quick to take the baby from my hold, while I kept on screaming.
” What’s going on doctor. ” Sin asked, worried.
Dr. Dianna looked between my opened legs. ” It seems like there is another baby ready to come out. “She said.
“Another baby, I had no idea I was having twice” i screamed pushing with all my might.
“You’re doing good but I need you to push with everything in you. ” Dianna said and I held on to Sin’s hand. Pushing with everything I had.
” Yes Mani, I can see the head. One more push” i prepare my head mentally and push as hard as I can.Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.
“That’s it Mani, don’t stop. You can do it” I pushed once more and I felt the baby come out of me. I heard a very loud wailing and I raised my head up to see Dianna holding onto another baby.
“It’s a baby girl. ” Dianna said. “Despite being hidden, she is healthy, it seems like her big brother was protecting his little sister. ” she joked, handing the baby to me after Sin cut her umbilical cord.
“She is beautiful. ” My aunt cooed beside me.
“Yeah she is. ” Sin said with a satisfied smile on his face.
“I guess you have your little princess now” I joked.
“I told you, I had a feeling it was a girl. ”
“yeah but we thought it was one baby and now it’s two. Nikolai, are we really ready for not just one but two babies. ” I asked, worried.
” Amore, we may not be ready but I know we are going to do everything we can to love them, protect them and cherish them always.
