The Abused Luna's Comeback-Chapter 181 - The Painful Process

[Rose’s P.O.V.]

Four hours had passed and I was still in labor. The contractions were getting more frequent. Before, it would only come about once every half an hour and last only for a few seconds. But now it came about once every six to seven minutes and would last for more than a minute. Then, the intervals shorten to once every four to five minutes and the contractions were starting to last for more than a minute. Honestly speaking, the contractions felt more like they lasted for an hour.

I had overestimated my advantages as a Werewolf of Chaos. Perhaps all mothers were equal, regardless of their race. Each contraction felt like a herd of bison whizzing through the African savannah, stomping hard on the internal organs of my lower abdomen. I didn’t know how long this crushing process would last and my screams forced Susanna to use her magic to set up a sound barrier for me.

“Baldwin, is everything okay?” asked Edward as he kept wiping the sweat off my face. And despite how terrible I must have looked, he never hesitated to plant kisses on my forehead to comfort me.

“Everything is fine, Alpha,” said Dr. Baldwin after he applied gel on my belly and examined the baby with an ultrasound machine. F*ck, I was starting to wish that he had applied the gel all over my body because it felt so good. The gel felt as if it was cooling down the fever of the pain I was feeling.

Then, another contraction came and I cursed through my screams again. Tears of pain rolled down my cheeks as I squeezed Edward’s elbow like crazy. I knew that he was strong but after I pinched him a million times, I felt like I was going to break his bones. But the blessed man simply gave me soft kisses in return, saying that he’d continue even if I broke his bones a hundred times over.

“The contractions are now less than three minutes apart!” Dr. Baldwin shouted. I could no longer pay attention to the time. I could only feel my sweat-soaked hair stick to my face. My eyes felt as if they were about to pop out of the sockets due to the pain. I had clenched my jaws together so hard that I wouldn’t be surprised if my teeth were crushed from all that pressure.

“Luna, when I need you to exert your strength, your knees and arms need to be facing outwards. Try not to clamp your arms and shrug your shoulders. Don’t inhale too deeply, and when you exhale, blow out slowly like blowing out a candle.”

“Alright, alright!! F*ck!!”

This continued for a while for about an hour or two. Other than the intense pain, I felt like I wanted to defecate each time. I could also feel my little wolf moving down bit by bit, but when the contractions ended, he would inch back to where he was.

Dr. Baldwin continued to time my contractions until the intervals were less than a minute. Then, he reached his hand into my robe and I suddenly felt a burning pain spread through my lower body.

“Luna, it’s time. I can feel the wolf’s head!” Dr. Baldwin then turned to Edward and said, “Alpha, please support her with all the pillows and cushions behind her. Also, make sure Luna’s legs continue to open wide, no matter what she says.”

“Okay, Baldwin.”

I felt as if my buttocks had left the mattress as I used all my strength to inhale through my nose and exhale through my mouth. I felt like collapsing, but my child wasn’t out yet.

“Luna, try to exert as much strength as you can during each contraction, okay? But when the contractions stop, don’t try again.”

I nodded. When the contractions came, I followed Dr. Baldwin’s instructions and tried to exert as much strength as I could, but my mind had turned completely blank.

[Edward’s P.O.V.]

Rose had been in labor for hours and seemed to be in great pain. Even though I felt pain whenever she squeezed my arm, I was sure that the pain in my arm was less than one-hundredth of what she was feeling. 𝒇𝐫ℯ𝑒𝒘ℯ𝑏n𝑜ѵ𝐞l.c𝗼𝗺

“Luna, use more strength! We’re almost there!” Dr. Baldwin shouted.

“I can’t do it anymore!!” My partner cried and shouted.

“Baby, you can do it. You’re the bravest she-wolf I know. Our baby is working hard with you. I love you, forever.” She nodded as I kissed away the tears on her face. Then, I felt her push again. Her red face turned even redder with each push.

Soon, Rose collapsed back down again, growing more exhausted each time. Just as I wanted to make sure she was okay, I heard the most beautiful sound in the world – the sound of a baby crying.

“Alpha, are you willing to accept this great honor that belongs to you?”

I turned around and saw Dr. Baldwin holding the umbilical cord and a pair of scissors. I put on my gloves and quickly cut the umbilical cord.

“Alpha, Luna, I express my most sincere congratulations and respect. You are now parents to a beautiful baby boy.”ƒ𝑟𝙚e𝔀𝗲𝒃n𝒐𝘷𝗲Ɩ.c𝗼𝚖
