Chapter 100
Months later.
Saturday.
Today Rose and Daniel were at home watching a movie in the living room.
As Daniel and Rose had been busy with their companies they didn't have much time for each other this past few months so they decided to just spend the weekend together watching movies to compensate for the times they weren't together.
They sat on the couch cuddling as they watching the newly released movie.
Rose who was now nine months pregnant wasn't feeling too comfortable.
Daniel who noticed her discomfort, cupped her face as he asked, " what's wrong, Rose? Are you feeling pain anywhere? "
" Umm.. a little. My back is aching . " She complained.
" Oh, wait, what if it's almost time for you to give birth? " He said alarmingly.
" Of course not, I will know if it is. " She confidently replied.
" Alright, if you say so. " He held her hands as they continued watching the movie.
In the film they were watching, the female lead was being chased by several kidnappers, as she was a very fast runner she managed to outrun them but when they thought she was going to be safe.
One of the kidnappers suddenly appeared in front of her and hitted her on the head with a Pistol making her pass out.
" No! ... Ouch! " Rose who yelled in fright suddenly broke down in pain.
Daniel immediately became alert seeing this.
" What's going on, Rose? "
" I think... " Then she felt a gush of water underneath her . " My water just broke. " She continued.
" Oh no! What should I do now? "
" Call.. the ambulance... " She stuttered in pain.
" I have. " He said. Luckily he had already sent a message to his Personal Assistant earlier.
" Ouch... It hurts. " Rose wailed in pain, her face was now pale and sweat stained.
" It'll be alright. " He consoled her as he wiped her face with a wet tissue.
" Umm... "
Just then the sound of the ambulance was heard and soon the living room door was opened and the paramedics walked in with a gurney.
They were able to carry Rose and placed her on the Gurney which was later pushed into the Van.
***
City Hospital, VVIP room.
" Waahhh! It hurts! " Rose wailed in pain.
" Please hold on, darling.. it's going to be fine. " Daniel consoled as he held onto her hands.
His face was also pale from fear, he didn't Know that giving birth could be this Painful and seeing Rose in pain made his heart clench in pain.
" Please push with all your might, Madam. " The Gynecologist Urged her.
" I am,...ah! "
Rose pushed with all her might and soon she felt a very sharp pain as something was pushed out of her.
" Ahhh! " She screamed.
" Congratulations, Mr and Mrs Romero. It's a boy. " The Gynecologist said as she held up the child.
As if on cue, the cries of the little baby rang out in the room.
Daniel didn't even hear what she said as all his attention was on Rose who was slowly losing consciousness.
" A boy... " Rose mumbled as she closed her eyes.
" Doctor! What's going on? Why did she lose consciousness! " He said alarmingly.
The middle aged gynecologist smiled at his question before replying, " Don't panic Mr Romero, she's just tired and that's why she fainted. She'll be alright soon. "
" Are you sure? "
" Yes, I am. " She smiled in assurance.
" Um.. can you please leave the room for now? We have to clean the mother and son up. " She said.
" Alright. " Daniel Replied, he released his hands from Rose's tight hold, Bending a little, he pecked her on the forehead lovingly, " Thanks for the Hard work, Honey. "
The nurses present Swooned witnessing the display of affection. They had witnessed many child birth in the past but this was probably the first time they saw a man thanking his wife for giving birth to their child as most men believe that it's the duty of their wife to give birth to children for them.
Some men even have this some sort of belief that Giving birth is the life purpose of every female.

Daniel walked out of the hospital room sluggishly, he was still recovering from the shock and fright he felt when he witnessed Rose in pain.
Then he felt a gentle tap on his shoulders, he looked up and saw Adam smiling at him, " Congratulations, Daniel. You are now a father! " Adam said giving him a brotherly hug.
" Thanks. " Daniel said Replied recovering from his dazed state.
" En . " Adam nodded as he broke the hug and kept a distance from him.
" Congratulations, Uncle Daniel! " Little lucia childish voice rang as she ran towards Daniel.
Daniel Crotched a little and hugged her when she got to him. " Thanks Lucia. " He said ruffling her hair.
" So those that mean I have a little brother now? " She asked cutely.
" Of course. " He smiled.
" Congratulations, on being a father, Daniel. " Lucy said walking towards him and giving him a sisterly hug.
" Thanks, Lucy. "
" Congratulations, CEO Daniel. " Stella who was behind Lucy said with a smile.
" Thank you. "
Then.
" Congratulations on becoming a father, CEO Daniel. Welcome to the gang! " Raymond's playful voice rang as he walked towards them grinning like a fool.
" Thank you. "
" By the way, Uncle Raymond. What do you mean by Welcome to the gang? . Don't tell me that you have a child somewhere but yet still trying to woo my mom into falling for you. " Lucia enquired placing her two hands on her waist.
" Oh no! I am still single alright? and I am also a responsible man, okay? "
" Alright so what were you implying when you said welcome to the gang? . I hope it's not what I am thinking? " She questioned with a raised eyebrow.
" Maybe it's indeed what you are thinking, little Lucia. " He replied with a wink.
" What are you guys talking about? " The clueless Stella asked.
" It's nothing, mom. "
" Okay. "
" * Cough. How is Rose doing now? " Lucy asked changing the topic.
" She fainted earlier but the doctor assured me that she will be fine. " Replied Daniel.
" Alright, that's good. " Lucy Replied with a smile.
