Capítulo 210: The Birth
Ren initially wanted to be in the delivery room with his wife. Many hospitals now support this.
However, he hesitated, fearing that hearing his wife scream in pain might be too much for him. But now, waiting outside the delivery room, he regretted his decision and wished he had gone in with her.
As he paced back and forth outside the delivery room, Ren's parents and Yueyue sat on a nearby bench.
Ren's parents were just as anxious. They genuinely considered Jada as their own daughter.
Seeing Ren pacing around made his already anxious father even more irritated. "Stop pacing! You're making me dizzy. Sit down!"
"Ah, okay!" Though Ren was worried, he listened to his father and plopped down next to Yueyue.
Even while sitting, his leg kept bouncing up and down, and his palms were sweaty.
No, no.
Ren took a deep breath, trying to calm himself by thinking about his manga.
But then he remembered the final scene from *Cells at Work!*, and the connection between childbirth and blood loss painted a terrifying picture in his mind. He imagined the delivery room doors bursting open and a nurse rushing out with a consent form for emergency surgery due to a hemorrhage.
This thought made Ren grip his hands tighter, his body starting to shake.
Yueyue, feeling the bench vibrating, turned to look at her father. Seeing his clenched fists and pale face, she felt like she was seeing a different person.
In her eyes, her dad had never looked like this before.
Thinking for a moment, Yueyue pulled out a small handkerchief and wiped her dad's forehead, then held his large hand with her tiny one, her clear voice offering comfort. "Daddy, don't be scared, don't be scared~~ Daddy, don't be scared~~"
She was trying to comfort her dad.
But soon, Yueyue's voice began to choke up.
When Jada was pregnant, Ren had told Yueyue a lot about what could go wrong, including severe consequences like death, to ensure she didn't bother her mom too much.
Seeing her dad's anxious face and recalling his serious warnings, Yueyue couldn't hold back her tears. "Mommy… will be… okay~~"
Hearing the sobs in Yueyue's voice and her attempts to comfort him, Ren suddenly pinched his thigh, reflecting on his behavior.
What was he doing?
As the head of the family, he should be calm and composed. Instead, he had let his fear affect Yueyue.
Taking a deep breath, Ren hugged Yueyue, gently patting her back. "Don't worry, everything will be fine. Mommy and your little brother or sister will be just fine…"
"See what you did, scaring the poor child," Ren's mom said, giving him a light smack on the head.
Ren chuckled sheepishly, acknowledging his mistake.
At that moment, the sound of a baby crying reached Ren's ears. Although faint, he heard it clearly, as did his parents.
"Is it born?" The three of them stood up, exchanging looks of excitement and concern.
Soon, a nurse emerged holding a baby, confirming their thoughts. She smiled at Ren. "Congratulations, both mother and baby are healthy."
"Is it a boy or a girl?" Ren's father asked, relieved to hear that Jada was safe, but curious about the baby's gender.
"What does it matter?" Ren's mother shot him a look.
"Of course, it matters," he replied, rubbing his hands together.
He loved both boys and girls, but traditional beliefs made him lean slightly towards wanting a grandson.
"It's a boy!"
Ren didn't pay much attention to his parents' bickering. Such exchanges were common between them, just like he and Jada occasionally teased each other.
He happily bent down to lift Yueyue, who had been tugging at his clothes, eager to see her baby brother.
When he saw the baby, Ren's smile faltered for a moment. He knew newborns often didn't look their best, but it was still a surprise.
However, Yueyue, peering at her brother through the swaddle, was quick to comment. "Daddy, he's so ugly!"
The nurse nearby couldn't help but laugh. "Alright, it's too cold out here. You can't look for too long. We need to take the baby to the incubator."
She turned and left with the baby, leaving Ren watching longingly.
Then he patted Yueyue's head. "You looked just like this when you were a baby. Ugly ducklings turn into beautiful swans. See, you were so ugly as a baby, and now you're a pretty little girl!"
"Eh heh heh~~乁(˙ω˙乁)" Yueyue giggled, thrilled by her dad's praise.
Ren then remembered who needed his care the most.
With the doctor's permission, he hurried into the delivery room with Yueyue to see Jada.
Jada was lying in bed, looking exhausted. Hearing the noise, she turned her head slightly.
"Mommy~~"
Yueyue climbed onto the bed.
Ren, seeing Jada's tired face, gently took her hand. "Thank you for your hard work."
Women are naturally more emotional.
She had gone through all that pain not just for herself, but also for her husband.
Hearing his concerned words, Jada felt fulfilled, knowing her efforts were appreciated.
Feeling Ren's care, Jada smiled contentedly and shook her head slightly. "It wasn't hard because you were with me…"
"And I was with you too, Mommy!"
Yueyue chimed in, not wanting to be left out.
"Yes, you too, my little one." Jada ruffled Yueyue's hair.
