Capítulo 227: New joy

"Listen to your body. Only push when you feel like pushing and when not, take a break to breathe." The midwife instructed. 

Roxana was told not to watch another woman deliver until she had her own child first. Now she understood why. This was frightening and it seemed to never end. She became anxious and tried to hide it to provide support to Angelica. She was beside her the whole time. Angelica's face was flushed and damp with sweat. 

"Good. I see the head now. Push again when you feel like it." 

Angelica took a breath and then when she felt the pain she groaned and pushed. 

Oh, God. Roxana's face was turning pale. When would this end? 

"Well done. The head is out." The midwife cheered. 

Only the head? 

Angelica fell back on her pillow taking a few breaths. "Good, rest and breathe. When you feel the pain again, push." 

Lord Rayven who was already pale was blue instead. Still, he never let go of his wife's hand.
