In the morning, all woke up a little confused, before finally realizing the circumstances.
"How's Auntie doing?" ask Yabie to Dean who just woke up too.
Dean reflexively turned to his wife. But it looks like Widuri was sleeping well. Breathing regular. Dean tried to listen to his heartbeat. It's also normal. Face relieved.
"Your aunt is fine. It seemed like he had managed to punish that brat!" dean said funny chuckles.
"Thank God .. finally the aunt can rest and not be in pain anymore" he said.
"You can rest and inform Yoshi, so he doesn't worry!" dean's advice.
"Good, Uncle." Yabie stepped out of the room carefully. Doctor Chandra, Grandpa Kang and the Old Physician, are still soundly asleep. He didn't want to wake them.
An hour later.
Kang and Nastiti came. Seeing the people chatting casually, Nastiti was a bit confused. Didn't Kang say last night that Widuri's condition was bad? How can they relax?
Marianne brought breakfast for everyone. Yabie's wife followed from behind. After listening to Doctor Chandra's story, all was finally relieved. Widuri's gonna be fine. But his birth awaits the day.
"Marianne, you go to Jakarta. Call mama. Widuri wants her delivery accompanied by her mother" said Dr. Chandra.
"Okay, I'll be there!" Marianne nodded. He finished his breakfast first, before leaving.
"But he's not yet human. Does that not matter?" ask Nastiti.
"So Dean had given him breakfast fine porridge, through a feeding tube. I hope he wakes up soon, "doctor Chandra hopes.
Nastiti enters the room. He saw Dean still faithfully sitting next to Widuri's bed.
"Dean, rest. Let me replace you wait for him," persuaded Nastiti.
"It's okay. I'm fine," Dean refused.
"He needs you to stay healthy until delivery. So, don't force your body at the beginning, then collapse when needed later!" nastiti Tegur.
He was trying to be realistic. If Widuri's delivery is still a week away, then Dean will collapse in the next three hearts!
Dean digested Nastiti's words. And that's true. He must save energy to take care of Widuri and her son later. Especially if Widuri keeps going like this. It will take a long struggle for him.
"Okay, I'll rest. Please take care of him!" dean's Message.
Dean walked out of the room, and gathered with the others. His tired inner self relaxed a little.
Two days passed. Widuri finally realized. And it's a relief for everyone. Especially his parents who painstakingly take care of all the needs of Widuri.

Dean was in a small world. He along with Sunil, Robert and Indra finally took the stone from Grandpa Kang's place. Because the stone in the small world stone hill, can not be cut because it contains iron seeds.
The grain milling place was finally finished. They have tested and run a stream of water to turn the wheel. However, the windmill plan was postponed first. Robert looked with satisfaction, the result of the work.
"completed too. And this is the first flour we're grinding here!" sunil is proud.
"alright. I have to clean up and get back in there!" said Dean.
"Oh yeah, Robert, can you go to Jakarta? Astrid asked, how the outcome of the assignment was to contact my family. Check the order of equipment for our hydropower plant!" dean Pinta.
"Well, I'll be there" said Robert.
"May Widuri soon realize yes," said Indra.
"Thank you, In."
Dean stepped up fast. He immediately finished his business in the small world. Then go to Port City.

Morning, the day after Widuri regained consciousness. She complained of bad feelings in her stomach. Dean swiftly called Doctor Chandra who had not left the clinic since Widuri was treated.
Doctor Chandra and Grandpa Kang walked into the room. The two together checked the contents of Widuri. "Can you see the position of the baby's head?" ask Dr. Chandra.
Grandpa Kang looked into Widuri's stomach, as a replacement for the ultrasound machine. "The position of his head has gone down" Grandpa Kang replied.
"Have you got here?" Appoint Doctor Chandra.
"Yes, right there." Grandpa Kang nodded.
"It looks like labor is going to happen today. But this process will be a little painful. I hope you're strong and patient through it." Doctor Chandra spoke to Widuri.
"All right, Doc." Widuri.
"What now?" ask Dean tensely.
"See this clock. Calculate how long it is from contraction to contraction!" Doctor Chandra releases his watch and is handed over to Dean.
Dean quickly marked the timing of the contraction that Widuri had just experienced. "Well, Doc," he said.
"Let me first prepare the need. In the meantime, you can have Yabie deliver your in-laws from the cliff house, over here," advises Dr. Chandra.
Dean nodded. Doctor Chandra came out of the room. Dean informs Yabie that Widuri is about to give birth. Asking him to pick up his in-laws from the cliff house to take them to the Old Physician's place.
"You heard what Dr. Chandra said. We'll have to look at the contraction clock first" Dean smiled, calming Widuri down.
"Let me help you." Dean helps Widuri get out of bed and go to the small room in the back of the room.
Ten hours passed.
The intensity of Widuri's contractions is faster. Dean started panicking. Every time his wife grimaced, took a deep breath and exhaled softly with a face of pain, Dean felt his heart cut open.
"Well, how long is it?" tanyanya is impatient.
"Sabar .. We are preparing all the needs. There's still time" said Dr. Chandra.
"Widuri, don't push! It will tear everywhere if forced!"
Dr. Chandra warned. Then again busy giving instructions to Marianne and Yabie's wife to set the tool table in the right place.
"Dean, I brought you a surprise!" robert shouted from outside the room. He was forbidden to enter, because inside was already full of people.
Dean stands. "I met him first yeah," Dean told Widuri.
"Go away. Let mama accompany him" said his mother Widuri.
Dean's out of the room. "What's wrong?" tanyanya is impatient.
"Look, who's coming with me!" Robert took someone out. Nah! That's four people!
"Dee!" a blonde woman.
"Mom, you are here!" Dean hugged his mother. His father hugged them both.
After hugging, his mother spoke. "Astrid said strange things to me. I can't believe it, but my heart keeps me thinking about it. And this doctor's wife continues to give me understanding. So we decided to come and see you." ¹)

"Honey .. My mom and dad are coming!" dean said with a happy expression.
The whole room was shocked and turned to the door. There was a line of heads, looking into the room.
"Darling? You coming too?" ask Dr. Chandra. But he couldn't hug his wife. He's already wearing his dinner clothes.
"Continue work. I'll wait here" replied Doctor Chandra's wife as she waved her hand. Then he disappeared from the doorway.
"You're a man, you don't have to watch your daughter-in-law give birth. Come out," ⁸) drive her mother Dean away, while pushing her husband away.
Dean's mother showed a friendly smile that she wanted. "May I came in?" ⁹)
Doctor Chandra gave up. "Only one person. And wash your hands first," ¹⁰) he said as he pointed to the water bowl in the corner of the room.
