THE HEIR'S BEDMATE
ExtraParts. Welcome to you, Boy.

Edward who had calmed down earlier, because he had been armed with a lot of knowledge from obstetricians and also the internet, suddenly panicked when on the way to the hospital, the wife's membranes completely broke.

The sense of calm that he showed, not because he had experience with women giving birth. Except because he learned it himself. Preparing everything, because the wife was young, she was afraid that the woman was experiencing stress.

It used to be when Felisha gave birth, unlike today. Because the twin sister, gave birth prematurely, it was also by the process of surgery, not giving birth normally.

“Pak, can't it be faster? My wife's membranes have broken. I don't want the baby to run out of amniotic fluid.”

“It's fast, sir.” Answer the driver.

“Sir, slow down, I want to give birth to my baby first. Not meeting my parents.” Laura said while grimacing. However, driving safety is more important.

“Baby, amniotic mu—.”

“Already. simply discuss amniotic. And just broke it anyway. The doctor said, if it just broke.. Sstt.. possibility of opening is not perfect.”

“Aww.” Edward grimacing. The wife clutched her arm tightly again.

“Sabar, boy. We'll meet soon.” The man gently rubbed his wife's stomach wrapped in a silk nightgown.

After twenty minutes, the car they arrived in front of the hospital entrance. A nurse stood guard, carrying a wheelchair. Because, during the trip, before Laura's water broke, Edward had contacted the hospital, to prepare a delivery room and VIP room for the wife.

Another nurse, who was only able to gap when the driver of the hospital owner, handed him a large suitcase.

‘Bos, mah free yes. Want to give birth, it's like going to stay at a hotel.’

Arriving on the 10th floor of the hospital, where a special VIP room for the family of the hospital owner was located, the obstetrician who had been handling Laura had been on guard.

“Dok, my wife's membranes have broken.” Edward said as soon as he entered the lavish nursery.

The female doctor replied with a nod of her head while smiling kindly. She asked Laura to lie down on the bed. And Edward was quick to help his wife.

“Dok, what are you doing?” Edward's eyes were perfectly rounded, when he saw the doctor open both thighs of the wife, then put his hands there.

“I'm checking the opening, sir.” Answer the doctor calmly.

“What should it be?”

The doctor replied with a nod of his head.

“She's learned a lot.” Knock the wife while grimacing. Somehow, the annoyance to the husband still he felt.

“Yes, don't get to it, dear.”

The doctor continued back. Laura came back grimacing. Edward also lovingly held her.

“Already opening four, Mom, sir.”

“What will my son be born soon?” Ask Edward again.

“Normally, from opening four to opening ten, it takes up to six hours, sir.”

Edward's eyes were back. He could imagine, the wife was in pain all that time. The time shows at 11 pm, which means, Laura will endure pain until dawn.

“What should we do so that the opening is faster, doc?”

The doctor also explained some ways to speed up the opening process. Edward listened carefully. Once in taste enough, the doctor said goodbye, and left a nurse there to accompany the couple.

Four hours passed, not a second Laura could close her eyes quietly. Once crushed, his stomach will feel very painful. So the young woman decided to stay up all night.

Sometimes he walks around the room, then sits for a while. After that, repeat. Patiently, Edward guided and accompanied his wife. Although he had to feel pain due to the grip Laura had on his limbs.

“Rest first.” Said Edward. He led his wife to the sofa. Then bring some water for the woman.

“Sstt, pain, pi.” I don't know how many times the word was said from his wife's lips. If you can, Edward is eager to take his place, let him feel the pain that Laura feels.

The adult man glanced at the clock hanging on the wall of the room. The time now shows at 3 am.

“Sabar darling, soon we will meet with junior.”

Laura rolled her eyes lazily. “Did papi really name him junior? Is there no other name option?”

“Sure darling. I've prepared a good name for him.” Edward didn't want his wife to be angry, in these circumstances.

Moments later they went back for a walk, only a few steps Laura felt something very wet flowing on her groin.

“Papi, like there is liquid coming out?”

“Hah?” Edward jerks. He also led his wife into bed.

“Wait a minute, I'll call doctor.”

Edward pressed a button that was directly connected to the doctor's room.

Not long after, the obstetrician and a nurse entered the VIP room. The doctor again examined the opening, and the result was perfect. Laura was ready to give birth normally.

The nurse took Laura to the delivery room. Edward faithfully accompanied his wife. Tired, drowsy, who attacked, he fought hard, in order to stay with his wife.

“Papi. pain.” Laura started to sob. He could not feel the pain that was attacking his stomach.

“Sabar, darling. Everything will be fine.” Edward rubbed his wife's head gently, then placed a loving kiss on her forehead.

“I love you so much. You can give birth to our son safely. After that, we will take care of him together. Giving love and affection that we have.”

“Sickness, pi.” Laura's hand gripped Edward's arm very firmly. The man was only able to bite his lips, enduring the pain he felt. The pain he felt, not as painful as his wife felt, therefore, Edward let it go, Laura did anything to his body.

“A minute, darling.”

The doctor also guided Laura. The young woman tried her hardest to follow what the doctor said. The sweat rapidly wetted the forehead. Edward swiftly wiped the water coming out of the pores of the skin and also the tears of the wife.

“I love you, Laura.” The words of love Edward never stop to encourage the wife.

Nearly twenty minutes of struggle, finally the cry of the baby echoed in the maternity room.

Laura was also able to breathe. But he was still breathing.

“Papi, our son.” He said with a trembling voice.

“Iya darling. That's our son's cry.”

After cleaning, the nurse placed the red baby on Laura's chest. Skin to skin contact between mother and baby.

Edward was moved to see the tiny baby, trying to taste the surface of Laura's skin. Unable to stand it, he bowed, and planted a light kiss on the head of the son.

“Welcome to the world, boy. May you be a good child, devoted to parents, and useful to those around you.”

“Amiin.” Laura said the husband's words.
