Chapter 984 - 946: Mother and Child Safe
The delivery room.
When Sienna Johnson was pushed in, her cervix had already dilated to eight fingers. If they hadn’t sent her to the delivery room in time, she could’ve delivered right in the hospital corridor.
The pain came crashing down on her like a tidal wave. Sienna felt like her body was being torn to pieces, and she’d bitten her lips until they were broken and bleeding.
"Please, I’m begging you, you have to make sure my baby is born safe." Sienna said to Dr. Mitchell.
There were still three weeks to go before her due date; she didn’t know if this counted as a premature birth.
Dr. Mitchell looked at Sienna, saw how tense she was, and said, "Mm, I’ll definitely do my best. You relax first. At the last B‑scan, didn’t I tell you your baby’s position was perfect and you could deliver naturally?"
"D‑doctor... you said I can have a natural birth." Sienna forced the sentence out with difficulty.
The medical staff in antibacterial suits and masks, the trays full of all kinds of surgical instruments, and Adrian Desmond in his own antibacterial suit all scared him stiff; he was in a dazed state the whole time.
"If you’re that scared, you can go out and wait for me." Sienna said.
Dr. Mitchell laughed. "You two are really something. The one having the baby doesn’t look like it’s you, it looks more like it’s your Husband."
"It’s his first time, he’s a little nervous." Sienna explained for Adrian.
Dr. Mitchell glanced at Adrian and said with a smile, "Later, when it’s time to cut the umbilical cord, don’t go passing out on us. I’ve seen plenty of expectant dads faint from fright."
Adrian thought she was talking too much nonsense and said, displeased, "Could you please focus on delivering the baby?"
"Can’t you see your Madam is really nervous? I’m helping her relax. Childbirth isn’t as terrifying as you think."
"Why don’t you try giving birth yourself?" Adrian shot back.
"I already have. If I weren’t only allowed to have one, I’d want another."
"Having a baby is a kind of enjoyment... enjoying the arrival of a tiny new life, enjoying the happiness of being a mother. Think about it, this little one will inherit your looks, your good qualities, carry on your life... maybe even inherit your bad temper... how fun is that...
Mrs. Desmond, don’t you think so?"
Sienna really liked this obstetrician; Dr. Mitchell truly knew how to help her relax. "Yeah, it hurts, but it’s happy pain."
"Mrs. Desmond, after this one, are you planning to have more?"
"Mm, both my family and my Husband’s family are short on descendants. I’m hoping to have two more children."
Adrian: Did you ever ask for my opinion?
"When you’re old, you’ll have a house full of children and grandchildren."
Sienna pictured herself with white hair, with an equally white‑haired, bad‑tempered old man by her side and a bunch of grandchildren around them, and she smiled.
Dr. Mitchell massaged Sienna’s belly to help her deliver the baby faster. The doctor’s hands were very soft, her palms very warm, and Sienna felt comfortable.
"If it hurts, just scream." Adrian had seen women giving birth on TV, all of them screaming like they’d been stabbed several times. When his woman was in pain, she only groaned twice.
"I can endure it."
"Don’t endure it!"
"What are you yelling for? If you scream now and use up all your strength, how are you going to push the baby out later?"
"..."
"Your Husband doesn’t know a thing, just hollering for nothing."
Adrian: ...
"Right now you need to relax first and take a few deep breaths. The baby’s already engaged; I can feel the head here..." Dr. Mitchell pressed on her lower abdomen. "The position is very good, this baby’s going to come out easily."
"Mm."
Although today’s experience hadn’t been pleasant, Sienna still felt satisfied to have run into such a skilled doctor like Dr. Mitchell.
"Okay, now start pushing."
"Mm." Sienna bared her teeth in a grimace and strained with all her might.
Half an hour later, Dr. Mitchell said in delight, "The baby’s head is out. Quick, take a deep breath and then push."
Seeing that Sienna was about to bite her lip again, Adrian put his finger to her mouth for her to bite.
Her lips were so soft, so sweet, he wouldn’t allow her to bite them open.
"Hoo... hoo..." Sienna exhaled, trying to ease the pain. The pain made her want to die.
"Come on, now take a deep breath and push."
"Ah—" Sienna tasted blood between her lips and teeth. She bit down hard on Adrian’s finger, as if that could somehow ease the pain.
"Ah, mm—ah—"
"Come on, for your baby. The baby’s almost out, keep going!"
The room was suddenly filled only with Sienna’s cries and Dr. Mitchell’s words of encouragement.
"I can see the head, what a beautiful baby, keep going..." Dr. Mitchell gently guided the slippery little body out.
