Praying For Fate Extra 2 Part2

Su YuanHeng felt soreness on his back so he straightened his body to ma.s.sage it with his hands. This side effect was already improving just a few days ago but why is it back again today ……?

LiEr, who was cuddling with his Papa, saw that his expression was looking very uncomfortable so he immediately stretched out his little hand out to softly caress his Papa's belly. After rubbing it, he did not forget to kiss his little brother and sister. Then he raised his head and smiled at his Papa. The little adult uttered, "Little brother and sister said that they would behave. Papa don't have to worry."

Seeing his son being so thoughtful, Su YuanHeng felt that this is all worth it even if he was very uncomfortable.

What an adorable child.

Since he found out that he would be having little siblings, he would get his fairytale storybook every day and read a story to the babies and also help him ma.s.sage his back and tie his shoelaces…etc…

Su YuanHeng reached out to swipe aside LiEr's lose bangs and tirelessly kissed the cute hairpin on top of his head. LiEr also complemented his actions by straightening up his little body so that his Papa could kiss him easier.

Hearing the sound of the key turning the door lock, LiEr turned around and leaned over the sofa. Sure enough, his Daddy is back. The four-year-old child jumped off the sofa and rushed to the door to quickly climb into the man's arms. His speed was astonis.h.i.+ng.

"Daddy!"

BeiTang MinQian carried his son while heavily kissing the child's face.

"Save me Papa!"

Being scratched by BeiTan MinQian's beard stubble made LiEr's face very itchy. He tried to evade the kisses while trying to call for help from Su YuanHeng. This is the intimate drama that must be staged by this young and old pair every day.

Su YuanHeng bent his upper body forward. Seeing LiEr struggling, he was afraid that BeiTang MinQian could not hold onto the child tightly and was worried that he (BeiTang MinQian) would drop him so he naturally reached out his arms to help.

Su YuanHeng's posture looked very weird at this time; one of his hand is holding his belly and the other hand guarding his son. BeiTang MinQian couldn't help himself from smiling seeing this. He put their son down and sat next to Su YuanHeng. Holding onto Su YuanHeng's non-existent waist, he gently ma.s.saged it and asked, "How are you today…"

"Good."

Su YuanHeng's heart silently muttered, I wouldn't dare to say that I'm not okay. Otherwise, I'll likely be sent to the hospital immediately. Su YuanHeng had already told him that he's not too nervous. In fact, he didn't need to be. After all, he is considered to be experienced.

“Were you busy at work today? Wait a little, we can go eat at the food stalls tonight?” Su YuanHeng asked.

BeiTang MinQian had been bringing his work home recently saying that he didn't really trust him (Su YuanHeng) being home alone.

“Not busy but we can't eat at the food stalls…I know that our son said he wanted to go but it's not good for you so we can't."

He knew that it was because their son had mentioned yesterday that they haven't eaten out for a long time. Su YuanHeng must've felt like he owed it to his son upon hearing it. He wanted to make the the little guy feel better so said to eat at the food stall but he wasn't thinking about his current state.

Siva, who had came back with BeiTang MinQian, reached out his finger to gently poke his belly. Then, he immediately pulled his hand back and crossed his arms on his chest, "Aren't you about to give birth? How can it move so much……"

“That's nothing. It's been like this the last couple of days. The babies are big……don't worry. I'm also a doctor. It's all good.”

Su YuanHeng smiled toward BeiTang MinQian's pair of probing anxious eyes. Although the babies are twins, they are still only eight months along so it's not time for them to be born yet.

“If you're feeling uncomfortable, we can stay at the community hospital first. I'll be with you.”

Looking at the bulging belly beneath the huge T-s.h.i.+rt, BeiTang MinQian can't just rely on Su YuanHeng's professionalism and be careless. LiEr also kept nodding his head on the side. If Papa has to go to the hospital, he will also go too.

“Don't worry, it's really nothing…”

It's just that today his waist felt especially heavy and uncomfortable but everything else felt the same. The babies have always been causing him discomfort so he's already use to it.

After dinner, Siva took the initiative to wash the dishes. Humming a small tune, he went to do the dishes.

Su YuanHeng, whose movements have begun to be somewhat sluggish, slowly stood up with BeiTang MinQian's help. Suddenly, he felt that something is wrong and touched his lower belly. The babies' positions seemed to be down a lot. A tightened feeling dispersed around his entire hipbone, and… the base of this leg.

Seeing Su YuanHeng looking a bit strange, BeiTang MinQian anxiously asked, "What's wrong? Not comfortable or……”

“Aah, maybe I really have to go to the hospital……”

“What?”

BeiTang MinQian was stunned. This is somewhat sudden. Really, it is too sudden. He was fine eating dinner just earlier.

“Are you ready to deliver?!”

Excited and stunned, he shouted without realizing how loud he was. Immediately, LiEr who was reading a book on the sofa and Siva who was was.h.i.+ng the dishes in the kitchen gathered around Su YuanHeng.

“Not yet, I just think it is safer to go to Dr. Qiu's place first. Didn't you say this afternoon that……"

Su YuanHeng felt a bit awkward. After all, saying that he may be giving birth in front of his son and Siva, how can he not feel embarra.s.sed?

BeiTang MinQian didn't say anymore since he knew he wasn't going to get any real answers. Since YuanHeng said to go to the hospital then it's time to go to the hospital. He quickly had Siva support Su YuanHeng while he went into the room to grab a jacket.

"We'll clean up the stuff later. The place is nearby. You……are you still able to walk now?"

Looking at Su YuanHeng's very strange posture, with his feet a bit swollen and even slightly pouted backward, he remembered that last time when YuanHeng was about to give birth to LiEr, he also had this posture.

"I can. Siva, please look after LiEr for a bit. He has to go to bed at nine o'clock and get up at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning. Breakfast is in the refrigerator; use a pot to heat it up, don't use the microwave….”

He put on his jacket. With one of his hand on his belly and the other hand on his waist, Su YuanHeng thought for a second. With Siva taking care of LiEr, it should be fine.

“Papa, can I go?”

LiEr was very reluctant to let Su YuanHeng leave. He didn't want to be left at home. He wanted to see the babies.

"You can't!”

BeiTang MinQian sternly refused him. This child, how could he become so insensible all of a sudden? They have to go to the hospital right now. He might not even be able to take care of the adult, how could he take care of a young child?

"LiEr stay home and wait for Papa. Papa will probably be back tomorrow."

Su YuanHeng couldn't stand BeiTang MinQian's att.i.tude toward their son just now. But at this time, there is no way he could take him along.

“It's fine. I'll take care of LiEr. Don't worry.”

Siva quickly grabbed onto LiEr and winked at the little guy, meaning to say that once they leave, I'll take you there. LiEr cleverly understood Uncle Siva's meaning so he didn't ask again. But instead, he very thoughtfully to tell his Papa to be careful.

The community hospital is not far from their home, taking only about ten minutes to walk there. It's just that the babies' positions are indeed very low so it's difficult for Su YuanHeng to walk.

“Do you need to rest or should we take a taxi?"

“It's okay. Just walk a bit, the babies will drop faster……"

Drop faster…but then will it just fall out? BeiTang MinQian was very shocked by his own thinking. He just thought that looking at Su YuanHeng's present condition, this possibility still exists.

The original ten-minute walk actually took them 30 minutes to get to their destination because of the numerous pauses. When they arrived at the hospital, Su YuanHeng was about to collapse.

BeiTang MinQian got a wheelchair to push Su YuanHeng to the second floor. When they got on the elevator, they b.u.mped into Dr. Qiu ZhiYuan whom was rus.h.i.+ng over after receiving the call earlier.

"How is he?……"  Qiu ZhiYuan quickly asked when he saw them. BeiTang MinQian was very unclear on the phone earlier, only saying that he (Su YuanHeng) was ready to deliver but didn't say whether his water(T/N) had broken.

T/N: water here is refering to amniotic fluid.

“The babies have dropped but the water is not yet broken, it should be soon……”

“That's good, that's good. Scared me……”

Hearing BeiTang MinQian's panicky tone on the phone earlier, he was scared that he'd have to run out and help Su YuanHeng deliver on the street.

After BeiTang MinQian helped Su YuanHeng onto the hospital bed, he heard a 'zhizhi zha zha' noise outside the ward. He turned to look, then quickly ran out to grab the little brat, "How did you get here? You know this is a hospital…?…"

LiEr nodded and pitifully responded, “Papa promised me that I could be the second person to see the babies. Daddy is the first one."

He let out a sigh. It's not like he didn't know who LiEr's stubbornness comes from.

"Where's Uncle Siva?" BeiTang MinQian asked his son. There is no need to guess how the four years old LiEr, who couldn't recognize the streets, could get here. Obviously, Siva must have brought him.

“Right here, right here. Don't worry, we'll wait outside……"

Siva probed his head out from the corner of the corridor. He pulled LiEr over and sat on the side. At the same time, he gave LiEr a meaningful glance, telling him, You have to be obedient or else you won't get to see the babies.

After seeing that his son is being very obedient, BeiTang MinQian left a few words to Siva and went back to the room feeling a.s.sured. The person in the ward is the one that made him worried.

Qiu ZhiYuan, "You guys really. You guys treated those two little ones like the street angels (T/N)……"

T/N: Street Angels (馬路天使) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Street_Angel_(1937_film)

When BeiTang MinQian returned, Qiu ZhiYuan had already finished examining Su YuanHeng. Seeing him come in, he looked up.

“Ah…what is this…?…"

BeiTang MinQian looked at Su YuanHeng confused, but that other person also looked confused.

“You've already dilated to 4cm when you got to the hospital. If it was later, the babies could have been born on the street!”

Su YuanHeng pursed his lips. His heart trembled a little. How could it happen so fast?

Because there was no pain and the water hasn't broken, Su YuanHeng called his son in to chat with him. Seeing the young child looking sleepy, he had a little talk with him, “How about you go home and sleep first? Papa promised you that you will be the second one to see the babies."

Although LiEr was very reluctant to leave, he couldn't fight the sleeping bugs. He pinky-promised with Su YuanHeng and then had Siva take him home.

The contractions began in the middle of the night. After Qiu ZhiYuan examined him, he felt that the chance of having a natural delivery is quite slim. For one, it's a set of twins. And second, both babies' head seemed to be pretty big. After discussing with the husbands, they finally decided to do a C-section.

“I will wait for you outside……"

Since c-section surgery do not allow family members to accompany the patient, regardless of how powerful BeiTang MinQian is, he was stopped outside the delivery room. Holding onto Su YuanHeng's hand, he was a bit unwilling …unwilling to let him go in, and even more unwilling for Su YuanHeng to be operated on.

“Don't worry. It will over very soon.”

Su YuanHeng tightly gripped onto BeiTang MinQian's hand to comfort him.

BeiTang MinQian looked as Su YuanHeng was pushed into the operating room; the light above lit up. He sat anxiously on the bench outside the surgery room and waited. Looking at his watch, it was already two in the morning. Earlier Qiu ZhiYuan had said that it'll take about two hours if things are smooth. There is still two hours…

About forty minutes later, a nurse pushed a small cart out of the operating room with two babies inside. BeiTang MinQian didn't look at the babies but instead wanted to rush into the operating room. The nurse quickly said, "The adult is fine. Take a look at the babies before I take them to the incubators.”

“When will he be out?”

“It should be in about an hour. Dr. Qiu is st.i.tching the wound now. Hurry up and look at the babies. It's a boy and a girl, older sister and a younger brother.”

He still has an hour to wait. Although BeiTang MinQian had to wait another hour, he was very compliant. He quickly looked at the babies. They look good. Compared to when LiEr was born, they look less like an old man.

Knowing that the babies were born prematurely and needed to be placed into the incubators immediately, he thanked the nurse, who then took them away.

When Su YuanHeng was pushed out of the operating room, BeiTang MinQian felt that he had been sitting on the bench for nearly a century.

Looking at his lover who is wrapped tightly in a blanket, seeming to be awake, BeiTang MinQian quickly touched his forehead head and kissed it. He was so worried. He (Su YuanHeng) can't give birth anymore. If he gives birth again, he (BeiTang MinQian) will have a heart attack.

Seeing BeiTang MinQian's worried and petrified expression, Su YuanHeng tried to push himself up with much difficulty and weakly uttered, “A boy and a girl, looking very much like you…”

“Yeah, I know. Rest. I'll bring LiEr to come see you in a bit."

—–

A week later, the husbands went home with their two newborn babies. LiEr happily touched his little brother's face and kissed his little sister's little hand. He is an older brother now and his little brother and little sister are really cute.

"Thank you…."

Kissing Su YuanHeng's cheeks, BeiTang MinQian sincerely said his thanks.

“Thank you too……”

Thank you for giving me this family. Looking at their three babies as well as the lover beside him, Su YuanHeng felt that his father in heaven would be very happy for him……

They wanted to deepen the kiss, but sounds….

“Wehhhhh~~~~~~ wehhhhh~~~~~~~”

“Baby, don't cry. Daddy and Papa will come quickly. YueYue p.o.o.ped~~~~~~~”
