Warning: The content of this chapter is quite descriptive in the mpreg childbirth process which may be uncomfortable to read.
Su YuanHeng is not short; at 182 centimeters (5"9") he"s almost the same height as BeiTang MinQian"s at 187 centimeters (6"1"). His originally slender body has now added an additional 10 kilograms (22lbs) due to the pregnancy. Besides the huge belly, his body has also put on weight in other areas. However, BeiTang MinQian didn"t feel exhausted carrying him. This is thanks to his rigorous physical training from childhood.
Without even locking the door to the apartment, BeiTang MinQian stood in front of the elevator door while carrying Su YuanHeng, anxiously looking at the two elevators slowly flashing its light with each pa.s.sing floor.
“Ummm……Qian……”
Su YuanHeng moaned in his arms, his fingers gripping his collar because of the pain; feeling extremely feeble.
BeiTang MinQian"s heart tightened. He could no longer wait for the elevator and instead opened the door to the stairway and carried Su YuanHeng down.
A person"s capability can be boundless. In moments of crisis, BeiTang MinQian actually ran down from the 18th floor to the ground level parking lot carrying the almost ready in labor Su YuanHeng.
However with the jerky movements going down the stairs, Su YuanHeng felt even more contractions. The baby seemed to have descended but only because Su YuanHeng was curled up in MinQian"s arms that prevented it from coming out.
Su YuanHeng gritted his teeth and swallowed his moans as he gripped onto BeiTang MinQian"s shoulders without saying a word.
Opening the car"s door, BeiTang MinQian carefully put Su YuanHeng in the pa.s.senger"s seat. He had wanted to put his lover in the back seat but thinking that he will be speeding, he"s afraid that it"s not safe with him not strapped in seat belts lying in the back. He"d feel more at ease with him next to him.
Because the seating position was very difficult for YuanHeng"s heavily pregnant belly, he finally couldn"t help but groaned while holding this belly.
“I"ll adjust the seat for you.”
BeiTang MinQian lowered the seat back to the max and fastened his seat belt.
Su YuanHeng was half-lying in the pa.s.senger seat, his belly strapped by the safety belt made it look even more exaggerated.
When BeiTang MinQian was helping him strap on the seat belt, Su YuanHeng whispered in his ear, “Qian……it really hurts …the baby……"
BeiTang MinQian grasps onto his hand and kissed his lips while firmly saying, "You"ll be fine! The baby will be fine! I"m here. You have to hold on!”
Su YuanHeng"s mind had always been lucid. With BeiTang MinQian on his side, his heart gave rise to an infinite amount of courage.
He touched his belly. Thinking of the baby inside, he must persevere no matter what.
The amniotic fluid has been slowly leaking from his lower body. Su YuanHeng knew that he is still bleeding but that"s not important as long as the baby is safe.
As BeiTang MinQian was driving, he called Qiu ZhiYuan informing to prepare the operating room and emergency measures.
“What"s his condition right now? Give me a general description," Qiu ZhiYuan didn"t expect this to happen so suddenly so he was in a bit of a shock.
“YuanHeng fell in the bathroom and lost a lot of blood. I only found out when I came home. I don"t have time to say too much. We"ll be there in about twenty minutes.”
BeiTang MinQian hung up and sees the crowded cars in front of him. He can"t help but curse loudly, “d.a.m.n!”
No one would"ve thought that there would be an accident along the road to the hospital, creating an unexpectedly traffic jam. The trip that should have only taken 30 mins is now being extended indefinitely.
“Ughhh──”
The painful contractions made Su YuanHeng continually sway his head. Unable to move under the harness of the seat belt, his swollen rounded belly looked all the more astonishing.
“Ah──”
With BeiTang MinQian urgently braking, Su YuanHeng was pushed forward by the inertia; so painful that he cried out. He felt the child in his belly reaching the opening and was pushing against it. This instinctively made him spread his legs and forcefully push downward. There was painful tearing at the opening and his belly felt as if it needed to explode.
“MinQian, baby"s coming out! Ah ─ ─ ─ “Su YuanHeng grabbed the handrail above the front door with one hand and held his belly with the other hand, while shouting in panic.
BeiTang MinQian sweated profusely. While driving, he opened Su YuanHeng"s jacket with his right hand and looked down. He saw a mixture of amniotic fluid and blood leaking down from the seat. Su YuanHeng"s c.o.c.k was stimulated by the baby"s pushing at the pathway that it actually stood erected so he actually can"t see below clearly.
“MinQian……ahhh, ahhh ─ MinQian……”
Every sound Su YuanHeng made sounded more urgent than before. The strong contractions rendered him speechless. His huge swollen belly hardened like a piece of iron and the tear in his lower body made him feel as though he was being torn in half.
BeiTang MinQian stopped the car and reached his hand in. He felt Su YuanHeng hole dilating to a much bigger hole as liquid continue to leak out from time to time.
In between contractions, Su YuanHeng ask, “Is the baby out……is it out?"
“I don"t know,” BeiTang MinQian was at loss. He had no idea on these things.
“I feel it, it"s coming out……ahhh, it"s coming again, ah-ah──”
Su YuanHeng"s upper body writhed. His head tilted back. His body reflexively undulated and his legs trembled as it stretched outward.
BeiTang MinQian"s head sweated bullets. The s.p.a.ce inside the car is so compact. With Su YuanHeng"s huge belly blocking his line of sight, he can"t see clearly. In a hurry, he reached his hand beneath and panicked, “I……I think I feel the head……”
His face pale, feeling terrified.
The baby pushed itself at the opening, desperately trying to come out. Su YuanHeng shouted painfully. He no longer has any strength.
“Qian……if I die……you have to take good care of our baby……”
BeiTang MinQian was stunned, “Stop with this nonsense!” He yelled, “Don"t say that again. You"ll be fine! We"ll get to the hospital very soon.”
Hearing Su YuanHeng"s words, BeiTang MinQian actually calmed down. Seeing the traffic jam ahead, he suddenly turned the steering wheel and abruptly cut from the crowded traffic, turning right into an alley.
Piercing noise from the engine and friction from the squeaking tires sounded in the ears.
BeiTang MinQian calmly said, “YuanHeng, it might be a bit b.u.mpy. Hold on."
Before Su YuanHeng could even respond, he felt the car violently jolted. The baby inside his belly also seemed to have jerked a bit as it squeezed out a little.
Su YuanHeng worriedly groaned as he tightly gripped the car"s handrail; his face as pale as a paper.
BeiTang MinQian raced through the streets with extreme prowess meandering through the narrow alleys.
This thirty minutes journey, he was actually able to race to the hospital on a night with a traffic jam just in time. He later found out that if they had they gotten to the hospital ten minutes later; it might not have been too late to save Su YuanHeng from excessive blood loss.
Qiu ZhiYuan had been waiting with his medical staff outside of the hospital. He sees BeiTang MinQian"s car speeding over, then made a 180-degree and stopped abruptly in front of them.
BeiTang MinQian bolted out of the car and carefully carried Su YuanHeng, who is already halfway into labor, out of the car. He put him onto the stretcher and tightly gripped onto his hand as they headed toward the operating room.
“YuanHeng, YuanHeng, nothing will happen to you! You can"t leave me……”
BeiTang MinQian had never been so terrified. Su YuanHeng"s groans, the continuously outpouring of blood, and having just felt the baby"s head… all this made him very terrified.
He was afraid of losing him, of losing this lover that has been with him for six years, the father of his child… his future… his other half.
Su YuanHeng"s consciousness is already becoming a blur. The pain mixed with fatigue made him want to fall into a deep slumber. But MinQian was constantly talking next to his ear making it impossible for him to completely let go and fall into dreamland (deep sleep).
Everything has been prepped in the operating room. Due to BeiTang MinQian"s insistence, Qiu ZhiYuan has no other option than to have him change into a sterile gown so he could stay by Su YuanHeng"s side.
He checked Su YuanHeng"s condition and immediately proceeded with a blood transfusion, following with oxytocin (T/N) and a variety of nutrients. He solemnly said to BeiTang MinQian, “The baby is already halfway out. It"s too late to do a C-section. You must encourage him to deliver this child naturally."
T/N: Oxytocin is a drug given to induce and speed up labor.
BeiTang MinQian shockingly glanced at Su YuanHeng"s lower body. A visibly pitch black ma.s.s obstructing his bloodied hole should be the child"s head.
Trembling, he panicked, “Can"t do a C-section? He, he has no strength right now.”
“He"s lost too much blood. His body won"t be able to handle it,” Qiu ZhiYuan calmly said. “The baby"s head has already come out and now that the amniotic fluid is running out, he must deliver as soon as possible. Otherwise the baby will suffocate.” Seeing BeiTang MinQian petrified, he quickly tried to comfort him, “Don"t worry. The baby is not yet full term so it"ll be easier to deliver. But you need to encourage Su YuanHeng.”
