Side Story 4: Paul VS Daryl (2)
Daryl finally understood why many people said childbirth was dangerous. Although modern technology was advanced, women could not avoid pain or various sequelae when giving birth. She had considered painless childbirth and water childbirth. But unfortunately, due to her drug allergies and physical condition, she had given them up. If the sequelae of a cesarean section were not so serious, she would have chosen to undergo the operation.
She was so tired that she was profusely sweating, but the nurses were still encouraging her to push hard. She was putting forth her strength and pushing so hard that her toes were about to cramp.
Finally, a nurse said in an excited voice, It's out! Push harder!'
After a few seconds, Daryl exhaustedly collapsed on the bed and listened to their congratulations, feeling as if having unloaded several tons of cargo.
She had had fetal malposition, so she had been afraid the baby's feet would come out first. Fortunately, everything had gone smoothly. Lying weakly on the bed, she felt so tired and sleepy that she barely could keep her eyes open.
But she had an important question to ask. So, she tried her best to open her eyes a little and weakly asked, "Is it a daughter?"
’It's a healthy boy! Congratulations!"
A boy?
A son?
Would he grow up into a man like his father?
Daryl burst into tears, feeling as if being struck by lightning.
The nurses friendly chuckled, and one of them said, "Look, your mother is so excited that she is crying.'
As a new father, Paul was supposed to see the baby first, but he directly strode to Daryl's side and held her hand tightly. Daryl almost fell asleep, so she couldn't help shivering when Paul's fingers suddenly touched her. His hand was as cold as ice. She struggled to open her eyes and vaguely saw him staring at her with red eyes and a pale face.
Daryl was amused and sad at the same time, so she reached out a hand to touch him. Seeing this, he quickly bent over to let her touch his cheek.
Her fingertips were wet with sweat when she lightly touched him and said in a faint voice, "You are a father now, so you can't cry..."
She had seen Paul about to cry only twice, and they were both because of her.
