The Midwife came to Young Commander Huang Shu's house after his servants called her. Because Master Bai Yunyu was about to deliver his baby.
Huang Shu was worried that the Midwife would come late, but thankfully, she came right on time when Yunyu's water broke.
"Give me a blanket and bucket of warm water!" the Midwife ordered.
Huang Shu ordered his servants, and they were working together to provide whatever the Midwife needed.
The Midwife spread the blanket over Yunyu's thigh and then started checking the condition from inside the blanket. Huang Shu was holding Yunyu's hand. He would wipe Yunyu's sweaty forehead sometimes.
He looked so worried because Yunyu was holding so much pain.
"Y—Yunyu, please bear with it. It won't be long!" Huang Shu said. Yunyu smiled bitterly and nodded.
After the Midwife finished checking, she said, "Okay, Master Bai, you need to take a deep breath and then push."
Yunyu took a deep breath and then pushed as hard as he could. Somehow, he felt this labor would be a lot more difficult than his previous ones.
He had birthed many children, even twins. Of course, he would feel the pain. But this time, the pain was so intense that he couldn't even scream when he pushed the baby out.
As if the pain suddenly muted him, made him unable to think nor to feel anything except pain all over his body when he pushed.
His face paled, but he glanced at Huang Shu, who was so worried about him. If he showed extreme pain in front of Huang Shu, this man would be heartbroken and might do stupid stuff such as stopping the labor altogether.
Thus, Bai Yunyu only bit his lips to fight against the odds. He NEEDED to deliver this baby, or else everything would be in vain. His Breakmeter goal and Huang Shu happiness.
"Yes, continue, Master Bai! You're doing good!" The Midwife encouraged Yunyu while Yunyu kept pushing. He wanted to scream and cried as hard as he could. But he didn't want to make Huang Shu worried. Thus he could only stare at Huang Shu while yelling at Pupa in his head.
[AAAAAARGGGGH!! DAMN, THIS IS TOO PAINFULLLL!]
Pupa used a slightly deafen setting on its body, so it didn't need to hear those painful cries from Yunyu.
[Pupa: I mean, that's because you're already dying. Childbirth is a labor-intensive thing that would suck out your life if you're not ready. Since your body has been weakened severely, this is your only chance to deliver the baby and complete the Breakmeter.]
[Wuwuwu, Pupa, this is too painful. I feel like my body would be split open. This is a lot more painful than my other childbirth before.]
Pupa watched how Yunyu was trying his best to deliver the baby successfully. It knew that Yunyu must've been in extreme pain. Pupa wanted to use the skills it had, such as Pain Absorption. But it only has ten more chances to use skills with Yunyu, and they didn't know what would happen in the future. So it was important to just save the skill for now.
Huang Shu was trying to convince himself that Yunyu was okay. Because Yunyu didn't cry at all. Yes, his face paled, and he was sweating all over, but he didn't seem to be in so much pain.
… at least that was what he saw. Because he didn't know if Yunyu hid his pain.
After five hours, they finally heard a loud cry from the baby. The Midwife was relieved and then keep encouraging Yunyu, "Okay! Master Bai, continue pushing! The head is out. You can do this!"
Huang Shu was exhilarated when he heard the cry of the baby. He thought that Yunyu would be able to push through, "Wife! You're doing great! You can do this!"
Yunyu continued pushing, and he could feel that his life was already floating away due to the pain he had to bear.
[Pupa, tell me this will be worth it. Because this pain is unbearable…]
[Pupa: You've endured so much, it will be worth it in the end.]
Both Pupa and Yunyu knew they had no idea of what would happen in the future because they still had few more transmigration worlds to finish.
Yunyu had lost his will to cry, all he could do right now was to continue pushing, but when he heard Pupa's encouragement, it gave him a bit of assurance. Thus he pushed harder and harder until the baby was finally delivered.
[Pupa: Ding! Breakmeter increases to 50%.]
[Thank god…]
Yunyu smiled thin as he saw Huang Shu looked so happy and relieved. It must've been a terrible emotional burden for Huang Shu, knowing that his baby and his wife might be in danger.
But he was relieved now, after seeing the baby had been successfully delivered, and his wife was still breathing.
"Congratulations, Young Commander! You have a healthy Ger son!" The Midwife said. Huang Shu and Yunyu saw their baby for the first time. It was incredibly emotional for Yunyu because he had miscarriages in two timelines and became infertile. This was the first time he finally had a baby in this world.
And it was a Ger, just like him.
The Midwife took care of the baby first, while Huang Shu gave Yunyu some nourishing drink to replenish himself.
"Wife! You did it! You've delivered our son successfully!" Huang Shu said. He hugged his wife and then kissed Yunyu's forehead. He also continued wiping Yunyu's sweaty body.
Huang Shu looked so happy, but Bai Yunyu knew this happiness wouldn't last long.
[Pupa, can I stay until I've finished breastfeeding my son at least once? I really want him to taste my mother… or fatherly love for the first and the last time.]
[Yes, you still have time for that, but you'll be dead soon after. Just a reminder.]
The Midwife returned the baby wrapped like a cocoon. She put it beside Yunyu for his first breastfeed.
Yunyu stared at his baby. Aside from his bright cinnabar mole between his brows, it seemed this baby would look similar to Huang Shu instead. He could be the strongest Ger in the future, probably a lot stronger than both of them combined.
Yunyu wanted to cry when he could breastfeed the baby for the first time. He just realized that pregnancy for a regular woman in his world would've been a lot more exhausting and life-threatening. In the previous worlds where he got pregnant, he usually had amazing strength or was supported by magic, so it didn't hurt much.
But in this world, he realized that he was like a regular human who gave birth, it was scary and painful, but he was so determined to give birth to the baby.
He didn't even care about the life and death situation, as long as the baby could live to see the future that lies ahead of him.
[Mother's love… is truly a wonderful thing…]
Yunyu stared at Huang Shu. He smiled again and asked with his hoarse voice, "Do you have a name for him?"
Huang Shu was pondering for a moment, "Obviously, he will be a Huang, just like me, hmm… how about Huang Qingsheng? Qingsheng as in… celebrating birth. Because his birth is ours to celebrate!"
