Labour
After you..
Yoona's POV
'AAHHH! It hurts!' I screamed.
'Yeobo.. Are you okay?' L asked, worried.
'No, I'm not.. Help me!' I said, sweat forming in my forehead.
'OMO! Yoona! Are you okay?' his Mom asked.
'Mom, Call an ambulance!' L said, panicking.
'Okay' His Mom replied, panicking as well.
'Are you going into labour?' L asked.
'Its only been 28 weeks!' I replied, clutching my tummy.
'28 weeks is enough for a premature baby' he replied.
Then the pain throbbed.
'AAAHH!' I screamed.
L's POV
'Yeobo, we're nearly there' I said to Yoona.
'Aahhhh' she moaned out.
'Oh my goodness! Her water broke!' Mom said.
'She's giving birth!' Mom screamed.
We arrived in the hospital and she was immediately wheeled into the labour room.
'Mom, sign all the papers for us, okay?' I instructed my Mom before running off to my wife.
I found her and she grabbed my hand.
'You're gonna be okay' I said.
----------
'Push' Doctor Dongho said.
I saw her trying to push. It must be tiring her. and painful.
'Honey, are you okay?' I asked.
'HOW CAN I BE OKAY?' she screamed, pushing.
'Its coming out already.. Just a bit more' Doctor Dongho said.
'AAHHHHH!' she screamed while pinching my arms.
'AAHHHHH!' I screamed in pain.
'ITS PAINFUL!' I yelled again.
Mom then ran in.
'Oh my goodness.. I thought you were the one in labour' Mom told me.
'Don't scream so loud' she said.
'He's out' Doctor Dongho said and there was a soft wailing voice.
'So small' Mom said.
'Its premature birth, Ma'm' Doctor replied, 'Congratulations'
I hugged my wife who is now smiling.
----------------------
I pushed her wheelchair to the baby unit.
'I want to see our Yoonsoo' she said, smiling. She looks like she didn't undergo labour at all! She was still very beautiful and slim. I smiled back.
We reached the room and saw Doctor Dongho waiting for us.
'Come this way' he said and I pushed the wheelchair to follow him.
We stopped before an incubator.
I read the nametag: Kim Yoon Soo
Its our baby.
We leaned in to take a peek. So small! But also so cute!
Its like the most wonderful thing that has ever happened in my life.
I hugged my wife as we saw our baby.
'OMO! He stretched his arms!' Yoona chuckled.
'We are not able to take him out of the incubator yet but you are encouraged to touch him as much as possible, by cupping his head with your hands, to make him feel safe. Hearing his parents voice can also soothe him' Doctor Dongho advised.
'Thank you' we said.
'We still need to keep watch on him. He is vulnerable to disease and infections but he should be able to survive' he continued before walking off.
I touched him. His skin was so delicate.
So soft.
I cupped his head with my hands and he gave a small smile.
I let out a small laugh.
Yoona too.
'Yoonsoo-ah, Mom and Dad loves you' Yoona whispered to the baby.
