Chapter 326: Their Overflowing Emotions
(Arata)
Giving birth was an ordeal. I had heard from my Mom and others that it was a painful process, but going through it first-hand was a whole new experience.
Karsten held me throughout while the doctor guided me.
His lips remained on my temple as I collapsed, his scent calming me.
"You did well. I am so proud of you." I heard his heartfelt words, the love so visible in his actions and voice.
The strength I had exhibited, the pain I had endured was worth it when I finally heard the tiny cries of our baby.
Our heads simultaneously turned while the nurse cleaned our crying baby.
Dr Alvia faced us and announced with a broad smile, "Congratulations, it’s a girl."
I had known in my heart that I was carrying a girl. My heart swelled with so much love that my eyes watered.
Emotions flooded me, filling me to the brim, spilling out.
Squeezing Karsten’s hand I murmured, "Go get our girl." I wanted him to be the first person to hold her.
The expressions on his face, the way he battled tears and stared at the tiny crying baby, whom the nurse was now wrapping in a blanket had more tears leaking out of my eyes.
