Chapter 598: Hospital Waiting Room
"Looking at that, I would never want to have a baby," Evana murmured, her eyes wide with a mix of fear and fascination. Nora nodded in agreement, her expression mirroring her friend’s. "Yep, it does look scary."
"What are you girls talking about?" Isabella asked, joining the conversation with a curious tilt of her head. "Childbirth is messy, sure... But Olivia is being brave, isn’t she? If she can do it, so can we."
Nora shook her head and playfully bopped Isabella on the arm. "I’m not talking about what’s happening in there. Olivia is too much of an inspiration. She’s already been in labour for a few hours and is still holding on like a champion. I’m talking about those guys over there. Look at Seb. He looks ready to faint, and he’s not even the one in labor. I think by the time the two babies make their entrance into the world, Seb will be unconscious on the floor."
In unison, Evana, Nora, and Isabella turned their heads to the other side of the waiting room. There, stood Seb Frost, the man known for his unflappable demeanor in the face of any crisis. Today, however, he looked distinctly green, his usually calm and composed face betraying a rare display of nerves.
As they watched, Seb shifted uncomfortably in his seat, his eyes darting anxiously towards the delivery room door every few seconds. His hands were clasped tightly in his lap, knuckles white from the pressure. The sight was almost comical when one thought of how usually carefree he was.
"Actually, look at Lucien, he looks a bit sick too... Just by watching this scene, I want to try having a baby, you know. I’d like to see how sick he’ll look when I’m the one there." Evana whispered causing Isabella and Nora to chuckle loudly, attracting the attention of their respective men.
"You are right actually. I’d like to see Demon..." Nora sighed, suddenly feeling a bit of longing. Until now, they had not even thought of having a baby. She was too young. But sitting here now, watching her husband being all calm and cool, it made her wonder how their baby would be.
She’d seen pictures of baby Caius so their baby would probably look like that. But what would Demon be like as a father? He was so patient and playful...
Just then, she received a swat on her arm and she turned to Isabella with a frown as she rubbed her arm,"What?"
"You’re getting the baby fever! And giving off the pheromones! And your husband is looking ready to help you make a baby! Don’t do that. You’ll give ideas to the others!"
Nora chuckled and purposely sent a teasing wink at Demetri before turning away to look at Isabella and Evana," Don’t blame me. Blame Evana. She’s the one who started this."
"Hey! I was only thinking of ways to torture my Lucifer. Getting pregnant to see that expression is too much! I can just pretend to get sick and then he’ll turn green with worry."
