Chapter 529 - Coming
Months went by and after taking Davi’s formula, Kyuu’s lifespan was lengthened, without any serious side effects. Hope bloomed within everyone and they all believed that with a little bit more time and experimentation, they would no doubt find a cure.
Because of that huge breakthrough, Davi decided to keep working on this until she was just about due to give birth. Her days were spent tirelessly on improving the formula and the constant experiments that had to be conducted for each one.
Three weeks before her due date, Davi finally went back home. Sei was excited for her to finally be back home where he could see her and hold her everyday. But at the same time, he was also worried, to the point that he didn’t want to go back to work anymore. Each day that passed was getting them closer and closer towards that day when they would finally get to meet the new addition to their family.
So with that in mind, Sei moved his office at home because he wanted to take care of her and to cater to her every need. He was there to help her bathe, he accompanied her during her morning walks and made sure she had plenty of nutritious food and water.
Two weeks before the due date, the couple also went shopping for their baby girl with Little Shin. Davi was quite big at that point and she got tired very easily so once they entered a shop, Davi would sit on the comfortable lounge chair in the shop - Sei had made sure that there would be a comfortable seat for her at this shop before he took her out - and Sei and Little Shin would take turns grabbing different items of clothing and showing them to her for approval.
After a while, Little Shin also got tired so he kept his mother company on the chair as Sei ran around looking for more things to buy.
Davi shook her head. ’It would have been faster if he just bought the whole shop,’ she thought jokingly, as the clothes pile that passed her inspection grew into a huge mountain.
"Sei, I think we have enough clothes now. Save some for the other babies!" she said with an amused smile.
Sei immediately agreed and asked the sales lady - whose eyes were shining at the huge sale she was about to cash in - to pack the clothes for them.
Thirty shopping bags later, the family left the store and headed home. Sei thought about taking her out for lunch but he didn’t want to risk her getting food poisoning, so he opted to have lunch at home. Sei had done a lot of reading about the dos and don’ts with regard to pregnancy so he knew that badly prepared food would be bad for the baby. So he made sure that her food was always cooked appropriately so that there was no chance of this happening.
However, he was a little saddened that he couldn’t take her out, or if he was being totally honest, he was sad because he couldn’t monopolise her time. This was because even when they were at home, they were surrounded by many people such as the maids and the cook and the butler. He made a mental note to take her out on a proper date once things settled down after their daughter’s birth.
The family had a pleasant time together that day and the days following as they waited for the baby to arrive.
However, two week went by and Davi still had not given birth. The baby was already five days late. Her doctor said he was going to have to induce her if the baby didn’t come in the next few days.
This was actually also quite new to Davi because she had given birth to Little Shin prematurely due to being involved in a car accident. She didn’t get to experience being pregnant for a full term so she didn’t know what to expect.
One night, she woke up with a stomach cramp. She had been having these cramps during the day but they weren’t painful so she just ignored them. But this one felt a little uncomfortable.
"Are you okay?" Sei asked, worried.
"My stomach hurts."
"Should we go to the hospital now? Should I call the doctors?" Sei began to panic.
"It’s okay, darling, I don’t think the baby is coming yet."
"Are you sure?"
"I think I just want you to rub my tummy a little," she smiled and Sei immediately did as she wanted. Sei had been very worried about his wife but the last few days were one of the sweetest moments of his life, taking care of his wife and waiting for their princess to come. He wasn’t by her side when she gave birth to Little Shin so this time, he was going to do his best to make up for that.
Davi fell asleep as Sei rubbed her tummy gently. Sei then bent and kissed her forehead before he too closed his eyes and slept.
It was midnight when Sei was awakened by Davi’s m.o.a.n. She was calling out his name. He immediately woke up and saw that his wife’s face was covered in sweat.
"Are you okay?"
"I think I’m... Sei... baby..." Davi could barely speak.
Sei was stunned. The baby was coming. He had read many books on pregnancy and about the birth but at that moment, he didn’t know what to do. His thoughts became scrambled and the only thing that was in his head was ’the baby is coming!!’
Davi tried to leave the bed because she needed to go to the bathroom. She slid her legs from under the blanket and waddled her way towards the bathroom. She barely walked in before her water broke, making a mess on the bathroom floor.
Sei heard the gush of water hitting the floor and his mind finally switched on. Her water broke! The baby was definitely coming.
