Chapter 278 - The Birth Of The Little Princess
When Fu Hua walked into the labor room, Jia Li was ready for labor. She was already in a position for pushing and delivering with the delivery mat under her. A drip was already connected to Jia Li's veins and an injection was given to help start the labor off.
Jia Li felt her heart relaxed when she saw Fu Hua. She smile in between her tears and stretched her hand out to him.
Fu Hua quickly went over to hold her hand. "Everything will be fine." He said while patting her hand.
Jia Li had sweated a lot before coming into the labor room, so her clothes were taken off but a sheet was used to cover her naked body.
Jia Li nodded and shut her eyes. She was feeling so much movement within.. She wasn't expecting the delivery to be that painful.
"Mrs. Fu, please get ready to push when I tell you to." Dr. Clinton said to her.
There were 2 doctors in the room including Dr. Clinton, plus 3 nurses, so Fu Hua was a bit reassured.
The first stage of labor took over 2 hours and Dr. Clinton said it was a miracle, as the first stage of labor usually lasted between 6-12 hours. But in 2% of pregnancies, it doesn't take that long.
Jia Li pushed and screamed her heart out. She was in so much pain that she was forced to bear it.
Fu Hua couldn't believe what was going on. He was so tensed holding unto her hand. He didn't dare to see what was going down there.
Jia Li was encouraged when the doctor revealed that the baby's head could be seen. Jia Li shed tears of joy. Fu Hua's eyes reddened as he gently squeezed Jia Li's hands.
"We are almost there." Fu Hua whispered to her.
The nurse took Jia Li's hand and brought it over so she could feel her daughter's head.
"I can feel it." Jia Li said in excitement as tears rolled down her cheeks.
"Mr. Fu, would you like to see your baby's head?" The nurse asked.
"No, I'm fine." Fu Hua rejected it. He didn't think he could behold the sight of whatever was going on there.
Fu Hua wiped Jia Li's tears and spoke gently to her.
"Our baby is almost here, you can do it. I'm sure she will be very proud of her brave mother, who fought to bring her into this world."
The more Jia Li listened, the more she cried and the more she felt encouraged.
She just felt her baby's head and that was a marvelous feeling. Her Jasmine was here, she was bringing her into this world, she can't give up.
"Check the fetal heart monitor, we need to be sure the baby is coping well with the labor." The second doctor instructed.
One of the nurses quickly checked and replied, "Everything is perfect, her heartbeats are steady."
"Check on the mother." The doctor said in a soft tone.
Dr. Clinton was busy helping Jia Li deliver the baby by giving her instructions.
"Mrs. Fu, you're a strong woman and you're doing pretty well. Your little princess is cooperating as well. Stop pushing and pant in quick short breaths through your mouth."
Fu Hua wasn't surprised the doctor asked Jia Li to stop pushing because over the past 2 hours they've been on the first stage, Jia Li rested for a while and pushed only when contractions came.
When the doctor was sure that Jia Li had taken enough deep breaths, she gave her an instruction to start pushing slowly so the baby can be slowly born, to avoid a tear in the perineum (the area between the vagina and back passage).
When Grandfather arrived, the soldiers who were his bodyguards, quickly stepped out from the two cars that followed the old man with and surrounded the hospital in no time.
Grandfather Fu quickly made his way inside the hospital with Butler Lu and two of the soldiers. He didn't want to scare the people inside, so he only took those 3 with him.
As Fu Hua instructed, the servants didn't allow the old man to come towards the labor room. They took him to another place to sit and wait.
"How long have they been in there? How is Li girl?" Grandfather asked after he was forced to sit.
"Old master, Madam is fine, they've been in there for 3 hours now." The housekeeper replied.
"All of you can't stop me from going to see Li girl. If I stay here, my blood pressure will only rise, I need to get close." Grandfather Fu said and got to his feet immediately.
He was so tensed and worried that his hands were shaking. He could only feel at ease if he was close to the labor room.
"Old master, our master ordered to keep you away from there because he was worried about your health." The housekeeper said while trying to reason with him but it turned out that it was a waste of time.
"If you want me to be admitted to the hospital, then try to stop me." Grandfather Fu said strode away.
No one dared to stop him after he just threatened them with his health. They could only follow him closely.
When they all got close to the labor room door, the housekeeper and the other servant stopped the old man from getting too close.
"Old Master forgive us but you can't move closer than this or we will be scolded." Housekeeper Zu said to him with a bow.
The old man didn't intend to go to the room, he only wanted to get close to the door, as he was standing more than 10 steps away from the door.
He was still trying to argue with them when they all heard Jia Li's scream, which was immediately followed by the sound of a baby crying.
It felt like time stopped for all of them. When they all heard the cries of the baby. Sighs of relief could be heard as happy smiles appeared on their faces.
