Mommy, Where Is Daddy? The Forsaken Daughter's Return novel Chapter 110

2:00 AM at a private hospital.

"Doctor, what's going on?" Ethan asked the hospital's resident' physician from inside a private room equipped for Samantha to give birth.

"Mr. Wright, your wife's water broke. She will have to deliver the babies soon," told the doctor.

Both of them spoke outside the room while Samantha and the babies were being monitored.

"But the second baby is not ready yet," Ethan expressed, utterly concerned for his child.

"Mr. Wright, sadly, there is no stopping this. It's because the first baby is already ready," the doctor told. "What we can assure you I that the babies will be given the best care and treatment."

"Your second baby may need a machine to breathe while her lungs are still not yet fully developed. However, it depends. Base on your wife's records; she received steroids treatment. The baby's lungs may have developed in advance." The doctor shrugged and said, "We can only tell when the babies are out."

Indeed, there was no helping it. Two hours after Samantha was admitted to the hospital, contractions kicked in.

Ethan saw for the first time the pain his wife had to go through, and it broke his heart completely.

Samantha was trying to hold back the anxiety, silently taking deep breaths, but her tears gave it away. Ethan knew his wife was in agony.

He sat next to Samantha and held her hand. He kissed her knuckles repeatedly and said, "Honey? Are you okay? Would you rather that you go for an operation?"

Samantha took a deep breath and tightened her hold on Ethan. She said, "No, Ethan. I can do this. I don't want to be in bed longer." Her lips trembled, and she slightly groaned, "Ah... Mm... I - I can do this."

When Samantha's doctor finally came, she was nearly ready to push.

All preparations were in order, including two pediatric bassinets, the name bands, and some supplies needed in case the second baby needs support to breathe.

After checking on Samantha, the doctor announced, "Okay, Sam. It's time to push. Push along with your contractions."

"Okay," answered Samantha. She took several breaths, feeling the contractions, and ultimately gave her first push. "Ahhhhhh! Ahhhh!"

Samantha's cry of pain continued throughout minutes more. Even Ethan held his breath each time his wife pushed.

"The head is almost out, Sam. You are doing good," said the doctor. "One or two more pushes!"

Following the doctor's announcement, Ethan eagerly peeped in between Samantha's legs.

While Ethan was excited to see his son, it shocked him to the core, seeing his wife's peach tearing from delivering Kaleb!

He wound up, taking a step back and covering his mouth.

Ethan dove his head against Samantha's side and swore, "Honey, this will be the last... This will be the last."

Samantha did not understand where his words were coming from. She just continued to scream her pain as she pushed some more!

A loud cry echoed throughout the room. The first baby finally came out, and the nurses were quick to aid the doctor.

After one nurse opened Samantha's hospital gown, they rested Kaleb on her chest. The nurse announced, "Baby boy, Wright."

The nurses cleaned up Kaleb James while putting on his hospital name tag.

Seeing her healthy and crying baby boy, Samantha cried with glee and so did Ethan.

The nurses were quick to shift Kaleb in Ethan's arms while being wrapped in linens now.

It was Ethan's first to see life come out of his wife's. It was his first to carry a newborn in his arms, and it made him happy. He immediately recognized the warmth in his heart, recalling how overjoyed he was when he married Samantha.

While Ethan was immersed with happiness, however, Samantha was still in pain.

She realized she will need to push again with her second baby.

"Yes, Sam. It looks like the second baby is coming faster too," told her doctor. "Let's have a quick ultrasound to make sure everything is okay inside."
