Chapter 59 Twins
But since it was her first child, the contractions came very quickly, and soon Gu Qiuyue's hair was wet.
Wang Xiulan saw that her daughter-in-law still needed some time to dilate, so she hurried to the door and asked Xie Shiyu to go home and prepare some food. "Yueyue will need a lot of energy to give birth soon. Go prepare some porridge or noodles to replenish her energy."
After hearing this, Xie Shiyu quickly stuffed the delivery bag in his arms to his mother and ran out with his limping legs.
By the time Xie Shiyu came back with the egg noodles, another two hours had passed, but Gu Qiuyue's stomachache was gone. Wang Xiulan came in with the egg noodles and fed her immediately. Gu Qiuyue even closed her eyes and rested for a while after eating.
But after a short while, Gu Qiuyue suddenly felt pain again. It was a completely different kind of pain from the cramping pain at the beginning. This was probably the pain when opening the finger that Sun Juan had told her about. Sun Juan said it would be painful, but she really didn't expect it to be so painful.
Gu Qiuyue even cried and said to Wang Xiulan: "Mom, I will never give birth again. You can't let me give birth again!"
"Okay, okay, we won't have any more children. We won't have any more children after this one. I'll ask Shi Yu to get a sterilization." Wang Xiu Lan comforted.
The nurse on the side wanted to laugh when she heard this. She must be the mother, otherwise how could she even say such a thing as asking her son to get a sterilization.
The head nurse also comforted her, "Don't be afraid, your baby is in a good position. If it wasn't your first baby, you would have been born long ago."
Gu Qiuyue: "..." What else could she say.
In the delivery room, Gu Qiuyue was sweating profusely from the pain. Outside the room, Xie Shiyu wished he could stare through the door.
After enduring what felt like centuries, a loud cry announcing the victory of life finally erupted from behind the tightly closed door.
"Wow!"
The sound was so clear and powerful, like a thunder that tore through the darkness, penetrating the heavy door panel unhindered and fiercely striking Xie Shiyu's eardrum. His whole body shook violently, as if struck by an invisible electric current, and his stiff body instantly broke free from its restraints.
He stood up suddenly and rushed to the door in one step, his movements so fast that they brought up a gust of wind.
But the door of the delivery room was not open. Gu Qiuyue was giving birth to her second child inside at that time. She didn't even have time to see her first child.
The nurses were quite supportive and encouraged her, "Look, your birth went really smoothly. Some people struggle a lot with their first child, and it's really a quick one."
Wang Xiulan wrapped up her eldest grandson and held Gu Qiuyue's hand, saying, "That's right. You gave birth much faster than I did. Back then, that brat wasn't as sympathetic to his mother as your son. He tossed and turned all day and refused to come out. In the end, his father threatened to beat him three times a day if he didn't come out, and that's when he finally came out."
Gu Qiuyue almost laughed out loud after hearing her mother-in-law's revelations, but she remembered that she still had to give birth to a child and couldn't laugh, as laughing would relieve her strength.
With the encouragement of the nurse and mother-in-law, Gu Qiuyue tried her best to give birth to another child.
"Oh my! This is amazing! It's a little girl. Now we have a son and a daughter, twins!" The nurse handed the baby to Wang Xiulan to see. Wang Xiulan's face was almost wrinkled with smile. After quickly wrapping the baby up, her daughter-in-law came over and said, "Yueyue, you have worked hard!"
Xie Shiyu outside heard another baby crying and was stunned. His wife had given birth to his second child, but why was the door in front of him closed? Was there something wrong with his wife?
Thinking of this, he trembled all over until the delivery room opened a crack, and Wang Xiulan and a nurse came out, each holding a tightly wrapped small package, their faces filled with sincere joy: "Shiyu, come and see your son and daughter!" Wang Xiulan said happily.
Xie Shiyu didn't even look at the two small packages, and asked repeatedly: "How is my wife?"
"Don't worry, although we just found out you're having twins, the birth went smoothly. Mother and child are all safe, and they'll be out soon." The nurse saw Xie Shiyu sweating profusely from anxiety and hurriedly comforted him.
"Yes, Shi Yu, don't just stand here like an idiot. Go back and order some noodles or porridge for Qiuyue. We need to nourish her later." Wang Xiulan looked at her son who looked like an idiot and said with disgust.
When Xie Shiyu heard his mother say that his wife and child were safe, he finally felt relieved. When he heard his mother asking him to go back and get food for his wife, the man had no complaints at all. After all, his wife must have suffered a lot this time.
When he came back with a lunch box of chicken porridge, Gu Qiuyue and the children had already been transferred to the ward, and it was already dark.
"Wife." Xie Shiyu sat down beside Gu Qiuyue's bed and called her softly.
Gu Qiuyue just felt tired and hungry now. She didn't want to say a word and just looked at him.
"Thank you, my wife! I'm sorry, my wife, I was careless and didn't realize you were having twins." Xie Shiyu kissed Gu Qiuyue's forehead. "Are you hungry? I made your favorite chicken porridge. Can I feed you some?"
"You go take care of the child, I'll feed Yueyue." Wang Xiulan took the lunch box.
"No, Mom, you're tired too. Why don't you rest for a while on the bed next to you?" He knew that the children were healthy, so he didn't have to worry. Besides, both children were placed with their mother now, so it didn't matter if they saw them later.
Wang Xiulan didn't feel tired at all, and just sat aside and looked at the two little kids. "They are indeed my grandchildren, they are so beautiful."
On this side, Gu Qiuyue was really hungry. She quickly finished her chicken porridge and yawned, "Shi Yu, I want to take a nap. You go and see our child." After she said the last word, she closed her eyes.
Xie Shiyu also knew that his wife must be very tired, so he packed the lunch box carefully and then went to Wang Xiulan to see his child.
Both children were wrapped in small blankets. At that time, Gu Qiuyue and everyone else did not think that she was carrying twins, because although her belly was bigger than that of an ordinary pregnant woman, it was not too big, otherwise the two mothers would not have been able to see any clues. It was just that when Gu Qiuyue was preparing the blankets, she thought that she could wash and change the two babies, but now they were all used.
Seeing him looking at the two babies as if they were rare treasures, Wang Xiulan smiled and said, "This is the brother and this is the sister. They were born less than half an hour apart." Who do they resemble? Xie Shiyu's eyes greedily traced the contours of the two small facial features: the eyebrows... the bridge of the nose... A surging heat rushed into his eyes without warning, blurring his vision in an instant.
Xie Shiyu stretched out his hands almost instinctively. His movements were clumsy but filled with an indescribable caution, as if he was holding the most fragile and precious treasure in the world. However, this new father obviously didn't know how to hold a child. As soon as the child was in his arms, his mouth pouted and he started crying.
Xie Shiyu was startled and looked at Wang Xiulan for help. Wang Xiulan rolled her eyes and reached out to adjust her son's position. "Relax a little, this is your son, not a time bomb."
Sure enough, after Wang Xiulan's guidance, the little guy finally stopped crying in his father's arms. Instead, he blew bubbles at him, which made the man's heart soften.
