Chapter 104: Giving Birth

The Theta and Iotas surrounded me. I bit my lower lip as the pain was unbearable. Soon, I tasted blood in my mouth because of that. The Theta ordered Mimi and Melanie to prepare clean towels and hot water while an Iota wiped my forehead.

“Miss Anna, open your legs. Your pup will come to the world soon,” another Iota said with her calming voice.

“Is … is my pup still alive? I felt enormous pain before, and the liquid broke already.” I bit my lower lip again, trying not to sob, but I failed. Since I had already experienced it before, it was hurtful if I lost my pup one more time.

“Please open your legs widely. I will check your pup now.” Then the Iota caressed my leg tenderly. “It will be alright. Don’t worry.”

I nodded, truly wishing she was right. I let her check my pup’s condition while praying to the Highest One for my pup’s life. Then suddenly, I felt more pains in my stomach, my back, and hip until I screamed.

“Miss, your pup is still alive. He wants to see the world soon. Now, take a deep breath slowly and exhale slowly too.”

I sobbed as I was too happy to hear that. Then, as the Iota pinched my leg a little to get my attention, I nodded. “Yes, I will.” Soon, I followed her instructions to inhale and exhale slowly.

The pain accumulated, and I stopped breathing because of the unbearable pain. However, the Iota touched my leg. “Breathe, miss. Breathe!”

I followed her order again. This time, the Theta returned. When he saw the Iota instructed me already, he smiled. “Miss, I will let the Iota handle you. Don’t worry. You are doing good! Keep breathing like now.”

Another Iota brought a towel. She wiped my forehead with a cool towel. Then again, the pain increased, and I yelled. “It hurts! I can’t stand it anymore!”

“Miss, your pup will come to the world soon. Keep breathing!” the Iota said.

I shook my head. “If I die, please tell Cameron to take care of our pup.” My tears flowed to the pillow.

The Theta held my hand and shook his head. “You won’t die, miss. Remember, you will have the marking ceremony and be our Luna in two days. Besides, your pup will need their mother.”

I sobbed hard. “But it hurt too much! I don’t know if I can survive.” I gulped as another wave of pain came again.

“Breathe, miss. Don’t think of anything,” the Iota said. “Think about how handsome or how beautiful your pup is when you have given birth to them.” We didn’t know if my pup would be a male or female. But what the Iota said was true. So, I stopped thinking of death and started thinking of happiness.

After another pain, suddenly, I heard a loud cry. I gulped to breathe, but the Theta smiled at me. “Congratulations, Miss Anna. You have given birth to a son. Do you want to see your pup?”

I nodded. “Yes, please. I want to hold him.”

The Iota cleaned the pup first, wrapping him with a clean and dry towel, then gave my pup to the Theta. Then the Theta gently placed the pup on my chest. I cried when I saw the pup’s face. He looked like Cameron with his black eyes and black hair. I kissed his forehead and hugged him gently. My pup was so handsome, just like his father. Oh, how Cameron would be so proud to see our son.

I smiled and shed tears again. My pup showed his tongue and then approached my breast.

“Your pup wants to breastfeed, miss. You can give him the first milk.”

I gulped and let my son drink my milk. His tiny mouth opened and drank my milk greedily. He must be hungry, as he drank a lot. But then, another sharp pain came inside of my stomach. I gasped. “Theta, I have a sudden ache in my stomach. Is it normal?”

The Theta frowned and immediately checked my stomach. He touched it a little, and the pain increased.

“Argh!” I screamed again.

The Theta nodded at the Iota. The Iota grinned and touched my leg. “Miss Anna, you will give birth to another pup.”

“A-another pup?” I widened my eyes. “I will have twins?”

“Yes, miss. Oh, it’s wonderful.”

Another Iota then took my son from my breast. My son cried loudly, but the Iota patted his head tenderly until he ceased crying. I breathed again, inhaled and exhaled slowly, like before. As it was my second pup, I felt much better because I knew what I must do this time, and after this, I would see my second pup..

After ten minutes, my second pup, a beautiful daughter, was born. When the Theta handed over my daughter, I smiled. Her red hair and face were exactly my replica.

“She is pretty, miss. I think she will break many hearts when she grows up,” the Theta commented.

I grinned and brought my crying daughter to my breast. That’s when my son wailed. The Theta and Iotas laughed to hear my twins crying at the same time.

“Your house won’t be quiet anymore, miss. Prepare for lack of sleep, as the twins will make you quite busy.”

I giggled, but stopped right away because of the ache. I let my daughter drink my milk. As my son kept crying, I finally asked the Iota to let him continue drinking too. So, I breastfed my twins at the same time. I stared at a pair of black eyes belonged to my son and the green eyes of my daughter while they drank milk. It was like a full cycle for me. Holding my twins in my arms was a dream come true. I lost my pup in the past life, but the Highest One granted me with two pups in the current life. What else could I ask more? My heart was full of happiness.

I was waiting for Cameron to come home to see and hold our twins. It would be my greatest moment to be with my family.
