A Former Police Officer Who Died And Get A Second Life!-Chapter 170: A New Life

Feeling apologetic, he allowed the women who had experience with childbirth to help.

While he struggled to endure the pain, Elias held his hand and Qiong Xing squeezed it tightly.

"Sorry. I’m sorry I can’t take your place."

Seeing Qiong Xing’s face tense with pain, Elias gently wiped the sweat from his forehead and kept apologizing.

"It’s okay... it’s okay. Soon... we’ll be able to meet the child."

Because this was a human birth and especially because it was a man giving birth for the first time everyone was a little confused. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

However, the experienced mothers in the hideout remained calm and gave clear instructions to Leander and the others.

And so, for several long hours, Qiong Xing endured while feeling like he might go mad from the pain.

After several more hours passed, the time finally came.

After all that pain... the baby was not born easily.

While enduring the intense pain, Qiong Xing finally managed to give birth safely.

It definitely did not feel like "a watermelon coming out of the nose."

The pain was far worse than he had imagined.

Many times he felt like he might lose consciousness, but he had to keep going.

If he didn’t deliver the baby, the child would be in danger too.

At last, the baby cried loudly and strongly.

It was a girl.

If anything, she seemed to resemble Elias a little more.

Qiong Xing felt like crying, but he had no strength left. So Elias gently picked up the baby and showed her to him instead.

"She’s... a girl."

"Yeah. It’s amazing. She’s really alive."

The baby’s tiny hand moved as if searching for something.

When Qiong Xing let her hold his finger, her small hand wrapped tightly around it.

"She’s so small."

"She is. But compared to a newborn beastkin, she’s actually pretty big. You did well. Thank you."

Elias kissed Qiong Xing’s forehead gently as if praising him.

Feeling completely drained, Qiong Xing apologized silently and fell asleep as if he had fainted.

...Or at least, that’s what he thought.

A loud and energetic cry immediately woke him up.

"I’m sorry to wake you. I think she wants milk."

At some point, his sweat-covered body had already been cleaned.

While still half-asleep, Qiong Xing reached out his arms.

Elias helped him sit up and supported his back.

Then Qiong Xing fed the baby from his chest.

Even though his chest did not have the fullness of a woman’s, the milk still came out. The first time it happened, he had been very surprised.

The baby sucked eagerly while making soft sounds as she drank.

"...Sleepy... so sleepy..."

Qiong Xing’s head slowly leaned against Elias’s broad chest.

His arms felt like they might give out, but he forced himself to hold on.

He was so tired.

"I’m supporting you. You can sleep if you want."

Elias’s steady presence made Qiong Xing want to leave everything to him. But since he had given birth, he felt that he should do his best too.

He endured until the baby finished drinking.

After gently helping her burp, he laid her down on the bed.

Seeing the baby sleeping peacefully, Qiong Xing finally relaxed.

That was his mistake.

The strength suddenly left his body.

He leaned forward and collapsed as he hitting his head against the edge of the bed.

"Qiong Xing!?"

"Ow... that hurts..."

The pain woke Qiong Xing up again.

His head throbbed painfully and he felt like crying.

"Are you alright?" Elias asked.

"...Yes."

But honestly, everything felt like a mess right now.

"By the way, where are Leander and the others?"

Leander who would normally be celebrating loudly was nowhere to be seen.

Joa who had been there earlier was also missing.

When Qiong Xing asked what had happened, the answer was exactly what he expected.

Leander had been making too much noise, so Joa had thrown him out of the room.

Apparently Cari and Albe were also waiting outside with them.

Since the baby was sleeping now, Qiong Xing asked someone to bring them in.

"Whoa... she’s so tiny."

"Is... Cari a big brother now?"

"That’s right. Both Cari and Albe are big brothers now. She’s a girl, so make sure you protect her, okay?"

"Okay!!"

Qiong Xing smiled when he saw them staring closely at the baby.

Then he called Leander over who had been waiting nervously.

When Qiong Xing hugged him, he felt Leander’s shoulders finally relax as if he had been holding his breath the whole time.

When Qiong Xing hugged Joa as well, Joa laughed and praised him.

"You did well."

"It’s the daughter you’ve all been waiting for. So, do your best as her Fathers"

"Of course."

"Leave it to us!"

"No way I’m letting her get married."

Those were confident answers, but... Joa?

Isn’t that a little too early?

When Qiong Xing laughed at the sudden overprotective father comment, even Albe, who had been listening nearby, gave Joa an exasperated look.

"When things calm down, we should go tell Naz and the others. And we should show her to Sarin too. Otherwise, who knows what he’ll say."

"Yeah. That guy will probably cry from happiness."

That... might actually happen.

If Sarin had reacted that much during the pregnancy, then seeing the baby might make him shout with joy.

Just imagining it made Qiong Xing think, that sounds troublesome.

But if they didn’t go visit, that would probably cause even more trouble later.

"Well, when things settle down... we’ll think about it. Giving birth was hard, but things will get even harder from now on. I probably won’t be able to sleep much, so sorry, but please help me."

Beastkin children apparently grow quickly, so they do not require as much care. But human babies are very different.

They need to be fed every few hours, sometimes even every few minutes.

And in this world, there was no powdered milk.

That meant Qiong Xing had no choice but to feed the baby himself.
