The Abused Luna's Comeback-Chapter 180 - Preparations

[Rose’s P.O.V.]

“I’m sorry, Alonso, Susanna, can you guys excuse us for a moment?”

Although I didn’t know why I suddenly interrupted our conversation and made this request, the two of them tactfully went out and closed the bedroom door.

“Baby, what’s wrong?” asked Edward immediately as soon as they left the bedroom.

“I think I just wet the bed.”

“What?” Edward immediately lifted my quilt. Sure enough, I had wet the bed.

“What happened?!” He muttered to himself before running over to open the bedroom door. “Susanna!”

“What’s wrong?” I heard Susanna’s footsteps approach. When she walked into the bedroom, she simply needed one glance at me and knew what had happened.

“Tell Dr. Baldwin to hurry over! Rose’s water bag has broken. She’s going into labor!”

Edward dashed out of the bedroom like lightning. Although I was already prepared to give birth, it was still a little earlier than I had expected. Did the conversations earlier intensify my emotions so much that they induced early labor?

Edward returned to the room as quickly as he left and Susanna wasted no time in asking him to pick me up so she could clean up the mess I had just made. Even though I had a big belly, Edward still carried me into his arms as if I was weightless.

“I’m sorry, Susanna, that you have to clean up for me.”

“There’s nothing to be sorry about, Rose. It’s a happy occasion.”

I watched Susanna clean up after me as she quickly tore off the dirty sheets and checked the mattress. She had put on a waterproof mattress before this so the mattress wasn’t dirty. Once she had removed the dirty laundry, she put on a new waterproof sheet and brought some new towels and mats before Edward put me down.

Then I heard a knock at the door. It was Dr. Baldwin. He had Edward and Susanna change me into my maternity clothes before he got to work.

To be honest, I didn’t fear having a baby much. Firstly, it was because I believed in Dr. Baldwin. Secondly, although I had heard that having a baby was very painful, I thought my high-pain tolerance as a Werewolf of Chaos would come in handy.

But I quickly realized that I had severely underestimated labor. My first contractions came soon and I had to say, I had never experienced pain like this. It was like someone was drilling into my stomach before grabbing my uterus from the inside out. I couldn’t help but scream.

Dr. Baldwin began to guide my breathing to keep me focused. Edward brought one of my hands with his two big hands to his lips and planted a kiss on it.

“This hurts!” I exclaimed.

“You can do it, Baby. Just hold on a little longer. Dr. Baldwin can give you an anesthetic.”

“How long will this last?!”

“Luna, the contractions will last for a few hours. Tell me, do you want an epidural procedure during labor?”

“What is that?”

“I will inject an anesthetic into the epidural of your spine. It will allow you to relax your pelvic muscles while your mind is clear. This will greatly alleviate your labor pain.”

“Do all other female werewolves do this?”

“Some do, some don’t. But this procedure is very beneficial for first-time mothers who are afraid of pain.”

“I’m not going to use this. I can get through it. If others don’t need it, I don’t either.”

“Rose:”

“I said I can do it! I’m a Luna and a Werewolf of Chaos. I want to truly feel and remember this process.”

“Alright, alright. You’ve always been a strong woman. You’ll be a role model for our children,” said Edward as he kissed my forehead.

Dr. Baldwin checked my heart, lungs, and blood pressure. He then focused on monitoring the heartbeat of the fetus as he drew blood from my veins. I continued to focus on my breathing even though I didn’t know when the next contraction would come. freℯ𝓌e𝚋𝐧𝘰vℯl.𝐜𝚘𝗺

“Susanna, can you prepare some warm water, clean towels, and as many pillows as possible?” asked Dr. Baldwin. Susanna nodded and walked out of the room.

“Dr. Baldwin, when the child is born, please focus on examining his or her spine.” I had not forgotten about the potential abnormality our child could be born with. I even thought I should start praying since I was not in too much pain yet.

“Don’t worry, Luna, leave everything to me. I’ll take good care of you and little Alpha.” Dr. Baldwin smiled gently to reassure me.

“Thank you, Dr. Baldwin.”
