The Shining Star Above The Heaven-Chapter 911: The Birth of Little Angel

Two days later, Irene and Aldrey were inside their room after Irene took a walk in the garden. Aldrey held his wife’s hand softly as he guided her toward the balcony, where one of the Irene’s favourite resting spot was. From there, she could see the clear sky and the distant scenery from the high ground.

In the third trimester of her pregnancy, she did not know why, but she liked to sit in that spot and look at the clear sky.

"Don’t you want to stay inside? With your due date getting closer, the cold outside is not good for you," Aldrey said with worry.

Irene smiled. "Why are you so worried? There will be no problem, and I think our baby also likes..." But before she could finish her words, she suddenly felt something from her stomach. She frowned before her expression tightened in pain.

"Ah." She let out a soft moan as she touched her belly.

Seeing this, Aldrey widened his eyes and quickly steadied her so she would not collapse.

"Dear?!"

"Aldrey, it hurts... my stomach... I think our daughter is coming."

Aldrey did not waste any time and shouted, "Elder Lina! Irene will give birth!" His voice echoed through the vast space, and everyone in the palace grounds could hear it.

Not even three seconds after his shout, a figure suddenly appeared beside them.

Aldrian showed a worried expression, and it grew even heavier when he saw his mother’s pained face.

"Mother." He wanted to ease her pain, but Irene stopped him with a slight smile, already knowing what her son intended to do.

"No, you don’t have to do that," she said amidst the pain. "It’s only your little sister wanting to get out. I can still endure this."

"But—" Aldrian wanted to refute her words, but Irene had already cut him off.

"This pain is caused by our new family, and I want to feel it, just like when you were about to be born into this world. It’s okay."

Aldrian could feel the determination in his mother’s pained expression. Was it because of her love for her child? A deep love strong enough for her to accept the pain of labor? Was this her way of showing her love—by embracing everything her child brought her, even the pain?

Aldrian could not help but feel touched, and he wanted to support her.

Bam!

"My lady," Elder Lina, the physician and wife of Elder Weijun, suddenly entered the room with three other women physicians.

They were the team prepared for Irene’s labor, and all of them had stayed near her all this time, waiting for the due moment.

The physicians quickly helped Irene lie down on the bed nearby. They decided to use this bedroom as the place for her delivery.

Elder Lina then grabbed Aldrey’s and Aldrian’s hands and pulled them outside.

"I know Lord Aldrey will likely faint the moment he sees Lady Irene start to strain, just like when he almost fainted during young master Aldrian’s birth. That’s why you two should wait outside. Young master Aldrian, stay with your father and calm him," she said before pushing them out and quickly closing the door.

Aldrian stood stunned, while his father wore an anxious expression. Aldrian could not help but glance at him.

"You almost fainted when Mother gave birth to me?"

"Shut up! You don’t understand!" his father said in embarrassment as his face turned red. Even so, he kept staring at the closed door with a worried expression. Aldrian did not tease him further and waited with him. He had just discovered another side of his father, who always seemed strong.

He found it amusing that his father, who never turned away from slaughter and bloodshed, would almost faint at the sight of his mother in labor. But he did not mock him. It only showed how deeply his father loved his mother, so much that he could not bear to see her in pain.

He couldn’t help but suddenly imagine what would happen if he were like his father and ended up almost fainting the moment his own child was born.

He quickly shook his head to get rid of that image. He would stay strong for his women, for his dignity in the future!

He strengthened that resolve inside his heart.

From the hallway, a few figures rushed toward them. They were his women, Eleine, and from the other end of the hallway, the spirit ancestor and her two companions appeared.

"How is Mother-in-law?" Sylphia asked once they arrived.

"Elder Lina is already inside, and they just started the labor process," Aldrian answered.

The others looked at the room worriedly, while the spirit ancestor and her two companions also watched the door, anticipating the birth and the arrival of a new member of Aldrian’s family. The spirit ancestor knew there would be no problem with the labor, as this family had already been blessed with Aldrian’s presence.

No sound came from the room because of the soundproof formation, so all of them could only wait until Elder Lina or someone inside informed them that the labor had finished.

For the next few minutes, Aldrey walked back and forth in restless agitation. He took a deep breath several times to calm himself, but he still could not steady his nerves and continued to look anxious.

The others were not surprised by Aldrey’s behavior. They understood his anxiety. As a husband who loved his wife, he expressed his worry this way.

After waiting for a few more minutes, the door of the room suddenly opened, prompting all of them to look in its direction. Elder Lina appeared from behind the door with a smile, which was the first good sign.

"It’s done. Congratulations, Lord Aldrey. You may enter now," she said, making Aldrey rush inside the room. Elder Lina stepped aside to let him in, and the others also wanted to follow. Aldrian went in right after his father, as he also wanted to see his little sister quickly.

Once Aldrian entered, he turned to look at his mother. She had already changed into a clean robe. Her tired face and the sweat running down her beautiful features showed how much she had struggled during labor.

His father was showering her with affection, holding her hand and gently touching her face while also glancing at the small figure beside her with teary eyes.

Aldrian’s gaze slowly shifted to the side of his mother, and he finally saw her clearly, the little being who made his brotherly feelings bloom. He stepped closer to get a better look at his little sister.

A cute baby with black hair, just like her mother, was wrapped in a white cloth to protect her tiny body. Her eyes were still closed, and she sometimes moved her head as if trying to adjust into a more comfortable position. Soft sounds like "ack, ack" escaped her lips as she shifted.

"How cute," Sylphia commented beside him while focusing on the baby and Aldrian nodded.

"I want to hold her," his father said as Aldrey looked at the newborn.

Elder Lina, who stood not far from him, approached the baby and slowly picked her up before carefully placing her into Aldrey’s arms.

"Here you go," she said.

Aldrey moved very carefully, as if he were receiving the most fragile treasure in the world and feared dropping her. Once the baby was safely in his arms, Aldrey smiled at her.

"My daughter, you are so beautiful, just like your mother," he mumbled. He continued smiling for a few moments before turning his gaze to Aldrian.

"Come here," he said. Aldrian walked closer and stood beside his father to look at his little sister. He couldn’t help but smile warmly and gently touch her cheek with the tip of his finger. He tapped her cheek a few times, which made her let out soft "ack, ack" sounds and move her head as if responding to his touch. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

"Do you already have a name for her?" Aldrian asked as he looked at his father and mother.

Aldrey nodded. "Yes, we already decided on a name for her." His gaze softened even more.

"We decided she will carry your mother’s family surname. Her name is Celestina Rivas. Our beautiful angel, another blessing from the heavens for us."

Aldrian smiled. "Celestina... Celestina. Yes, it is a beautiful name."

"Do you want to try holding her?" Aldrey asked suddenly, making Aldrian raise his eyebrows.

"You should learn how to hold a baby, you know, so you won’t be ignorant when you face your own child in the future," Aldrey said teasingly before he shifted the baby slightly toward Aldrian.

"Here."

Aldrian slowly took the baby from his father’s arms.

"Careful, careful," Aldrey said as he finally handed the baby to Aldrian.

Once Aldrian fully held the baby, he couldn’t help but feel an overwhelming affection for the little being in his arms. He kept his warm smile and spoke to her with a soft voice.

"Celestina, this is your big brother. Welcome to our family."

He then suddenly felt an intent descend from the heavens, congratulating his family and giving its blessing to his little sister.

Aldrian inwardly nodded at the heaven’s gesture, and his gaze softened.

’Although I don’t know our future, big brother will always protect you.’ he thought.
