The room was calm, the lights were dimmed, soft music could be heard, the only people in the room were Viktor Nikiforov, his husband, Yuuri Katsuki, and a midwife.

Viktor was soaking in a tub of warm water, his eyes closed, his forehead leaned against his arm, his free hand holding Yuuri's and the midwife behind Viktor, gently rubbing his back as his labor progressed.

Soft breaths came from Viktor's parted lips, Yuuri's fingers gently weaved through his hair.

"That's it, breathe" the midwife spoke softly, checking Viktor's dilation, causing him to wince.

"It hurts..." he whimpered softly. The midwife rubbed his back.

"I know the dilation check isn't the most comfortable, but I have good news, you're almost fully dilated" the midwife said softly with a warm smile, rubbing his back in apology.

After a few more minutes in the tub of warm water, Viktor got tired of sitting down and wanted to stand up to stretch his legs.

With Yuuri and the midwife's help, he stood up and got out of the tub.

He did various labor exercises, such as squatting with Yuuri's support, he leaned against Yuuri's shoulders and swayed his hips, Yuuri sat in a chair and held Viktor up while he swayed his hips, as well as other positions.

During the midst of all of this, it was getting harder and harder to keep the calm atmosphere.

A good several hours passed since his labor began, his water finally broke while he was leaning against Yuuri's shoulders, he gasped when it happened, Yuuri knew it was time and helped Viktor to their bed.

Viktor settled on the bed on his hands and knees, breathing through his increasing contractions, he closed his eyes, leaned against Yuuri's chest and slowly rocked his hips from side to side.

Yuuri rubbed Viktor's back to help comfort him.

Viktor panted softly, gripping onto Yuuri's leg.

"Shhh, breathe, you're doing beautifully." Yuuri whispered soothingly, gently rubbing his husband's back. "You're doing beautifully"

"Ohhh... Yuuri..." Viktor whimpered, leaning against Yuuri's shoulder.

"Shhh, shhh, shhh, it's okay, you're doing great." Yuuri whispered soothingly.

The midwife stood by the bed. "The baby's crowning" she said with a smile.

Viktor smiled at this, feeling encouraged, he moved away from Yuuri a bit, his breathing slowed down and calmer, he sat on his hands and knees and pushed very gently with each breath.

Soon, he gasped, looking down between his trembling legs. "Oh! I... I see her head" he exclaimed, reaching his hand down to brush his fingertips against the top of his baby's head.

He gripped onto Yuuri's shoulders again, taking deep breaths, feeling the head turn and shoulders shift, he let go of Yuuri's shoulders again, gripping onto the sheet beneath him, he began to push harder than he had been.

With the midwife and Yuuri both encouraging him, he continues to push between each intake of breath, his body began to shake a bit, suddenly, he gasped.

"Oh! Ohh... Ohhh! Come on, baby. J-just a bit more, you can do it" he said softly, the baby's head now fully crowned.

He looked up at Yuuri with teary eyes and a smile. "Dark hair, a full head of dark hair" he leaned his head against Yuuri's chest, continuing to push

Then, with one more hard push, Viktor quickly reached down and caught the baby girl in his arms, loud cries filled the room as the tired man turned around and leaned against Yuuri's chest, cradling his baby girl.

"Oh, she's so beautiful" Viktor awed at his baby girl, gently brushing his hand against her head, he looked up at Yuuri and kissed his lips.

Yuuri looked down at his newborn daughter with a proud smile. "I'm so proud of you, Viktor. You've given me something even more precious than a gold medal, our beautiful baby girl"
