My Saviour | Woo Do-hwan

Forty One

With Lily settled and comfortable on the bed and with Do Hwan beside her he turned to her kissing her gently on the lips.

"I'm proud of you Jagi, thank you, thank you for going through this and giving us a beautiful girl. I love you", he spoke softly to then kiss his daughter's head.

"I love you too, both of you", she replied, as she Looked up at her boyfriend she gave him a tired smile.

An hour later after Lily had a chance to bond with her daughter and feed her the midwife returned to the room breaking the pause in silence.

"Well, Lily, the good news is that the afterbirth is all there so we don't need to worry any more on that. But while I'm still here I'll check baby over and with that equipment on the side there I can weigh her to see how much she weighs okay?"

"Okay."

Giving Eaven to the midwife the new parents watched and listened as their daughter fussed a little but didn't cry as the midwife began checking her over but it seemed after a minute or two the midwife stopped making Lily question it and Do Hwan look towards his daughter in concern.

"Is everything okay, is she alright?"

"She hasn't opened one of her eyes yet, but don't worry I'm sure it will open soon and when it does I believe you'll be in for quite a surprise if it is what I believe it to be.", she said moving Eaven onto a piece of cloth and hooking the scales onto the loop in the cloth and gently lifting her up to see how much the little girl weighed.

"There we are, she's coming in at six pounds and four ounces", she announced turning towards the couple, "Now then, I know something she would like, Mr Woo would you like to have skin to skin contact with her it will help her build a bond with you as well, help her regulate her heart rate, breathing and get her use to your sent just like she did with her mother."

Immediately without hesitation, he began unbuttoning his shirt and taking it off putting it to one side, before instinctively holding out his arms as Eaven was gently placed into them. But before long she started to fuss a little with one of her tiny hands catching and grabbing his finger, with quick thinking, Do Hwan began gently stroking her head hoping to soothe her.

"Hey, baby girl shh it's okay, it's okay appa's here it's alright.", he said softly as she had calmed down making cute little noises hence making a small smile appear on his face.

Laying back against the headboard of the bed, he set her gently laying on his chest right near his heart so she listen close to the sound of his heartbeat it proved to be very much effective. Do Hwan could only marvel at the sight of his little girl watching intently with pure love within his eyes and a smile on his face as she tried to snuggle her little body closer to him, her clearly liking the warmth, comfort her appa gave off and not forgetting the gentle thumping sound of his heart.

For a moment he turned his gaze seeing his girlfriend was now in a deep sleep, after all, she deserved a long rest after all the hard work she had put into bringing their daughter into the world and he couldn't be any more amazed and proud of her than he already was and he couldn't tell her enough.

Feeling slight movement on his chest his attention turned back to Eaven as she began to stir from her slumber, he thought she might cry but she didn't instead, she opened both her eyes and he was greeted by the rarest and most beautiful thing he had ever seen, his daughter's eyes were different colours.

Her left eye was dark brown like his, and her right eye was blue like that of her mother's and he was in complete awe by it.

"Oh, my precious girl, my little bunny your eyes are so beautiful.", he spoke in a whisper kissing her head.
