You drew in a sharp breath and tried to stifle the cry that escaped your lips as another contraction rippled through your body and made you double over in pain.

The midwives surrounding you desperately tried to comfort you and calm you down but with every passing second you would grow more and more irritated with them.

"I don't care I want him here!"
You shouted at one of them who just told you that the father of the child - your fiancé - is not allowed to be with you while giving birth.
45 minutes of being in labor have already passed and you desperately wanted Johann by your side.
You certainly did appreciate the midwives helping you out in this situation but you felt like the only one who was able to help you calm down and keep you from loosing your mind would be your soon to be husband.

Suddenly the doors burst open and Johann came into view.

You let out a small sigh of relief and a smile started to form on your face which quickly turned into another frown as you yelled out when a sharp pain shot through your body.

"I'm here my beloved."
Johann cooed as he quickly went around the bed and kneeled down next to you.

He pulled out a handkerchief to dab away the sweat forming on your forehead and took your hand into his own.

The midwives muttered something along them and threw a disapproving glance his way but you decided to ignore it and instead just gazed into your lover's eyes who was now playing softly with your hair.

"Take deep breaths with me."
He whispered to you as he noticed how you were taking in short quick breaths and started to demonstrate.
"In through the nose, out through the mouth. Just like that."

You tried synching your breathing with his but another contraction caused you to wail and turn your upper body away from him as you shut your eyes tightly.

You felt a warm hand coming up to cup your cheek and Johann turned your head to face him again.

"It's going to be okay, you'll make it through this."
He placed a quick kiss on your forehead and you looked up at him with tears forming in your eyes.
You blinked and they ran down your face but he quickly wiped them away with his thumb.

"Miss, we need you to start pushing now."
One of the midwives called out to you and you looked once more to Johann who nodded at you.
His other hand went to hold your hand as well so that now he was grasping it with both of his hands as you tightened your grip on them and started to push.

While you kept pushing a stabbing and tearing pain in your groin area causing you to cry out.

"The baby's crowning, keep pushing."

After pushing for what felt like half an eternity you began to feel exhausted and a little dizzy.

"I don't think I can do this."
You whimpered as you let your head roll to the side, facing Johann.

He kissed your hand clutched in between his own before reaching out a hand to tuck away a strand of hair that fell in your face.

"You're wrong. You can do this. I know you can. Think of our baby and how you will be a wonderful mother."

You took a few more breaths before you closed your eyes and continued pushing.

"Almost!"

You let out a scream as you pushed even harder and soon you felt a great rush of relief wash over you.
The sound of a baby's crying resonated through the room and the corners of your mouth twitched upwards.

You opened your eyes to look up at Johann who had his eyes set on the midwife holding your baby.

"You need to keep pushing a little more, we need to get the placenta out."
Another midwife informed you and you let out a groan of frustration and pushed as hard as your tired body allowed you to.

When finally the torture was over Johann got up and went over to the midwife who held your baby which was already cleaned and wrapped in a small blanket.

She whispered something to him as she handed him the baby and he turned around and crouched back down next to you.

"We have a beautiful and healthy baby girl."
Johann grinned at you and you gave him a small smile back before you looked down at the small screaming bundle in his arms.

"C-can I hold her?"
You croaked out.
Your throat was raw and dry from all the inhuman noises you made and you still haven't fully caught your breath.

"Yes, of course."
He murmured as he carefully passed you the tiny girl and you slowly sat up a little on the bed before you welcomed her in your arms.

"Hi, hi there."
You softly cooed to the baby who was quieting down a little and just let out small whimpers.

"Our beautiful Lavinia."
The mattress sunk a little as Johann sat down to you on the bed, placed an arm around your shoulder and pressed his lips on your hair.
He caressed your upper arm with his fingers as the both of you looked down at your new born child.

"I love you, my dearest."
He lifted his hand up and tilted your face to him with his fingers on your chin before he leaned down and enveloped your mouth with his own for a passionate kiss filled with all the love he held in him for you.

Once the baby was out you felt a wave of euphoria but now it was fading and you felt the strain the process of giving birth had on your body.
You began to feel even more tired than you already were and your whole body felt extremely sore, especially in your abdominal area.

Johann noticed your discomfort and took Lavinia back into his arms again.

"You need to rest, beloved. I- We will be here when you wake up."
He gave you another chaste kiss to your lips and got up from the bed.

He left the room and after the midwives did a quick check up on everything and made sure that you were okay they exited the bedroom as well and you finally were able to get some sleep.

You drifted off into a deep and relaxing sleep while thinking about how happy you finally were.

You build up a new life in Vienna.
Nobody knew you around here and you were safe.
You were engaged to the love of your life and even have a child with him now.

Everything fell into place just perfectly and now you could finally have your happy ever after.
