Love In The Air (MXTX Crossovers)

Maybe...

Maybe he was hallucinating that something's wrong with him, or maybe he was not. He might have heard people panic over something or maybe not. He thought he was awake the whole time to know what exactly was going on, but maybe he was not.

The bright light illuminated through the room over Shen Qingqiu's head. His face had become pale and calm. Even calmer than he should be. The moment his water broke in the car was when Lan Wangji turned the wheels away from home and towards the hospital.

Everybody was half panic stricken except for Shen Qingqiu himself. He fell unconscious due to the excruciating pain in his belly. Though his due date was a week far, nobody expected this to happen this soon. The doctors came rushing into the room and sending other people out of the OT.

Luo Binghe was the only one left with the other doctors. He held Shen Qingqiu's hand and constantly whispered in his ears. Constantly coaxing him that everything will be alright. Once in a while Shen Qingqiu used to wince in pain and Luo Binghe frequently whiped his sweat from his forehead and kissed him to calm him down.

It was after 3 hours of constant high blood pressure that Shen Qingqiu was now as tired as he was on a brink of collapsing into a coma. All the doctors and Luo Binghe tried their best to keep him awake the whole time. The state of being half awake and half asleep was rather too tiring for him. The struggles of forcing oneself to keep their senses active was exhausting and now Shen Qingqiu had forced himself way too much.

He was aware of nothing around him and now that he thought about it, he only wanted to have a peaceful rest. He slowly closed his eyes, preventing the bright light to enter and drifted into slumber, unaware of the panicked and anxious voices surrounding him.

...

The next day at 2 in the morning, the doctors declared the news.

1. The baby girl was born. Healthy as she should be. Weighed 3.12 kgs.

2. Due to excessive exhaution, Shen Qingqiu fell into Coma, not known when he would wake up.

Though doctors predicted that he would wake up in max to max 3-4 days, still, as a doctor, Luo Binghe knew it best. That the predictions are afterall words giving hope.

The girl which He Xuan carried in his arms and passed her to her father, was a sweet little creature who mostly took after her papa¹. Her eyes were brownish tinted with a shade of green in them just like Shen Qingqiu. He fluffy straight hair were the exact opposite of Luo Binghe. Her small little palms and an even smaller mole like a dot on the back of her hand, that too exactly like Shen Qingqiu. She was the exact carbon copy of her papa and that gave another reason to her daddy to love her even more.

Two days passed and Shen Qingqiu still didn't show any sign of waking up. The baby girl once in a while let herself cry for she longed for her papa, the one who bore her. Luo Binghe used to occasionally place her beside Shen Qingqiu just for her to have the scent of her bearer, this used to calm her and give her a sense of security.

Hua Cheng and Xie Lian visited them occasionally. Hua Cheng would bring some foods for his friend on the way. They both used to wait in the hospital until Xie Lian felt a little tired. He knew his capacity and tolerance and the other understood him. They would bid their farewell until the next day and this had become their routine.

Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian went to work for a few days until they got the news of Xie Lian being admitted into the hospital. In the OT, Xie was awake with his husband beside him. He was crying in pain as he saw the doctors cut his stomach open. He could not bear the pain and fell unconscious. The next day as he was still high on anesthesia, he came to know that he had given birth to the twin boys.

They both were identical to the point that even their father was confused on who was who. The moment Xie Lian opened his eyes, he saw the heads of his friends above him. His vision was blurry and his consciousness was not fully recovered. The next moment he heard a sweet baby cry. It sounded far away at the beginning but when he properly registered the noise beside him, he jolted up staright.

Xie Lian was now fully awake staring at the two babies in Hua Cheng's arms. The mascular man holding his pieces of heart in a very careful way. He had a thin smile on his face as he looked and sweetly talked to the two small creatures in his arms. As he looked up at Xie Lian, the both could see mist in each other’s eyes.

"Gege. You want to hold them?"

Hua Cheng asked softly in a very low voice which was rather audible quite clearly to the latter. Xie Lian simply nodded while sniffing his tears back and smiling the whole time. Hua Cheng slowly carefully progressed towards the bed and he first swiftly passed one of the boy to his husband. Then when he saw that Xie Lian was done adjusting and was waiting for another, he passed the other as well.

"What did you name them?" Xie Lian sniffed again and asked softly.

Hua Cheng shifted in his position, closer to his husband and then lightly stroked the head of the first baby.

"This...is Ming-er"

And then stroking the head of the other baby boy he said,

"And this...is Rouye."

Hearing the names of his two babies, Xie Lian finally let out his tears which he had been holding until now. The tears fell and the exhaution of a the past few hours kicked in. His vision blurred and he rested his head on Hua Cheng's shoulder.
