- For God's sake!. — Rose shouted, squeezing my hand even tighter.
—Where is the doctor?, please call her again. — I spoke terrified to the nurse.
At the same moment we heard the door open, I breathed a sigh of relief, the doctor came in taking charge of the situation and seconds later they brought an ultrasound cart, it took her a few minutes to turn it on, examining the screen carefully.
— She turned. — The doctor said, dragging the cart and looking under the cloth, which covered Rose's private parts. — She's already pointing Rose, let's take you to the delivery room.
Rose nodded, releasing all the breath she was holding when she heard that, while I felt a mix of emotions, firstly because Lily had turned, which meant there would be no more cesarean section, secondly because I couldn't bear to see Rose suffering like that anymore. , it was almost 12 hours of agony until Lily finally got into the correct position, Rose waited until the last minute as the doctor had suggested, enduring all that pain alone.
— Lisa, I need you to put on your clothes to enter the delivery room, okay?
A nurse escorted me outside and I stopped in the waiting room to talk to Rose's parents, I was surprised to see Jisoo and Jennie there, I thought they had left.
- And there?. — Everyone got up at the same time and came towards me.
— The baby turned. — Her mother also breathed a sigh of relief, hugging Mr. Park. — She's in labor, 10 centimeters dilated, I'm going to stay with her.
— Go Lisa. — Jisoo said hugging me.
— You will leave there being a mother. — Jennie said, smiling at me and hugging me too.
Then I arrived in the delivery room, putting on the blue clothes, along with a white cap.
Rose was already on the bed, with both legs open and raised, while the doctor positioned herself in front of her.
I stood next to her, receiving her apprehensive look, holding her hand again, as I had done all this time.
— She's pointing Rose, when I count to three you start pushing, ok?, hard. — Rose agreed with a nod. — 1, 2 3
She did what the doctor asked, squeezing my fingers that I couldn't even feel anymore, she screamed in pain, closing her eyes tightly, stopping to breathe seconds later.
— Again, 1 2 , 3.
She repeated the process and I observed her forehead and her red, sweaty face, I couldn't even imagine how much it hurt.
— She's coming out, I need you to push harder.
— I can't do this any harder. — Rose complained, groaning in pain and falling onto the bed behind her.
— You need Rose, she's coming, please.
- Love. — I said, taking his attention. — She's finishing, let's meet our daughter.
— She's hurting. — When I saw tears running down your eyes my heart broke.
I looked at the doctor and Rose, thinking about what I could do to help in that situation.
— Can I climb into bed? — The doctor looked at me confused, but she nodded.
I placed myself behind Rose, receiving her between my legs, holding both her hands firmly.
— Come on Rose, 1 2 3.
She pushed again and again, until on the third push I watched the doctor take the baby in her hands, and we finally heard her cry for the first time.
Rose breathed a sigh of relief, falling with her body on top of me.
- You did it. — I said smiling, kissing the top of his head.
I got up carefully, going to the doctor who was covering the baby, still all dirty with a white cloth.
She gave it to me to hold and for a few seconds my whole world stopped, looking at that beautiful face for the first time, I approached Rose placing the little one on her chest, Rose picked her up with her hands still shaking.
- She is beautiful.
— They need to clean her, do you want to do that Lisa? — I looked at the nurse as she took Lily from our hands.
— Yes, I do. — I said, still smiling from ear to ear.
— The other nurse will take care of your wife, don't worry.
— I'll be right back, okay? —Rose nodded.
I went with the nurse to another part of the room, Lily was still crying a lot and I asked if it was normal, even though I knew it was.
She placed her on a small bed on top of a counter, calmly explaining to me how to carefully clean her body, she wouldn't be able to take a shower for another 7 hours, it wouldn't be necessary to teach me that, I've already read absolutely everything on the subject.
I started crying again as I cleaned her, feeling an enormous happiness invade me, because I was with the woman I loved most in the world, and now I had a daughter with her, a little being that would be a part of both of us forever.
After Lily was clean I was allowed to take her to Rose for her first feeding, I entered the room with Lily in my arms, observing Rose's parents around her.
- I arrived. — I said, receiving both of their attention.
I approached Rose, carefully placing Lily on her lap, Rose looked at her for long minutes, analyzing every detail of the little girl, along with her parents. Then she started to give Lily her first breastfeed, it was a little difficult for Lily to take the nipple, but in the end she managed and fed very little, which was normal, the milk would only come out a lot on the second day.
Rose had already showered and her appearance had improved a lot, even though she still had bags under her eyes, and I knew mine weren't behind.
After half an hour the nurse took Lily for her first exams, and the 4 of us stayed in the room talking about her and the birth.
— Did the girls leave? — I asked, noticing just then that neither Jisoo nor Jennie had entered the room.
— They were sweet, they said they would come back tomorrow for the visit, they wouldn't be able to see Lily properly today.
— I believe she returns to the room with you at night, after the exams and the first bath.
— Yes, I already spoke to her pediatrician.
— You have to rest now, daughter, you've been without sleep for almost a whole day.
— Lisa also needs to rest. — Rose said looking in my direction.
- I am fine. — The three of them looked at me with an obvious expression that I wasn't well, which made me wonder if I looked that tired.
- Love Please. — I shook my head, sitting on the sofa.
Rose took a deep breath and put my stubbornness aside, she was too tired to argue.
— We'll come back tomorrow, okay? Since Lisa is staying. — Rose's mother was talking to her while her father came to me.
— I just wanted to say that I'm proud, it gives me great peace of mind knowing that Rose has someone like you by her side. — I stood up smiling at my father-in-law and receiving a gentle hug from him.
Rose's mother did the same before leaving, I lay down on the sofa next to Rose's bed and we both passed out together.
