RIHAAN'S P.O.V

Ayushi you are coming with me in a labor room. "

Ayushi's eyes widened as she shook her head.

"I can't. I'll just observe from behind the glass wall like always," she said.

"Ms. Ayushi, I'm sorry if you feel like I was asking you. It's an order. Mr. Vishal, you too will be joining me inside. It's a great opportunity for you two. But you two will do nothing. You two will just stand there and if we ask you to do anything then you two will do. And you two will follow orders from everyone who will be present in the room including the nurses so no question should be raised later," I said.

Ayushi glared at me, but without giving her a second look, I left for my cabin.

Ayushi followed behind me and entered my cabin.

"Rihaan..."

"Professor or sir," I interrupted her. I don't want her to think she can do anything because she is training under me.

"Rih..."

"Ms. Ayushi..."

She pulled my collar and started kissing my lips aggressively.

"I get scared seeing women shouting in pain. How will I stand in a room where she is present too?"

"Ayushi, if I hear you deny the offer like this then..."

"What then? I'm not scared of you."

"You should be," we heard mom's voice from behind.

I freed my collar from her hold and pulled away, standing at a distance from her. We looked at my mom. Ayushi looked down immediately upon seeing her father standing there too.

"Ayushi, during lunchtime, I want you in my office," Sir said. Mom looked at him, then shifted her gaze to us.

"Give me the report file. I told you to bring it here. I need it right now," she asked, extending her hand. I gave her the file. After flipping through some pages, she handed the file to Ayushi.

"Can you tell me what's wrong with the patient?"

Ayushi blinked, looking at mom. She took the file and answered with great confidence.

"Great, you need to know more than just what this file has. You need to know about them, so stop convincing him to let you observe from the glass wall only," Mom said and left with Sir.

I turned to Ayushi, who pouted and then hugged me.

"I don't want to watch this. It's so painful. Why do they want a baby when it hurts like this?"

I placed my hands on her back as I answered her.

"You'll understand when you become a mom."

Her face turned red at the thought. She buried her face in my chest and stayed like that for a few minutes.

"Can I stay in your room tonight? I'll tell mom and dad." She asked cutely.

"Okay then. Let's go now. Check the lady's vitals and write them down on her chart. Don't give me a reason to scold you," I said, lightly tapping her hips.

She nodded and left the room immediately.

Please, God, don't let her make a mistake. She just needs to follow orders and stand close, nothing else.

After my rounds, I went to join Ayushi. She looked scared, while Vishal seemed calm as he observed the nurse and the lady.

"What's the status?"

"Sir, everything's normal. She could go into labor at any moment," Vishal said. I nodded and then looked at Ayushi to see if she had anything to say, but she was staring at Vishal with wide eyes.

"She's not in labor yet? Then why is she crying?"

"Don't act like you've never seen this before... But the glass is soundproof, so I'll tell you since I've been in the labor room before. Wait, you'll see for yourself."

Ignoring them, I turned my attention back to the nurse.

"Did you give her the suppository?"

"Yes, sir, this morning. I've also attached the IV. Her labor pains will start..."

Before the nurse could finish her sentence, the lady started screaming in pain.

My eyes went to Ayushi. It seemed like she was the one in pain now.

We got to work, and within twenty minutes, she gave birth to a beautiful baby girl.

I transferred the baby to the mother's chest. As I was about to pull my hand away, the lady shook her head immediately.

"No, don't... She might slip away... She is beautiful," she said with tears streaming down her eyes.

"Can you tell me what her gender is?" I ask just to confirm if the lady is conscious about her surrounding.

"Girl." She answer

"Nurse, clean up the baby. Ayushi and Vishal, put the stitches but clean her before doing that," I instructed before stepping away from the lady.

Ayushi glanced at Vishal, who shook his head and sat down, but I interrupted them.

"Vishal has done this before too. Ayushi can do it too. It isn't a big task."

"Ayushi, do it," I urged. Ayushi hesitated, looking at me and then at the lady who was quietly lying there.

"Ayushi, don't just stand there," I said. She nodded and took her seat, her hand visibly shaking.

"After giving birth, there are many waste materials inside the new mom's belly. So, first, remove them as you were taught. We can't leave the waste inside her belly, she will get an infection if it stays inside her, so do your work now," I instructed. Ayushi took a deep breath and started her work, to my relief.

After finishing, she moved away, but a look from me made her take her place again.

"Now, put the stitches."

"Aren't you giving her any numbing shot or cream?"

"No."

"Vishal, do it," I said, as Ayushi couldn't do it with her shaky hand.

"I'm sorry."

"Meet me in my cabin," I said. She nodded and left the room. I was thankful she did because the lady started hissing again. But I was actually impressed with Vishal. His hand didn't shake, nor did he show any emotion while doing it. After he was done, he smiled at the lady and told her lovingly, "You have a beautiful daughter. All the pain paid off. You will get to hold your baby within a few minutes. Congratulations." He then left the room too.

"Nurses will shift you to the common room. If you have any discomfort, tell the nurses," I said before leaving the room as the nurses started cleaning her up.

Third person's p.o.v

Rihaan inquired sharply, "What was that?" Ayushi, feeling remorseful, bit her lips and lowered her head.

"Sorry," she replied. Rihaan moved closer to her and enveloped her in a hug.

"Your hands must stop trembling. Don't act like a crybaby," he murmured, and she held onto him tightly.

"It's so painful. I don't want to get pregnant."

"You're not married. We haven't done anything yet. How could you get pregnant? Ayushi, this is the most painful yet joyful feeling in the world."

"I thought you would reprimand me."

"I will if your hands shake again," he stated firmly. Ayushi gazed up at him, meeting his eyes. As he continued to stare at her, she lightly slap his cheek and embraced him once more.
