Jade Dragon [Lan Xichen x Reader]

Chapter: 52

Lan Xichen was a nervous wreck. He hadn't been allowed to enter the healer's quarters and the screams and the calls for his name from inside made his heart torn.

He was pacing in front of the door, a horrified expression on his face. Lan Wangji seemed worried too but showed it a little. Lan Qiren sighed looking at his older nephew "Calm down Lan Huan. Everything will be fine.." The elder assured, not showing he was worried as well.

He had been there when previous Madame Lan gave birth to Lan Huan and Lan Zhan. She hadn't been like what Wei (Y/n) was now.

His uncle's words eased him very little, and he clenched his hands, wanting to rush inside.

Lan Qiren turned to Lan Wangji "You should write a letter to Madame Jiang. Its right for them to be here." Lan Wangji nodded, making way to do what his uncle asked.

He was going to write a letter to one other person though. He knew his uncle wouldn't mind him coming here. It was his sister they were talking about.

Lan Qiren rested a hand on Lan Xichen's shoulder. "Your wife is strong Lan Huan. You shouldn't think negatively."

Lan Xichen nodded. A-(Y/n) is strong... She can do it... He tried to assure himself.

"Madame Lan you need to breathe!" The healer instructed and the female did as told, sweat on her forehead. Lan Meizhen was next to her holding her hand.

"Where's....Xichen!?" She panted looking at the female by her side. "He's outside dear. You need to concentrate." The elder healer said and the female looked at her.

"I.. Ahhh!" She screamed at another wave of contractions, her eyes shut close.

"Alright.. Now when I count to three you need to push." The healer told her and she nodded groaning.

"One.. Two... Three.. Now! Push!" The healer ordered and she did just that screaming out at the pain. "Ahh!"

"Good! Madame Lan keep pushing!" The healer said encouraging the female. Her breathing was ragged and she felt like every bone in her body was breaking at once.

She had pushed the third time when the elder healer gasped. "She's loosing too much blood..." She said to one of the midwives. She told her hurriedly to bring some herbs and crush them before telling her to mix them in water and giving to Wei (Y/n).

Wei (Y/n) felt like there was no strength left in her body, her breathing was uneven and her hair stuck to her face because of the sweat. Her one hand was holding Lan Meizhen's while the other was clutching on to the sheets.

"Please Madame Lan you can't give up... Your baby's life will be in danger."

At her words Wei (Y/n) pushed her body to its limit screaming as she pushed again at the healers nod. It seemed like an eternity as the cycle repeated, the female couldn't hold the tears that slipped down her cheeks.

Finally, the screams of the female died out as she collapsed exhausted against the mattress and a baby's cry filled the healers quarters. The female sighed and a smile appeared on her face.

Lan Xichen heard the baby's cry and sighed with relief going to open the door but found it to be locked. He looked helplessly at his uncle and brother. Lan Qiren chuckled "Congratulations Lan Huan. Wait for a few moments." He told the male.

Lan Wangji had a small smile on his lips. "Congratulations to Brother." Lan Xichen nodded to their words and stood impatiently in front of the door.

The healers cleaned up the baby and Wei (Y/n) as well, making sure she could be presentable to the males. The elder healer helped her change into some simple white robes and brushed her hair back. She smiled and squeezed her hand after she had helped her sit up leaning against pillows and covered her with a blanket.
