Inside the delivery room, Jennie felt exhausted. She didn't know how long it had been since she went into labour. It felt like forever. Someone started wiping the sweat on her face and neck. She glared at her husband.
"Lisa, your sons are too much!!!"
"En, I'll scold them when they come out," Lisa replied in a serious tone.
His current appearance wasn't any better than hers. He was dishevelled and fatigued—a far cry from his usual cold and sharp handsomeness.
Jennie didn't like his answer. How dare the man want to scold her precious babies?!
"You—ah!!!"
Sharp pain shot through her once again.
The pain scattered all of her thoughts away. She had no choice but to endure the intense pain. The duration between the contractions was becoming shorter. She had less reprieve from the torment.
"It's time," the doctor announced.
The rest of the medical staff hired especially for the childbirth immediately went into action. They positioned Jennie on the bed and surrounded the lower half of her body.
"Young Madam, remember what we practiced," the doctor reminded her. "Breathe and then push, okay?"
"Y-yes..."
The look in Jennie's eyes changed. She looked ready for battle. Despite her current sorry state, the determination to birth her babies safely filled her.
"I'm here, love," she heard Lisa whispering directly to her ear. "Hold on to me. I won't let you go. Never."
She squeezed his hand. This was the best she could do to let him know that she heard his words. The pain was now coming in strong, powerful waves.
"Aaaaaaaah!!!"
Tears flowed down her eyes as she struggled to breathe, scream and push the first baby out of her body.
The pain was unimaginable.
She thought that she had already prepared herself beforehand but it was unlike anything she had ever experienced before.
Even being shot multiple times in her past life couldn't compare to the intense, prolonged pain that she was feeling right now. It felt like she was being ripped apart from the inside.
"L-love! Don't close your eyes! Can you hear me?! Stay awake!"
Jennie was awakened from a momentary loss of consciousness. Lisa's loud shouts and frantic taps on her cheek brought her back.
She immediately returned to pushing and didn't even realize that she passed out for a few seconds.
"Lisa, you bastard!!!"
"Yes, yes. It's all my fault. Please, just bear with it for now."
"I'll castrate you after this!!!"
"Ye—let's discuss that at a later date."
"Fuck you, Lisa Manoban!!!!!"
"I'm sorry, baby. Hold on for just a bit more."
"AAAARGHHHHH!!!!!"
Jennie felt like all of the veins inside her were going to pop from the great strain of pushing.
"Yes, the first baby is out!" the doctor announced with excitement.
Moments later, a loud baby's cry filled the entire delivery room.
Jennie completely forgot about the pain as she stretched out her arms for her baby. A nurse laid down the still gunky infant on her chest. Another nurse proceeded in wiping the still crying infant with a warm towel while Jennie cuddled her baby.
At the same time, Lisa was guided on how to cut the infant's umbilical cord.
Jennie was smiling through her tears. She couldn't stop staring at her baby's face.
"So ugly," she commented while chuckling.
"En," Lisa agreed without any hesitation. His eyes, however, were filled with pure gentleness.
He kissed Jennie's lips.
She smiled at him.
Then both stared at their "ugly" baby with happy expressions.
The medical staff looked at each other after hearing the exchange between the husband and wife. All of them had prior experience in assisting childbirths.
They swore that this baby is the best-looking out of all the babies they had assisted in birthing. Sure, it is red and wrinkly but all babies were born like that. The appearances of babies would quickly improve in just a few days.
With a mother like Jennie Kim and a father like Lisa Manoban, it was only natural that these two gorgeous people would produce beautiful babies. And yet listen to the two of them calling their own baby ugly so straightforwardly.
Poor baby.
Jennie wanted to continue cuddling her son but another wave of powerful contractions assaulted her. A nurse took away the baby as Jennie once again had to focus on giving birth to the next baby.
This time, the process was much smoother. It was still painful but Jennie didn't suffer as much.
The second baby only cried for a short time unlike his elder brother. He quickly calmed down upon being placed on his mother's chest while a nurse cleaned him up. Then Lisa cut his second son's umbilical cord as well.
"Another ugly one," Jennie said.
"En, looks like a drowned rat," Lisa replied.
She giggled while he smiled.
The doctor made a face while the rest of the medical staff turned their heads away. It was hard listening to the couple's comments about their own babies.
What did CEO Manoban mean that his second son looked like a drowned rat? The second son resembled him the most!
It seemed that this husband and wife had some vision problems.
They were so unlike other new mothers and fathers that the medical staff had assisted before who couldn't stop praising their newborns' cuteness.
The entire medical staff wanted so badly to refute Jennie and Lisa's claims that their newborn twins were ugly. In the end, however, they decided to just keep their mouths shut.
CEO Manoban was too intimidating while Jennie could be quite scary whenever she lost her temper.
They would just do their jobs. If the couple believed that their own babies were ugly, then who were they to correct the two blind people?
Jennie and Lisa bonded with their twin infants afterwards. Despite calling their own babies ugly, the happiness emanating from the new parents was almost tangible.
Lisa carried his eldest human son while Jennie cradled their second human son. He carefully leaned down and once again kissed his wife's lips.
"You're so amazing, Maria," he whispered.
His voice was so low and soft that only Jennie heard him.
"Thank you for giving me children. And I love you. So much."
"I love you, too," Jennie murmured as she drifted off to a much-needed sleep.
