Kunlun Mountain Part 4 - The Return

Chapter 76 - The Birth

Mo Yuan was now wide awake and his heart was pounding in his chest by the time he reached their chamber.  And with the doors wide open, he did not wait at the door as he had been instructed to do so by Zhe Yan having already gone over the birthing rites with him.  Instead he stormed into the chamber and straight to the birthing bed, which had been prepared weeks before.

On her knees beside the bed with head in her hands,  Mo Yuans eyes never left her as he staunchly made his way to her side, ready to tackle her mother should she stand in his way.  

But the Empress barely acknowledged him as he fell to his knees beside her.  The maids had already been called for and Zhe Yan was currently in the elixir chamber creating the potions and lotions he wanted himself while Gaogui had already gathered the Disciples in the main Hall to await instructions should they too be needed.

"Qian Qian.  I'm here." he said softly as he gently rubbed her back.

Her breathing was steady and for the moment she was calm enough to smile at him.

"I want you to stay Mo Yuan." she said before sharply inhaling as a contraction hit.  Breathing through it as she had been taught to do, he continued to rub her back as the Empress moved about the chamber preparing the hot tub and warming towels.

It took mere under an hour before the girls arrived under Feng Jius command and once they were all in the chamber, the Empress stood over them both.

"Mo Yuan.  Help me get her onto the bed." she said also keeping her tone soft and soothing.

Quickly moving back up onto his feet, he then lowered to gently pick her up off the floor before lifting her onto the bed while allowing her to find the position she was more comfortable in, which was on her side.

It was then that he was forced back as the girls moved in to strip her down.  Her body was covered in sweat, but the moment her mother tried to lead him from the chamber, Bai Qians hand lashed out to take hold of him.

"NO!  I want him with me." she cried out.  Forcing the girls away, she struggled to rise off the bed which instantly had Mo Yuan brushing past her mother to lay her back down again.

"Qian Qian.  I'm not going anywhere." he said with a defiant look towards her mother and ignoring the huffing coming from the girls.

Squeezing  his hand tightly, the strength in her arms as she dragged his entire body down towards her was very powerful and it had him quickly readjusting his position while her mother just as quickly intervened.

"I'm sorry, but you know the rules Qian Qian, Mo Yuan.  The birthing chamber is no place for a man.  You must leave." she said knowing it would come to this.

"Mo Yuan stay." Bai Qian hissed at him as another contraction hit.  Clenching down on his hand the girls quickly placed hot towels against her back to ease the pain, while Mo Yuans other hand delved into her belly to sooth his children.

Waiting until the contraction passed, her mother tried again, refusing to give in.  

"This is no place for a man, and for a very good reason." she said, her tone laced in indignation which he merely ignored, in fact he turned his back to her before bending down to kiss Bai Qians head tenderly.

"You are going to see things, no man has ever seen, no man should ever see.  The babies are not the only things that are going to be expelled from her body Mo Yuan.   Her bowels will empty first, then her bladder and if your lucky, you'll even get to see her stomach contents that haven't yet been digested............."

"Would you shut up!" Mo Yuan snapped angrily at her.  "I have seen everything of my wife that there is to see.  She has nothing that I have not seen, so unless you are here to help, then get the hell out." he almost screamed before another contraction hit.
