He's My Protector 2

Chapter 8

(a/n get comfy this is a long chapter)

We wait patiently as the we watch through the glass at the doctors working hard on Chen. I can't help but pray everything goes ok. I try so hard to hold my tears back and be strong for Minseok. There he is watching the love of his life struggle and he can't do anything about it, all he can do is leave it in the hands of the doctors.

"Why is my baby's cord wrapped around its neck, is it dangerous? Is it stopping my baby from breathing? " Minseok turns to the doctor called Sarah that was told to sit with us and answer any of our questions.

"No its not dangerous"  she says making us both look at her with wide eyes.

"What you mean it's not dangerous, isn't that why you are opening my husband up" Minseok starts to get angry at the nurse as I reach out and pull him away from her.

"Please can you explain to us nurse" I stand beside minseok holding my arm around his back as he turns to watch Chen through the glass.

"Your baby Mr Kim has what we call Nuchal cord, this is the cord around babies neck. This happens alot in babies 1 out of 3 in fact are born like this. You see the cord is what helps baby breath and get nutrients from mum, it might be around babies neck but it won't be tight because of what it's made from. Baby doesn't take a breath until its actually born, that's why we make baby cry when they are born, it's them taking their first breath that we see once they are out " she turns to look at the doctors in the room opening Chen up

"So what's the real reason Chen is like this?" I push the nurse for more information as Minseok starts to cry with both his hands on the glass.

"Chen has very high blood pressure which can cause the flow of oxygen through the cord to baby to decrease, this is why they are doing a  C-section, it has nothing to do with the cord around babies neck"  she says as we all just watch and try take it all in as our small room falls silent.

The doctor does everything so quick, that now we can see baby being taken out and handed to a waiting nurse as she wraps baby in a towel. We watch as she carries the baby to a station's just next to Chen and the next thing we hear is the cries of a baby.

I can't hold my tears anymore as they flow down my cheeks making me turn to Minseok who is sobbing with his hands up to his face still looking through the glass. I reach for him and lay my arm around his shoulder as we both cry together.

"My baby is born, is it ok?" he holds onto the glass eager to hold his baby, as the nurse places the baby close to Chen laying its body on chens chest.

"Why do they do that?" I ask as the nurse smiles smiles at me

"It's to help babies body temperature, breathing, and heart rate stabilize" she gets a wave from the nurse inside the room and  turns to us. "You can go in now Mr Kim" she opens the door as minseok turns to look at me looking worried. "Go see your hubby and baby go" I give him a little push as he hugs me first then hurries off.

I watch through the glass as he enters the operation room and is guided over to Chen and baby as he kisses chens cheek before kissing baby. My tears start flowing like crazy at the sight before me, but being happy baby is born I forget to ask about Chen

"How is Chen doing?" I ask the nurse as she re enters the small room. "He is perfect, he should be waking soon, blood pressure is stable now, mum and baby are going to be fine" I turn to see minseok wave at me through the glass with a massive smile on his face as I can see Chens eyes begin to open.

"Is it a boy or girl?" I ask her excited as she smiles "He wants to tell you himself" we both watch as Minseok stands up and screams "its a girl " I burst out laughing along with everyone else as I seeChen all smiling getting smothered with kisses from his husband.
