Can it be true love...? [WangXian] ✔

Chapter 26: Hard times for the couple

|| The title is waaay too long but well, didn't know how to descripe that better haha||

When Wei WuXian's pregnancy really got going, it was a hard time not only for him but also for Lan Zhan. He could never guess whether his lover just needed to be cuddled and would either blame him right away, that he needs a lot more love, or if he lies down with him, he tells him how much his back hurts and that he shouldn't hug him.
Yes Wei Ying was became really moody in things like that but he still was really cheerfull. He still laughed often and was happy to soon give a life to Lan Zhan's child and Lan Yuan's sibling.
So everything summarized: Wei Ying is going to be a proud mama after all this stress and pain he's going trough right know.
It was all still pretty cute when the gray-eyed woke Lan Zhan at night because he was hungry or embarrassing but funny when he couldn't control his urine.
However, when Wei Ying was in the seventh month, the pregnancy took away much of his strength. He was just lying around and had trouble breathing.
The whole thing of course gave Lan WangJi flashbacks from 13 years ago when his Wei Ying died painfully in his arms. He was so worried
"Don't worry. He will not die. Of course, young Master Wei is very weak at the moment, but his body is only gathering enough strength for giving birth", a doctor explained to Lan WangJi the current situation and that he should just keep calm.
"Will he give birth soon?", Lan Zhan asked.
"Might be but it would be a little too early", the doctor smiled. "Normaly he would still have two month until he will give birth but it's not always like this", he explained again.
Lan WangJi bowed "thank you very much".
"There is nothing you have to thank me for. That's my job! Have a nice day!", he smiled and left.
When the doctor was gone, Lan Zhan went back to Wei Ying, sat down on the bed and stroked his hand. "Nothing will happen to you. Now your body only has to gather enough strength for the birth. It's all good," he pulled the younger boy to his body and continued to stroke him.
Wei Ying smiled and closed his eyes for a moment.
"Lan Zhan?" He spoke calmly and quietly.
"Yes Wei Ying?"
"Feel it," Wei Ying giggled calmly and took his husband's hand to bring it to his baby bump.
Lan Zhan stroked it and winced when he could feel small movements.
He put Wei WuXian back on his back and carefully put his ear to his stomach. He did this every night to hear how the child slowly developed.
"They will be strong child", the gray-eyed stroked his belly smiling. The couple prayed everyday for a healthy baby.

8th. month.

Even if you don't notice it, Lan WangJi was super excited. Now it shouldn't be long before his lover will give birth to a child for the first time.
"WangJi," Lan Xichen wanted to discuss something important with his younger brother. He already knew he wouldn't like it.
With a head movement he showed him that he had to speak to him.
The brothers disappeared behind the building to talk alone.
"Well WangJi. There are a lot of spirits in Mo Village at the moment and they want the deciples of Hanguang-jun and Hanguang-jun himself to drive the ghosts away," Xichen sighed, he knew the timing is bad.
"No, I don't want that, Wei Ying is weak. Send someone else to help them"
"I have already tried to persuade them, but there is nothing to do. They just want you and your deciples. We will take good care of Wei Ying and it is still a month before he will give birth to the child. Don't worry," Xichen smiled.
Lan Zhan closed his eyes and then nodded.
"Thank you WangJi and really don't worry. Wei Ying is in good hands".
The younger one nodded again and went to his husband.
"Is something wrong?", Wei Ying asked.
"The Mo Village, there are a lot of spirits and they only want me and my deciples to fight them. My brother already tried to persuade them to let someone else do this but it didn't work. XiChen will take care of you".
"But Lan Zhan! What if I'm going to give birth when you're not around? I want you to hold them when they are born"
"I know but I already explained it to you. Also you still have a month Wei Ying. I'll be back in maybe three days. Please don't do anything you will regret", he kissed Wei Ying's forhead.
"I'll not but please come back soon I need you here".

The next morning they left for Mo village. Wei WuXian already hated it. He didn't get up comfortably with Lan Zhan, they didn't eat anything together and they didn't cuddle in bed in the morning.
"Hanguang-jun do you really think it's such a good idea to leave Senior Wei heavily pregnant on his own?", SizHui was concerned about his foster mom.
"Everything has been agreed with XiChen, don't worry".
The cultivators were received with tea.
Everyone looked at them as if they were angels descending from heaven. "Can you tell us more about the incidents?" Lan WangJi asked Madam Mo.
"Mhn! You can't really report a lot, just that people were attacked by spirits".
"Good. I want to ask you not to go outside that night. Lock windows and doors."
"Thank you Hanguang-jun".
WangJi nodded and he and his deciples have been led to their guest rooms.
They hanged up spellbills on the doors and raised a kind of flag to attract the spirits.
Lan Zhan was proud of his deciples when he saw how well they could use their weapons and how strong they had become. The Lan knew how to slowly and gently teach them how to cultivate.
They did it every night for three days, then the village was safe again. The residents were grateful and the cultivators were happy to return to Gusu.
When they were finally back in Gusu, everyone was very excited and immediately wanted WangJi to go home. They literally pushed him home.
H

e opened the door and came in. His eyes widened.
Wei Ying had a small newborn in his arms, which was sleeping quietly.

"W-Wei Ying ...?", The addressee jumped up and looked at the door. "Ah Lan Zhan," Wei WuXian giggled and ran over to him. He smiled and seemed very happy.
"Look", he continued to smile and showed his husband the little baby "This is your son".
He gently touched the baby boy's cheek and took him from his lover. He was so small and fragile.

"He came very early but look he's so cute", Wei Ying giggled.
"W-Wei Ying I'm... I'm so sorry", WangJi breathed.
"For what?"
"For not being there for you while giving birth to this human being"
"It's okay Lan Zhan", the younger one smiled.
Lan Yuan also came in. His eyes sparkled when he saw the little baby. "May ... may I hold him too?", He asked a little shyly, but immediately the little human was given to him.
"What are you going to call him?"
"We thought of something like Lan Bingwen," WangJi replied.
"That's a nice name," SizHui giggled.

"Welcome to the world Lan Bingwen"
