Royal couple (Unedited)

Twenty five 🥰🥰

I couldn't believe i was going to be a dad but finally, it's coming true. Just few days before I'd be one. I stumbled out of bed, had my bath and came out. I met yumna standing in front of the
mirror.
"Yareema, i am worried. These stretch marks are becoming bigger and turning purple" she said raising her shirt for me to see.
I shrugged my shoulders at the site. It was really disgusting for me.
" i know, they look horrible, you don't have to show it" she added.
I looked at her, my eyes full of pity.
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to" i quickly said.
"It's okay"
She wore her after dress then we went and took breakfast. We sat in the living room until hajiya showed up. We greeted her and she left to meet her people.
Yumna quickly stood up. She was alerted.
"What is it?" I asked, coming to her.
"My water just broke " she replied heading for the room.
" Tell hajiya, quick" she instructed and made for the room.
I left almost immediately and went to hajiya without any hesitation. We headed to the room and yuman was squinting in pains.
I rushed to her side and held her shoulders.
"She is in labour " hajiya said
"Quick, lets take her to the hospital" i said and carried her in my arms, not minding how heavy she had become.
I zoomed off to the hospital with her, while hajiya stayed behind to brig all the things she may need.
I had problems concentrating on the road with yumna in pains. She eas murmuring a silent prayer which i encouraged her to do.
We reached the hospital and she was taken to the labour room while i stayed behind. I paced up and down the room until i wss ginally allowed to enter.
The royal parcel arrived, some maids and servants came with all that yumna may need.
The doctor came and took us to where yumna was. Yumna was inclined on the bed but she was unconscious.
"She just experienced the forst stage of labour,  so o gave her some sleeping pills to let her rest and gather up some strength " the dr said and took her leave. I guess she had other patients to attend to.
I stood by the bed and held her hands, looking at her as if she could look at me back.
My heart was bleeding ( 🤭) , and beating faster than usual.
"It will be alright " i said, trying to console myself.
Time to pray cane so i left the room, leaving her in the care of the maids and some nurses.
I came back almost immediately after prayer. I met yumna’s mum, ammi beside her, and my mum, hajiya on the sofa. I greeted them and tumna turned to look at me, she was in tears and i melted 😭.  I hated seeing her in tears. I moved closer to her and both mums left the room for us.
"Noor pls don't cry." I said holding her hand.
"I'm scared..i really am" she said. Slightly clutching my hand. I didn’t even know how to make her feel better that moment.  The doctor opened the door and came in.
"Any progress?" She asked the nurse she came in with
"No. The baby is not kicking anymore" replied the nurse.
"Lemme have a look" the doctor said and yumna looked at me.
"Do you mind if he stays?" The doctor said to yumna, referring to me.
"Yes" she replied and gave me the "don't you get what i mean" look.
I smiled and left the room. Ammi and hajiya were seated in the hallway.
"Yareema, " hajiya called out.
I went to her and sat, my head down in respect.
"I know you are nervous right now and i know you care about her much. But know that, every cloud has a silver lining. You have to be able to take care of your wife more than before. Remember,  you are about to be a dad, one of the rarest blessings in the world. You have to be able to act responsible when need arises" she said and stopped.
I just smiled,  because i know that no matter how difficult the baby is to handle, it won't be as difficult as dealing with pregnant yumna.
"Ahhhh!!!!!" We heard yumna shouting...
I  bursted into the room and saw her clutching her stomach tightly. The team of doctors, whom had joined the labour squad quickly fastened her hands and lwgs to the bed. The my plugged the monitors and attached strings of cables to her stomach.
I tried to move more closer to her but there was no way, all the doctors were round her, doing one thing or the other.
As soon as they were done with the attachments, the baby appeared on the screen, it was moving round her stomach. One of the doctors left hurriedly, i was confused.
"What's going on?" I asked one of the doctors.
" the cervical opening is still not large enough for the baby and at this stage, it should have." The doctor said.
I looked at her pitifully, her eyes were shut but she was crying. She had sweat all over her face and body. One of the doctors started wiping her face with a towel.
I moved closer and held her hands, i started reciting some azkars for her, she inhaled deeply and fainted. I sat there while the doctors kept going in and out of the room doing their stuff.
The baby inside her kept kicking but she was not responding.
"Your highness, i don't think it will be safe to allow her to continue this way, i am suggesting CS would be the best solution for her right now" our family doctor came and said. She had some papers in her hand.
"No, mu child will never be operated upon" ammi said, entering the room.
"You don't understand maam, if ee let her be, we would have to expand the pelvis, to reduse the contraction for her and it is too dangerous " the doctor futher explained 
"Still better than CS"   Ammi protested.
I nodded in agreement when ammi looked at me even though i know nothing about what they just discussed.
"Never allow them to operate on my daughter " ammi warned and went back to her seat.
Yumna regained consciousness after some hours,  she was totally stressed out.
"Ammi" she called out to her mum, almost in a whisper
"Naam" she replied and came to her.
"I know i can't do this, please forgive me for all i had done to you" she said and i was moved. I stood there frozen,  if only there was something i could do to stop the oain she was going through.
" Don't say that yumna, youbare strong. I know it and you know it. You know i know you know it. I know you know you can do it..okay" ammi kept repeating.
Another set of doctors entered,  different from the first.
"Greetings your highness, i am dr. Hajara umar my team and i would be taking over from where dr. Khadija stopped" the head doctor explained. I nodded my head in compliance.
Ammi left later after promising yumna that her aunt was coming yo tmstay the night with her.
The doctor came to me after some examinations which i don’t know whtmy they kept doing.
"Her case is very critical sir" she said in a whisper.
"What is happening?" I asked.
"It is very surprising that at this stage of  labour, she is still at 3.5cm,  normally it should have been 7cm"  she said and stopped,  i looked at her with a confused expression and waited for her to continue but she didn't?
"Explain " i sqid and she turned red. Then i was confused the more, why was she blushing?
"Sir....emm.. i ...would be right back" she said hurriedly left the room. I placed my hand on yumna’s belly.
"I am sorry" i said out of the blues.
"What for?" She asked
"For putting you in this condition " i replied and she kept quiet. I could see sadness and depression all over her face.
Adda ummi, yumna’s aunt came later in the night. I had to go and pray even though I didn't want to leave my wife in that condition alone.
I came back and sat beside her, her breathing was light and i leaned on the bed, adda ummi begged me to go but i refused, claiming it was already late. I remained in that position for as long as i could remember, i didn't know when sleep over took me.
