My precious "MATE"

Chapter 38

"Are you okay now? Promise you'll behave and follow doctors orders?" I looked at him sternly.

"Yes yes alright." I handed a tissue to him and he blew his nose.

"Good. We're settled then. I'm calling our parents to let them know."

I smiled and gave him one more kiss on the forehead before taking a seat in a chair beside the bed. I dialed Yunlan's parents first.

"Mom, it's Shen wei."

"Wei son, how are you? How is Yunlan?" She asked cheerfully.

"Well, we are okay now, I have very exciting news to share Mom. Yunlan is at the hospital in labor."

I heard a gleeful cheer over the line from Mom and Dad. "Wonderful! How is he doing!?!"

"We are okay now, he had been a bit nervous but we've settled them and I'm confident he's going to be just fine now. The doctor came in a little bit ago, he said that Yunlan is four centimeters dilated now, but his water hasn't broke yet so things are still slow. His contractions started at ten this morning but he didn't bother telling me, I didn't end up finding out until two. he was scared and didn't tell me."

I spoke to Mom but looked to Yunlan with a raised eyebrow. "Tell him his father and I are on our way right now."

"Did you want to talk to him yourself? I'm sure he could use a talk with his mum." I smiled.

"If he's up to it I'd love to."

"Alright, hold on just a moment." I handed the phone over to Yunlan.

"Mom?"

Yunlan's voice was shaky, I took his hand once more, rubbing the back of it in small circles. I couldn't hear what Mom was saying but listened to Yunlan.

"It hurts so bad mom."

"I don't know yet, we just got here an hour or so ago. I'm being taken care of, Wei, like promised, has not left my side except once to talk with the doctor about my panic attack. Yeah I had one, I'm just so scared of being in the hospital Mom, I don't want to be here. Yes mom, I know. I love you mom. Tell dad I love him too please." Yunlan sniffled.

"I'll see you two later." he handed the phone to me again.

"Hello?" I held it to my ear again.

"Wei dear, is he going to be alright? Be prepared for lots of screams and curses." Mom chuckled.

"I will, don't worry. We'll see you guys this evening. Bye." We hung up and I dialed my parents.

"Mother, it's time!" I cheered.

"Oh my boy! Your father and I will be right up! I'll call Yezun."

My mother hung up before I could say anything else, I laughed and shook my head as I hung the phone up.

"Well, they're excited." I laughed as I looked back to Yunlan.

"Your parents on their way?" Yunlan asked.

"Yup, She's calling Yezun too. Is there anyone you'd like me to call or text?" I asked.

"Maybe if you could text our friends, I'm sure Da Qing, Zhu, Ling Jing, Guo and Chu would love to know." Yunlan suggested.

"I'll send a text to them." I pulled out my phone and sent a group text to our friends.

MESSAGE : Yunlan and I are at the hospital! 4cm, water hasn't broke yet. Little nervous/scared but we're getting through it. Come if you'd like.

The text read. "Done."

I smiled and put my phone away, but not before taking a picture of Yunlan. "Delete that or you're dead."
