LGHTNOVELBOOK chapter 296 - The Birth ll
#A/N - "Another chapter that was a bit difficult to write because I had to do some research first, but here it is, I hope it's not too bad"
--------
Who knows how much time has passed since the labor process began? Taufik doesn't know; right now, he is very tense, even to see the time he even forgot.
This was not his first experience when Aksara was born, Taufik was also there to accompany Gaia through all of Aksara's birth process, but this time for some reason, this time, Taufik felt quite tense, no, what Taufik was feeling right now, maybe more than tense, Taufik felt like every groan of pain that Jenn, Kaela, Rani, and Anugerah let out, Taufik felt like his life was being sucked out by something.
In fact, when compared to when Gaia gave birth, Gaia was not like this, perhaps Gaia, who is a Goddess, had little influence in this matter, so Gaia's labor process could be said to be very smooth and could be said to take quite a short time because it was less than twelve hours, which is the normal time for labor to last from twelve hours to fourteen hours.
Because after all, the children in the womb of the four women have the blood of a Progenitor Vampire, and Jenn, Rani, Kaela, and Anugerah, although they are not Human, they can still be considered as a 'Mortal' so their bodies may not be strong enough to bear the descendants of Taufik who can be said to be someone who is one step away from becoming a god.
For Tina, Anugerah, and Kaela, they are a Dragon, and Dragons are known to have extraordinary vitality, so the burden they feel from carrying Taufik's child may not be too heavy for them, but it's different in Jenn's case, although now she is a vampire, and is a Vampire who has a fairly high status because Taufik himself changed her from Human to Vampire, which actually makes Jenn have the opportunity to rise to become a Progenitor Vampire like Taufik but this must go through a long and difficult process, in the end, time is the answer again.
This is also why Taufik is more worried about Jenn than the others because, currently, Jenn's condition is the most worrying.
--------
He doesn't know how much time has passed since the birth process, but from that time that passed, all Taufik remembers are the groans of pain from his four wives, where the one who seemed to be in the most pain was Jenn.
*Tap! Tap! Tap!*
Taufik, who was sitting between the two large beds, sat down while closing his eyes, his hands clenched like someone who was praying, and one of his feet kept moving, tapping the sole of his foot on the floor following the rhythm of the ticking clock as if reminding himself that time continued to pass.
Every groan of pain that came out of the mouths of his four wives that Taufik heard, especially Jenn, Taufik felt as if his heart had stopped, it was a truly terrifying experience.
It can be seen that the doctor is helping Jenn's delivery process and is assisted by several nurses, and several other nurses, helping Rani, Kaela, and Anugerah, it seems that the doctor also knows that Jenn's condition is the worst.
'... Why is this taking so long? As far as I can remember, Gaia's birth wasn't like this'
Said Taufik Inwardly. Then added.
'... If God the Creator really exists, please hear my prayer; please grant safety to my wives and my children; I beg you, please!'
This was the first time Taufik had truly prayed, perhaps because the situation was already this bad, so Taufik didn't know what else to do other than pray to the Creator if He was indeed still watching over all of His creations.
"... I can see the baby's head... Princess, just a little bit more, push a little bit more, Follow my lead, Breathe in... push!"
Hearing the doctor say that, Taufik immediately stood up and then immediately approached Jenn's side.
It was clear how Jenn was gripping the mattress tightly.
Following the doctor's instructions, Jenn pushed following the rhythm of her breathing.
Rani, Kaela, and Anugerah, who were lying beside her, could only look weakly at Jenn. Their labor process was also assisted by the nurses, but they were still in the first stage or still in the opening stage, and there were no signs of the baby's head being visible.
Time passed, but every second that passed felt very long, Jenn kept pushing, three times every time the doctor gave a sign that a contraction was happening, and in between waiting for another contraction Jenn rested, there were times when Jenn fainted in the process but every time a contraction happened Jenn would wake up again, it was a very extraordinary and painful experience to witness for Taufik, but he could do nothing but hold Jenn's hand and entrust the rest to the doctor.
The normal time for pushing during labor is one or two hours, but more than two hours have passed, and Jenn's labor process still seems far from over.
This is a dangerous condition for both mother and baby, and the doctor seems to be aware of this situation, but he will still carry out the labor process as best he can and hope for the best, because unfortunately, even with the existence of magic, there is no magic that can specifically help in the labor process.
Jenn looked very tired, but determination could still be seen in her eyes, it seemed like Jenn herself wanted her baby to be born no matter what.
--------
Another hour passed, and the situation became a little tenser, because half an hour ago Rani had started to show signs that her baby would soon come out, and not long after Rani, it was Anugerah's turn and then followed by Kaela, while Taufik could only standing anxiously while looking at his four wives, but the situation calmed down a little when the doctor who seemed to have been invited by the Queen entered the room with complete preparations, it seemed that the Queen herself knew that the situation in here right now was not too good so maybe that was why she immediately called another doctor to help Jenn and the others' delivery process.
"... Princess, one more push... Just one more push"
Said the doctor who was accompanying Jenn's labor process, even though she heard this vaguely, Jenn understood what the doctor meant because of the sign with his hand that the doctor gave because she had seen this sign many times, seeing this, Jenn gathered all the strength she had and then did the last push after controlling her breathing.
A few minutes later, something extraordinary happened, this was not the first time Taufik had seen something like this, but seeing it happen would always be like a new experience for him.

After Jenn's last push, Taufik didn't know what happened anymore; he was very relieved; all the sounds around him seemed to have disappeared, and he saw the doctor and several nurses helping to cut Jenn's baby's umbilical cord.
Taufik did not know what happened but after cutting his child's umbilical cord, the doctor and nurse looked a little worried as they patted the soles of his newborn child's feet.
"... Do-"
"*Waah!* *Euwaahh!* "
But before Taufik could ask what happened, a baby's cry was immediately heard, this immediately made Taufik stop for a moment, he then looked at the doctors and nurses who seemed to finally look relieved, his eyes immediately fell on the baby in the arms of one of the nurses, the baby who was slightly larger than most newborns cried as his small body, and maybe because of his pale skin, after drying the baby's body, the nurse immediately covered the baby because they thought the baby was cold.
They did a few other things, like removing the placenta and injecting a vitamin K1 and a hepatitis B vaccine, Taufik recognized those two things from a book he had read, during the process that lasted for several minutes, the baby kept crying, but when the nurse handed the baby to Jenn who now looked very exhausted, the baby's cries immediately subsided.
An indescribable smile appeared on Jenn's face as she received the baby; Jenn looked at the baby's face carefully before the nurses helped Jenn to breastfeed the baby in her arms.
Seeing this, a relieved and happy smile appeared on Taufik's face, he then looked towards Rani, Anugerah, and Keala, their labor process was not as difficult as Jenn's, in fact, it could be said that their labor process went quite smoothly, it was just that their babies had not come out yet.
There is no happier feeling for Taufik than this.
Taufik then wanted to walk to approach Jenn and see their child, but before he could walk, something unwanted happened.
*Bip* *Bip* *Bip* *Bip* *Bip*
The patient monitor that had been installed from the start to monitor Jenn's condition suddenly started beeping slowly and getting slower.
This, makes Taufik's heart stop, as well as Rani, Anugerah, and Kaela's, because their vitality as dragons is very strong, even for Kaela who is only half dragon, so their condition is not as severe as Jenn's, so they can still monitor each other's condition, but when they hear the sound of the patient monitor that sounds like that, their eyes automatically turn towards Jenn.
"... W-Wait! N-No" (Taufik)
"... Jenn!/Sis Jenn?" (Rani, Anugerah, and Kaela)
"Doc-"
"I know! This is postpartum hemorrhage, Quickly give the Oxytocin injection and correct the Princess's lying position!"
The doctor's orders, the nurses then acted quickly, laying Jenn back down, then raising her legs to be in a higher position than her feet, and the doctor then performed uterine massage to reduce the bleeding that occurred, but no matter what they did Jenn's condition continued to worsen.
