“Yeah, I think it’s time. She wants to come out now,” Lana whispered as she tried to calm herself by breathing in and out to relax. Liam immediately called for an ambulance, then Jorge and his father next, who instantly rushed into their bedroom, followed by Miley and Chelsy.

“The ambulance will be here in five minutes. Try to relax, darling,” Liam whispered. Lana held his hand tightly as she felt a sudden wave of contractions in her belly.

“She’s in labor,” Miley whispered as she gently held her own tummy. Like Lana, the doctor had asked Miley if she wanted to do a cesarean where she would not experience the pain of labor and delivery. However, she had chosen to do it naturally, just like Lana. They were both first-time mothers and were very keen to experience a normal delivery.

The ambulance soon arrived and Liam, together with mom Chelsy, climbed into the ambulance, while the others followed them directly to the hospital.

“It hurts,” Lana cried in pain that she grabbed Liam by his head, pulling his hair whenever she felt the painful contractions. Now Lana could understand why Keira had cursed her husband inside the delivery room numerous times.

It was so painful that she felt as if her stomach would explode soon. She was not cursing Liam but pulling him by his hair since he had bent down to hold and kiss one of her hands. There were some tolerable contractions but some were really painful where she would grip Liam tightly, by whatever parts of his body were near her.

“Love, I really don’t mind you pulling my hair, but I will soon go bald at this rate. Just hang in there. You and Lanabelle will be fine soon.” Liam encouraged, hoping his wife would not feel too much pain, despite the pain he himself was feeling with Lana’s hand pulling on his hair. He thought that her labor must be really painful.

Upon arrival at the hospital, their doctor allowed him access inside the delivery room where he was asked to wear scrub suits.

He was whispering words of love to Lana as he held her hand tightly while the doctor would tell her when to push.

“Push!” the doctor said whenever there were contractions. Lana was sweating hard as she tried her best to expel her baby.

“Ahh!” Lana yelled. It was worse than being constipated since she had to expel a baby.

“Good job Lana… One more hard push. We almost have her head here, so we must not let her wait long… Come on, push.” The doctor encouraged her.

“Ahh!” Lana cried as she tried as hard as she could.

“You’re doing good, love. Almost there,” Liam cheered, not paying heed to the pain caused by Lana’s hard grip on his arms and hands.

After a few minutes of crying and yelling from Lana, they heard a loud cry from their baby.

“She’s out, love! Oh my God, our baby cries so loud, just like you!” Liam burst out with joy, watching his newborn baby held in the doctor’s arms.

“Oh my God, she’s so beautiful, love. She looks like you,” Liam burst, teary-eyed, watching the doctor cut and separate the umbilical cord from their baby.

Lana was crying too as she watched her baby being attended to by the nurses. She felt so exhausted but as soon as the doctor put her baby into her embrace she felt ecstatic and fully charged. The doctor helped her offer one of her breasts to breastfeed her baby girl.

“It’s very important that the baby gets the nutrition from you Mrs. Sy and you two have that skin-to-skin bonding, feeling the mother’s warmth as soon as she can,” the doctor explained and Lana nodded, hugging her baby gently and admiring her cuteness.

“Lanabelle. My Lanabelle. Welcome to the world,” she whispered in a raspy voice as she lovingly stared at her little baby with tears rolling down her eyes, tears of joy and bliss.

“Good work love…” Liam whispered as he kissed Lana’s forehead and stared adoringly at their firstborn baby.

“I have changed my mind. Let’s wait 3 to 4 years more before we give Lanabelle a sibling,” Lana whispered with a playful smile. She was just teasing her husband, wondering how he would react and what he would say.

“But love…” Liam started to protest, but then realized how hard it had been for his wife, carrying their baby for nine months, and even in delivering Lanabelle.

“Alright, love, take your time. We have a lifetime together to make more babies.” Liam murmured.

Outside, Ram was feeling nervous. He was waiting outside with Jorge, Miley, and his wife Chelsy.

“What’s taking them so long? Geez, I hope everything is alright.” he whispered and then looked at Jorge, “Talk to the nurse and ask about Lana’s situation.”

“Relax Father. Goodness, I can’t imagine how worried you will be when it’s my turn inside the delivery room. I’m sure everything is fine.” Miley teased.

And just when Jorge was about to ask the nurse, Liam finally came out of the delivery room and hugged him tightly.

“I am a father now! My daughter is sooo prettyyyy and cute!” Liam burst with excitement and then looked at his dad and hugged him next.

“Father… You are officially a grandfather now. Oh gosh. I think I just lost all my hair after Lana pulled it real hard in pain!” Liam mumbled.

Ram laughed and said, “That’s good son. I’m so proud of you and Lana. Another member added to our family. Let us see Lanabelle.”

“Oh, right. They will soon transfer her together with Lana to their room. Let’s all wait there.” Liam said with a wide smile.

“How is sis? Was it really painful?” Miley asked with curiosity while touching her own baby bump.

Liam laughed and looked at Jorge instead as he said, “Make sure Miley does not have long nails at the time of her delivery and you too should prepare your body for getting bruises.”

“Huh?! Isn’t that a little exaggerated?” Jorge mumbled in disbelief and Liam only shrugged his shoulders as he walked towards Lana’s room.

Miley pouted her lips and whispered, “I think delivering the baby normally is way too hard. Maybe I’ll just ask my doctor to do a cesarean?”

“Ah, maybe that would be better.” Jorge unknowingly replied.
