Chapter 842
In the third trimester of Sienna’s pregnancy, Daniel took care of everything for her, from washing her hair to helping her bathe. She didn’t need to lift a finger.
She had always loved Daniel deeply, but now she felt that he was her entire world. She couldn’t imagine living without him.
Their baby was a little angel too. Despite the heaviness of her belly, Sienna felt no discomfort and was incredibly at ease in her late pregnancy. Even the due date was perfectly on time.
Daniel had packed the hospital bag, and as he turned around, he saw Sienna coming out of the bathroom. She said, “Honey, I think my water just broke.”
“What does that mean?” Daniel asked curiously.
Sienna, looking slightly nervous, replied, “It means our baby might be born today.”
Excitement flooded Daniel. He quickly grabbed a coat and helped Sienna put it on. “Are you in pain?” he asked.
“No,” Sienna replied.
“Our little one must not want to trouble Mommy too much,” Daniel said. Sienna nodded with a smile.
He picked up the prepared suitcase and took Sienna’s hand. “Darling, let’s go to the hospital.”
Supporting her belly, Sienna walked alongside him, feeling happy. “Honey, I’m so excited. Do you think it will be a boy or a girl?”
“Fifty-fifty,” Daniel said, elated. “We’ll know by tomorrow at the latest.”
“Should we tell Mom and Dad?”
“Let’s wait until we get to the hospital and the doctors have an estimate. Then we’ll inform them.”
“Okay.”
Daniel helped her into the car and carefully buckled her seatbelt.
At the maternity hospital, Sienna was admitted to a VIP ward.
Daniel unpacked everything and brought in lots of delicious food. They watched comedy films and enjoyed snacks together, laughing and talking as they waited for the baby to arrive.
Sienna would occasionally grimace as her contractions tightened, but she would laugh at the funny scenes in the movie.
When the contractions became more intense, Daniel massaged her belly, showing deep concern for her comfort and doing breathing exercises with her to ease the pain.
Sienna, not wanting to worry him, tried to stay strong. She bit her lip to keep herself from crying out.
As the timing of the contractions
grew closer together and the pain got more unbearable for Sienna, the doctor checked her progress and decided it was time for an epidural. Daniel readily agreed.
After the epidural, Sienna relaxed in Daniel’s arms, eating snacks and watching the movie. Florence and Gary arrived at the hospital, thrilled. They were relieved to see that
Sienna was not in much pain.
In the VIP ward, the four of them watched comedies and enjoyed the food. When the nurse came in, she found the room full of laughter.
“Are you in pain?” the nurse asked.
Sienna smiled lightly. “A bit, but it’s bearable.”
“We just checked, and you’re almost fully dilated. It’s time to go to the delivery room,” the nurse said.
Daniel stood up first, tense. “Doctor, I want to be there with her.”
“It’s best if fathers don’t go in,” the nurse suggested.
Sienna quickly added, “Honey, you can’t go in.”
“I have to be there. I won’t feel at ease otherwise,” Daniel insisted.
Sienna didn’t want Daniel to see her in such a painful and bloody state. “No, if you insist on coming in, I won’t give birth,” she pouted, pretending to be upset.
Daniel immediately backed down, gently soothing her. “Alright, don’t be upset. I won’t go in. But promise me you’ll come out safely.”
“Okay,” Sienna said, her smile returning.
With her family and the doctor accompanying her, Sienna was wheeled into the delivery room.
