Chapter 295 Medical Setup

Kael’s POV

By the evening, the private room was set for Eira with all the hospital machinery that was needed to check on her and to deliver a baby. Jason and Lucian hurried it with the help of Liam and professional hospital staff.

Liam had also invited a lady gynaecologist to check on Eira. We all headed to that room.

The moment we entered that vast room, the hospital setup welcomed us, where it had a patient bed and a few machines arranged around.

Raven, who was in my arms, clung to me with his hands tightly wrapped around my neck, his face buried against my shoulder. The fear of hospitals was still instilled in him even though we had taken him to the hospital before and assured him it was not a bad place. It would take time to get that fear out of his young mind.

I gently caressed his back. “It’s alright. It’s our home, and this place is for mommy to give birth to a new baby. It will protect her when she is in pain.”

He looked at me silently and nodded.

“This is a patient’s room,” Lucian informed and pointed to the other divided part of the room. “There is a set of some test machines like sonography. The side room attached to this one is converted into an operation theatre for when Eira will deliver the baby.”

“This is indeed the perfect setup,” Liam praised and looked at the lady gynaecologist. “What do you think, Zena?”

“Indeed it is,” a woman in her early thirties replied. She was a graceful and skilled-looking person. “A patient would be more comfortable here as it’s at home as well.”

I looked at Eira, who was still observing the room like she hadn’t seen it before.

“What are you thinking?” I asked.

“I didn’t know I would be needing all this to give birth to a baby,” she said. “I thought…” she stopped as if remembering something which didn’t feel pleasant to her.

“Giving birth isn’t a simple thing,” the doctor said. “Especially for a pureblood shewolf, it can be difficult at times. So we have to be well prepared for any emergency.”

Eira simply nodded, thoughts still running through her mind. I will talk to her later about it.

“How about we have your first sonography now?” the doctor asked her. “Everyone’s here.”

Eira looked at me. It was not like she was taking my permission, but she seemed a little anxious and lost on what to do. I was sure her first pregnancy didn’t go this way, and all of this was new to her.

I offered her a light nod.

The doctor led her to the sonography setup. She lay on that narrow bed. Liam and the four of us stood to the side, while Jason, who had prepared everything, was like an assistant to the doctor, who had taken her place in the chair next to the bed and in front of the machine.

“I need to lift your top,” Jason told Eira as he held the bottle of gel in his hand.

Eira nodded lightly, and Jason moved her clothes in a way that exposed her belly.

“You will find this gel a little cold,” he informed her and poured the gel on her belly.

“Seems like Doctor Jason is back to work,” Liam teased, but Jason ignored him.

Liam sighed. “I had been telling this guy to resume his practice, but he is entirely deaf to my words.”

Jason once more ignored him and stood by the bed on Eira’s side. His gaze moved to the screen attached to the machine.

The doctor used a small machine and started her work. In a moment, a blurry image showed up on the screen. The doctor started to explain.

“This is the baby.”

Just as she said it, I stared at the screen for a while and then at Eira’s belly. She had her eyes glued to the screen as well, surprised just like us.

The doctor noticed the look on my and my three brothers’ faces, except for Jason, who wasn’t surprised by it. Of course, he used to be a doctor, unlike the four of us who had no relation to it.

“The baby is barely the size of a grape now, so you won’t see much change in the size of Eira’s belly.” She understood what we all must be thinking. “But soon you will see fast changes in her and will feel that there is a baby growing inside her.”

The doctor looked at Eira, who had conflicted emotions on her face, her eyes moist. “That’s your baby.”

Eira hummed lightly, and the doctor said, “Let’s hear the heartbeats.”

The next moment, we all heard the sound of heartbeats, and once more all of us froze. No words, just silence and the sound of heartbeats echoing in the room.

I looked at Raven in my arms and said, “Do you see the baby?”

The little guy nodded, his gaze stuck to the screen just like ours, entirely amused.

“Heartbeats are perfectly fine and the baby is growing just fine,” the doctor said as she looked at Eira.

She had tears rolling down her eyes, but there was a light smile on her trembling lips. Those were happy tears.

I wanted to go to Eira, but Jason was there, and he held her hand to comfort her.

In reflex, she gripped his hand back and tried to control her emotions, her gaze on the screen. “They didn’t do it before…” she mumbled.

The doctor knew of Eira’s previous pregnancy from Liam. “But you can experience it all this time,” the doctor assured her. “And we will be having this checkup every month, so you will be able to see the different stages of the baby’s growth.”

Once it was done, the doctor instructed her and us on some important things. While Eira let go of Jason’s hand, he cleaned the gel from her belly. He helped her sit on the bed.

“Jason is here, so he can take care of a few things,” Liam told the doctor.

Zena smiled. “Of course. Not like I don’t know him. He will be a great help.”

Jason, who had stayed away from anything related to the medical field for the past six years, except for when he had to treat any of us in an emergency, didn’t look reluctant to take this responsibility.

The doctor instructed him about his job. “You have to give her these shots every other day. She is weak, and the baby’s fast growth will exhaust her more in the coming days…” They continued to talk for a while.

“I will take care of it,” he assured.

I went to Eira. She looked at me, and this time her gaze was different, as if she had the realisation of the bond we shared and that the baby inside was ours.

Jason made space. He looked at Raven and said, “Come to me.”

Raven went into his arms, while I sat at the edge of the bed. My own heart was overwhelmed to see our child. She shared the same emotions as mine.
