1169 The Arrival of the Three Babies

“When I give birth in the future, my husband must accompany me. He has to face it with me!”

Qiao Nan must be full of anxiety and worry. She had no wish to go through all these by herself. She was not as strong and as brave as she thought.

“Don’t worry. I will definitely be by your side. I won’t let you face this by yourself. I am different from Zhai Sheng. I will be able to stay by your side.” He would be by her side from the first day when she was pregnant until the day the baby was delivered. He would help take care of the baby and watch as the child grew up.

Qiao Nan was due for delivery. Zhai Hua had no idea who she should inform and whether the other party would answer her call. “Why is it so quiet?”

“Don’t be anxious. This might be good news.” Tian Dong was not experienced either. He had no idea what would happen during childbirth.

Nevertheless, he had to reassure Zhai Hua. Seconds ago, she was worried that it was so quiet, but seconds later, she heard Qiao Nan’s cry of pain.

Qiao Nan was behind closed doors. Zhai Hua could barely hear what was going on in the delivery room or what the doctor was telling the nurses. She leaned against the door, trying to figure out what was happening. Qiao Nan’s cry of pain was the only sound that she could hear.

“Take a seat. I heard that the childbirth process will take some time. Some pregnant ladies took twenty-four hours to give birth to their child. Qiao Nan and the babies will be alright. You will definitely be an auntie. Are you hungry? Shall I buy some food for you?” Tian Dong checked the time. He was worried that Zhai Hua would be hungry. He did not wait for her response. After Zhai Hua took a seat, he bought some food and drinks and returned as soon as possible.

Tian Dong handed the food to Zhai Hua. Although she held the bread in her hands, Zhai Hua was not in the mood to eat anything. Instead, she drank some mineral water. “I am not hungry. I really have no appetite. Let’s wait until later.”

Tian Dong was helpless. He could do nothing but wait with her.

There were some noises in the delivery room three to four hours later. A loud wailing sound made by the baby brought hope and joy to Zhai Hua’s face. She cried in happiness. “I am an auntie. I will be an auntie in the future. Qiao Nan has delivered the baby!”

Zhai Hua was exhilarated. She grabbed Tian Dong’s hands tightly. He did not mind that it hurt. “Yes, you are an auntie and Zhai Sheng is a father. There is one more baby yet to be delivered. Qiao Nan will be out very soon.” Now that the first baby was delivered, the second baby should be delivered very soon as well.

As expected, the cries of a baby could be heard from the delivery room half an hour later. But the cries sounded somewhat different.

“She has made it. She has finally made it!” Zhai Hua felt reassured when she heard cries of another baby coming from the delivery room. She relaxed and collapsed, all the tension gone from her body.

Fortunately, Tian Dong caught her in time. Otherwise, she might have a bad fall. “It has been some time. Why aren’t they out yet? Aren’t they going to show me my nephew and niece?”

Ever since they knew that Qiao Nan had twins, the most common topic discussed in the Zhai family would be whether they were boys or girls.

In Zhai Hua’s opinion, it was best to have a boy and a girl.

“I have no idea. Perhaps they need time to clean up.” Tian Dong frowned. He could feel that something was amiss. The nurses should have brought the babies out to show the family after they were delivered.

Zhai Hua was waiting anxiously for the nurses to bring the babies to her. She had no idea that it was sheer chaos in the delivery room. “My goodness, the pregnant lady has triplets. There is one more baby in her womb, but the mother is drained of all energy after giving birth to two babies. She is unconscious.”

The water bag had broken. If they delayed further, once the fluid was drained, the third baby would be in danger.

It would be detrimental to the mother as well.

The doctor and nurses knew that Qiao Nan was from the Zhai family. Nothing must happen to Qiao Nan or the babies.

The problem was nobody knew that Qiao Nan was carrying triplets!

As her first natural delivery and first childbirth, it was considered a smooth delivery to give birth to her first baby in four hours.

But things would be different as she had to give birth to another child right away.

It was much more strenuous for the mother to give birth to two babies as compared to one baby.

“Doctor, what do we do now? The mother is still unconscious.” The nurses tried to wake Qiao Nan up, but it was in vain. Qiao Nan’s vital statistics did not look good. The nurses were anxious.

“Doctor, shall we ask the family members to sign an agreement form to perform a cesarean? Otherwise, the third baby and the mother would be in danger.” This could not drag any further.

“No.” The doctor shook her head. “It’s too dangerous. Can someone go out to get the family member to come in or to carry the child to the mother? The mother has to wake up to give birth to the third baby. We have to hurry.” It was still possible to deliver the third child. They must hurry!

Zhai Hua was stunned upon hearing the news. “Is my sister-in-law alright? Is she in grave danger?”

“Let’s not talk further. What is important now is that the mother wakes up as soon as possible and gives birth to the last baby. Otherwise, the third child may be in danger and it will be detrimental to the mother’s health.” The nurse made Zhai Hua went through the disinfection process and she changed into a proper outfit to enter the delivery room.

Zhai Hua sucked in her breath, looking pale and serious.

One of the nurses handed one of the babies to Zhai Hua. The baby was so soft and tiny. He did not seem to have bones and felt like a ball of flesh. Zhai Hua cradled the baby in her arms and walked to stand beside Qiao Nan. She placed the tiny red hands of the baby onto Qiao Nan’s face. “Nan Nan, you must wake up as soon as possible. We are going to have three babies instead of two babies at home. You have one more baby in your womb. If you don’t wake up now, we will not be able to keep the third baby. You must not give up.”

The baby was wrapped in a white towel. He started crying beside Qiao Nan for no reason.

Qiao Nan frowned slightly and moved her lips, as if calling out to the baby.

The doctor and the nurses were relieved. “The mother is awake. Hurry! There is one more child to deliver!”

Qiao Nan finally gave birth to the third child amid the wailing sounds of the baby. The third child was smaller than the previous two babies and it did not cry as loud as the previous babies.

The third baby whimpered softly like a tiny kitten.

“Nan Nan, you have done it. You have given birth to three babies. They are doing fine. You are amazing!”
