"A Shower and Labor"
Now being six months in her pregnancy, Vietnam is about to have her appointment with the midwife to determine how she is doing and making sure she is in the best shape on the day she has to deliver her baby so with Thailand keeping her company and they went off to the midwife's office to do a routine visit
During the visit the midwife did some tests on Viet and then listened to the baby's heart beat and she told them that the baby is doing fine that there is nothing to worry about, but she told her that in case she can't deliver naturally then they have to go to the hospital to do so. The couple agreed for they want their baby to be born safe and sound they have to be prepared for anything goes wrong with the delivery. After all that they finished their appointment and set for home to relax or so Vietnam thought
When they got home it was filled with colorful pastel decorations and then the female nations yelled out "Surprise" for they had thrown Vietnam a surprise baby shower
"Oh my thanks everyone" said Vietnam as she was surprised to see everyone and begins to join the girls while Thailand went to another room where the male nations are at and begins to have a chat with them.
"So Thai you ready to be a Dad I suppose" said Hong Kong as he gives Thailand a drink
"Thanks Hong Kong" said Thailand as he got the cup "Well I am excited but to be honest I am a bit scared as well"
"Thailand it's only natural so there is nothing to worry about I mean a baby sure brings you joy and fear but your instinct as a father will soon come in" said England as he speaks in a comforting manner "After all a new baby can bring new surprises"
"Thanks England" said Thailand with a smile as he was still talking with the others and during their talk the girls were having their fun talking and handing Vietnam all sorts of pastel colored packages and opening these gifts she was happy to see that the gifts she received were cute outfits like shirts, sweaters, onesies, pants and some night clothes.
Also with the gifts there were plush toys, a baby book, a picture frame that will have photos of the little from birth till it is a year old placed there, storybooks, a soft nightlight that is in the shape of a sleepy moon and some lullaby CDs. These gifts were truly special and adorable. Seeing all this she thanked the girls for such lovely gifts for this made her very happy that she feels her baby will have everything it will need.
"Thank You for the lovely gifts I truly love it" said Vietnam as she got to hold one of the little outfits in her hand
"You're Welcome" said Taiwan with a smile and gently holds her hand "Viet we are here for you ok? Because we're friends and well I always thought of you as a big sister when I was little. If you guys ever need a babysitter I am happy to do it"
"Thanks Tai" said Vietnam as she hugged back the Taiwanese girl "You're the best"
"So in case the midwife be sure to call me" said Taiwan "Or any of us girls"
Hearing this Vietnam can count on them for anything and now she even has someone to babysit her baby when it arrives. During the party everyone was having a good time talking, sharing stories, playing some games and of course giving the couple parenting advice which would be helpful for them for their little one to come x333333333
After all the guests left Thailand took all the gifts into the nursery to put them away for her and Vietnam adored the gifts that they got for but she is tired from the big day that she went to their room
"Oh boy Little One I hope you're not bigger later on cause I feel heavy already" said Vietnam she sort of fell on the bed
After finishing Thailand comes into their room with a package in his arm and joins his wife on the bed. Vietnam sees her husband with the package and Thai gently hands it to her
"I know this isn't much but I did some shopping and I wanted the baby to have this" said Thailand as he saw Vietnam open it to reveal a newborn gown seeing this made her feel very happy while hugging it
"Thai this is so thoughtful of you" said Vietnam as she was smiling "I can't wait to give this to our little one. Thanks so much Thai this really means a lot to me"
Thailand saw his wife smile in delight for he was happy that his gift made her smile and he was glad that the small he gave her really made her truly happy
Well three months has passed much quicker than they thought and winter ended with the snow melting and spring has come with the blooming of the flowers, but on a spring night with the light of the full moon Vietnam has begun to go into labor with the midwife not being able to be there for she was attending someone at another place Thailand is doing his best to help his wife as she is going through this all on her own breathing heavily and sweating a lot for she was in pain
"Viet if you need anything please let me know" said Thailand as he held her hand and was very worried for her
"I….will…" said Vietnam in a weak voice as she he held his hand tightly and then she felt another contraction coming so she yelled in pain
Not knowing what to do Thailand decides to leave her for a few seconds to call Taiwan and Hungary to help out while doing so he began to call China, Japan, and Macau to keep him company. With that Taiwan and Hungary arrived to help out Vietnam so that means Thailand was in the living room pacing back and forth feeling rather nervous
"Oh my I can't believe this day has come and well I just don't know what to do" said Thailand as he was ready to break down as he sat on the couch
"Everything will be all right, aru. Vietnam is strong both her and the baby will be fine" said China as he sat next to Thailand to comfort him "There is nothing to worry about"
"He's right" said Macau as he made tea for Thailand "Here this will calm you down"
"Thanks Macau" said Thailand as he slowly drank the tea
"Thankfully tonight is a more peaceful night" said Japan looking outside while holding his little dog Pochi "Otherwise it we be in a terrible rainstorm"
Japan was right they were lucky enough that night was more calmer so probably the baby's arrival will be a lot easier on everyone including Vietnam
Meanwhile the girls are helping Vietnam for now that her water broke she is now ready to deliver
"Come on Viet you can do it" said Taiwan for she was holding Vietnam's hand
"I need you to do is push for me ok Vietnam?" said Hungary as she was signaling Vietnam to breath and push
Vietnam is doing her best for now she is about to meet her child for the first time.
