I own nothing but a weird brain. Enjoy. Warning I AM WIERD. Also I watch Call the Midwife but not since my grandmother died.
They walked slowly as they held both of their left hands clasped, his right arm around her waist holding her weight, and was prepared to catch her if she fell while she held the banister with her right hand. The storm had calmed to a drizzle and Mirabel was getting better as she walked taking deep breaths of the cool night air, she couldn't help but shudder as that air blew under her nightgown across her wet uncovered intimacy and naked body.
"Can I ask you something? And you don't have to say." She said as they passed Abuela's door.
"Anything," he said walking along with her and watching where she was stepping.
"What about midwifery do you like so much?" Mirabel asked and when she heard a chuckle she looked over at him as his eyes were shining.
"2 major reasons." He said as he helped her to take a step down rounding the corner of the second floor.
"1 I may not ever be able to find a woman to give me children of my own and helping a woman give birth was my way of living that dream of wanting to help and spoil my own wife as she gives birth to our children." He said with a dazed smile and all Mirabel wanted to do was hug him sorrowfully as her face fell.
"I am so sorry." She said stopping her walk to caress his cheek. His smile fell at her guilt-ridden face.
"Sorry for what?" he said as she came closer.
"You went into hiding to protect me. If you hadn't you might have had more opportunities to find a wife and have babies or even continue doing midwifery." She said letting tears fall down her face.
"No, no don't you do that Mirabel Madrigal." he lightly scolded.
"It was my choice to go into hiding," he said grasping her shoulders to show that he was serious.
"But?" She cried before she had to scrunch her face. Instantly Bruno lifted her arms and wrapped himself around her to hold her up letting one of his hands hold her butt to keep her steady.
"Anh. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH." She groaned as she went limp but he was strong for a skinny guy and held her close.
"That's it. It's alright." he cooed rubbing her back she curled into her Tio letting her body shiver as the contraction passed. He held her like a child with her limp legs barely dangling around his hips and he felt her shake after going limp, he couldn't help but love the tight squeezes her legs were doing to his hips. She was gorgeous in his eyes and his heart hammered with love and admiration for his niece.
"Take your time. I've got you." He said gently still holding her rocking back and forth then he felt her straighten up and he held her strong letting her readjust to standing. Mirabel loved the way he held her, he was so strong and caring she didn't want to be put down but she knew he couldn't hold her up forever.
"Nice and easy," he said smiling as she pulled away and she stared into the loving face of her misunderstood uncle that was filled with love.
"Don't ever leave me, Tio!" She said with more tears.
"Where else am I gonna go?" He said looking at her with a tender smile. She felt him wipe away her tears before they resumed their walk but slow again
"What was the second reason?" She asked as they neared the Nursery.
"What do you mean?" He asked as they went back inside letting Casita close the door gently. She turned around to sit on the bed but he was there to wrap himself around her again. She melted into his embrace as he helped her to sit down slowly and gently. She groaned at the feeling of sitting letting her back readjust. He kneeled down and gathered her legs in one arm bridal style before he reached under her back as well carefully kneeling on the bed to move her further on top of it. She relaxed in his arms holding onto his shoulders which he smiled helping her get comfortable once again.
"You said there are 2 reasons why you love Midwifery." She said getting comfortable as he tucked her back in.
"Oh, yeah. The second reason... is a secret." He said just sitting there next to her on the bed with a cocky smile.
"Oh come on." She laughed as he laughed too.
"And it is a secret I will never share with anyone." He said booping her nose making her smile which he was glad for compared to the sad and scared Mira from earlier.
"Sure." She laughed as she felt another twinge scrunching her face.
"Quick breaths Mira. Quick breaths" He reminded her as he got closer rubbing her belly gently with one hand and then her face with the other. He showed the breathing pattern making her match it before she tensed up in pain.
"OOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHH!" She groaned arching her back as she had her head in the pillow. Bruno reached over to hover and caress her face.
"You're doing so great Mira." he cooed at her tenderly as the pain passed, she went slack breathing heavily.
"Good girl. You are amazing Mira." He said wiping her forehead again and brushing her hair from her face both of his strong but gentle calloused hands treated her with kindness. Mira had her eyes closed with exhaustion as he pampered her.
"Mira?" he asked making sure she didn't faint. She turned her head to look at him.
"Ok, don't faint on me yet?" He said smiling trying to get her to smile but he failed as a tear rolled down her face making her rub her nose.
"It's gonna be ok Mira. I promise." He said letting his smile get small but not letting it leave his face as he used his thumb to brush her tears away while still holding her cheek. They stared at each other for mere moments.
"I need to examine you again. Ok?" He said calmly and he watched as she lightly turned her head before nodding.
"Ok. Just relax," He said grasping her belly lovingly making her nod again. Bruno carefully moved himself while pulling the red blanket up to her feet as he settled himself in between her legs. Mira sighed as she watched and felt her Tio lay the blanket up over her legs letting her intimacies be bare for his gaze once again. She felt his slow moving fingers brush her thighs before opening her lips to view. One finger found a sensitive nub and began a slow tantalizing swirl making her take a deep breath before his fingers pressed inside she felt him immediately press into her inner button and she clenched her fists in the sheets.
"Good girl Mira. You're doing great." He said watching her tense up as he did slow steady moves until he switched to measure her cervix. Mira watched his face turn from concentration to disappointment and his movements slowed.
"Tio Bruno?" She asked growing worried. He looked up at her and gave her a small careful smile, then with careful gesture he pulled his hands from her body and pulled the blanket back down.
"What's wrong with me?" She asked feeling new tears fall down her face.
"Nothing." he said honestly scooting closer getting really in between her legs as he began to feel her belly.
"Tio?" She asked as he concentrated.
"Is the baby ok?" She questioned him sitting up straighter getting closer to him and letting him hold her cheek again lovingly.
"Your baby is fine. He is just taking his time is all." Bruno said kissing her forehead.
"What?" She asked instantly growing more tired.
"I'm afraid that you haven't opened more then you did last night. This could keep going for another couple of hour or maybe even another day." He said gently. Mira's vision grew blurry at this new information and her arms and legs went weak.
"What does that mean?" She asked fluttering her eyes wanting an answer but failing.
"No, Mirabel." Bruno cried out holding onto her as she fainted.
