After Bruno helped Mirabel to stand and walk to the bathroom. Mirabel sat in a chair as Bruno tested the water. The bathroom is exactly what you would imagine of a Columbian bathroom in a magical house, mosaic colorful tiles, a large tub, and open space.

"Ok, it's ready." He said happily before coming up to her he helped her to stand again by wrapping her in a hug and carrying her weight then carefully he walked her to the tub.

"Here we go, nice and easy," he said as he stepped into the water holding her hands as he lead her over the steps into the water, he was prepared to catch her in case she slipped and fell.

"Aren't I a little old to have my Uncle give me a bath?" She said squinting as the steps were a little steep and made her body ache.

"Mirabel you can get naked if you want, but I am not leaving you." He said in a serious tone with a pinch of sarcasm but Instantly blushing while trying not to show his inner turmoil from what he just said. Mirabel stepped foot in the water and gasped at the relaxing feeling.

"After what you just pulled?" She said with a laugh matching his sarcasm making him smile awkwardly as he hugged her again before helping her to sit down in the large tub.

"I only spoke the truth." Bruno replied as he knelt down taking Mirabel with him. She gasped in his ear as the warm water was deep and welcomed her like an old friend.

"There we go." He said feeling his red poncho float around him as he held onto Mirabel making sure her pelvis was below the water letting it do what it needs to do.

Mirabel sat on the side of the tub loving the feeling of the water as Bruno sat next to her.

"So the cutting option is the very last resort here?" Mirabel asked as he had poured her a glass of cold water.

"The very last. I only ever had to do that once and I hated it." he said helping her to drink. Mirabel felt the cool water hydrate her tired body and awaken her baby. She didn't realize how thirsty she was until Bruno was helping her drink a 2nd cup. Mirabel felt herself relax with the warm water so she leaned back and closed her eyes.

"Just rest Mirabel and let the water work for you." Bruno said wrapping his arm around her shoulder and pulling her to his shoulder. Mirabel relaxed in his embrace especially when he whispered in her ear.

"I am gonna check you again so just relax." He whispered making her feel his hot breath in her ear. She hummed as his other hand drew up her leg, she would not ever tell him that she loved his caresses during this time she was truly glad that he was there. He made her feel safe, loved, and cared for. Bruno too loved the feeling of her skin in his mind she was more then his niece at least in their small world of love and appreciation for the weird.

Mirabel hummed when his crinkled fingers spun her clit and opened her up letting the warm water entered her sensitives. Bruno slightly jumped when he pressed into her inner button which caused Mirabel to have a big reaction.

"OH." She groaned as a shot of pleasure coursed through her as Bruno pressed her buttons in tender circles.

"I've got you." he cooed using his fingers to measure her cervix. Bruno smiled in relief. Mirabel saw him smile as he resumed his motions.

"Hmm." Mirabel hummed lightly opening her eyes and seeing Bruno smile differently then before.

"Why are you smiling like that?" She asked sleepily cuddling under his chin.

"Because you have opened up. Your 6 cm dilated now." He said happily.

"What does that mean?" She asked waking up a bit more to look at him with surprise and happiness.

"It means your labor is progressing. the water is doing its job." He said nuzzling her head happily as she cried happy tears.

"Oh thank you." She cried out joyfully glad that the end is getting closer.

Bruno removed his hand making both internally whimper at the loss.

"So what happened to her?" Mirabel asked looking up at him wanting a distraction.

"Who?" He asked with confusion.

"The woman you had to cut?" She said, making Bruno sigh in understanding.

"She wasn't doing well, she had been in an accident a week before she was ready to deliver, her body was rejecting the baby and they were both dying. I had never done this kind of procedure so I had the original midwife help me. I had never seen such a thing, the way she had to be tied down and sedated as we cut her open and pulled the baby out. It was horrible." Bruno said gently remembering the painful memory.

"And did they survive?" Mirabel asked wrapping her arm around him to hug him comfortingly which he smiled and patted her shoulder.

"Actually. Yes." He said smiling and looking at her making her smile too.

"The Mother survived and so did the baby they had a few issues afterward and Julietta had difficulties getting there but when she did she was able to feed the mother her healing foods which transferred to the breastmilk and helped the baby," Bruno explained happily.

"I'm glad it turned out well," Mirabel said with a sleepy smile. He hummed at her as he rubbed her belly tenderly.

"Me too," He said. They stayed like that for what felt like hours but it was only a moment when Mirabel squeezed her face.

"Angh," She started as a contraction started tensing up in Bruno's hold and he wrapped his arm under her and held her close.

"Nice quick breaths, That's it." He said holding her close as she did the breathing pattern.

"ANGHHHHHHHHH!." She groaned in pain as the contraction hit. Bruno moved her slowly through the water letting her body be under the level.

"Ungh." She groaned as it stopped. She splayed out with the water letting Bruno carry her gently.

"Very good Mirabel. You keep doing so well." Bruno said letting her float as he moved her.

"I think you're full of it." Mirabel said with a groan-filled voice making Bruno laugh.

"I've been called worse." Bruno laughed with a smile.

"Like what?" She asked him.

"There is a child present. I can't talk about it." Bruno lightly sang with sarcasm making Mirabel chuckle.
