Duty-Bound: Chapter 92
...xXx...
Fists clenched tightly, he gritted his teeth while listening to her cry in pain. Damn it. I swear this will be the only time I get her pregnant. It had been hours, and he had been pacing outside the birthing chamber. Lady Yuka, or should he say his mother-in-law, his mother and several servants were already inside, aiding his love. As soon as he heard her water broke, he had assigned Youichi as regent while he waited. There was no way he was going to miss the birth of his child even though he couldn't stay by her side.
Finally, after a long, excruciating six hours, his heart leaped with joy when he heard another cry. He had thought that he would be able to see his new family soon, but then, Mikan didn't stop screaming. Slowly panicking, he couldn't help but fear the worst. However, his head snapped up when he, once again, heard another cry. His eyes widened in realisation. Twins?
Considering how Mikan also had a twin sister, it was possible that they would have twins as well. Losing his patience, he roughly slid the door open. Thankfully, no one tried to stop him as he made a beeline for his tired wife. Sitting beside her, he kissed her sweaty forehead. He was glad that she was not in pain anymore.
Then, his mother and mother-in-law approached with a small bundle in their arms.
Lady Yuka smiled as she offered the bundle to Mikan. "Your first son."
Mikan accepted him with a big smile while he accepted his second son from his mother. Both stared at their son whose eyes still closed. Happiness shined in their eyes as they looked at each other.
"I love you," they said at the same time.
Their life was complete now.
