Chapter 10: Baby!
David's P.O.V.
It has been four months since the baby shower which was amazing till Kings Kurt and Blaine's surprise visit but it was still a decent shower even with the tension in the air. Ignoring that though, Sebastian is due any day now and the kingdom is in a buzz. Everyone is so excited to hear the announcement of a Prince or Princess.
Today in this hot July weather, Sebastian and I are eating our breakfast when Sebastian gives a small groan. "Babe," I say concerned.
He looks at me then motions a servant over, "call for the doctor," he tells the servant who quickly rushes out as I stand up.
I get him to our room, "It'll be alright babe," I tell him I knew he was in labor from the pregnancy books I've read.
The doctor arrived moments twenty minutes later and comes in, I'm kicked out due to being the father of the baby but after he looked everything over I'm allowed back in. "He is in labor," the doctor said, "but it might be a while till this Prince or Princess is born"
I just nod happily, "as long as she…"
"He," Sebastian says as another contraction comes.
"As long as HE is born happy and healthy," I tell the doctor glancing at Sebastian who gives me his best smirk while he is in pain.
The doctor gives a small laugh but tries to hide it as a midwife that came with him sends me out. Throughout the entire day the castle started having people gathered outside in tents, I watched them from the guest bedroom window, even the servants who didn't have to work today stayed and 'worked' waiting on the royal baby.
Hours passed it was nearing sunrise, when I was woken by Sebastian's screams. I jumped up "Sebastian!" I ran out of the room and into the hallway but a female servant stopped me on her way out of the room to get warm water for the doctor.
"Your highness, the child has not been born yet. You cannot in," she told me.
"I don't care," I said to her the king stuff getting to me…finally, "I am the king and I am allowed to do whatever I want, especially in my own home," I pushed past her, "sorry Miss." She sighed as I ran to Sebastian's side, midwifes gasped almost dropping their equipment.
The doctor hushed them, "It's alright ladies, King David just needed to be here and King Sebastian could use his support."
They just nodded, "It hurts David. Make it stop," Sebastian cried in pain.
"I'm so sorry baby," I kissed his head.
The doctor prepared everything, "Small pushes now," he told him.
Sebastian gripped my hand as he gave small pushes, "doing great babe," I kept telling him squeezing his hand.
After a few small pushes the doctor looked at Sebastian, "alright at the next contraction push as hard as you can." He nodded panting but at the next contraction he pushed as hard as he could, "the baby is starting to crown."
Sebastian made a few more pushes before a midwife looked at us, "the baby is fully crowned not much longer till the baby will just slip out."
"King Sebastian give me another big, strong push and then once the child is past its shoulder it should just slide out." Sebastian nodded giving another big push and the baby made it past its shoulder and after one more final push the baby slipped out and began crying loudly. "It's a beautiful princess," the doctor announced as the midwife cut the cord.
I smiled happily as Sebastian groaned, but was too tired to fight against it. "Princess Leeah," was all he said as the midwife took her and cleaned her up before she was put in a beautiful white onesie wrapped in a white blanket with Leeah stitched in it in pink, cursive lettering. We had two blankets made for her just in case she was a boy and that was white as well with blue, cursive lettering that said Lee. The midwife handed her over to Sebastian who held her; she had brown hair and looked like an angel. "Next time we can have a boy, because I don't plan go anywhere any time soon," he said brushing her soft brown hair.
I rolled his eyes as she slept peacefully; he took her and held her. She slept in her basinet till around ten in the morning when Sebastian got her dressed in a gorgeous dress with her white blanket wrapped around her. We stepped onto the same balcony we announced that we were pregnant with her. "Morning citizens," I said to the kingdom that was all happy to see us. "We are here to announce that the kingdom of Atlantica now has a princess. We now welcome into the world Princess Leeah Alexandra Karofsky-Smythe."
The crowd cheered quietly trying to wake her but she slowly started to so we took her inside, even though her blue eyes look adorable and I love looking at them she needs her rest. Sebastian and I go to our room and he places her in her basinet, "have a nice nap my little princess," I whisper to her then kissed her head. We leave the room for lunch downstairs; the nanny will watch her from here.
