In the middle of the night, the couple was sleeping peacefully on the bed. Hidan spooning his pregnant wife from behind with his hands flatly pressed on her round belly. It was another lovely night until…
Thanerah gasped sharply as she suddenly felt pain in her womb. She gasped and hiss through gritted teeth as she shot up sitting up while holding her large belly. That woke Hidan up and when he saw the state of his wife, he immediately went alert.
She said through hissing, "H-Hidan…it…ow….it's time!"
He jumped out of bed and rushed to change. Thunder was by her side already while eyeing on her. She turned on the light and saw that it's 4 in the morning, a bit too early on the due day. He came to the bed while holding the bag that was prepared a long time ago for this time.
"Come on, Tha!"
Thanerah softly glared at him while she hissed through her gritted teeth.
He immediately sent her an apologetic look, "Sorry."
She was going to say something but she hissed harshly in pain as another cringing pain came from her womb. She immediately felt being brought into someone's arms and she was supported to stand up from the bed. She whimpered painfully as she shut her eyes tightly, "Ow, ow, how come it hurts so much!"
He couldn't help but to smirk, "Aren't Jashinists supposed to find pain pleasurable."
She opened her eyes to glare at him but she had to agree with him. The pain from her womb was pleasurable, but it was weird too. She said to him, "Come on! This baby is not going to come out itself!" Damn the pregnant hormones!
"OW! OW! OW!" screamed Thanerah as she was having another contraction on the hospital bed. It had been 12 hours since she came to the hospital and the contractions were kicking every 2 minutes. It was Hell.
Then she heard the door being opened as she panted softly with beads of sweat running down on her brow. She looked to see Hidan holding a cup of ice chips for her. When he saw her, he immediately rushed to her side and wiped the sweat away with the back of his hand.
"Shit! I've been gone for only 3 minutes and you're already this sweaty!"
She let out a small laugh as he used the hospital cloth to wipe the sweat off her brow. "I'll take that as a compliment," she said that with a little humor.
They were in the special private room. The hospital was packed with pregnant woman but that was expected.
She sighed heavily before another contraction kicked in. She groaned in pain as she shut her eyes tightly. She held Hidan's hand tightly to try to surpass the pain while biting her bottom lip to surpass a painful cry.
The Jashin blood was easing the pain but there were also some tingling pain, thankfully.
"Breathe, babe. Breathe." He told her reassuring while staring at her with concern. He hated seeing her in pain, but it's part of nature of being pregnant. He thanked Lord Jashin for being a male. He doesn't know how she could cope with this. He felt proud of her. He kissed her sweaty forehead as she panted softly, "You're doing great, babe. Just hold on a bit longer."
She let out a small laugh and said to him while her eyes were twinkling playfully, "You say that to me as if I'm dying or something."
He couldn't help it. She sounded like she was crying in pain while dying. "I can't f**king stand to see you in pain, Tha. It worries me."
Then suddenly they heard the door being knocked.
Hidan shouted at the door in anger, "Who the f**k is it now! We're f**king busy!"
Thanerah scolded him as she slapped his arm, "Hidan!"
Then their doctor entered the room with information papers on the clipboard. She grouchily said to him, "It's nice to see you too, sir."
Thanerah struggled to sit up but she was soon supported by her husband. She softly thanked him and asked the doctor, "I-Is everything okay?" Doctors made her nervous for some reason.
The doctor smiled at her as she stopped by Thanerah's side, "Everything is fine, ma'am. Your baby is doing great so far. It won't be long now for the bi-!"
"Ow! Ow!" screamed Thanerah in pain as another contraction kicked in.
Hidan jumped in surprise but the doctor looked very calm. She put the clipboard on the table nearby, put on some teal rubber gloves and checked Thanerah.
Thanerah panted heavily while she was gripping Hidan's hand so tightly, but it eased afterwards.
The doctor suddenly smiled up at Thanerah and said, "You're ready for delivery no-!"
Another contraction but this time it was more intense. "Oh my f**king God! Make it stop! Make it stop!" Thanerah screamed in pain as she shut her eyes tightly.
Hidan looked like he was going to faint at any moment.
The doctor saw that and said to Hidan and Thanerah, "Calm down. Deep, breathes…" Then she called the staff to bring Thanerah to the delivery room.
"Oh my f**king God! Get this damn baby out of me!" screamed Thanerah as she was trying to push the baby out. It had been going on for two whole minutes and it was getting too much for her to handle. She expected pain but not this much; worst part of all is that the Jashin religion didn't help much.
Hidan was supporting his wife as much as possible to push the baby out but he looked at her fearfully as he was pale as a ghost. He had never seen Thanerah in this much pain. It was horrifying.
The doctor scoffed when she saw Hidan's expression, "With all due respect, General. But please, don't look at your wife like that! Women have been doing this for centuries! She's going to be okay!" She turned her attention to Thanerah, "All right, ma'am. This is it! I need you to really push! You ready?"
She groaned deeply, "Oh shit…" And then she pushed harder as she squeezed her eyes tightly while clenching her jaw. Then she felt something came out and but heard no cry. She shot her eyes open to see something covered in blood in the doctor's arms.
Her heart started to felt being torn as she stared at the baby in her arms. The doctor cried out to something but Thanerah couldn't hear those words. She was staring at the scene in horror. She tried to reach out to touch him but he was beyond her reach.
Hidan panicked as well and shouted in anger, "What the f**k is going on! What's wrong!"
The staff and the doctor surrounded the baby and they were doing things to pump its heart. Thanerah's vision was started to get blurry by heavy tears and she couldn't stop them from sliding down from the corner of her eyes. She was immediately brought into a tight embrace by Hidan and he softly comforted her, "Don't worry; everything's going to be fine. I-It's going to be okay," he sounded like he was also trying to convince himself that.
Then they both suddenly heard a blissful cry.
Thanerah instantly stopped crying as she felt her heart skipped a beat. They both turned their heads to see the baby crying loudly in the doctor's arms. They both sighed heavily in relief as they stared at their offspring.
One of the staff mumbled, "Phew, that was close…"
The doctor brought the crying baby to the side to clean it up before covering it with a blanket. She walked back to the couple and passed the crying baby to Thanerah who held her arms out. "Congratulations. It's a boy."
Thanerah smiled down at the baby in her arms as her tears were drying up and sniffed a few times. Hidan leaned closer to take a better look at his newborn son while he was still crying. "He's…just perfect." Thanerah could hear a hint that he was proud and happy.
She smiled up at him weakly and asked, "Want to hold him?"
Hidan flinched and hesitated.
Thanerah's smile widened, "Don't worry. You're not going to hurt him." She encouraged him by pushing the baby in his arms as he was starting to stop crying.
Hidan looked at the baby while holding him quite awkwardly. It was quite entertaining to Thanerah, to be honest. Hidan raised a hand out to push the cloth away from the baby's face and in an instant the baby grabbed his finger with his whole tiny hand.
It was quite a blissful sight.
Hidan was first surprised but his expression softened. He chuckled and said to Thanerah without looking away from the baby, "He's quite strong for a baby."
Thanerah giggled softly, "I wonder where he got that from."
Then the staff entered the room and started to unbuckle Thanerah. Hidan looked confused and asked the doctor, "What's going on?"
The doctor smiled up at the new father, "We're just going to take her back to her private room. She needs some rest."
Hidan looked at Thanerah and could see she was trying to keep her eyes open. He walked to her side and kissed her forehead proudly. "Rest, Tha. We're going to be here for a while."
Hidan sat on the arm chair while his son was sleeping in the nursery wheel bed and his wife sleeping on the special hospital bed in the private room. He just couldn't believe it. Right now, he felt like the luckiest man in the world. Having a family with the love of his life. He couldn't describe the feeling but it was the best.
Suddenly he heard the door being opened softly so he looked to see Tagor and Odan entering the private room. Tagor grinned widely from ear to ear, "Hey. Is that who I think it is?"
Hidan looked at him flatly, "No. This is George Clooney."
Tagor rolled his eyes as Odan quickly walked towards the baby with a proud grin on his face. He looked at the baby for a moment before slapping Hidan's arm affectingly, "Not bad, my boy. Not bad. I can't believe it! I'm finally a grandfather!" He softly cheered the last part.
Hidan stared at his own father weirdly and asked, "Okay, who the f**k are you and what have you done with my father?"
Odan glared at Hidan and scolded him, "Don't swear in front of the baby, Hidan! Someone has to clean that dirty mouth of yours!"
"He's asleep!"
"That is not an excuse!"
Hidan rolled his eyes, "Sheesh. Calm down, old man. Hell, I've learned the words from you when I was growing up!"
Odan didn't say anything this time but he glared at Hidan.
Hidan grinned in victory. He couldn't help but to tease him, "Heh, gotcha."
