Orion's pain intensified, and he moaned, his face contorted with distress. He shifted uncomfortably, his cries growing more urgent. "Abraxas, the pain… it's so intense. It feels like it's getting worse."
Abraxas, alarmed by Orion's escalating pain, immediately sprang into action. "I'm calling the healer now!" he said urgently, his voice filled with concern.
Before he could move, Orion's pain escalated sharply, and he let out a scream as the contractions became more intense. His breathing grew rapid and shallow, and his body trembled with the overwhelming discomfort.
Abraxas rushed to the door, his heart pounding as he called out, "Healer! We need you immediately!"
The healer, who had been waiting in the sitting room, quickly returned to the room at Abraxas's call. She moved swiftly to Orion's side, her expression calm and focused as she began to assess the situation.
"Orion, I'm here," the healer said soothingly. "I know it's extremely painful, but try to focus on your breathing. I'm here to help you through this."
Abraxas returned to Orion's side, holding his hands tightly, his eyes filled with concern. "You're doing great, love. Just keep focusing on the healer and your breathing."
The healer worked efficiently, offering guidance and assistance as she managed the situation. With Abraxas's support and the healer's expertise, they worked together to help Orion through the intense pain of the contractions.
Despite the agony, Orion found some comfort in the presence of those around him, their support helping him navigate the difficult moments of labor.
Orion's face paled as another contraction hit, his body wracked with pain. He moaned loudly, "Oh, it hurts so much!" Tears streamed down his face as he cried out in distress.
The healer, maintaining her calm and professional demeanor, examined Orion quickly. "You're 8 centimeters dilated," she said, her voice reassuring yet focused. "You're almost there. Your water should break soon."
Orion's pain intensified suddenly, and he cried out in distress. "I'm wet," he said, confusion and pain evident in his voice. As he realized his water had broken, a new wave of pain surged through him. He shouted in frustration, "This is so hard!"
