Since morning Aira has been moving around here and there, taking a walk in the park, picking some flowers and putting them in a vase, then cleaning these things. Erigo kept an eye on him.
"Darling, try to rest a little." Erigo said with a smile.
"I'm not tired." Cetus Aira while taking the kemoceng. "I just want to wag this in the air." Said Aira relaxed. "To fill the time."
Erigo nodded. "This house looks so shiny that I can lick it."
Aira laughed, then suddenly fell silent. Erigo narrowed his eyes looking at the paled Aira. "That's another one, right?" Sharp ask.
"One more what?"
"Contractions." Erigo said.
Actually, it has been since the last half hour, Aira's lower stomach feels cramping and makes her a little anxious. But there was no point in panicking, according to the birth guidebook, the cramp was gathering momentum, and it was exactly how Aira felt. It only needs to calculate the time span between one contraction to the next.
Aira looked at her husband and tried hard to turn the pain into a smile.
Erigo walked quickly over to Aira just as Aira lowered her head to touch her stomach tightly.
"Augh.. Ouch!" Aira groaning.
"Contract again?" Ask Erigo.
Aira nodded. Erigo's hands were so strong and soothing on his back. Aira looked up at her husband. His facial expression changed.
"You need to stay calm." Erigo. One hand caressed Aira's head. "We prepared it, didn't we? Remember your breathing exercises." Erigo soft speech.
From just ordinary pain, the cramp is now radiating into something frightening, like an approaching threat. Aira. Struggling with all his might to remember anything the guide books said as it seemed like everything had already evaporated and disappeared from his head.
"We're going to the hospital now. I think the babies are coming out." Cetus Erigo with a gaze that Aira had never seen before.
"My body." Aira's words choked. "I need my bag. My suitcase." Her speech. Just then Ellie ran upstairs to take Aira's needs without being ordered.
Erigo did not trust himself to drive under these circumstances so he asked the driver to drive them to the hospital. Along the way Erigo let his arm get scratched when Aira grabbed him tightly while enduring the pain of contractions.
Erigo looked at the sweaty hairs drenching Aira's forehead. "What do you feel?" Erigo asked trying to look calm.
"Hot!" Said. "I'm scared, Erigo."
Erigo's heart was pounding hard, and he found himself praying. "Don't be afraid, baby, I'm with you." Her speech. To be honest Erigo was also scared, but he would not let Aira see his fear.
They arrive at the hospital and Aira is thrust into the delivery room, Erigo being with her.
Aira gripped Erigo again as another contraction lunged. This time slower, hotter and crueler. A warm liquid flowed between his legs and seeped into the bed sheet.
"Here we go." Said a midwife. "Your water has broken, it will all begin now."
The doctor and his midwife tell him to push, Aira follows him. Aira didn't care when another contraction hit her. When her pain disappeared, Aira felt Erigo's hand tidying up her damp strands of hair and kissing her cheek. "You're great, baby. You can do it."

Through a dramatic birth process, a baby boy and a baby girl are born into the world.
"Baby boy" cried the midwife. With a trembling body Aira watched as her baby experienced the first seconds of life. The tiny hand opened and closed then stretched out punching the air. Then a soft cry sounded, slowly getting stronger.
Just a few minutes later, another heartburn appeared accompanying the birth of her baby daughter. This time the process was done with incredible calm. Baby Aira came out through precious seconds. No sound has been heard. Only the movement of the baby increased, then dramatically, the first weak cry of life was heard again.
Erigo slumped next to Aira. He desperately wants to help Aira but there is nothing he can do. Throughout the process, he did not stop praying. He begged the authorities not to take Aira from him.
Now Erigo put his forehead on Aira's forehead. "Our daughter's son." Said. "You're a great woman Aira. Ilove you. Love you so much." His voice was raucous as if his throat was clogged with dust. "Thank you for fighting."
And all of a sudden, Erigo cried without shame.

Aira was lying on the bed, with two babies in the crib beside her. After giving birth, she takes a very comfortable bath and falls asleep with Erigo sitting next to her like a handsome bodyguard.
"All right." Erigo sat on the bed and looked at her. "How are you feeling?"
Aira smile. "It's amazing." He said, looking at the two babies who were fast asleep. "They are very calm."
"And so charming too." Erigo smiled softly. He leaned in to kiss Aira's lips. "You've been fighting to give birth to them." He said and rubbed Aira's face. "Actually I'd rather have them separately." He landed a soft kiss on Aira's head. "I was worried about you during pregnancy. You seem too tiny to have one baby, let alone two."
Aira smiled and looked at Erigo lovingly. "We went through those times well, didn't we? Now just have to be thankful because they're so healthy." Aira looked at the two babies again.
"I'm not grateful. I'm just worried because you look so exhausted over the last weeks. But fortunately there were no complications during the birth process."
Aira's face was beaming. "I didn't know you were that worried. Thanks, baby." Her speech.
"Do you think they're growing up?" Ask Erigo.
Aira smiled widely. "The babies aren't even 24 hours old."
Aira too late realized there were dozens of flowers surrounding her room. "Did anyone come while I was sleeping?" Ask.
Erigo chuckles. "Everyone's coming, baby. They say that there are not only two babies sleeping, but three."
Aira looked at Erigo, dumbfounded. Her face flushed. "Geez, I'm that calm?"
"really so. I thought you fainted and called the nurse." Erigo chuckles. "Then they laughed and said that you were just asleep, and I didn't have to worry." Erigo looked down and laughed. "Augh it's embarrassing."
Aira laughed. "Come here" he said, extending a hand. Erigo bowed and hugged Aira. "You must be worried. Thanks." Thanks." Her speech. "I promise I'll recover quickly."
A nurse came and smiled seeing them embrace. "You're so sweet." Said. The nurse also told Aira that she should try to breastfeed her baby diligently so that the baby is not yellow, then help Aira to be able to breastfeed with the right position and posture.
Very gently the nurse placed the baby on Aira's arm, and instinctively, the baby searched her mother's breasts. Aira felt a strong pull of love as she looked at her tiny baby.
