Forced Mate

An Angel

Ayu woke up from her sleep after feeling a strange movement in her stomach. Like something was spinning around in there, her son was getting more active. The pain in his lower abdomen is increasingly felt, as well as soreness in the back.

Sweat pours out on his head, when the room is cold. He grimaces in pain. He still had a little strength to move his hand. He started to smack Alex's cheek. Honey, that guy's late asleep.

Ayu can't take it anymore. He could also feel the flow of water along his thighs. Breaking apart. In fact, according to predictions, the date of Ayu's birth is still three weeks away.

"A-lex!" moaning Ayu who then grimaced. His hands clasped tightly on the bedcover. Tears flowed with unbearable pain. He squirmed slowly while holding his stomach. Alex's breathing is regular. Ayu had tried to elbow and there was no response.

Rintihan Ayu turned sob, she moved uneasily. I've been calling Alex's name so many times, there's still no response. The man was late to sleep because Ayu kept asking to rub his back.

Alex's hand moved, coiling in Ayu's belly. The man's eyes were still closed. While Ayu was not able to bear the pain from his stomach, back, to his entire lower body. I don't know how long, Alex's hand went up under Ayu's neck. With a pain that seemed to want to kill, Ayu lowered her head and bit her arm over her chest.

Alex's hand was raised and Ayu could hear the ringis slowly from the owner. Instead of waking up, Alex turned to turn his back on Ayu. Desperate gnaws at Ayu. If only he could, he wanted to take off his waist so that there would be no pain. Not to mention, he felt like going into the bathroom, the urge was so loud that the pain in the stomach grew more and more.

Alex coughing. He started rubbing his eyes, then fingered towards the nightstand. He looked for a glass of water that was always put there. He had not yet realized Ayu's pain.

"Lex!" yowih Ayu who has now been heard by Alex.

"Darling, what's wrong?"

Ayu held Alex's arm hard. He did not answer, but the man knew. The room that was dim was immediately bright when Alex had risen from the bed. He ran towards the closet to pick up the bag he had prepared. Fortunately, she had been preparing the bag for Ayu's delivery since two weeks ago. There was a point in him having a hasty attitude.

Without changing his blue satin pajamas, Alex carried Ayu in both hands, one of which was attached to a bag. He tried to control himself not to panic too much. Half-running, he headed for his parked car. He was in trouble when he had to open the car lock, also when opening the car door because there was Ayu.

After putting Ayu in the car seat, Alex arranged the position so that Ayu could lie down in the seat. Then, run to the other side of the car to take over the wheel. During the trip he glanced occasionally at the women who were grimacing and moaning in pain.

"Wait a minute, honey! We want to arrive" said Alex who turned the car into the courtyard of the maternity home clinic. Arriving there, he carried Ayu's body again and was immediately assisted by a nurse who was in the reception area. There was another nurse who directly pushed the bed for Ayu.

Ayu squirms on the bed. Alex was with him. The doctor checked and it turned out Ayu had just opened the fourth.

"It hurts!" yowl Ayu with her hand squeezing Alex's arm.

One hand Alex stroked Ayu's hair. "Propay ya! This is a buaybDedek too."

Ayu grimaced again after feeling the contraction. He was silent with his eyes closed. Then, her lower lip bitten tried to drown out the unbearable pain.

"Try the taste of you," said Ayu.

Alex fell silent. He decided to stroke Ayu's stomach. He twirled his tan around the navel. "Dedek out, yeah. Let Mama not get sick, keep seeing Papa too."

Ayu's hardened face began to fall. His forehead no longer puckered. "He likes to be glued."

Alex smiles. He kissed Ayu's forehead and kept wiping her stomach. He grabbed a tissue over a small cupboard, wiping the sweat off his forehead.

"Good night" said the doctor who will help Ayu deliver.

The doctor came to replace the previous doctor, because Alex did not want the delivery of his wife assisted by a male doctor. Call him old-fashioned or discrediting the position of male obstetrician, he doesn't care. It was only because of his instincts as a husband, precisely jealousy.

"How are things, Mom?" the doctor asked Ayu, but the one who answered was Alex. "My wife is in pain, Doc. Has there been no action?"

Alex squeezes Ayu's fingers. It was not her who wanted to give birth, but her nervousness was not restrained. Especially when he saw the doctor began to examine the path where the baby will be born.

"Still opening five," said the doctor who had removed the glove.

"Need five more openings, then?" ask Alex who was confirmed by the doctor. "It's been an hour and has only gone up one level. Is there any other way, my wife is already in so much pain?"

Alex just looked at the Doctor and the nurse talking. He stroked the top of Ayu's head again. The woman grimaced again and moved agitatedly.

"Are you not willing to consider SC, honey. You are so tormented" whispered Alex after peeping Ayu's forehead for umpteenth again.

Ayu shakes.

"Bu Ayu, let's take a little walk first, yeah!" The doctor is standing next to Ayu's bed.

If Alex had never read the article and participated in childbirth exercises, she would have protested. The sisters begin to help Ayu get out of bed. Snapping, Alex grabs Ayu's body. She couldn't possibly trust the little nun to hold Ayu's weight due to a big pregnancy.

The nurse prepared a bench for Ayu to sit on after she walked back and forth three times in the room. Alex helps Ayu stand up straight. He stood behind the woman to hold her back while Ayu's one leg was on the chair.

According to doctors, the movement can stimulate fetal rotation to quickly go down. After that, Alex now holds Ayu's arm from behind to hold the woman who was opening both legs wide did not fall.

Alex's heart beat faster at how tormented Ayu who kept changing positions. He occasionally kissed lovingly on Ayu's back head. She often heard how difficult and painful it was when women gave birth. Namin, he didn't expect it to be that painful.

Finished with a forward leaning position while holding on to the iron bars, Ayu returned to the top of the bed. Alex begins to help Ayu to take a crawling position on the bed. This time, the doctor said that the position could help to relieve low back pain.

Ayu was exhausted, so the Doctor said that their training was enough. They just wait and he says it again. He would come check every ten minutes at Alex's request.

After the doctor and nurse came out, Alex immediately hugged Ayu's body. He stuck his nose on Ayu's nose, trying to clear his mind. He was afraid, not knowing what he was afraid of. He was sick and claustrophobic seeing Ayu so tormented.

"Sorry" said Alex. Ayu reviewed the smile, although her forehead shriveled withstanding the pain. Alex really doesn't feel useful right now, when Ayu is in pain there's nothing she can do. He even felt guilty because indirectly he caused Ayu to suffer. However, he tried to encourage himself so that his wife was also strong.

The sun started to rise, saying hello in the morning. It had been more than two hours they were there, suddenly Ayu's stomach started to contract violently. There is a sense of pushing from within.

"I'm going to the toilet" said Ayu. The doctor came again. The doctor checked and immediately asked the nurse to prepare for the birth process because Ayu's opening was complete.

Alex kept holding Ayu's fingers. The woman's grip tightened. Alex heard nothing, other than Ayu's moans, as well as the voices of doctors and nurses who guided Ayu to catch her breath so as not to get tired in order to push on time.

Alex's hand, which was free from Ayu's grasp, began to stroke Ayu's wet hair and forehead filled with sweat. He kissed the forehead, occasionally whispering sweet and uplifting words to his wife. Her tears trickled down seeing how hard Ayu struggled to bear their child. There is a sense of regret because all this time put hate on his mother.

It all happened just like that, right when the doctor ordered Ayu to push and Alex was full. An extremely beautiful sound of crying filled his senses. The tears that were just now were still timid, falling just like that. He looked at the weak Ayu, but did not whimper anymore. He kissed Ayu long on the forehead.

"We're parents, honey," whispered Alex, you switched to kissing Ayu's two hands.

Alex's gaze toward the tiny baby who was flushed with blood. The baby is still crying. The baby, who was called beautiful by the doctor, was on a table with a pile of cloths and blankets. A nurse deftly wiped the remaining blood all over the body. Meanwhile, the others are still busy to clear the placenta in Ayu's womb.

Alex grabs her beautiful daughter from the sisters' hands. He smiled with tears constantly dripping. Her baby was blushing, therapy for some reason she seemed to see a beautiful bright light on that face. He couldn't explain what it was like, which he knew by now his chest was as big as a football field. She touched the little fingers, then kissed the baby's cheek. He fell in love with the woman in his arms. A love that will not be cut off at any time. The wingless angel that God sent to be a part of his life forever.
