HALF MY SOUL

EXTRA PARTS (2)

Anthony took great care of Kimberly during this pregnancy. Sometimes he only worked half a day at the office, and the rest he finished at home.

"Darling, I'm not a child" Kimberly said as Anthony fed her.

"Let me do it. You must be tired of carrying this belly of yours for 9 months."

"But I can still eat by myself. Shame I saw Mommy and Daddy," Kimberly covered her reddened face as Anthony was still feeding her.

"Let him do it, Kim. Daddy used to do the same thing to Mommy" Lee laughed.

However, only a few times he received a bribe, suddenly his stomach hurt.

"Darling, what's wrong?" anthony asked as he watched Kimberly grimace.

"I-I'm wetting my bed" Kimberly lowered her head in embarrassment, but she also continued to endure the pain.

"Kim's not wetting the bed, baby. Looks like the membranes broke. You take Kimberly to the hospital, Daddy and Mommy will follow.

Anthony took Kimberly to the hospital. He sat in the back seat hugging and holding Kimberly's hand, to strengthen his wife. While the driver was driving.

Arriving at the hospital, Anthony was immediately directed to the delivery room because Kimberly's membranes had broken, so he had to get treatment immediately. Anthony entered the delivery room to accompany Kimberly.

"It hurts" Kimberly said, holding Anthony's hand firmly.

"Can't it be dealt with immediately?" ask Anthony to worry.

"We'll be waiting for the gynecologist who handled Mrs Kimberly in a moment. It's still at aperture 8, so we'll wait until opening 10" explained a nurse.

Every 10 minutes, Kimberly felt an excruciating abdominal pain. It slowly drops to 5 minutes. By the time the obstetrician arrived, Kimberly was ready to take the baby out.

"Pull your breath, then throw it away slowly. If I say to push, then you push."

Kimberly held Anthony's hand firmly as the pain returned.

"One, two, three, push!" shouted the doctor.

"Nhhhh ...."

"A little more, Madam. We can see his head."

Again, the pain came. Kimberly again asked to take a breath then push in one breath.

Oekkk ... oekkk ....

The doctor removes a baby, then gives it to a nurse to clean. The doctor refocused his attention to clean all the remaining blood and also the placenta that must be removed. The doctor must remove it, because if it is too long, it will cause infection and excessive blood loss.

After the baby was cleaned, the obstetrician carried it and gave it to Anthony.

"Congratulations, sir, the baby boy. Very healthy and perfect. May God always take care and accompany your family life," said the doctor.

"Thank you very much, Doc," Anthony kissed Kimberly on the forehead as well as the baby, "Thank you, baby."

For the first time, the baby is placed on Kimberly's body to find the source of her life. It made Anthony and Kimberly smile.

Lee and Anita were already waiting in front of the delivery room. They could not wait to see their first grandchild. Before leaving, they had also contacted their besan. Alan, Megan, and King leave for New York City.

Anthony walked out of the delivery room smiling at his parents, "How about, An?"

"They're both good and healthy, Dad, Mom. We'll meet them in the ward. Here many people, it is not good for a newborn baby. Daddy and Mommy just wait here for a second yeah, Anthony will take care of the room for Kim and baby Aiden."

"Yes Mom, Kimberly and I named him Aiden Leandro Graham."

"A very good name, baby. He will be as strong a person as you expect."

"Thank you, Mom. I'll drop Kimberly for a second. I'm going to the administration."

"All right, baby."

*****

Inside the room, the laughter of family members was heard clearly. Happiness was so in their eyes. For both families, Aiden was their first grandchild.

"Congratulations, Kim. I'm so happy to see you."

"Thank you, Brother. What about my brother?" ask Kimberly.

"I'm happy too, Kim."

"really?" King smiled and nodded.

"I've proposed to Hanna .. and she accepted."

"Ahhhh, congratulations!!" kimberly shouted while hugging King.

Anthony immediately congratulated King, "Happy King! Happy Hanna. He's been through a lot, he deserves to be happy."

"I understand, An. Thank you so much that you and Hansel always accompany and look after her."

"Because I believe we will definitely return and realize everything," Anthony once again hugged and patted King on the shoulder.

Baby Aiden was taken into the room by a nurse. Together they also came the obstetrician who handles Kimberly, along with a pediatrician who was recommended to give an explanation to Anthony and Kimberly who has now become parents.

*****

Kimberly was sitting on a couch on the back porch of the Graham residence. He noticed Anthony playing with Aiden, now 5 years old.

He drank a cup of tea in front of him, then stroked his stomach which was now back to bloat.

She was so grateful to God for giving her a husband like Anthony. A man who at first only he knew as a supervisor of university entrance exams. Her kindness, her sincerity, and her care, had melted Kimberly's heart.

Perhaps love does come from habituation, as Kimberly is accustomed to how sincere Anthony's attention is to her. He was afraid ...fear of losing someone who loved him so much, accepted him, and turned out to love him so deeply.

Kimberly smiled as she waved at her son who was now carried by Anthony and came to him.

Kimberly looked at Anthony's bead, "Thank you, baby. You gave me so much happiness, that it felt like this heart was so full."

"I'm happy if you're happy, baby," Anthony kissed Kimberly on the forehead and then hugged her shoulder, "and I still have so much love I'll give you every day."

"I love you, Anthony Lee Graham" Kimberly said.

"And I will always love you more, Kimberly Harisson," Anthony smiled at Kimberly. Carrying their son, he gave his wife a deep kiss.

Thanks again for your attention.

Cherry luph and full!!
