one step away [Interstellar]

78.

He Bei's labor pains began at three o'clock in the morning two days later, and Xia Zuo, who was lying on the sofa, was awakened by her slight moans, and walked to her side immediately.

Like being kicked violently, the severe pain started from the stomach and rushed to the brain through every nerve.Heber gritted his teeth in pain, dripping with cold sweat.

"Hebe...Hebe...what's the matter, Hebe?" With a nervous expression on his face, Xia Zuo staggered to Hebe's bedside, and held her hand accurately in the dark night.

In the pain, He Bo grabbed Xia Zuo's hand tightly with his backhand, clenched it tightly, enduring the bursts of severe pain, and said, "Um... ah... it hurts... it hurts..."

"Where? Where does it hurt?" Xia Zuo, who was so nervous and overwhelmed, reached out to comfort her painful place, but realized in the next second that Heber might be in pain.A great panic hit her, and amidst her wife's intermittent groans, she forced herself to calm down, and asked in a steady voice, "Does your stomach hurt?"

"Um... yes..." He Bo bit his lip, forced out two words, and held Xia Zuo's hand even harder.It was the first time Xia Zuo knew that a woman who is an Omega can have such great strength, and she felt a dull pain from being held.

"It should be that the baby is about to be born." Xia Zuo calmly made a judgment, turned on all the lights in the room with his free hand, and rang the bell.Without hesitation, she chose to seek help from the doctors.

Under the bright light, Heber was lying on the hospital bed with a pale face.Looking at her expression, Xia Zuo felt uneasy.

The strong light stimulated Sang Xu's eyelids, and she woke up in a daze, only to hear a chaotic noise.Subconsciously, she turned her head to look at the noisy place.

People in white overalls gathered around Heber's bed, whispering to each other.Sang Xu reacted for a while, and then watched He Bo being pushed out of the room by a group of people in the midst of the chaos. She didn't care about anything else, and hurriedly followed.

In the gradually clear voice, she finally heard her sister's suppressed moans.With a sweeping gaze, he searched for the figure his sister cared about, and saw the young little duke who looked very calm.She has been by her sister's side all the time, holding her hand and comforting her in a low voice.Sang Xu followed closely. Hearing her sister suppressing her painful voice, she hurriedly walked to the little duke's side, and held her sister's hand tightly while running.

Everything was so flustered, Xia Zuo felt that all his heartbeats were resting on Heber.She looked at the pale-faced woman lying on the hospital bed, changed her clothes under the nurse's instructions, and followed Heber into the delivery room.

The surrounding figures were shaking and gradually becoming blurred. From the beginning to the end, she held Heber's hand tightly, her heart up and down with the strength of her palm.There was only Hebe's moaning in pain, and she heard her voice go from suppressed and restrained at the beginning, to gradually let go at the end, and became hoarse.

There was a chill down her spine, but the hand holding Heber became tighter and tighter.

"Come out, come out."

The cheers of doctors and nurses rang in my ears, and after a while, loud cries of babies pierced the sky above the delivery room.Sang Xu, who had been staying by her sister's side all the time, smiled in surprise when she saw the blood-stained child carefully carried out by the doctor.

"There's one more, and one more..."

With Heber's efforts, the second child was born soon.Another cry rang in my ears, and everyone in the delivery room cheered.

They held the baby, wrapped her in the prepared cotton cloth, and passed each other.Under the guidance of the nurse, Sang Xu, who was very happy, hugged the child carefully. Because she was so happy, she wanted to share this touch with others.So she hugged the child, and Xia Zuo, who rarely took the initiative, said, "Hey, look, sister's child, isn't it cute?"

She bumped into Xia Zuo, but the other party might have been too surprised and ignored her.Sang Xu raised his head and looked at Xia Zuo. When he saw it, he couldn't help being stunned.

At some point, the little duke burst into tears.

Her sister... didn't even cry just now.

Thinking of this, Sang Xu felt a little shocked.

Through the hazy eyes of tears, Xia Zuo looked at the woman he was holding tightly, and in the hustle and bustle, he saw the eyes of the other person looking at him as well.After a while, Xia Zuo leaned over, reached out and hugged Heber gently, and said hoarsely, "Thank you... Hebe... thank you..."

Only when she truly embraced the woman in her arms did her wandering heart really settle down.Xia Zuo hugged Heber, his body still trembling from excessive panic.

It's really... like a dream.At this moment, she felt a sense of powerlessness.

After experiencing an exhausting torment of pain, Heber only felt that her whole body was extremely weak, but after her cheeks touched the cold tears of the other party, she still raised her hand without hesitation, and hugged him with one hand. Xia Zuo's head was gently soothed.Trying to show a smile, He Bo whispered in her ear, "You're welcome... Xia Zuo... I also thank you..."

When everyone was rejoicing for the birth of a child, as a mother of two children, they hugged each other.

Sang Xu, who was holding a child with the doctor, was inexplicably moved when he saw the two figures embracing each other on the bed.

A person who would cry like this for his sister probably wouldn't go there.

As if persuading himself, Sang Xu thought so.

Compared with other pregnant women who gave birth naturally, the pain experienced by Heber was not very long.Perhaps she had experienced this torture a long time ago.So much so that after giving birth to two children, she was only a little weak, but her consciousness was still very clear.

"Where's the child?" After realizing that the young alpha he was holding had calmed down, Heber leaned against her ear and said softly, "Can you bring her here?"

"Yeah." Xia Zuo nodded, only then remembered their newborn child, she calmed down, got up from He Bei, wiped her face that was messed up from crying with her hands, and looked at the people around them.

"Congratulations, Your Excellency, there are two girls." The doctor who was holding the child said to Xia Zuo with a smile, and handed the child in his arms to Xia Zuo's arms, and said, "This is the younger sister, the lady with the baby is pregnant." I'm holding my sister." The doctor pointed to Sang Xu with a kind face.

"Thank you." Under the guidance of the nurses, Xia Zuo hugged his child nervously.She lowered her head and looked at the young baby in her arms, whose eyes were stained with blood and couldn't open her eyes, her heart was soft.Lying on the bed, He Bo tried his best to raise his head, seeing Xia Zuo's gradually softening expression, he also showed a gentle smile.

Others looked at the young couple with kindness and wished them a child of their own.In such an atmosphere, Sang Xu hugged the child, looked at He Bo, then at Xia Zuo, and when she turned her head again, she saw her sister waving at her, and said with a smile, "Come here."

This wave was not only for Sang Xu, but also for Xia Zuo.The two knew each other, walked to the bed with the child in their arms, and bent down together to show Heber the child in his arms.

The two young babies, who were almost identical, nestled in the arms of the adults with their eyes closed. They seemed to have just cried and cried for a while, and now they are all sleeping peacefully, except for spit bubbles occasionally, they are very well-behaved.

Hebe couldn't help reaching out, poking their soft cheeks, showing a very gentle smile.

Ah, this is her child.

I don't know why, the pain was so painful just now, but I didn't force out the physiological tears of stress.But now, just looking at them, I felt a sore nose, and tears welled up from the corners of my eyes.

She raised her head, looked at Xia Zuo with sparkling eyes, and her face was moved.Xia Zuo smiled and said to her, "Okay, you need to rest now." They will have plenty of time to take care of their children.

Seeing that the family had briefly celebrated the joy of the newborn, the nurses stepped forward to pick up the babies, ready to give them a bath, and then put them in the nursery.

"Have the two of you decided on a name for the child?" The nurse, who was busy registering information, took the time to look at the two new mothers and asked casually.

Subconsciously, Xia Zuo glanced at He Bo, only to find that he was looking at him with encouragement on his face.She thought for a while, and said with a smile, "It's already taken. My sister's name is Chesnot. Chesnot Westerell."

After she finished speaking, she glanced at Heber again, and saw that the other person looked at her and nodded with a gentle expression on his face.

So the encouraged alpha continued talking, and said with a smile, "My sister is called Li Qi, Li Qi Wei..."

"Weir. Li Qi. Xia Zuo. Weir." She was interrupted by Heber before she finished speaking.Xia Zuo turned his head and looked at Heber with surprise on his face.Not only Xia Zuo was shocked by the sudden name, but also Sang Xu.

Wait, it's fine to use Xia Zuo's surname, why is Xia Zuo's name used as a middle name?Although in the empire, it is customary to use the ancestor's name and the parent's name as the middle name, but this is also...

I don't know if he was too shocked, but the expression on Xia Zuo's face froze instantly.He Bo also realized what he said, hesitated for a while, then chuckled, looked into Xia Zuo's eyes and asked softly, "Is it not possible?"

"No...how could it be, of course, I'm very happy." Xia Zuo said so, narrowing his eyes with a smile, showing a satisfied and contented expression, emphasizing it again, saying, "I'm really happy. "

Yes, she was really happy about the fact that Heber was willing to let the child have the same surname as hers, and that the child would always know who he was when he was growing up.

Even though they may still be separated in the end, at this moment, Heber's thoughtfulness and kindness are enough to make her feel relieved.

Whatever the relationship, they will not deny the fact that they have raised two children together.They will bring up their children because of responsibility and love.Just as a mother, she has an obligation to her children.

As for the rest, go with your heart.

In this way, Xia Zuo's first two children decided on names so easily.As for her relationship with Heber, it is still uncertain as always.

Heber's body had a not too long recovery period after giving birth.Xia Zuo still went back and forth between home and the hospital, busy running for Heber's diet.I don't know if it's because of becoming a mother, the alpha who looked very immature at first seems to have matured a lot.

Of course, she was already very mature and steady, but she just looked immature.In view of this, Sang Xu has no objection to calling her by his name recently.It's just that maybe having a child is a bit more emotional, and recently she has always seen the young little duke crying.

Seeing my sister crying in the bathroom because of the pain, and watching the child cry, it seems like a different person to be sentimental.Of course, this is not the point. The point is that every time her eyes are red, her sister will make soothing moves.Especially when Xia Zuo was sitting by the bed with the child in his arms, his sister looked at her with red eyes and even touched the other's head.

I don't know why, but I always feel very uncomfortable.

Relying on being a duke with privileges, Xia Zuo discussed with Heber after the child's information was registered in the Federation, and registered the child's information in the place where they got married - Fort Sunderland.This matter was handed over to Amanda, the only insider around Xia Zuo.

Amanda, who knew for the first time that she was the general's mother, was so excited that she wanted to go to Haisong to celebrate, but after she calmed down, she thought that the child was not the general's, and she always felt very sad.

With mixed feelings, Amanda completed the task beautifully. After struggling for a while, she decided to choose gifts for the two babies, and was going to spend time in Haisong to celebrate her general.

Half a month later, the children were able to open their eyes gradually, and their hair became more noticeable. At this time, Heber also recovered and was discharged from the hospital and returned home.

After the two children returned home, they were raised by experienced nurses.Although Heber will also feed the children herself, for the sake of the children's nutrition, she cannot do this by herself.

After another week, the life of a new member in the family gradually got on the right track.Unexpectedly, Xia Zuo, who didn't seem to be useful, has become the main force in taking care of the children in the family during his previous studies and training during this period.

After all, he is a general, and he is very good at taking care of children.Following the doctor's instructions, Xia Zuo made a very strict schedule for eating, resting and playing for the children.

Although the rhythm is occasionally disrupted by children peeing their pants, it doesn't matter, as a general, there is always a way.After a period of time, Xia Zuo completely controlled the two little dolls in his family, allowing Heber to have a good rest during the recovery period.

After Heber recovered completely, there were two very well-behaved and quiet children in his arms.At this point, Sang Xu said that he began to appreciate his young husband a little bit.

Of course, only a little bit.
