Beast King's Crippled Mate-Chapter 296: Miraculous Birth
Chapter 296: Chapter 296: Miraculous Birth
Gale was teleported into the Goddess realm in an instant. The scent of the flowers, the fresh air, the always-sunny sky; they were all too beautiful to describe.
But he paid no attention to those things at all, because the moment he opened his eyes again, he saw his wife on a bed made out of flowers, writhing in pain as she was pushing the baby out with the help of two faceless angels.
Goddess Asmara opened her palm to constantly heal Swan’s body and lessen the pain, as she was currently giving birth to a child who would become the avatar of both Sun and Moon.
"SWAN!"
Gale rushed towards Swan, and the latter quickly turned her head when she heard her husband’s voice.
Unfortunately, she was too weak to call his name. All she did was stare at him while stretching her hand, trying to reach him.
Gale grabbed Swan’s hand and kissed it immediately to inhale her scent, "I’m here! Swan. Wife! I’m here!"
Swan began to shed tears of joy as she could finally meet her husband again. She regretted hesitating over him before she was in labor.
Swan was scared that she wouldn’t be able to appease her anger when she met Gale again, but after experiencing such pain of giving birth, all she could think of was how good it would feel to have Gale by her side.
Gale kneeled next to the flower bed, fervently kissing Swan’s hand, and wiped the sweat on her head. He knew that Swan was in pain, so he held off his urge to hug her. He didn’t want to put her in too much emotional distress.
"Calm down, Sweetheart. You can do this. I know you can."
Swan nodded weakly and screamed again as she tried to push the baby out.
Selene joined her sister to strengthen Swan’s body. They knew it was too painful—in fact, it would have been impossible for Swan to survive this labor had it not been for her to stay in this Goddess Realm with both Goddess sustaining her life.
Gale was unable to endure hearing the scream that Swan made. He looked at the Goddesses and asked politely, "Goddess, please make my wife’s labor easier. She is in too much pain!"
"We’re trying our best, little wolf. The birth of your cub is a miracle because it is not supposed to happen," Selene replied. "Your offspring will have the miracle of both the Sun and the Moon."
"At least she’s not in the earth realm. She will die during labor with her baby if she gives birth there," Asmara added. "We are sustaining her life, but it’s up to Swan if she wants to give birth to her offspring or not."
Gale turned his head towards Swan and held her hand tight. He was silent out of a dilemma because he didn’t know what to say. Should he tell Swan to give the baby up because she was in so much pain?
Or should he tell her to endure the pain and push the baby out?
However, before he could say anything, Swan yelled, "I will give birth to my son!"
"Wife..."
Swan was reminded of her love with Gale, and though they were separated before, their baby was the proof of their love, and also the proof that she was truly capable of having a real family. Before all of this happened, Swan always thought that she didn’t deserve to have a family, so she took herself out, hoping that Gale and their son would be happy without her.
Now that she was on the brink of death while giving birth, she realized that she was very, very selfish.
She wanted to be included in the family picture.
She wanted to be a good wife for Gale, and also a good mother for their cub.
She also wanted to be a capable woman who could do anything she wanted without being confined in a small room.
She wanted to be happy with her husband and son!
"Just a little more, Swan!" Selene said.
"Push, dear! Push!" Asmara added.
Gale saw that her wife was gritting her teeth before screaming while pushing as hard as she could.
"AHHHHHH!!"
"Wahhh! Waaaah!"
Swan felt like her soul was being pulled out of her body before everything looked hazy. She could hear her baby son’s first cries and smiled while closing her eyes.
Swan lost consciousness after that.
"Swan? Swan! Goddess, what’s wrong with my wife?!" Gale panicked as Swan had fainted.
"Relax, little wolf, she is just tired," Selene replied. "She will have to rest for a while because she just gave birth to a miracle. Why don’t you see your son first."
Asmara took the baby from the faceless angels. The baby was surrounded by bright light that made it impossible for Gale to see him, but Asmara helped by absorbing the light, making the baby visible for Gale to see.
Gale stood up as Asmara walked towards him with his baby.
"You can carry him for a moment," Asmara said as she carefully handed the baby to him.
Gale carried his baby in a daze. The baby was still crying loudly, but Gale knew it was his son instantly, because of his black wolf ears and tails that were very similar to his.
Gale couldn’t help but smile. He turned to his wife who was still sleeping, and talked to the sleeping Swan, "Wife, look at him. He looks like me!"
"I’ve told you before that I’ve prepared a few names for him, but I need your opinion first. So please, wake up, and let’s take care of our baby together, alright?" Gale gently put their son in Swan’s embrace and kissed her lips softly.
Gale turned around to face the Goddesses and asked, "Goddess, can I stay with my wife for a while? At least until she wakes up."
Goddess Asmara and Selene looked at each other and nodded in unison. They aimed their palm at him and said;
"You have to leave now, little wolf."
"But, I haven’t talked to Swan enough—"
"This is the only way to keep her safe from the incoming danger. Trust us."
The Goddesses used their power and pushed Gale out of the Goddess realm.
