Second Marriage: My Strongest Bodyguard

"Mommy said, this is the risk. Caesarean section is more painful and the healing process will take a long time," said Monica, occasionally feeling intense heartburn in her belly area.

"But this also looks very painful. You\'ve been like this for five hours and our baby hasn\'t been born yet," Raymond said angrily. he rubbed Monica\'s forehead which was slightly damp from sweaty.

"It\'s just heartburn and heartburn....." Monica curled up even more clutching her belly. "Looks like... Going out now!"

"Really?" Raymond panicked.

Doctors and midwives who were on standby approached Monica and guided her to position her body on her back with her thighs exposed but covered with a blanket.

"Ahswww it hurts so bad!"

"Hold your husband\'s hand and don\'t close your eyes when you push," exclaimed the Doctor, who was a female doctor who wore a white-green dress complete with gloves and a mask. So did the other two midwives wearing the same clothes.

Monica nodded, Raymond held Monica\'s left hand.

"Inhale ... And exhale slowly and then push," the doctor advised.

"It hurts ...!" Monica was getting restless. She tried to follow the doctor\'s directions by holding Raymond\'s hand tightly while her right hand held on to the immediately wrinkled sheet. "Oh my God, I can\'t!"

Monica was almost in tears. Pain and heartburn became one, even the whole room felt hot. "It hurts... Huff!"

"You have to be strong, honey... You can do it!" Raymond exclaimed with a sad look at Monica. He wiped his wife\'s forehead with a tissue.

"Come on, ma\'am, try slowly, you can... Everyone gives birth like this..you can do it," exclaimed the midwife who helped press Monica\'s belly carefully according to the guide.

Monica was feeling very sick again. She held Raymond\'s hand so tightly. She followed the guidance of doctors and midwives who helped press her belly, she even screamed until she tried several times and finally heard the sound of a baby crying so loudly.

Raymond heaved a sigh of relief and looked at his newborn baby still there was blood on several areas of the body. suddenly he felt weak with nausea and dizziness that hit him suddenly fell to the floor.

"Gosh, your husband passed out!" The midwife panicked looking at Raymond who was lying on the floor, while the other midwives were still focused on the newborn baby, which had to be cleaned immediately and cut the umbilical cord in a special place.

Monica who was limp glanced at Raymond who had fainted. She looks so resigned as she feels the doctor is cleaning the blood in her uterus with a tool. The woman barely cared about the pain anymore when she saw her baby crying and being cleaned by the midwife, then dressed.

Until a moment Raymond came back to his senses. He felt very nauseous in his stomach. One of the midwives immediately put a stainless container next to Raymond\'s head, just in case he was about to vomit.

Monica glanced at the floor where Raymond was still lying somewhat. ."Are you all right, honey?"

"Yes, I\'m okay." Raymond tried to get up and avoided seeing the blood on Monica\'s lower body.

The doctors and midwives in the room chuckled seeing Raymond who was very weak while it was Monica who gave birth.

"Sorry, I just can\'t stand to see the blood around her body," said Raymond, who was back on his feet and approached Monica.

"I\'m the one in pain, you\'re the one who fainted," Monica whispered with a smile.

"I don\'t know... But, does it still hurt now?" Raymond asked worriedly. he took a tissue to wipe the forehead up to Monica\'s sweaty temples.

"Yes. After this you can\'t ask for rations for a few months," Monica answered very quietly.

Raymond fell silent for a moment, swallowing his saliva. He felt that he had to hold on to his lust for a very long time. "I am not sure."

"Must be sure."

The doctor who had finished treating Monica again changed the blanket for Monica with a new blanket. The midwife also gave a newborn baby and had been dressed in special clothes to Raymond.

"She is beautiful, just like her mother," said the midwife.

Raymond immediately held the baby girl who had just been born to his wife, then smiled at her. "Hi princess... Now, Daddy will call you Madeline."

"Madeline?"

"Yes. Madeline Loraine Darlene. There\'s your name and mine." Raymond kissed the baby, inhaling its natural and fragrant aroma as if to make his nausea suddenly disappear.

"It\'s a beautiful name. I want to see it up close," said Monica.

Raymond immediately put Madeline next to Monica carefully. "Look...She is very beautiful as you," he said.

"I think she looks like Bryana," said Monica, looking at her baby girl who did have eyes like Bryana\'s.

"That\'s only natural since she is her aunty." Raymond turned to look at Monica intensely and kissed her forehead. ."You are so great. You gave me the perfect daughter."

"I\'m strong because you\'re always by my side....even after you fainted." Monica chuckled again remembering Raymond who suddenly fell to the floor.

"Oh my… I was so relieved earlier but….I\'m too amused to see the amount of blood on her body," said Raymond with a shy smile. He kissed his baby again, which had a baby scent, it was so intoxicating that he wanted to kiss it again and again.

"Now she\'s clean and you kiss her constantly..she can get sick," Monica said.

"Because I love her."

"Have you tell Bryana?" Monica asked, stroking Madeline\'s soft cheek. She remembered that Bryana and Dean desperately wanted a baby girl.

"When I called they were on their way, mom and the others were also on their way here," Raymond replied. He and Monica had agreed to tell the family not from the start because they didn\'t want to worry them.

When the time showed 10:30, Bryana and Dean had arrived at one of the famous hospitals in Bandung.

They immediately got out of the car and walked towards the main door of the hospital, followed by Dinda who was carrying Aidyn.

Dean walked over while calling Raymond.

"Hello, Raymond. Which room is Monica in?"

"VVIP number 205," Raymond answered over the phone.

"Has your child been born yet?"

"Yes. She is breastfeeding for the first time."

"Wow. Congratulations. You finally have a princess. Must be similar to Monica," Dean muttered as he continued walking.

"No, she looks like Bryana."

Dean chuckled and glanced at Bryana. "Raymond says his daughter looks like you."

"Ah, I can\'t wait to see it." Bryana is getting excited. She walked faster down the hospital corridor, which was black and white with orange lights.
