Chapter 19 (1/2)

Hand of G.o.d Liliana 4

Okaasama has gone into labour.

I am doing things like rubbing Okaasama’s lower back according to the labour pains, wiping her sweat off, rehydrating her, and staying at her side.

Of course, the bed’s sheets are all sanitary and prepared perfectly for Okaasama to lie in bed.

Otousama is holding Okaasama’s hand and talking to her to give her peace of mind

Of course, the healer; Reone-san is also in the room.

The position of the baby, Reone-san’s has confirmed by hand echo.

The twins are usually, both of the 2 heads are down, I thought it was ok, their 2 heads where in the proper position.

When the feet are positioned down, it would be difficult to give birth when the feet are down.

After that, 1 baby comes out, I see the other has been brought into position in the birth ca.n.a.l, it was put in good position.

Both look healthy.

「Okaasama, breathe in a hi, hi, fuu pattern!! Don’t be tense, please stay calm」

The legendary Lamaze Method.

「Because your breathing is good, take a deep breath. Abdominal breathing. And, when the baby’s head comes out, short breath of hah hah ha! Please don’t forget it, Okaasama!!」

「I, I understand. Liliana-chan, Okaasama will do her best!!」

The long night starts, as baby’s cries resound late past dusk.

「Thank You Alice, for these two precious new family members」

Otousama, gives words of appreciation to Okaasama.

「Thank You, Lewis. My lovely children?」

Otousama gives a soft and gentle smile.

「Madame, congratulations on giving birth. To two children of n.o.ble blood.」

Reone-san brings the, now bathed twins, to Okaasama, who embraces the two babies closely to her breast.

「Our Angels, a lovely boy and a lovely girl」

That’s so.

The twins, are a boy and a girl.

In other words, I have a younger brother and a younger sister.

Those two, begin to calm and sleep peacefully on Okaasama’s b.r.e.a.s.t.s.

「Okaasama, thank you very much. And, thank you for the lovely younger siblings」

Really, they look wrinkled like monkeys, but the Anebaka¹-filter shows the two as cuter than anything.

The boy who was born first, inherited Okaasama’s silver hair, the left eye is Otousama’s amethyst color, and the right eye is Okaasama’s amber color.

The girl who was born after, inherited Otousama’s gold colored hair, the left eye is Okaasama’s amber color, and the right is Otousama’s amethyst color.

Both, have mismatched eye colors.

First time I’ve seen that, it’s amazingly intense.

However, both born with evenly divided colors of their parents.

Though I also have my parents colours, because their colours are evenly distributed, I feel a sense of alienation.

Still, the endearing feeling of love isn’t shaken.

「Because their twins, I thought it would be a difficult delivery, but because it wasn’t the first pregnancy, it did not take as much time as expected」

「Well, Reone. The time, I think when Liliana was born, was much more serious」

What? Me??

「Liliana-chan, you weren’t born easily, you didn’t cry, and the color of your skin was getting gradually worse too」

Eh, then that means that……From the moment I was born, my life was in danger?

「Reone, without giving up, lifted Liliana-chan upside down,pat you, and removed the mucus from your nose and mouth.」

When I think about it, I don’t have any memories of that day.

In other words, my life really was in danger.

「At that time, you felt more dead than alive. When you safely gave your first cry, I cried as well」

I excessively worried you, Otousama.

Thanks to Reone-san’s hard work, I’m alive now.

I can’t thank you enough.

「That night Liliana was born. The moment when the young lady gave her first cry, I remember a miracle happening」

「Yes, of course. A lot of stars in the sky fell, it was beautiful as if the world was blessing the arrival of Liliana」

Wow, romantic.

The day when I was born, it was a day of a meteor shower.

I want to see it.

「Though I wanted Liliana-chan to see it, but after your crying you fell asleep. Then Liliana-chan, it was like the first day was a lie, and you cried every day」

Okaasama while gently patting the twins, is looking far away as if recalling that day.

「Th, that’s right.」

I feel like I remember.

I still couldn’t accept the reality, so I cried, the time when I still rejected the world.

Ugh…… Please don’t mention this dark history.

Mainly, for my own sanity.

「Otousama, Okaasama, have you decided the names for those two?」

To quickly divert the topic, I asked what was on my mind.

After all, humans have a hard time calling people without names.

「Ah, after much debate, we have decided on their names already.」

And those names are?

I unintentionally gulped.

「The boy’s name will be Radius. The girl’s name will be Leticia」

「It’s Radi-kun and Leti-chan.」

When Otousama and Okaasama said so, it felt like Radi and Leti laughed in their peaceful sleep.

The first present from a parent to a child is their name.

Both of them received it with joy.

「Nice to meet you, cute, cute Leticia and Radius. I’m your two, older sister Liliana」

What shall I do.

I’m so happy, I feel like I’m melting.

Okaasama’s postpartum bowel movements are fine too, and on a later day, Radi-kun and Leti-chan’s congrats party was held.

Everyone is treated with enough cuisine to make up for the amount of time we spent holding back and eating sodium-restricted foods.

People from the surrounding villages have also gathered around, unrestrictedly indulging themselves.

Mina-chan also comes, and celebrates with a ‘congratulations’ as well.

Mina-chan, seemed to like the fried food.

Sirius-sensei says he’s not good with groups of people like these, and is unfortunately not partic.i.p.ating.

Well, I can’t really imagine Sirius-sensei cheering with everyone else, and so it is like him, I guess.

The party started at noon, even though it’s night out now, it doesn’t seem like it will settle down any time soon.

Even though it such a wild party, one person is not the same as usual.
