KINGS

Please push Mrs. King, you are doing great. Just three more pushes and you can rest. Nurse Nora was encouraging my wife to keep pushing. She is doing an admirable job. Her voice so soothing, caring and motherly.

Ahhhhhh.... My wife tried pushing again, she looks like she is about to faint. I can't.... Am sorry I can't, am too tired. Please let me rest. My wife pleads.

"Mrs. King please just think about the bundle of happiness after this, this is worth every pain and agony. I promise you that you will be the happiest of all mothers. You will not even remember the pain. I beg you just push some more ok."

Come on!!!!

Nurse Nora is a wonderful woman, she is in her early thirties with chubby cheeks and she is about very devoted to her job. She is among one of the few humans I have working for me. She loves my wife and has been taking care of her from the beginning of this pregnancy.

My wife and I told her we didn't want to know the gender of the child until birth. It's like faith was listening to us because we are now in for the biggest surprise. This is the third child that my wife is now push out. I felt emotionally scared and tired for my wife. This is not what we expected at all. She has lost so much blood and she is completely pale. Her raven black hair is all over the place especially around her neck, I hope it's not choking her slowly.

This started six days ago, she has been in labor for six days now. she started have small contractions and we thought that she was ready, unfortunately we got send home so many times because she was not ready. She was in so much pain and she refused the epidural. I didn't know what to do.

I told Nurse Nora to give her the epidural and she told me she can't go against my wife. That it was her choice to take the epidural or not. Admittedly, I some how knew the epidural wouldn't work because of my genetic make-up but I wanted to help in anyway to make my wife comfortable so I became furious at Nora. Did this nurse forget that I am the husband and also have a say in what or what not my wife needs?

"Am going to kill you," I told Nurse Nora. Forgetting all her caring and motherly nature. "If anything happens to my wife I will make you watch your loved ones getting drained by me. I will make you you wish for death in the worst possible way. I felt my eyes shifting to its original form. I will feed your bones to the dogs. I will tear you up and strangle you with your guts. I swear to you."

"And this is my hospital, So if you don't do what I say........"

I let my words trill of so she would know what will happen. I will fire her and make the rest of her human life unbearable.

She was looking at me with so much fear. Her eyes were whild with dread. I did not care that it was my wife's wish. My beloved was in pain that was all I cared about.

"Give her the FUCKING epidural." I roared in her face and she ran out. as quickly as possible. Yelling that my wife have to approve. That she is sorry.

I must say I admire nurse Nora's courage to obey my wife and defy me. I respect her for that.

When nurse Nora finally came back in with hesitant steps, making sure I was as far away from her as possible she told us that my wife is now fully dilated. i was glad and calmed down significantly. I assumed she was going to just give two or three pushes and all will be over. However, I guess I was wrong about that because she has not stopped pushing since we got here.

Nevaeh, body is shaking with subs and tiredness and here I am uselessly standing by, being of no help at all. I was completely powerless. What's the use of being a King when you can't exercise power or strength when its needed.

All I did was hold her hand while she sufferes to bring our children into this world. I wanted to do more, my beautiful wife looks like she has given up completely to exhaustion, while the last baby is still breached inside her. She has sweat and tears all over her face. This is really painful. I feel so awful right now, is this what women really go through?

Today, I fully comprehend what my late father said to me.

Never take a man's life without any justification. Because the beginning and the birth of life is always unbearable.

I looked at her face again, I don't have the heart to tell her to push, she has done enough already.

This pregnancy was not planned at all, we wanted more time to ourselves, However, we accepted it when we found out we were going to be parents.

My thoughts were interrupted by the heart monitor beeping crazily. My wife was slipping away.

Mr. King!!, screamed nurse Nora. "You have to talk to your wife or we may have to give her a C Section and why are you standing there holding her hands and doing nothing. You should be encouraging and praising her, do you think pushing out three babies is an easy job"?

Nora yelled at me and I hissed at her in return. How dare she point out that I am not being of help to my wife eventhough am not being helpful. I will take the pain away if I could. My wife is my beloved, treasure, inspiration, mate and joy. She is my eternity.

I looked upon my wife's half closed lids, her monitor is still beeping. I pressed my forehead to her's and talked so that only her can hear.

"Please love, you can do this. You have defeated all odd so many times. You've risen like a Phoenix everytime you conquered."

I kissed her forehead, willing her to keep her eyes open. I kissed her eyes again. She is very sweaty.

"You stronger than you give yourself credit for. You can do this because this is who and what you are, an overcomer. I love you so dearly. So please, just few more pushes ok. f

Please don't give up now. You are giving us three bundles of joy. You will be our lifeline and talisman. You can do this baby, come on, just two or three more push.

She opened her tied obsidian eyes and looked at nurse Nora and I nodded indicating that she is ready.

Ooookay, she chocked on her words.

By the count of three Mrs. King I want to big push ok?

Nevaeh nodded again.

Ok, less do this... 1...2...3 give me a big push and Nevaeh let it all out, screaming at the top of her lungs. I was drowning from her screams. I was also giving her words of encouragement, telling her she was wonderful and doing great. I kissed her sweaty forehead over and again.

Oh!!! Oh!! Nurse Nora said

Oh My God!!!

And I panicked.

What is it?

Is something wrong with the baby? Is there another baby? Is the baby deformed?

"WHAT IS IT?"

I was growling and hissing at this point. I don't want my wife worried, she has been through enough.

"The baby is out, Nurse Nora announced happily."

I turned back around to give my wife the good news but her lids were already closed. My wife has fainted.

I spent some minutes wiping her face and pushing her hair back when I realized something.

The first two babies made fussing sounds when they came out, why is this one quit? The baby is not fussing or making noises.

"Nurse Nora I called, as I saw her pulling the placenta out of my wife and inspected it. She nodded, telling the other nurses that the placenta is fine and also they should clean my wife up and also give her blood and an IV.

"Yes Mr. King, I want to assure you that your wife is going to be fine. She just needs good amount of rest, blood, and fluids. I promise I will take good care of her."

I must say that was very reassuring. I was happy to hear that my wife will be fine but there is another matter I must address.

Nurse, i called again. I want to ask you about........

I was cut off again by Nora, which unfortunately for her got me angry. I don't like being cut off. Only Nevaeh has the right to do that.

"Sir I promise, she will be fine. She has just been through alot these pass days and bringing triplets into the world is no joke. We will nourish her back to health for you and the babies."

She went on to clean the third baby.

ARE YOU LISTENING TO ME?!!

GIVE HER A SLAP (Aro)

Yes sir, I am. Am... sorry.

"What is it that you want to know Sir?"

I noticed that nurse Nora has gotten scared.

"Why is the baby not fussing or making sounds? The others did."

I said matter of factly.

Oh. oh that.. well, there is nothing wrong with the baby, some babies fuss and others don't. Its completely normal, she said. But if you want a reaction then..... nurse Nora moved over to were the baby was, picked the baby up and I heard the sound of a ..SMACK ?? WHAT THE FUCK ? Did she... did she just hit my child?

GIVE HER DOUBLE SLAP (Aro)

I was pissed, my beast was beyond pissed.

"ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND?" I felt my eyes shifting to its original form. Nurse Nora took a step back and swallowed hard.

:YOU DARE HIT MY CHILD?"

"Am.... am so so sorry sir, I seriously thought you wanted the baby to cry. Is she intentionally being stupid or is she really stupid.

"Why will I want you to hit my child?"

But what puzzled me most is that, the child that am arguing for has still not made a sound yet. It's like that smack never happened.

Am truly sorry Sir, forgive me. She looked truly scared and I don't want her to be. She has been very good to Nevaeh. I tried to calm myself down. Don't do it aging. I told her seriously.

Never. was her quick reply.

I watched as she quickly walked to the table with few of the nurses following suit. I still had my hands in my wife's. I looked at her face and she is not peacefully asleep. She is in pain.

A brown skinned woman came in and gave me a small smile.

Mr. King she called, I tore my eyes away from my wife and looked at her, "would you like to visit the babies while we help your wife". This was a statement not a question.

"Your kids are beautiful she added." You should go see them. I must say am happy for both of you.

I don't know if that was a compliment or flattery.

I didn't want to leave my wife, but I want to see our babies and my wife needs all the help she can get. I sighed in frustration. I will be back my Love. I whispered in her ears. Hoping she can hear me and gave her a kiss on her lips. Thank you for everything, I love you so very much. Please wakeup soon and join us.

With that said I walked out, pausing at the door to take a look at my wife ones more and reluctantly left the room.

I instantly smelled my children, they were mixed with mine and Nevaeh's sent. I loved it. My legs were moving faster than my brain to see what Nevaeh and I mad together.

Am going to welcome my children into a new life.
