Then suddenly...
"Aaaa... aaaa... aaaaawaaaaa!"
A baby's cry rang out through the delivery room.
The sound was loud and clear, filling the room that had been tense only moments earlier.
Bella's exhausted body finally relaxed slightly against the bed. Her chest was rising and falling rapidly, her face completely covered in sweat and several strands of her messy hair were stuck against her forehead and cheeks.
She looked completely drained but the moment she heard that tiny cry, her tired eyes slowly opened.
Her baby.
The midwife carefully lifted the newborn into her arms, supporting the tiny head before looking down at the little face.
The baby's face was wrinkled, his tiny eyes squeezed shut as he cried loudly, his little hands moving around helplessly.
"Congratulations, it's a baby boy," the midwife said with a warm smile.
Bella's eyes immediately filled with tears. She wanted to see her baby properly.
She wanted to reach out and touch him.
