"It's okay..." Raine said, as she tried to help Lilac to lean on the headboard of the bed, while Hope had dashed out of the room to call the Donovan brothers.
It didn't take very long before Raine and Lilac could hear some noises in the corridor, indicating that those lycans would be here in the matter of a few seconds.
And Kace arrived first, maybe because Hope found her mate first on her way to find Jedrek.
Kace appeared at the doorway, yet didn't continue to enter the room. He was too petrified to move. The memories when Hope was about to give birth to their children flooded his mind again and he remembered how panicked he had been at that time.
"It's early, " Lilac said, gritting her teeth to suppress her panic. Fear gripped her heart when the contractions came.
The healer said she would give birth two weeks from now, but the seal had already broken and Lilac couldn't help but think of the worst case scenario. She was afraid something would happen to her baby.
This was her first pregnancy, so maybe she did something wrong. Even though the healer had said that she and the baby were healthy, but Lilac started to wonder if she messed up somehow...
"It's okay Lilac, this is normal. Aurora came early for me too." Raine tried to assure her saying everything would be all right.
Meanwhile, it didn't take another second before Jedrek appeared. He shoved Kace aside rudely, and his younger brother stumbled on his feet, yet he didn't protest at all.
Only then Torak appeared with the kids. It was very surprising to see Torak getting along well with those kids and the little ones also listened to him.
Jedrek immediately bolted to lilac's bedside, where Raine took a step back, for the king to replace her spot.
Jedrek kneeled and stretched out his right hand before placing it on Lilac's thigh, and felt its getting soaked instantly.
"You will take her to the hospital, right? I will prepare a car, " Kace said as he stepped in the direction of the door, but Jedrek stopped him.
"No, she will give birth here, I have prepared everything. Call Clarice, the healer, she knows what she have to do." Jedrek didn't break eye contact with Lilac when he instructed them.
"Oh, got it." Kace ran toward the other side of this house while grumbling about how big this place was.
On the other hand, Torak didn't enter the room and stayed outside with the kids. He didn't let them see the chaotic situation inside.
"Uncle, what happen in there?" Selene stared at Torak with her big blue eyes, shifting her attention from Torak to the door of the room that was still opened, but she couldn't see anything from where she was standing now.
"The baby is coming, " Torak explained it plainly, while making Aurora sit on his thigh.
Meanwhile, the boys, Sean and Jasper were trying to sneak inside the room, but Hope caught them both and held their hands to keep them away from there.
Only then did Raine come out of the room and closed the door behind her. She sat beside Torak on the soft plush sofa and caressed Aurora's hair.
"How is it?" Torak asked. He still looked aloof, but one could hear the concern in his voice when he asked this. No matter what, Jedrek was his brother.
Raine thought about this for a moment and then smiled, the kind of mischievous smile that she always gave him when she wanted to tease him.
"He looked a lot more calm than you when I gave birth to Jasper, " Raine said, laughing and then kissing Torak's cheek when he growled in a low voice.
One minute after that, Kace came with the healer and another four people, who would help during the delivery. They brought some things with them and all the stuff that were needed later.
"He is very traditional, why don't he just take Lilac to the hospital?" Kace grumbled as he sat down beside Hope, who was trying to make the boys stay still, yet they were too curious to see what was happening behind the door."Stay still boys, " Kace said sternly.
"You know him, " Torak commented, but Kace sneered in response.
"No, I don't know him."
==============
"You are doing so well, " Jedrek whispered into Lilac's ears when the healer and the other people, who entered the room were preparing for the delivery.
They had prepared all of this as early as a month back, but who would have thought that Lilac would have it early, yet Jedrek was glad that he had thought about it ahead of time, as he wanted to have the baby here.
Lilac didn't have a problem at all with this, since she knew that Jedrek would do his best to provide everything that was necessary for this moment. Everything that was best for their child and her.
Lilac buried her face against Jedrek's neck when the people tried to get everything in order.
Jedrek caressed her warm stomach, as he moved slightly to hold lilac's gaze. Those black eyes were filled with determination and he felt himself swell with pride for his woman.
The healer knew that she wouldn't be able to make her king step aside, thus she let him be and accompany Lilac during the labour.
And Jedrek remained there for two hours straight. He stayed there from her first push to the very last, until fatigue washed over her expression and her bulging belly lost a significant amount of its roundness, when the baby slid out of her in a burst of squirming bloody mess.
In the next second, the baby screamed once he was being held by the healer, demanding the world to welcome him.
The moment Jedrek heard him scream, he couldn't find a single word to describe how he felt right now and this was the first time he moved away from Lilac to ensure that their baby was all right, then let them clean him.
"The baby is here, " Jedrek informed Lilac, his gaze held hers with proudness and love, as he kissed her temple.
Of course, Lilac knew it and that statement brought a big smile to her lips.
After this, everything happened very fast, and now their baby was lying across Lilac's breasts, shrilling, agitated, wrinkled, but extremely beautiful.
Jedrek wanted to carry him, but didn't want to separate him from Lilac yet. He had been waiting for this moment and practiced on how to carry a baby ever since he knew Lilac was going to have their first born soon.
Of course, no one knew about this except for the healer and his Beta, about which they wouldn't breath a single word out at all.
Therefore, the only solace that he could have was to let his fingers remain softly attached to one of the baby's astonishingly small feet, while Lilac simply stared at him.
Lilac stared at her baby with love and adoration. He was very small but precious and pure...
And Jedrek found himself falling deeply in love every time a squeal gushed out of his pouty lips, babbling. He leaned over and his tears fell on Lilac's cheek when he kissed her."I love you both..." he whispered solemnly.
