"Don't worry, my dear, we'll be at the hospital soon," Song Ying comforted, her hands trembling slightly.
In the cold winter, the impending arrival of a new life stirred the hearts of everyone. Along the way, they silently prayed for Lin Xiao Yu and her child to be safe and sound, hoping that the baby's cries would bring endless joy and hope to this big family, breaking the tense atmosphere and starting a new journey of happiness.
Once Lin Xiao Yu was taken into the delivery room, Lu Zean, Lin Wufeng, Song Ying, Lu Father, and Lu Qi anxiously waited outside. Lu Zean paced back and forth in the hallway, occasionally glancing at the delivery room door, his eyes revealing his nervousness and concern. Lin Wufeng and Lu Father sat on chairs with their hands tightly clasped together, brows furrowed as they silently prayed. Song Ying and Lu Qi fidgeted restlessly, sometimes comforting each other and sometimes leaning toward the delivery room door, trying to gauge the situation from any sounds coming from within.
Time passed slowly in the tense atmosphere; every minute felt incredibly long. The faint sounds from inside the delivery room made everyone's hearts race. Lu Zean rubbed his hands together repeatedly, beads of sweat forming on his forehead as he silently chanted in his heart: "Baby, you must be safe; you and your mother both."
Although Lin Wufeng tried hard to remain calm, his lips trembled slightly as memories of Lin Xiao Yu's childhood flooded back to him. He felt both anticipation and fear, murmuring to himself: "My dear daughter, you have to be strong; Daddy is right here waiting for you."
Song Ying's eyes were red as she tightly grasped Lu Qi's hand, her voice choked with emotion: "This child has always been afraid of pain; I can't help but worry about how she's doing in there. It breaks my heart." Lu Qi also had red-rimmed eyes as he reassured her: "Don't worry; with today's medical care, everything will be fine."
Just when everyone's nerves were at their peak, a loud cry suddenly echoed from the delivery room. Everyone froze for a moment before their faces broke into expressions of ecstatic joy. Lu Zean rushed to the delivery room door, eager to know what was happening inside. Lin Wufeng and Lu Father also stood up, tears shimmering in their eyes. Song Ying and Lu Qi embraced tightly, overwhelmed with happiness.
As the delivery room door slowly opened, everyone's hearts tightened. However, Lu Zean was the first to rush towards Lin Xiao Yu as she was wheeled out. His eyes were filled with concern as he tightly held her hand and asked with a trembling voice: "Honey, how are you? Are you still in pain?"
Lin Xiao Yu shook her head slightly, a tired yet happy smile on her face: "I'm fine; where's the baby?"
Only then did Lu Zean turn to look at the nurse holding their child, his eyes filled with joy and wonder at becoming a father for the first time. The nurse smiled and said: "It's a healthy baby boy named Zi An."
Upon hearing this, family members gathered around. Lu Father, Lu Qi, Lin Wufeng, and Song Ying all wore radiant smiles filled with happiness as tears of excitement sparkled in their eyes. Lu Father patted Lu Zean's shoulder and remarked: "Son, from today on, you're a dad now; you have to take on more responsibility!" Lin Wufeng leaned closer to examine the baby closely while murmuring: "This little guy is quite handsome; he resembles our Lu Zean when he was young."
Song Ying and Lu Qi surrounded Lin Xiao Yu, holding her hand and asking after her well-being: "My dear daughter, you've suffered so much; rest now. We'll take care of the baby together in the days to come."
The family basked in the joy of new life arriving, laughter echoing through the hospital corridors.
