Ex-Husband's Regret

Chapter 0531

"It's okay, Lilly-Bear. I'm just about to have the baby... Remember what I told you will happen when it's time?"

She nods her head. "Yes. You said you'd be in pain, but I shouldn't worry because that's part of bringing the baby into the world."

"Good," I wince as another contraction hits me. "That's what's happening right now, so don't be afraid."

Gabriel grabs my hand and helps me out of the room. I breathe through my nose and out of my mouth, but let's be honest. That doesn't really help. Does it?

"I just don't understand. Why do you have to be in pain? Why can't the baby just come out of you without causing you pain?"

The last thing I want is to traumatize my daughter by explaining to her that the pain is necessary for pushing the baby out of me. She'll want to know why the baby needs to be pushed out, and I'll have to explain it's because the baby is big and my passage is smaller, so those contractions are needed to push the baby out. Then she'll want to know what passage that is, and I'll have to tell her that a baby comes out through the vajayjay.

As you can see, that is not a conversation she's ready for. She'll be traumatized when she learns how a baby really comes into the world.
