Abigail’s Second Life (Abigail and Sean)

The passage of time was swift, and Abigail found herself approaching her expected delivery date. She spent each day at the hospital, engaging in binge-watching sessions to alleviate the passing of time. One morning, Sean prepared breakfast for Abigail.

Upon turning on the TV, Abigail sat up in bed, intending to resume watching the show she had paused the previous day. However, she was abruptly overwhelmed with a sharp pain in her stomach, causing her to cry out.

Sean hurriedly exited the kitchen.

Abigail reclined on the bed, extending her hand toward him. "My water broke!"

"Let me call the doctor." He hastened over, clutching Abigail's hand and pushing the call button for medical assistance.

News circulated that Abigail was entering labor, prompting the arrival of the Pearsons' family members. Both Colby and Lina arrived at the hospital to await.

However, the most anxious individual was Sean.

It had been three hours since the doctor entered the delivery room.

"It's too long!" Luna grasped Josh's hand, her forehead creased with concern.

"Is the baby too big for her to have a natural birth?" Lina fretted in anxiousness. She even tapped her foot nervously.

Sean was pallor in complexion. His hands, coated in a layer of perspiration, slightly trembled, too.

"Things will be okay. Don't worry." Lawrence gave Sean a pat on the shoulder. "As a man, you're expected to support her, you know."

"I know," Sean responded in a soft tone. He believed that the baby's size would make the process of childbirth agonizing for her.

As soon as Sean finished speaking, the doctor promptly appeared from the delivery room. "The infant's size necessitates a Cesarean section, per my recommendation."

"How is she?" Sean promptly advanced, his voice quivering slightly with apprehension.

"It's not as agonizing to have a childbirth nowadays. She had an epidural and tried her best to deliver the child to no avail. That's why I wanted to discuss the next steps with you," the doctor informed. Sean experienced a sense of relief. "Let's go with your recommendation."

I already noticed that Abigail's abdominal size is larger than that of a typical pregnant woman, leading me to anticipate potential complications during delivery. Yet, during the check-up, the doctor said nothing about any issues. She'd only need a day of recovery for childbirth, but it'd be a much longer period for a Cesarean section.

Abigail was then moved from the operating theater to the ward after the delivery.

Sean and Scarlett remained in the ward with her while the rest of them went to pay the newborn a visit.

"Why don't you visit the baby? The extent of his adiposity is unknown, which caused her to suffer so much pain." Scarlett was seated at the bedside, organizing food items while conversing with Sean. Sean shook his head. "I'll leave once she's woken up."

"Then, let me whip up something for you," Scarlett commented. "You were so busy the entire morning that you haven't eaten."

Sean grasped Abigail's hand, his heart constantly filled with apprehension.

Abigail awoke in the middle of the night, experiencing intense hunger but could not consume any food.

"Is the wound causing pain?" Sean softly inquired of her.

She shook her head. "I'm starving."

"You can have your meal later. If the wound's causing you pain, let me know so that I can get the painkillers from the doctor." He was concerned about her enduring even the slightest discomfort. S

"It's not painful." Do you want to rest for a while?" Abigail felt that they were at an advantage because they were wealthy. She did not endure After

any pain during childbirth endure

receiving an epidural and

anesthesia, her Cesarean section

was pain-free.

"Nah. I'll be with you until dawn. Mom will be here to take care of you while I get my rest," Sean stated, gesturing toward the baby beside her.

The child had recently entered the world, displaying a slightly reddish complexion and having a size that was diminutive.

Abigail chucked as she gazed at the baby. "Why isn't he fair-skinned? He's not attractive."

Sean was about to answer her when the infant whimpered and began to burst into tears. "The kid cried his lungs out when he was delivered. It gave me such a headache," he elaborated.

With a smile, she slightly adjusted her posture. "He seems hungry. I'll feed him. Are you disappointed that it's not a girl?"

"A boy's fine. Given the baby's weight, I had already expected it to be a boy." Sean assisted her into a sitting position.

Abigail cradled the baby. "He was about ten pounds, right?"

"Give or take. He's one of the heaviest newborns in this hospital," he replied.

She lowered her gaze and asked, "Did they give him a check-up? I heard babies weighing more than eight pounds are likely to be chubby."

"That's just one hypothesis. Heavier babies tend to be taller as well," Sean reassured.

Feeling relieved, Abigail then

encouraged the baby to nurse. Once she was done nursing the child, she gave a soft sigh. "He didn't eat enough. What can I do to deal with the engorgement?"

She had consistently experienced this issue before giving birth.

Sean draped a blanket over the baby and softly asked, "I will retrieve a bottle, and you'll pump. Would that work?"

"I'll let you help me." Abigail was reluctant to move.

He raised an eyebrow. "Me helping you?"

"I mean, help me to pump. What thoughts did you have?" Her complexion flushed with color.

Sean walked to her side and offered assistance by stating, "If you want me to help, I surely could since I've had prior experience."

"I'm just not sure if he's had his fill. So, stop spewing nonsense." Abigail felt like she was burning up.

"Take a seat. I'll sort it out for you." Sean was seated at the bedside, holding a bottle with a gentle smile. Once he was done, he yawned.

She remained seated for a while as her wound left her with visceral pain, prompting her to call Sean over.

Following a call to the doctor to administer pain relief, Sean encouraged her to rest.

After being the recipient of Sean's meticulous care for a week, Abigail was discharged. The chubby infant, however, still did not have a legal name.
