Queen Of My Heart (12 page)
Moving around in front of her, I took stock of the situation. Her little eyes were blood shot and tired and her body seemed wracked with pain, it was almost too much. Kissing her brow I knelt on the floor before her. “I will help you love.” My heart hurt at the fear I saw in her eyes. My brave, strong girl was in fear for her life. Vowing to never put her through this ordeal again I got to work getting my son to come into the world without causing his poor mother much more pain.
Reaching down beneath her, I pressed down on the mound of her stomach. Once again the midwife and her helping women started up their denials but I shushed them with a glare. “Get to work and help her.” The threat was heavy in the air as they understood that if anything went awry it could mean their heads.
“Look at me love, focus on my voice and do as I say. When I press down push, ready? Now Rhiannon.” She strained and screamed as she pushed with my hand pressing down on the child as it moved in her womb. “Again.” I kept it up for the next thirty minutes or so until with one last heave she forced the squalling babe from her body.
“Thank you sweet Rhian.” There was much movement as the women went about their duties of seeing to the babe. I hugged her close, blood and all and helped her to her back so that she could rest after her harrowing experience. “You did very well beauty.” She smiled weakly at me as I kissed her palm, but at least she was out of danger.
They shooed me out of the way so that they could clean her up and change the sheets from the bed.
“My lord, you have a son.” The midwife placed the little bundle in my arms and my heart squeezed as I looked down at my own face. “Hello little Cedric.” I kissed his forehead before placing him gently into his mother’s waiting arms.
