There was a single tear rolling down the older's cheek as he bit on his lip to suppress a sob escaping.
"It hurts so much.."
"I know baby, I'm so sorry.. Should I call the hospital again? Your contractions are getting stronger, right?"
Chan nodded softly and leaned into the gentle touch when his boyfriend cupped his cheek.
"I'll be back in a minute, okay? I hope we can reach Dr Yu first try this time."
For some reason it had already taken forever to reach the hospital the first time, the receptionist had given the barista a different number for the maternity ward but even there it had taken three tries for someone to answer.
And only the responsible doctor could decide when it was time.
"Hey bub.. You're taking your sweet time, huh? But why.. Urgh.. Does it hurt so fucking much-"
The ravenette bit on his hand to suppress a scream when another strong contraction made him curl up in the tub.
And just then he realized that this one felt different.
Really different.
"Lixie.. Lixie!"
But there was no answer, Chan could only hear the faint voice of his boyfriend insulting probably the beep tone that told him the user is currently not available.
"Oh no, this isn't.."
The next contraction shortly followed, making the ravenette cry out, especially when he felt a sudden uncomfortable burning sensation in his lower body.
"Oh my god.. Lixie!"
It took three more hysteric and pained screams for the freckled boy until he was back in the bathroom with his phone in his hands, the doctor finally on the other side.
"I'm here, Dr Yu answered!"
"It's…it's too late"
Chan cried out as he held onto his knees and buried his nails in his skin.
"W-what?"
And it was only then when he noticed how his boyfriend's baby was actually half born already.
"Lixie.. The.."
"The stuff! Towels, scissors, a string.. My phone! I need to call an ambulance.."
"Lixie, now!"
Felix flinched at the sudden scream and immediately ran over to the storage room to get everything they needed.
Nothing in him had been prepared for that at all.
Neither of them had imagined that this special day would turn out like this.
His heart was pounding rapidly in his chest as the pink-haired boy got everything he thought they'd need and the longer he heard his boyfriend's cries and screams while not being by his side, the bigger was the stress he was feeling.
"Lixie…"
"I'm here, almost… here"
But the freckled boy stopped in the middle of the room when it suddenly got quiet.
"Channie?"
No screams, no cries, there was only a soft sniffling.
And when Felix reached the bathroom again, he couldn't help but sob softly as well.
"Oh my gosh.."
There was a tiny red baby laying on Chan's chest, looking so small with their mommy's big hand rubbing their back.
The ravenette looked up at his boyfriend with tears in his eyes, the widest smile Felix had ever seen on his face.
"Lixie..
..It's a boy."
He didn't really look like Chan.
Not at all, he only had those adorable dimples on his cute soft baby cheeks.
He just looked like himself, he was a cute tiny baby and his parents were so in love with him.
"How can you be so cute? You're just sleeping? Lixie, why is he so adorable?"
The ravenette smiled down at his son sleeping on his chest and gently ran his finger over one of those tiny black curls.
Yeah, he had curly hair like his mommy and Felix was dying inside every time he touched this cute soft fluff.
"He's your baby, of course he's adorable. And you're really cute too when you sleep"
The freckled boy smiled and placed a soft kiss on his boyfriend's cheek before he rested his head back on the older's shoulder so he could watch their son sleeping.
He looked so tiny and absolutely comfy, his cheek squished on his mom's chest and his tiny fingers wrapped around his daddy's finger as he slept so peacefully.
"But he's the cutest, undoubtedly"
Chan smiled and placed a long kiss on top of his son's head.
"One hundred percent."
