Gale was teleported into the Goddess realm in an instant. The scent of the flowers, the fresh air, the always-sunny sky; they were all too beautiful to describe.
But he paid no attention to those things at all, because the moment he opened his eyes again, he saw his wife on a bed made out of flowers, writhing in pain as she was pushing the baby out with the help of two faceless angels.
Goddess Asmara opened her palm to constantly heal Swan’s body and lessen the pain, as she was currently giving birth to a child who would become the avatar of both Sun and Moon.
"SWAN!"
Gale rushed towards Swan, and the latter quickly turned her head when she heard her husband’s voice.
Unfortunately, she was too weak to call his name. All she did was stare at him while stretching her hand, trying to reach him.
Gale grabbed Swan’s hand and kissed it immediately to inhale her scent, "I’m here! Swan. Wife! I’m here!"
Swan began to shed tears of joy as she could finally meet her husband again. She regretted hesitating over him before she was in labor.
Swan was scared that she wouldn’t be able to appease her anger when she met Gale again, but after experiencing such pain of giving birth, all she could think of was how good it would feel to have Gale by her side.
Gale kneeled next to the flower bed, fervently kissing Swan’s hand, and wiped the sweat on her head. He knew that Swan was in pain, so he held off his urge to hug her. He didn’t want to put her in too much emotional distress.
"Calm down, Sweetheart. You can do this. I know you can."
Swan nodded weakly and screamed again as she tried to push the baby out.
Selene joined her sister to strengthen Swan’s body. They knew it was too painful—in fact, it would have been impossible for Swan to survive this labor had it not been for her to stay in this Goddess Realm with both Goddess sustaining her life.
Gale was unable to endure hearing the scream that Swan made. He looked at the Goddesses and asked politely, "Goddess, please make my wife’s labor easier. She is in too much pain!"
"We’re trying our best, little wolf. The birth of your cub is a miracle because it is not supposed to happen," Selene replied. "Your offspring will have the miracle of both the Sun and the Moon."
"At least she’s not in the earth realm. She will die during labor with her baby if she gives birth there," Asmara added. "We are sustaining her life, but it’s up to Swan if she wants to give birth to her offspring or not."
Gale turned his head towards Swan and held her hand tight. He was silent out of a dilemma because he didn’t know what to say. Should he tell Swan to give the baby up because she was in so much pain?
Or should he tell her to endure the pain and push the baby out?
However, before he could say anything, Swan yelled, "I will give birth to my son!"
"Wife..."
Swan was reminded of her love with Gale, and though they were separated before, their baby was the proof of their love, and also the proof that she was truly capable of having a real family. Before all of this happened, Swan always thought that she didn’t deserve to have a family, so she took herself out, hoping that Gale and their son would be happy without her.
Now that she was on the brink of death while giving birth, she realized that she was very, very selfish.
She wanted to be included in the family picture.
