Married to the Devil's Son novel Chapter 120

120 Chapter 60

Lucian had been both excited and worried for the last few days. Excited because his child was coming into this world soon and worried because he was afraid to lose his wife to childbirth. Hazel was the only thing that kept him happy and sane. He could not live without her. But last week she had been in so much pain and many times he thought she was about to give birth.

Not being able to do anything for her Lucian felt helpless.

"Don't worry. She won't die. She has demon blood in her veins now." His mother assured him when she noticed his concern.

Still, he didn't like to see Hazel suffer and many times she looked like she was going to die. Especially when he heard her screams on the day she was giving birth. _{freёwebnovel.com}

"Your Majesty. It's better if you stay outside." The midwife advised him but he didn't listen.

He wanted to be beside Hazel. How could he leave her when she was in so much pain? But after witnessing the whole situation of giving birth his head began to spin. He tried to keep his calm and be there to support his wife but soon, he was losing it.

"You have to push, Your Majesty." The midwife told her.

"I don't want to anymore. Just take it out!" Hazel yelled.

The situation became more stressful and Lucian was tense the whole time while he held Hazel's hand.

"There is not much left. Just one more push."

The veins in Hazel's neck and forehead popped out as she pushed one last time before her head fell back with a sigh and the baby's cry filled the room. At first, Lucian didn't pay attention to the child. He just looked at Hazel to ensure that she was alright. He was not going to let her leave him.

After a few deep breaths, Hazel reached her arms out eagerly to hold their child. It was like she didn't care about her own condition and just wanted to see the baby.

When the midwife placed the child in her arms a smile lit up her face.

Finally, Lucian felt his muscled relax after being tense the whole day. Now he just stared at the beautiful sight in front of him. His wife alive, holding his child. The world went suddenly still and everything around them faded. All that mattered and all he could see was the two most important people in his life. The ones who made living through hell worth it.

It was the happiest moment in his life, or so he thought before Hazel placed their daughter in his arms. His chest felt heavy with joy and his eyes became wet with tears. He didn't want to let go of her. He never wanted to let go of this feeling. The feeling of holding her. The feeling of being in heaven.

And so he named her. Heaven.

If he was his mother's light, then his daughter was his heaven. What more could he ask for?

"Your Majesty. I need to bath her." The midwife said with a pleading look when he didn't want to let go of her.

Hazel chuckled. "Yes, and I need to feed her."

He handed her over to the midwife carefully.

Oh, he never wanted to let go.

But he had a lifetime to spend with these two precious people and he began by spending time with them today. He was still very emotional and all he wanted to do was hold them both. As they lay in their bed Lucian leaned in and placed a kiss on Hazel's forehead.

"Thank you for this beautiful gift." He said and then looked at their daughter who was sleeping between them.

"Hmm…" Was all Hazel said as she was falling asleep as well. He could see the exhaustion on her face.

Lucian kissed her on the cheek one more time before slowly getting out of bed. His mother had kept her distance, probably letting them have their time together but Lucian knew she was very eager to see her grandchild.

Slowly he lifted Heaven form the bed and carried her to his mother's room. On his way, he got even more emotional. After seeing Hazel go through childbirth he understood the pain his mother went through. He understood the love of a parent and the strong desire to protect their child. He even understood why his father wanted to kill him. Not because he hated him, but because he wanted to save him.

And many times during his childhood Lucian had actually preferred death over living in utter loneliness. If he hadn't met Hazel he would still have that wish.

Lucian knocked on the door to his mother's room and before the second knock his mother opened the door already with a big smile on her face. Her gaze fell on Heaven in his arms and without a word, she leaned closer to take a closer look. She couldn't even wait until he came in.
