The Daughter in the Shadows (by Una Norris) novel Chapter 746

Chapter 746 The Arrival

When Waresther had given birth to him, she had nearly lost her life. Her body never recovered. That memory had carved deep into Wyatt’s heart.

He adored children, yes–but he had never imagined asking Yunice to bear his. He knew too well bow lengers & could be.

And yer nice had taken that risk on her own. To want a child–his child–shook him to his core. The Selling was so tangled, equal parts fear, awe, and clation, it often left him restless and

He paced outside the delivery room, glancing at his watch again and again.

An hour gone.

Why isn’t it over yet he barked, rounding on the door. “Do these useless doctors even know what they’re doing

He raised his fist, ready to pound the steel when the door opened.

A young marse flinched at the sight of his raised arm.

Wyatt seized her immediately. How is she? Why has it taken so long without a sound? Do you even know how to deliver a baby??

“Sir, calm down. The first labor is always longer.

But the other women are already done! Why is Yunice still in there? I want to see her-”

Before he finished, a strained but steady voice cut through from within: “Wyatt! Sit down and stog making a scene?“

Her low breath carried both pain and control.

The nurse shoved him back easily, closing the door.

Wyatt staggered two steps, crouched, and pressed a hand to his forehead.

Inside, Yunice kept her breathing measured, riding out each contraction.

The midwife soothed her. “First births take time. Once you’re fully dilated, it’ll be quick.”

“You could’ve chosen the cesarean Mr. Wyatt suggested–spare yourself the suffering,” the nurse added.

At ten centimeters, Yunice clutched the sheets, teeth grinding. “This is it. After this one, never again.”

If childbirth were too easy, she feared she’d forget the pain.

She endured in silence for a moment, then rasped, “What’s Wyatt doing out there?”

He’d been making noise earlier, but now there was none.

The nurse smothered a laugh. “Mr. Wyatt’s… on oxygen.”

“On oxygen?” Yunice nearly lost her composure. “He’s not the one giving birth!”

The nurse rushed to explain. “He was so anxious he started hyperventilating.”

Even the midwife chuckled.

Mortified, Yunice flushed red–just in time for another contraction to seize her.

Within minutes, the urge to push overwhelmed her. The midwife helped her onto the birthing bed.

Ten minutes later, a sharp smack echoed–followed by the piercing cry of a newborn.

Outside, Wyatt slowly straightened, eyes fixed on the door. That fierce, healthy wail filled the night, declaring the child’s arrival.

His throat tightened, tears burning at the corners of his eyes. His lips curved upward despite himself.

He was a father.

The door opened again, and a nurse stepped out.
