Fairy Tail: Collapsing Stars

Su Wan was stunned when she realised that the contractions were not stopping, she looked down at her belly which was still a bit bigger and felt like the entire sky was going to fall on her shoulders! There were twins inside her! How come she never knew about this?    

All of a sudden, Su Wan started to feel flustered, she had no energy left inside her all she knew was that she was so tired that she wanted to go to sleep but the contractions in her belly told her that she could not!      

It was so painful that Su Wan rolled her eyes many times, though she wanted children. She did not want to give birth to twins when she was still so young and her body was not mature enough!      

But fainting was not an option, she could only push!      

Even Mother Lin and Grandma Shen were a bit startled when they saw that Su Wan was going to give birth to twins. She looked so tiny and her belly also looked rather normal when compared to the other women in the village who were due, who would have expected that this small woman was actually carrying twins?    

Immediately Mother Lin went into panic mode as she urged Grandma Shen to look after Su Wan while she rushed out and brought more clean clothes and warm water.      

The Lin brothers were standing outside of the room and when they heard the sudden bang of the door they turned to look at it, they expected that their mother will come out bringing their child but instead, she rushed past them not even caring about the looks on their faces, instead, she asked Qiao Xuan, the maid who was hired by Lord Fei to look at Su Wan to bring more pieces of clean cloth and warm water.    

"Mother, what is going on?" Lin Yan couldn't help but ask when he saw just how flustered his mother was looking, did something happen to Su Wan or their child?    

No, that was not possible. He had been taking care of Su Wan properly there was no way that their child will be in danger! But then again, if something did happen then …    

Lin Yan could not help but overthink as he opened his mouth and said to his mother, " Mother if something went wrong then make sure to save Wan Wan first."      

" Ptui! What are you talking about?" Mother Lin immediately spat on the ground to ward off bad luck before glaring at Lin Yan. " They are fine it is just that we did not expect that Wan Wan was carrying two children, this is why we were under-prepared." As she finished speaking she took the vessel in which Qiao Xuan was carrying water which had been warmed and then brought it inside the birthing chambers while shutting the door again.    

Because the brothers also did not expect something like having twins they were shocked upon hearing Mother Lin's words. Especially, Lin Yan who stared at the door for a very long time before turning to look at his brothers as he asked in a dazed sort of voice, "Did..did mother say that there are two babies in that room?" He pointed at the door.    

" I think she did say that," even though Lin Chen was in a daze he still nodded and turned to look at his second brother who had an expression of nothing but sheer confusion and surprise as he stayed in the same position for two minutes straight before he started laughing.    

" Hahaha, two…two babies…" At first, he was laughing but then he dropped to the floor and started crying out of joy. " Two... I am a father of two kids…"      

Lin Yan was crying with joy but Lin Chen and the rest were burning with envy, who would have thought that their second brother would be so capable? He ended up getting Su Wan pregnant with twins!      

Inside the room, Mother Lin was running around while Old Madam Shen started to bark orders when she saw just how flustered Mother Lin looked.    

" Why are you still in a daze? Go and bring something for Wan Wan to drink, this way she will be able to regain her energy."      

" What do you mean by porridge? Do you think that she can chew? Bring some chicken soup, in law."      

" Why are you opening that door? You five cannot enter! Stay back and don't peek until we call for you! Do you wish to bring bad luck to Wan Wan and the children? Junxi what are you doing you foolish man, bring them outside!"    

The continuous chatter made it impossible for Su Wan to sleep, she opened her eyes and continued breathing in and out just as Mother Lin had taught her.      

Seeing that Su Wan had opened her eyes again, Mother Lin heaved a sigh of relief as she positioned Su Wan up by looping her arm under Su Wan's head and then helped her to drink a few sips of the chicken soup which was delivered by Qiao Xuan. " Here drink it first, don't think of pushing until you recover a bit of your energy."      

With a dazed look on her face, Su Wan nodded as Grandma Shen wiped her forehead which was covered with sweat and then continued to gulp a few more sips of the soup before she opened her mouth and said, " I am ready."      

She could not stop pushing, the child might die of suffocation if he stayed inside for long! Mother Lin also knew the dangers which was why she placed the bowl on the cabinet next to her and then took her position before saying, " Okay start pushing Wan Wan!"      

And so Wan Wan started pushing again with renewed energy maybe it was because she already gave birth to a child a few minutes ago which was why the next one easily slipped out without causing her much trouble.      

As soon as the cries of two children echoed in the room, Su Wan raised her head and turned to look at Mother Lin.        

" Mother…?" She called in a soft voice which was even softer than a mosquito.      

Mother Lin who was carrying the newborn and swaddling the baby in a clean cloth turned to look at Su Wan and beamed, " You gave birth to two healthy boys, Wan Wan! Congratulations!"
