Flash Marriage: The Domineering Wife

Yan Mei gritted her teeth and huffed through the pain. The nurse hovering over her left shoulder calmly reminded her that "it's okay to make some noise dear, there is no shame in screaming if you want to"

But she just shook her head, her body in the grip of too many sensations and ongoing pain. If she had time to take a deep breath she would have told the nurse that she didn't have enough energy to scream. 12-hour labor and the first baby was just crowning.

"I can feel the head now, Mrs. Johnson you'll just need to push one more time to deliver this baby" the nurse between her legs called out. The nurse called her Mrs. Johnson because of the new identity Lei Zhao had created for them. In order to protect their children, they had fled to states to live a quiet life. With the help of her mother-in-law they had faked their death with only a few people knowing the truth.

Yan Mei took another bolstering breath and squeezed her husband's hands. Absently she recognized the cool cloth wiping at her forehead as the work of her mother-in-law. Lei Xiao Tong could remain graceful and elegant in the middle of an apocalypse, the only sign she was aware of the situation was the small worries in her eyes and the small smiles of encouragement.

Yan Mei gritted her teeth and bore down, exhaling the last part in a loud shout, she prepared to do it again when she heard the weak cries.

"You have a girl Mrs. Johnson, she's 2.5kg and feisty" as if the baby heard the doctor's commentary and disapproved, she cried even louder.

I can see the head of the other baby now, you just need to push and you'll be ready to go home.

Yan Mei was exhausted but tried to rally herself. "You're doing so good my love, just one more push and we can go home, one more, and our family will be complete. I love you"

She nodded and pushed one more time, and her second baby arrived into the world with a warm rush of liquid between her legs.

The moment she heard the second round of cries she flopped back gracelessly into the bed, it was almost as if the focus shifted from her to the babies. A nurse handed a squirming child to Lei Zhao while Lei Xiao Tong hovered in the periphery of her vision dabbing at her forehead and to her neckline with a cool cloth.

"You're a warrior Yan Mei , thank you for my grandchildren."

Yan Mei nodded slowly, too winded to reply, she turned back to see Lei Zhao walking towards her cradling one baby and the nurse holding the other. 𝑓𝘳ℯ𝒆w𝘦𝘣𝙣𝘰ѵ𝘦𝚕.c𝗼𝓶

She didn't know where she found the strength but she stretched out her hands to take the first baby and nestled her against her breast. The baby whimpered softly before latching on to her nipples.

The second baby nestled onto her right breast but seemed more interested in watching the scene.

Bright red eyes tinged with cobalt watched all the adults inquisitively as he clenched his baby hands close to porcelain ears.

Instinctively she knew it was her baby boy, her daughter was nuzzling softly at her breast and relaxing against her in degrees.

"They're perfect," Lei Zhao whispered words between them in the still bustling room.

Yan Mei winced at the actions of the nurse still between her legs but relaxed again. Lei Xiao Tong sniffed somewhere to her left, "I'll go and tell the others that the babies are here"

"Give my love to Lei Zhang " Yan Mei called after her departing mother-in-law, her voice was a croak, after that she must have dozed off because the next thing she woke up to was to find herself in a private hospital room with Lei Xiao Tong dotted beside her and their menfolk crowded around the crib a few meters away beside her bed.

"She's perfect" Lei Zhang stated with authority

"He's perfect too," Lei Zhao pointed out just as confident in his words

"He looks like you" Lei Zhang scoffed softly

"I'm perfect" Lei Zhao protested, anyone could hear the dopey smile in his voice

"You forget that I remember everything and I assure you you're not." Lei Zhang reiterated 𝙛r𝚎𝐞𝑤𝚎𝗯𝗻𝗼𝐯e𝚕.𝒄𝐨𝓂

"How come she's perfect?"

"She looks like her mom" Lei Zhang answered as if that was an obvious truth, Yan Mei smiled, her smile widened impossibly when Mr. Lei , her father-in-law chimed in

"Both my grandchildren are perfect, if you don't believe that, bring your grandchildren for comparison."

"Oh, you're already pointing out grandpa's rights?" Lei Zhao asked in a voice choked with mirth

The three of them laughed, a muted sound that brought tears to her eyes, she heard sniffling but looked up to catch Lei Xiao Tong wiping away at her eyes. "Thank you for my family, Yan Mei "

Yan Mei smiled softly and shook her head "it's my family too.

Lei Xiao Tong nodded and squeezed her hand.

"Now you can finally be happy with no worries of the future. Your children will be your source of happiness."

Yan Mei looked at her children and a soft smile tugged at the corners of her lips. She never thought she can give birth ever in her life but fate had different plans for her.

Yes she has suffered but now she knew everything was worth it. She was happy for the lessons life threw at her because it made her better and stronger person. Now she was a mother who will do everything for the happiness of her kids..

"Wifey…." Yan Mei looked up and saw that she was now alone with Lei Zhao in the room.

"Thank you." Lei Zhao said as he planted a kiss on his wife's forehead.

Yan Mei shook her head, "No. Thank you for not giving up on us. For always believing in me and never letting me go. Even in my next life, I will choose you over and over again."

Lei Zhao smirked at his wife, "Me too. I will always choose you. For you my darling, are my happy pills."

"I love you, Wifey. Always and forever."
