Chapter 455 - Replica of our love...

Few hours later...

Hospital delivery room...

"Mrs. Smith.. Give a hard push.." The doctor said.

"Aaahhhhhh!" Veronica yelled in pain as she tried to push her best but to no avail.

Reuben who had already started crying, seeing his wife's pain, couldn't afford to feel even a little bit of sting although his hands were getting scratched mercilessly by his wife's sharp nails as she kept holding his wrists tightly..

"Yes baby, push a little bit more. You can do it." Reuben continued to encourage her as he knew, what the most she needed right now was his emotional support..

Veronica glared at him angrily while trying to push and shouted at him angrily, "You are never going to touch me again, you idiot!"

Reuben literally shivered at the thought of not able to touch her but soon shook those stupid imaginations away from his head and focused on his already raging wife.

"Love.. We can talk about it later. You just focus on pushing now. You're a strong woman.. right? And I love you a lot for this." Reuben kept murmuring every single thing which could give encouragement to his wife.

"I can already see the head. Just two more pushes and the baby will be out. Please Mrs. Smith. Try hard to push with a little bit more force." The doctor requested earnestly..

Reuben started peppering her forehead with small kisses to divert her mind from the pain, not even caring that she was covered with sweat right now..

"You can do it, love.. You definitely can. For yourself, for me and for our baby.." Reuben kept whispering sweet nothing in her ears softly, making Veronica feel blessed to have him in her life.

She knew that she was unnecessarily blaming him. But she was also aware about the fact that the amount of love he had for her, had allowed her to shout on him even without any solid reasons.

This was their power of love!

With Reuben's constant support and love, Veronica finally gave one last push and soon the whole room filled with the wail of a very small baby.

"Waaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh...…"

"Congratulations! You both are now proud parents of a baby boy." The doctor informed them with a big smile on her face.

Reuben and Veronica looked at their son who was still busy in crying and then averted their eyes towards each other again.

Both of their eyes were now filled with happy tears as they heard the cry of their beautiful baby boy.

"You've done it, love. Congratulations baby's Mumma..!!" Reuben whispered with a big smile as he pecked her lips.

Veronica too cried with her husband and said with a big grin, "Congratulations to you too, baby's Dadda.."

They shared another sweet kiss with each other to share the happiness, when the doctor asked, "Mr. Smith.. Would you like to cut the umbilical cord?"

Reuben nodded his head positively and cut the cord looking at their symbol of love who was still covered with blood..

"We're going to take him to clean up now. And then we'll shift both the mother and baby in the VIP room." One of the nurses informed.

Reuben nodded his head and went over to Veronica, "I'm going outside now. But don't worry. Soon I'll be with you after they transfer you into the VIP room along with our baby."

Veronica smiled slightly as she felt her eyes getting heavy. Reuben watched her drowning into slumber as he pecked her forehead once again before walking out of the delivery room to inform their family and friends about the happy news of their baby boy's arrival…

One hour later...

Veronica opened her eyes slowly and adjusted her eyes to the lights before looking at her surrounding, only to find her husband and now her baby's father staring at her with utmost concern, adoration and lots of love in his eyes..

"You woke up? How are you feeling right now?" Reuben asked immediately when he saw her opening her eyes.

Veronica smiled at him and said, "I'm feeling happy, content and very much overjoyed."

Reuben smiled at her and informed her when he noticed her looking for their son, "Doctor is checking him."

"Why? Is everything okay?" Veronica's eyes filled with worry for her baby boy at the mention of doctors checking him.

Caressing her head, Reuben packed her lips softly before replying, "He's perfectly fine. They're just running few mandatory tests on him."

Veronica visibly relaxed and said, "Thanks for being with me when I was giving birth to our baby. Truthfully, it was your words which had motivated me that time."

Rubbing his thumb softly on her cheeks, Reuben muttered, "Thanks to you to bear so much pain in order to give birth to our symbol of love. Today you not only made me a father but also gave me the most precious gift of my life."

Veronica smiled at him and was about to say something when they heard the door getting opened as a nurse came in with a small baby wrapped in a blue blanket in her arms..

Both of their eyes started shining like a star as they saw their baby. Reuben helped Veronica to sit up properly and made her rest her back on the pillows..

"He needs to be fed." The nurse informed, giving the baby to his mother.

Veronica held him carefully as she stared at the bundle of joy with teary eyes.

The nurse helped her with her buttons and showed Veronica how to feed the baby before leaving from there, giving some privacy to the couple.

"He's so beautiful.." Veronica whispered as she gazed at her son lovingly who was sucking milk from her b.r.e.a.s.t hungrily.

Reuben who was sitting beside her with his arms around her shoulder, caressed his son's hair lovingly, making the baby smile as he slowly lifted his eyelids up and looked at his father.

"He has your eyes, Bennie.." Veronica said in amus.e.m.e.nt.

"And he has your nose." Reuben mumbled, witnessing the beautiful view where his lovely wife was feeding their precious son.

The sight was heavenly!

"I can't believe that we have made him." Veronica whispered as she stared at her baby with adoration in her eyes.

Reuben chuckled and said, "I know right! But seeing the replica of our love, we can't help but believe that we have indeed made a handsome baby boy together."

They smiled at each other and kept looking at the blessing of their life with love filled eyes. But their sweet moment soon got interrupted when the door burst open and entered their family members and friends with big smiles, adorning on their faces..

A few minutes later...

"He's exactly looking like baby Reuben.." Mr. Smith said, gushing over the cuteness of his grandson.

"Look, how he is smiling at us! He's such a cutie pie!" Mrs. Lopez said holding her grandson in her arms while her husband kept cooing at him.

Like this, everyone took turns in carrying him and immediately got bowled out at his cuteness who was smiling like a sunshine at everyone.

"By the way guys, Have you decided any name for this little munchkin?" Louis asked excitedly.

Reuben and Veronica shared a glance between each other and nodded at him in affirmation.

"You've mentioned to us before that whatever the baby's gender will be, you guys would give him or her an unique name which will be a combination of both of your names. So by which name this precious cutie pie is going to be called then?" An excited Amelia asked, going awe over the baby boy.

A smile bloomed on the new parents' lips as they looked at their newborn baby with all the adoration in their eyes before muttering lovingly, "Benver… Benver Smith.."
