A long while later, just when Yu Seok was at the end of his patience and ready to barge into the delivery room and check on his wife and child when the nurse walked out. With a smile she congratulated him,"Sir, you have been blessed with a little girl...We will be transferring the mother and child to the room soon sir."
Elder Yoo, who had been sitting quietly behind Yu Seok laughed and patted him heartily, "I have two great granddaughters now! I have been blessed! Two little warm blankets! Both my grandsons are useless but my grand daughters in law are the best!"
Yu Seok was stunned and paid not attention to his own grandfather.. A little daughter...just like his Eun-a. Closing his eyes, he thanked the fates for the blessings and then started to plan a few measures to protect her from boys who were going to cone around sniffing. They should have found the baby's sex when they were asked during ultra sound! Then he would have had more time to take measures to protect his daughter! His heart beating fast, he walked to the room that had been arranged and decided to wait for his wife and daughter. Soon, Xie Eun was brought in, tired and almost unconscious. Feeling his heart ache, he walked to her the moment she moved to the bed and put her in his lap, hugging her close and caressing her hair. She snuggled into him and raised her shiny eyes at her husband a tired smile on her face. "We have a little girl. She is going to help me turn your hair all white. Then you will look all dignified, hmm?"
Yu Seok grinned down at his wife and replied, "I have already planned to ready my shot gun..."
Xie Eun shook her head and muttered, "I am sure you have. But it is not like you would need it.. I am pretty sure that she will be well trained in handling all sorts of people by the time you are done training her. And she already has a big brother and sister and all other siblings she has in the future are going to be a terror to the world in the coming days."
Yu Seok looked down at his wife and rolled his eyes," If she is anything like her mother, no amount of me training her can help her! Her silliness is going to be inherited! And you are already thinking of future siblings? I thought you would be not even be ready to think of having anymore!"
Xie Eun poked Yu Seok in the arm and said," Do you think I am scared of pain? I planned to have at least 5 kids but I am willing to have four only since she will have a few more playmates. But I never want any of my children to feel lonely. So now that is just three more to go."
Xie Eun looked up at her husband and was dismayed at his look of horror. Saddened, that he may not want more children, she appealed," Well, I know we have not discussed this in the past but I really wanted a lot of children! And we can even afford them and...!" But Yu Seok's expression remained the same so she could only let the words go quiet as she looked down.
But Yu Seok could only shake inside as he thought of what his wife would have done if she had known of his thoughts. Thank the heavens Yoo Shiro had dissuaded him! He looked at her small face and then rubbed his cheek against her hair, "We can have as many children as you want! Think of all the fun we will have practicing when we make more.."
Just as Xie Eun was about to scold her husband for his naughty thoughts, the nurse walked in with a little bundle in her arms. The baby was wrapped in a small pink blanket. When the nurse saw the new mother sitting in the man's lap, the nurse was stunned and could only widen her eyes. Usually most couples were tired from the wait, but these two looked so content. She walked forward and placed the little sleeping baby in the new mom's extended arms. Xie Eun brought her close to her self and she could almost feel her arms shiver in excitement so much so that she felt scared she would drop her little bean. Just then, Yu Seok arms cradled under hers so that they both held the baby together.
Looking down at the little red, wrinkly face, both, Yu Seok and Xie Eun felt their hearts melt. A little tuft of her dark brown hair was visible from under the blanket and Yu Seok's fingers gently caressed it. The little baby stirred and the man who is feared as Wolf snatched his hand back worried that he had somehow disturbed the little one.
The nurse had been unable to help herself and clicked a picture of the new family with her cell phone. When she saw Yu Seok snatch his hand back, she went forward and showed the picture to him and said, "I will go and get a print for you, if you do not mind. But first, Mrs Yu, you need to feed your little baby. It is why she is stirring. Also if you need any help, please ring the bell on the side. For now, just hug her to yourself so that your baby recognizes you and learns to take feed.."
Just as they nodded, the little girl opened her misty eyes and stared up at her father and mother taking their breath away.. Her eyes were green just like her father's and would Xie Eun knew that they would soon clear up and shine like her father's. As Xie Eun wondered this, Yu Seok had already made preparations for his little baby, by deftly unbuttoning Xie Eun's hospital gown so that his little girl could fill her stomach....
