His Sweet Little Mate by Obticeo Decatect

The sky this morning was so dark, as gloomy clouds blocked the sun rays from penetrating the horizon. This wasn't a strange sight in recent times, because it was the middle of the monsoon. But, this gloomy morning actually marked when Abby finally started to feel her contractions. "Call the healer, it's the baby, I think it's coming." Abby panted as she tried to alert her maid who was bringing her food tray away. She just managed to take two bites of her breakfast, before pushing it away and asked for her medicine. However, just as Reyna reached the door, Abby felt this acute pain in her womb. Since she had neared her due date, she had been feeling this dull ache in her back and lower abdomen along with this slight discomfort in her pelvis. But what she felt right now was much sharper, and she felt breathless just moments after it registered in her brain as tears gathered in her eyes.

Reyna, who heard her master whimper in pain, pumped her feet fast as she bellowed for Deion as soon as she threw the door open. "Deion, the queen needs the healer."

That was all Deion needed to hear before he rushed the guards to fetch Nadia and assistants, before sending someone to call over Alan and Dax while Reyna asked someone to bring Alyssa over.

Since they were prepared, anticipating for Abby to go into labor any day now, Nadia and the others didn't take long before rushing over to the king's tower.

After having a brief word with Abby, Alan and Dax went outside of the room, leaving Abby in the care of the women, and joined Deion, who stood guard in front of the door.

However, the weather wasn't forgiving today, as the wind howled really hard until it looked like there would be a storm very soon, while Nadia and her assistants fussed over Abby.

"Take deep breaths, my queen." Nadia was now rubbing warmth into Abby's right palm as Efrem focused on her left palm while Alyssa and Reyna took care of her cold feet.

"It hurts," Abby almost screamed when a sudden bolt of agony that sent her legs curling shot through her spine.

Just from her expression, Nadia could tell how badly Abby was hurting, but this was just the beginning or might also be a false alarm because contractions didn't follow the same pattern for everyone.

But if this was a false alarm, the healer dared not imagine what would happen when the real contractions finally chose to rack her body.

All she could do now was hope for the girl to go into labor and help alleviate some of her pain, but it was difficult when Abby found it difficult to even follow simple instructions like taking measured and deep breaths. Nadia didn't know if she should feel relieved or stressed when the contractions continued to

agonize Abby for a whole morning before giving her a little reprieve, where they dulled in intensity for a while.

"It's going to be alright, My Queen. Just stay with me, you can see the child soon." Nadia whispered soothing promises to Abby, as the girl looked like she couldn't scream any longer as her lungs protested with every breath that she took. However, Abby wasn't lucky enough for the pain to take pity on her, because they returned with twice the intensity, and just like that, the afternoon also passed in a blur of screams and pain for Abby.
