Chapter 36: The Emergency

The entrance of the operation theater slid open. The light upon it has not turned off, which meant the operation was still on going. Yamato in his scrub came out, gasping and sweating. He was aiming to get Yuki into the operation theater, however the sight of Kawanishi caused a death glare from him.

"I want to meet Yuki!" Kawanishi rushed towards the disgusted Yamato. "How is he? Is he safe? How about the babies? Are they-"

"They haven't been born yet, you bastard," Yamato gritted, incensed by Kawanishi's unbounded stupidity. "Why are you here? This isn't your place!"

"I was waiting for Yuki-"

"Why are you waiting for him? Goodness," Yamato rolled his eyes, loathing the presence of Kawanishi in his view. "Ryohei, follow me. We're going to disinfect you, then you'll join Yuki."

The muted Ryohei did not react much other than nodding and tailing Yamato. He performed everything Yamato has instructed, including changing his clothes to the sterile scrub. The scent of medicines, hospital tools, and Yuki's pheromones mixed in the atmosphere, choking him a little. He has already broken into sweats from the first minute he stepped in.

In between the hardworking nurses, there was a fragile Yuki on the bed. Scrunching face and drenched in sweats, much wetter than Ryohei. Yuki has been persisting to the contraction. Yamato and his nurses were preparing for the major operation - medical tools, machines, oxygen tanks, bags of donated blood, liquids, and many more Ryohei could not perceive.

The only thing mattered was Yuki. He huffed in difficulty while resisting to the indescribable pain. He groaned as a contraction hit, and he grasped on anything his hands could reach while the pain wrecked across his body.

"It hurts," Yuki slowly whined. Tears streaming down his cheeks as he endured. "Dear, please- help me."

'Dear' was the name which only Yuki used to called him. Ryohei was stunned watching Yuki in such condition. Yuki was calling him, whereas the blind was not informed of his presence. He quickly went to get Yuki. As soon as he grabbed one of Yuki's hands, Yuki flinched and immediately cried.

"Dear, Dear," Yuki tugged Ryohei's warm hand and kissed it. "I want you. Please- don't leave me. It hurts- so much-"

Ryohei stared at the pitiful Yuki. For sure Yuki could not see how emotionless Ryohei was despite the chaotic operation theater, plus the helpless Yuki on the bed. He basically did not hear any of those sounds - it was blew away passing over his own ears.

The nurse has already set Yuki's legs on the stirrup. The wider Yuki's pelvic was, the greater the pain. An emerging sensation from within him added on the tremor. The dilation has enlarged, which indirectly meant one of the babies has dropped into the birth canal.

"The patient was supposed to have a C-section, but this is beyond expectation," Yamato gave a brief explanation before performing the operation. "His water has broken and he was already dilating. The process was fast, I must say. It means we also must get fast so that he won't have complication afterwards."

Then, they surrounded Yuki's bed. Yamato taught Yuki to push whenever a contraction hit, and Yuki nodded quickly. He did well in his early pushes, however neither of the babies emerged at the opening.

"Doctor, the vitals are depleting!"

Yamato shifted at the monitors displaying Yuki's cardiograph, heart beat and blood pressure. The nurse was right - Yuki's reading were declining. Everyone became super busy handling the weak Yuki.

"Ryohei, please watch Yuki! Don't let him sleep!" Yamato instructed Ryohei almost in panic.

Ryohei blinked in confusion, yet he obeyed to Yamato. He grasped Yuki's hand and caressed it softly. Yuki realized there was Ryohei at his bedside, smiling wryly in pain.

"Dear- thank you- for being here."

Ryohei stared at the wrenched Yuki. Even though Yuki was the one battling to give birth to the babies, he was the one having massive heart pounding. Frankly, he was in contemplation. Kawanishi was Yuki's client who provided the blind a much steadier and proper job than at they gay bar. Kawanishi basically helped him financially. And! It might be caused by Kawanishi that Yuki has developed his female reproductive organs. Based on what he heard from Yamato, Yuki's womb might have developed due to the response to a stimulus by a partner.

He was confirmed as a Beta. An Alpha should be the partner of an Omega. There was no scientific proof saying that a Beta could impregnate an Omega, however he and Yuki happened to be the first pair achieving so. Nevertheless, a Beta is still a Beta - Ryohei could not bind Yuki all to himself because he was a Beta. Yuki was still capable to mate with other people especially an Alpha...

They have known each other for only half a year. Logically, an organ would not develop in just months. Meanwhile, Kawanishi and Yuki have been in a relationship for years...

And Beta was not supposed to be an Omega's mate...

"Dear."

Yuki just squeezed Ryohei's hand a little when Ryohei took his hand away. Definitely Yuki was shocked at Ryohei's abrupt retreat, groping the air to take back his hand. Ryohei was his only source of strength other than the unborn babies, thus losing him meant death to him. However, Ryohei just stared at Yuki.

It was impossible.

Yuki was not pregnant because of him.

And the babies in Yuki were not...

"Ryohei!" Yamato half shrieked to avoid the nurses and Yuki from trembling. "What are you doing?"

"Dear- Dear, where? Where are you?"

Ryohei stepped backward. From an emotionless expression, he switched to denial mode. He gradually shook his head, refusing to accept anything.

"No, no!" Ryohei's lips trembled, holding back the madness lingering in him, "You cheated... You cheated on me, Yuki!"

"Ryohei, what-"

"And you!" Ryohei pointed right at Yamato's nose, "You did know all these, didn't you? You knew that Yuki met Manager! You were aware of their relationship even though you rooted for us!"

"Now's not the time, Ryohei!" Yamato was dizzy since he was initially focusing at Yuki, but now he had to pay attention to Ryohei too.

Ryohei was about to open the door when Yamato called him again, "Ryohei! Stay here! Yuki needs you!"

The husband halfheartedly stared at Yamato, "Manager is the one who should be here."

"Why the heck you mentioned Kawanishi in here?!"

Even the nurses could not block Ryohei from walking away. They could not get out from the operation theater at the moment, but Ryohei has already put off his scrub and left.

"Ryohei! Ryohei!!"

The beeping sound of machines attached to Yuki interrupted them. When Yamato just got back his concentration, Yuki was unconscious. The entire operation theater became busier handling the fainted Yuki. His babies have neither been born, but Yuki has passed out already.

"Doctor!" Yamato's assistant called him loudly, "He wasn't passing out!"

Yamato checked on every parameters on the monitors. Yuki was unconscious, but not due to exhaustion or pain.

"We need to revert to our original plan! The patient has fallen into coma! We need to save his babies!" Yamato announced in stammer.
