That's Two

(NSFW)

I was not about to be outsmarted by a kid who had yet to be born. Reaching up with my magic again, I wrapped it around the baby and shifted him to exactly where I wanted him to be, ignoring Li Dai Lu's grunt of pain.

This time I didn't let go.

I pulled him out a little at a time with each contraction.

"It hurts," screamed Li Dai Lu, gripping Liu Wei and Liu Yu Zeng's hands. I don't know if I can keep going."

I wanted to look at her, to assure her that everything was fine and in a little bit, she would have two healthy children. In fact, I was willing to bet that she wouldn't even remember this pain later. But I needed to concentrate on bringing this baby into the world.

Bin An Sha took a different approach. "So, you would like us to put the second one back up and sew it in?" he suggested, still across the room.

"Excuse me?" snarled Wang Chao.
