Grandfather Fu was so excited that he couldn't wait to go in and see Jia Li and his great-grandchild.
Inside the labor room, Fu Hua was almost in tears when he heard the loud wails of his princess. Jia Li was already crying. She made it!
The new parents, watched their little daughter being cleaned up with joy in their hearts.
Jia Li had no idea when the other doctor gave her another injection on her thighs because her eyes were on her baby.
As it was time to deliver the placenta, Jia Li gave an easy push and everything was over. Their little princess was still crying and that made their hearts ache.
The baby was cleaned up with olive oil, next, her weight and measurements were taken before she was brought to Jia Li.
One of the nurses pulled the cloth away from Jia Li's chest, before laying the little princess on her chest..
"Jasmine." Jia Li whispered while holding onto her small body. There were only tears of joy on her face.
A tear escaped from Fu Hua's eyes when he finally met his daughter. His little princess had no wrinkles on her face and she look so small and cute.
The little princess recognized her mother's voice and it was soothing to her. She stopped crying immediately and relaxed in her mother's arms.
"Jasmine, thank you for not troubling me." Jia Li said in a hoarse voice. She was so happy and couldn't describe the immense joy in her heart.
Fu Hua was still standing by the side. After finally meeting his little princess, he didn't know what else to do again. He was too excited to react after the reality hit him.
Jia Li got to cuddle the little princess for a short while before she was taken away by the nurse.
"We need to dress her and take her out so we could clean you up." Dr. Clinton said to her with a smile.
Jia Li understood but was reluctant to let her child go. Fu Hua kissed her forehead and whispered to her, "Congratulations! Our little princess has arrived, thank you for doing a great job."
Jia Li nodded as they pressed their forehead together with their eyes shut while holding onto each other's hands.
After a minute had passed, Fu Hua slowly let her go. "The baby and I will be waiting for you." He said in a gentle tone as he gave her hand one last squeeze before leaving her side.
After dressing the crying little Jasmine, the nurse handed her to Fu Hua.
"Mr. Fu, hold your daughter." The nurse said with a kind smile. She had noticed that Fu Hua hasn't touched or carried his child.
Fu Hua didn't need to be taught how to carry a child because he didn't miss the antenatal class when it was being taught.
Fu Hua felt at peace when he finally held his daughter in his arms. The baby was still wailing when she heard her father's familiar gentle voice. She stopped crying and gazed at him curiously. She couldn't see anything well but she looked at him like she could see him.
"It looks like she recognized your voice as well, congratulations!" Dr. Clinton and the other doctor congratulated him happily.
Fu Hua glanced at Jia Li who had a tired gaze on them. He smiled at her before walking out with the baby in his arms and one of the nurses walked ahead to lead him to the room that was prepared for Jia Li.
Outside the door, immediately as they walked out they were surrounded by the people outside.
"Grandfather, what are you doing here?" Fu Hua asked but he didn't look surprised.
"I have to see my great-grandchild." Grandfather Fu said with an excited smile as he came to his side.
Fu Hua brought the baby close so the old man could have a look. "It's a girl." Fu Hua announced with a smile.
"Good! Our Fu family has a princess now." Grandfather Fu said excitedly but he was sure to keep his voice down in other not to disturb the newborn who moved her eyes to him.
"Where is Li girl? Is she okay?" Grandfather Fu asked with his gaze on Fu Hua. He was not worried because he could tell that Jia Li was okay by observing Fu Hua's facial expression.
"She is fine. She will be out soon." Fu Hua replied.
"Congratulations master!" The servants greeted happily.
Butler Lu was all smiles like the old man as he congratulated the old man and Fu Hua.
Fu Hua had a warm expression as he responded to their congratulatory messages. He no longer had that cold attitude because his little princess was here.
Grandfather Fu wanted to hold his great-grandchild, Fu Hua passed the obedient little girl to him.
Jasmine frowned and was about to cry when Grandfather Fu comforted her. "My good child, don't cry."
Jasmine moved a little in his arms, before relaxing slowly.
"Grandfather, what name will you give to her?" Fu Hua asked with a smile.
"Da-Xia." Grandfather Fu responded with an excited gaze on Jasmine who let out a yawn while squeezing her eyes shut and moving her fists about.
"Young Master, it means, 'Big Hero'. Old master spent a lot of time finding male and female names for the child. He didn't know the baby's gender, so he had to prepare both." Butler Li explained with a smile.
"Jia Li will love the name." Fu Hua replied with a smile.
"She will love it. Li girl has worked so hard, I am proud of her." Grandfather Fu said with a smiling gaze on the cute baby in his arms.
Fu Hua took the baby back in his arms and asked his old man to go back and rest since he has seen his great-grandchild but the old man wasn't moved. He insisted on staying till he saw Jia Li.
Fu Hua didn't force him. His old man was stubborn and as he was excited now, he can't be convinced. Fu Hua followed the nurse to the room that was prepared for Jia Li with housekeeper Zu walking behind them.
