THE BILLIONAIRE'S DESIRE

CHAPTER 16

CHAPTER 16

"What is the matter, Miss Ella?" Patty massaged her eyes immediately upon hearing Ella shout her name. When Patty noticed her caressing her back while she continued to grimace in agony, she decided Mugsy's time had come to see the outside world. "Relax and take a deep breath," Patty said. Daniella's room had an intercom, and Patty promptly phoned Peter's room and notified him to prepare for the hospital visit.

Patty aided Daniella in going down the stairs when everyone was up and waiting enthusiastically for them. Patty could tell by their expressions that they were also looking forward to seeing Mugsy.

Daniella desired to unwind, but the contractions persisted. It was too terrible to endure, but she reminded herself that other women had survived childbirth with no complications. Everything would be OK between her and Mugsy, she reasoned as she carefully approached the automobile.

If others could do it, then she could as well, and she should be strong for Mugsy! Daniella climbed into the car, her head held high, with a renewed sense of resolve and confidence. Patty broke a fresh egg and instructed her to take it in one gulp while in the car. According to legend, she despised everything that was raw, but when she was in agony, she would try everything to alleviate her, and Patty felt that the fresh egg may assist her in the birth.

Doctor Arbiol was prepared when they arrived at the hospital, and despite the excellent doctor's assurances that she would be well, she remained concerned and fearful. She wished Marcus had been present during the procedure to hold her hand and murmur sweet nothings to ease the agony of childbirth.

Other ladies said that it was completely painless; they must be kidding! Daniella was just coping with the discomfort when the contractions became unbearable, and she began to question her ability to survive. The anguish returned with a vengeance, and every muscle in her body stiffened.

It's the sensation of constipation multiplied by a thousand or more; that's how labor felt. She was too fatigued and unable to concentrate at the time. Daniella asked the doctor if she might sleep as she awaited the baby's natural birth, but the doctor answered no. She must remain awake to ensure that progress is made, otherwise the child's life will be jeopardized while still inside her.

When her water broke, she believed the ordeal was nearly over! However, she was forced to endure another round of severe contractions before Doctor Arbiol pronounced that she was completely dilated and the baby had sunk to a comfortable position in her pelvis. Low enough that pushing the kid out took only approximately five minutes! NôvelDrama.Org owns this.

Daniella felt relieved and delight pour over her entire body when she heard Mugsy's first scream. The bliss of motherhood! The sensation was wonderful, and she was on the verge of tears as she held her baby for the first time.

"Mugsy..." she murmured. Seeing her for the first time was the most beautiful feeling she had ever had, and the ecstasy penetrated deep into her soul, taking her breath away.

"I'm delighted for you, Ella. You have a stunning daughter that is just like you." Doctor Arbiol congratulated the new mother, who broke down in tears. Her father would be overjoyed to see his one and only daughter become a mother...if he were still alive and well. "What are your plans for your child's name, Ella?" She enquired.

"I am Ariana Jade," she said.

Daniella was permitted to return home three days later to breastfeed her daughter in the privacy of her own house. As it was family tradition to baptize newborns before they reached the age of one month, she was busy arranging for AJ's first function.

However, the church was quite rigorous and required that parents be married before they could baptize her child. As in, what the devil? Then she realized that not everyone was aware of her

annulment, and she was able to present the secretary with a certificate of marriage. She assumed it had been arranged, but the wretched secretary insisted on a religious wedding.

"My spouse is still in Syria, Ma'am, but we are planning a Christian wedding for when he returns," she lied, compounding her faults, but she had no alternative!

Daniella felt relieved when the woman trusted her fabrications. Once the baptism date was determined, she desired to go dress shopping for AJ, but her body was still hurting. Finally, internet buying proved to be really beneficial. She was finished in a matter of clicks and simply had to wait for the delivery from Rainbow Tots. She entrusted the food services, d��cor, and photographer to Thalia and concentrated on breastfeeding her kid.

Typically, Daniella would take her kid outside for some fresh air in the afternoon. When a vehicle parked outside the fence, AJ was in a stroller and they went around the yard. She wasn't expecting anyone, and she became apprehensive and eager as she assumed it was Marcus who had arrived. "Ma!" Her eyes widened as she watched Paloma exit the car, followed by another woman...with a kid in her arms. Daniella opened the gate, smiled at the arrivals, and locked her gaze on the young woman, and was taken aback when she recognized her. "Lilian?" She inquired, and the woman responded with a nod. "It's wonderful to see you!"

Lilian was taken aback when she was greeted by the lady she despises the most. While driving to the city, she fantasized about the worst-case scenario for her first meeting with Daniella. "I appreciate it... I had no idea you were that sweet." As she stated.

"Little Lil, people change. Sorry, is it acceptable to address you like that?" Daniella apologized for her familiarity with Lilian when they first met.

"Certainly, provided I may also refer to you as Ella." Lilian smiled and presented Daniella to her daughter. The second woman was taken aback when she learned she was pregnant.

"So you've recently given birth to Vanessa?" What a coincidence, as I am also expecting my AJ." They were giddy with excitement about their new duty as mothers.
