Chapter 1056: Just call her Xia Hua, Nagayama Xia Hua!!

Everything was fine when they arrived at the hospital.

Akina stayed in the VIP nursing room, changed into the hospital's medical clothes, and after the doctor checked the fetal position and the fetal heart rate, she lay on the bed waiting for the contractions to proceed...

She even had the leisure to eat the fruit sent to the room by the hospital, muttering that the hospital actually had such services...

What was called the highest treatment!

Nagayama Naoki accompanied her on the side. Actually, there was nothing to do, just chatting.

The nervous mood slowly eased, and they even started chatting and laughing... until the contractions started!

It didn't hurt much at first, and then as the time interval became shorter, it started to hurt more and more... After a few hours, Akina was pushed into the delivery room, and the formal production process began.

There was no such thing as a husband accompanying the birth in this era, so Nagayama Naoki could only pace back and forth outside the delivery room door, listening to the increasingly high-pitched painful cries inside.

"Is there no such thing as a pain pump?"

Nagayama Naoki grabbed a doctor who was walking out and asked, but received a negative answer, so he could only become more anxious.

Mrs. Nono Mari comforted him outside:

"Women giving birth will all be like this, Akina's body is very good..... the fetus is also very good, it will be a natural birth...."

At this time, Butler Alfred, who was originally waiting in the lobby, brought Nakamori Chieko over hurriedly.

"Has Akina started giving birth?" Chieko asked, panting.

"Hai, she's been in for a while....." Nagayama Naoki forced himself to calm down and helped Nakamori Chieko sit down, "Chieko-san, don't be anxious either...."

"Naoki, don't worry either, Akina will definitely be fine...."

"Hai...."

In this era, accompanying the birth in the delivery room hadn't become popular, and the hospital didn't allow relatives to enter, so everyone could only wait at the door of the delivery room.

However, it was a private hospital after all, and nurses would communicate with family members about the situation at regular intervals. Up to now, Akina hadn't had any special conditions, and the fetus was falling.

After four or five hours, there were a few more people outside the delivery room. Aritomo Yoshimura and Yin Tangxiu both came over after work, Tsuruko finally knew and hurriedly came over..... Cousin Nagayama Feng also rushed over.....

There were also Akina's eldest brother and eldest sister..... As for her father, he had to rush over from Yamazaki City.....

Of course, Mother Nanako and Father Nagayama Ken also rushed over from Shizuoka, dusty and tired, and the taxi fare alone cost tens of thousands.

Now with a group of people accompanying him, Nagayama Naoki felt the support.

The painful cries in the delivery room became louder and louder, and even Nagayama Naoki and Nakamori Chieko at the door couldn't help but stand up and look around.

Nagayama Naoki only felt that he couldn't help at all, and could only watch a woman give birth to a child for him inside...

After another hour or so, after another burst of high-pitched painful cries, Nagayama Naoki finally heard the movement in the delivery room stop... He couldn't help but lean to the door and listen carefully.

"Wah~~~ wah~~~"

The baby's crying sounded!

The people waiting outside all breathed a sigh of relief, and Nagayama Naoki felt like he was collapsing, feeling weak in his hands and feet for a moment.

Before long, the door of the delivery room opened, and a nurse poked her head out:

"Gave birth to a daughter, mother and daughter are safe!"

The little nurse looked left and right: "Who is the father?"

"Hoo~~~ ha~~"

Nagayama Naoki took a few deep breaths,

"It's me, it's me, can we go see Akina now?"

"I am the mother of the pregnant woman...." Nakamori Chieko also walked over, "Can I go together?"

"The mother had a natural birth and is being cleaned up.... she will be out soon...."

The little nurse said, and then walked out holding a swaddle that was crying non-stop,

"Let you see the child.... it's a girl..... we are going to take her to take a bath immediately...."

"....."

Nagayama Naoki leaned over and looked. In the swaddle was a wrinkled baby, like a hairless little monkey, and the skin was blue and white, which felt a bit scary......

"This.... is my daughter?"

"Yeah.... what a cute child?!" The little nurse said, "Do you want to touch it?"

"......."(⊙﹏⊙)

Nagayama Naoki reached out his hand and gently tapped the baby's forehead, feeling the temperature of the little person's skin, only then did he connect it with the baby in Akina's belly, and his heart throbbed.....

Nakamori Chieko and Nagayama Nanako walked up and looked at the baby affectionately.

"It looks like when Akina was born, both were so white....." "They are all like this when they are just born, wrinkled..... the eyebrows and eyes are very like Naoki when he was young!"

Tsuruko and other relatives and friends in the corridor also wanted to lean over to see, but the little nurse suddenly took it back:

"The baby shouldn't be in contact with too many people just after being born..... I'll take her to take a bath first, and bring her over later...."

Generally speaking, newborn babies have to be observed in the nursery, but this was a private hospital, and Nagayama Naoki and the others were VVIP customers, so they brought the baby incubator directly to the room.

Not long after the little nurse closed the door, the doctor pushed the mobile bed out. Akina lying on it was pale, sweat had soaked her hair, sticking to her forehead and face.....

Nagayama Naoki looked at her with heartache and walked to her side quickly, holding her hand:

"Akina......"

"Naoki-san, did you see the baby?" Akina showed a weak smile.

"I saw it....."

"Cute, right...."

"......." At this time, he must be insincere, "Very cute....."

"Liar, clearly like a little monkey!"

"......."

Nakamori Chieko walked over and scraped her daughter's face:

"How can a mother say that about her own child! You were exactly the same when you were just born!"

"......" Akina then stopped talking, but looked at her mother coquettishly, "Oka-san, I'm a bit hungry......"

"......"

After finishing breakfast, it was already night now...... Seven or eight hours had passed without eating anything, and she had used force to give birth to the child the whole time, so being hungry was natural!

"Chieko-san..... Oka-san....." Nagayama Naoki looked at his mother and mother-in-law, "At this time, is it okay to eat something?"

Mother Nagayama Nanako was a bit uncertain. She hadn't encountered a mother who shouted hungry just after giving birth!

"....... If it's a natural birth, wait another hour or two....."

Nakamori Chieko stroked Akina's cheek,

"Go to the room and drink some water first, rest for a while....."

And so, a large group of people followed the mobile hospital bed in a rush, heading toward Akina's room...

Due to the top-tier treatment and her status as a celebrity with high privacy needs, Akina's room was on a separate floor, isolated from other maternity patients, and even had its own private elevator.

Inside the room, aside from the addition of some medical equipment, it was much like a presidential suite, with a bedroom and a living room, so it didn't feel crowded even with a large group of people.

After arriving at the room, Akina, with the help of Chieko Nakamori, wiped herself down a little before lying on the bed in the bedroom to rest for a while.

Meanwhile, Naoki Nagayama was thanking their friends and family for coming...

"Otomo-san, Shuichi-san... Arigato~"

"Haha, congratulations to Naoki-san on the baby!" "You're a father now!"

"Yeah, I didn't expect it either... Kaede-aniki, you're almost there too!"

"Haha, that's true..."

Otomo Yoshimura said:

"A newborn baby is wrinkly at first, but in a day or two, they'll be fair and tender~"

"Haha~"

Tsuruko also chimed in: "When Yaso was just born, she was all wrinkly too... like a little monkey..."

"..."

Nanako Nagayama hurriedly covered Tsuruko's mouth and had her father, Ken Nagayama, keep an eye on her to prevent her from saying anything even stranger.

The atmosphere in the room was lively and warm...

A few minutes later, a young nurse and a doctor pushed an infant incubator inside and rolled it right up next to Akina. The crowd in the room instantly swarmed toward the incubator, looking at the baby who had already been bathed.

The doctor was slightly surprised to see so many people in the room, but still found the main person in charge:

"Nagayama-san... after giving birth, the mother needs to rest..."

"Hai, I understand. Everyone will be heading back in a little while..."

"Mm..."

The doctor took out the documents in their hand.

"Nagayama-san, we need to fill out the birth certificate now... what is the child's name?"

Naoki Nagayama leaned over to look at the birth certificate. The gender, place of birth, and time of birth were already filled in, along with the signatures of the obstetrician and the midwife... only the name was left.

"Natsuka!" Naoki Nagayama glanced at Akina beside him and the baby in the incubator. "The name is Natsuka Nagayama!"

Life should be as brilliant as summer flowers...

My daughter's life will surely be like summer flowers too!

The friends and family in the room left one after another.

In the end, besides Akina herself, only Naoki Nagayama and her mother, Chieko, remained to stay with her. Naoki Nagayama didn't even ask his mother, Nanako Nagayama, to stay and help...

The care at the private hospital was truly impeccable, and even the postpartum meals were delivered by dedicated nurses.

Akina's eldest brother was a taxi driver who had brought her mother, Chieko, and her eldest sister, Akie, over from Kiyose; they could just head back now. Naoki Nagayama naturally expressed his sincere gratitude and promised to personally drive his mother-in-law back later.

For his father and mother, who had rushed over from his hometown, Naoki Nagayama sent them back to stay at Mount Zhishusangde with the butler, Afu, along with Tsuruko... there were plenty of rooms anyway.

As for his cousin, Kaede Nagayama, Naoki Nagayama didn't need to worry, and even less so for Otomo Yoshimura, Shuichi Yin Tang, and the others... they had already made plans to attend the full-month banquet together.

After seeing everyone off, the room began to quiet down...

The medical staff from earlier came by once more to have Akina breastfeed for the first time... naturally, there was no milk yet, so little Natsuka could only suck on nothing for a while before finally starting to cry.

"Okasan, what should I do if there's no milk?" Akina held the baby, feeling helpless.

"It won't happen that fast..." Chieko Nakamori comforted her. "It'll come tomorrow..."

"Then what about today? Should I use formula?"

"For today..."

The nurse chimed in from the side:

"On the first day, it's fine to give her a little water... she needs to pass meconium anyway..."

"..."

Anyway, after a somewhat frantic feeding session, they saw the little baby lying back in the incubator, asleep...

Only then did Naoki Nagayama have the time to sit beside Akina and, together with his wife, quietly watch the baby through the glass.

The tiny body had its eyes tightly shut, with a little nose and little eyes... her chest rose and fell gently, and her little hands twitched occasionally...

As delicate as a seed that had just sprouted...

"Natsuka Nagayama... Naoki-san, is it really going to be this name?"

"What's wrong?"

"I thought you would come up with an earth-shattering name..." Akina leaned into Naoki Nagayama's arms and laughed. "Saying something like the name would just pop into your head the moment you saw the baby..."

"..."

Sigh... I just wanted to show off a little back then...

After pausing for a moment, just as he was about to say something to save face, Naoki Nagayama realized that Akina had already fallen into a deep sleep...

Well, she had been exerting herself all day, and now that the noisy environment had finally vanished, she naturally fell into a peaceful sleep while leaning in her husband's arms.

Naoki Nagayama wrapped his arms around Akina, gently straightened her out, and lowered the bed to make her more comfortable, then leaned back beside her to close his eyes and rest.

After Chieko Nakamori walked in and saw that both of them were resting, she didn't disturb them; she walked softly to the side of the bed and gently stroked her daughter's face...

Then she silently returned to the adjacent bedroom...
