Zombie Apocalypse: Creation

As the two headed back inside the house, Nami was sitting on the kitchen table with Lily, Kate, and Anna playing cards.

With Leyan heading inside the kitchen to prepare lunch, Yueyue went over to Nami’s table to watch them play cards.

”Nami, you aren’t stressed at all?” Yueyue asked as she took a seat at one of the chairs.

”Stress for what?”

”You can go into labor any time at this point.” Yueyue pointed out.

”Why would I be stressed about that? If it happens, it happens. There’s no point in worrying something that I can’t do much about.”

Yueyue was a little surprised by Nami’s carefree attitude, as she remembered how nervous she was when she was going through it herself.

”Nami, have you thought of what name you’re going to give to your baby?” Kate curiously asked.

”I had a name for the baby, but I kind of forgot about it... Can you guys help me come up with one?”

”How about Issac? That’s a unique name that no one here has——”

Before Kate could finish explaining her suggestion, Yueyue stepped in.

”Don’t listen to her. Just give it a normal name. Giving your kid a foreign name is the worst possible idea.”

”Whatever... Almost forgot, Nami, is it a girl or a boy?” Kate curiously asked.

”It’s a girl.”

As the table fell silent, thinking of names for the baby girl, Lily was the first one to speak up.

”How about Jiemin?”

”Doesn’t sound that bad... Chen Jiemin...” Nami murmured the name over and over again, slowly convincing herself to choose it as the baby’s name.

”I think Chen Beli is not bad either,” Anna suggested.

”How about Chen Buqing?” Yueyue suggested.

”Or maybe Chen Yezheng?” Kate suggested.

Thirty minutes later...

The four of them constantly gave Nami more and more names, to the point that she couldn’t decide which one to use.

But eventually, it was settled when Leyan came in as she finished cooking lunch.

”A baby’s name? How about Xuanhua? It’s a nice heart-shaped flower I’ve seen before on one of the trips I had.”

Without any hesitation, Nami instantly accepted it, not wanting to waste any more time on it.

”Chen Xuanhua it is. Thanks, Mom.”

”No problem. Anyway, can you all clean up the table? I need to move the food here now. Yueyue, can you call Wuli and Shuli over?”

”Okay.”

When Xiaoyun came back home from work, it was already ten at night.

”Honey, what took so long?” Leyan curiously asked as she helped him unload his backpack.

”Just a lot of work... At least most of the stuff should be sorted out by now... Is Yuqi back home yet?”

As the two headed towards the kitchen, the three babies were sleeping peacefully in their crib in the living room.

”Qiqi just came back an hour earlier than you. She just ate dinner and went straight to sleep, though.”

”It’s fine. She must be really tired... I’ll just ask her tomorrow.”

After finishing the food, Xiaoyun and Leyan went over to carry the three babies back to their room, as it was their assigned duty night to take care of them.

Fortunately, none of the babies was awakened by them carrying it, allowing the two to sleep for a peaceful night.

But just as Xiaoyun was about to fall asleep, the bedroom door was suddenly slammed open.

”Sister Nami’s water broke!”

”Hm?”

As Leyan slowly opened her eyes, awakened by Lily’s voice, Xiaoyun was already out of bed, rushing over to Nami’s bedroom.

”Nami, you okay?” Xiaoyun asked urgently as he ran over to her bedside.

”I-It feel weird——”

”She’s definitely going through labor,” Leyan pointed out as she and Lily walked into the room.

Without any hesitation, Xiaoyun gently carried Nami in his arms and rushed down the stairs into the garage.

As the car drove off into the distance, Lily became a little concerned, as she was planning to be in the car with Nami.

”Shouldn’t we get inside the car with them? Why did he just drive off so fast?”

”It’s fine... Xiaoyun himself is enough. He’s done this about seven times at this point. I’m going back to sleep.”

Leyan closed the garage door and headed back inside the living room, yawning as she headed back upstairs.

”Besides, it’s going to take a long time... We’ll just visit them in the hospital when everyone is awake.”

Lily thought for a second, thinking of heading to the hospital herself. But she eventually changed her mind after seeing the windy, cold night outside the window.

---

Meanwhile, in the car.

”Babe, I-I think I’m giving birth right now,” Nami yelled as Xiaoyun glimpsed at the rear window.

”Just hold on for a minute. We’re going to be in the hospital... Fuck, why didn’t Leyan just help you stay in the hospital before this.”

As Xiaoyun floored the gas, several houses along the road lit up their light, looking through the windows wondering who was driving this late at night.

”I-I didn’t want to stay in the hospital for an entire week...” Nami murmured.

”Nevermind. Don’t worry about it, sweetie. Just relax and prepare yourself for a long fight.”

After a minute of driving, Xiaoyun stopped the car as it arrived at the parking lot of the hospital.

”Don’t try to move. I’ll just carry you the whole way.”

Nami didn’t say anything and watched Xiaoyun lift her into his arm, walking steadily to the hospital.

As they arrived at the front desk, the night duty nurse was half asleep on the desk.

”Hey!” Xiaoyun yelled.

”Y-Yes, ma’am! I-I’m not sleeping!”

The night duty nurse instinctively stood up, only to see Xiaoyun standing right in front of her.

”Can you guys help her? She’s going through labor right now.” Xiaoyun explained.

”O-Oky. Give me a minute.”

The night nurse started dialing a number and then talking over the phone as Xiaoyun waited.

”What’s taking so long?” Xiaoyun impatiently asked.

”M-Mr.Mayor, all of them are currently busy with a medical operation, or they are on a break right now. I-I have to call them back to get over here.”

The night nurse explained, stuttering several times after seeing Xiaoyun’s face, which looked extremely angry.

After waiting for another minute, a nurse finally came by to help Xiaoyun to get a room for Nami.

However, as the nurse began to set everything up, Xiaoyun was forced to sit outside the room despite wanting to stay.

”Xiaoyun, just stay outside for a bit, okay?” Nami backed up the nurse after the nurse whispered something to her.

After waiting for almost an entire five minutes, a woman in a doctor’s uniform walked past and entered the room.

Only after waiting another ten minutes was Xiaoyun finally allowed in, with the bottom side of Nami just covered enough that he couldn’t see it, just like in the past when he was there with the other three.

With the nurse helping Xiaoyun put on some sanitation gear, Xiaoyun was allowed to walk to the bedside next to Nami.

---

After a long, grueling process, it was finally over.

The whole time, Xiaoyun was constantly getting weird looks from the doctor as Nami looked way too young to be giving birth.

But only after the operation was finished and they headed back to check the document did they realize it was just Nami’s body not matching her age.

Funnily enough, during the initial stage, the baby was stuck with only the tip of its head, causing the doctor to consider a C-section.

After hearing the suggestion, Nami instantly rejected it, realizing it could leave a scar around her belly.

Besides the logical reasoning, she gave a silly answer that made the entire room almost laugh out loud.

”I don’t want to lose my bet to Yuqi... I’m going to do this all-natural.”

---

”Congrats! Your baby!” The doctor announced as she held the baby in her hand, crying after the doctor flicked its butt a little.

”Can I hold it?” Nami asked weakly.

”Of course.”

The doctor carefully lowered the baby into Nami’s arm, letting her carry it as she gently patted the baby’s head.

”It’s so cute.” Nami pointed out.

”Yeah. It’s cute.” Xiaoyun agreed, his face visibly tired as he had been up for the entire night along with all Nami.

”Okay, now we need to do a checkup on the baby.”

Nami hesitated for a second but eventually handed the baby back to the doctor.

As the nurses began removing all the setup and cleaning up Nami, Xiaoyun sat down in the chair and waited.

”Nami, you can sleep now if you’re tired,” Xiaoyun suggested.

”I’m not tired at all... You should be the one going to sleep. You look so sleepy.” Nami pointed out as she noticed him holding his yawn the whole time.

”Me? I’m not tired at all——”

Xiaoyun finally couldn’t hold in his yawn, letting it out as Nami and all the nurses laughed.

”You can go back home now. We can take care of her from here.” One of the nurses suggested.

”I——”

”Xiaoyun, listen to them. Just go to sleep first. I can sleep on the bed any time. You still have work later.”

”Fine... I’ll go to sleep.”
