(well i guess I'm also detail-minded like you ;) it's not always that both rp partners felt the need for how slow-burn the rp should go. I'm glad we're mostly on the same page when determining the pace ;))

.................

Through the long labor, Aki had endured so much pain. Even th first suckle of their baby had brought on discomfort to the man. Nick was almost sorry to see that... but at the same time, he was very proud of his lover. So strong and determined, he could see the deep love Aki had for him, and was more than grateful that this love had helped him endure through this torturous process.

With the baby's suckle slowing, Nick knew the infant was probably falling asleep on hsi mother's chest. He stroked his back slowly,but before he could help burp the baby, the contractions had kick started again.

"Shh.....it's ok. Take deep breathes." he whispered gently to Aki, seeing his eyelids fluttered, on the brink of waking up. "I'll take Hercules...." he said, slowly replacing Aki's hands with his own. It was the new father's first time doing so, he was unfamiliar and highly tense, but miraculously he got the job done and was able to settle the baby in the nearby crib, returning to Aki's side very quickly.

"Aki...." he murmured, stroking Aki's thick thighs that were still termbling from extreme muscle fatigue. 'Do you want to walk around a bit?" he said eyeing Aki's belly. With one baby out, it looked less heavy. He stroked on his puffy middle. The baby was still a little high, a bit of walking might help encourage this little one coming faster - that was, provided Aki was feeling strong enough for that.
