Taken By The Mafia Lord

Chapter 905 A Hungry Baby

Arianna has never been more confused in her entire life than at this moment. She had just called to inform Mimi that Adele was in labor only to receive another call from Victor barely five minutes later that her best friend's water had broken.

Her heart began to pound heavily while her pulse raced, how could both of them - Adele and Mimi - go into labor at the same time? She had two people to worry about now. To make it worse, the baby's head was already out which meant that Victor couldn't drive her to the hospital anymore. The delivery would happen at home.

" Victor, I know that you're scared right now but nothing is going to happen to Mimi. Actually, childbirth is very easy and…."

"Easy for you to say you bitch! Ahh!"

Arianna heard Mimi's scream and guessed the phone call was on speaker.

"Mimi, please don't talk, you have to preserve your strength to push," She advised her.

"I don't think I have to push!....this… this damn baby is in a rush... Ahh! God! My vagina is going to split! Victor!"

"Oh boy," Arianna breathed shakily.

She could hear the intensity of her scream even from the phone.

From the corner of her eyes, she watched Marcel come into view. He had gone inside earlier to make himself presentable so they could go see Adele, but now their priorities have shifted.

Arianna couldn't call her mother Natalie to help out with Mimi because she was in the hospital overseeing Adele's operation, making sure it went successful even though she wasn't the doctor in charge. Moreover, Mimi could not get to the hospital anymore.

She had to go to her. But Arianna doubted she could get there on time. In one word, someone else had to deliver the baby.

"Arianna!" Victor jerked her back to the present, "When are you getting here?!"

"That's the problem, Victor…." She winced internally wondering how she was going to tell the man that he had to deliver the baby himself.

She took a deep breath and with determination said, "I'm not going to make it on time."

"What?!"

"You can do this, Victor."

"Huh?" He sounded confused until it dawned on him.

"Oh, no, no! Don't do this to me, Arianna." He begged her.

Damn, the poor guy's going to get traumatized after this. Arianna felt bad but there was nothing that she could do in this situation. Her hands were tied.

"I'll call the ambulance, they will be there as soon as possible while I guide you through the delivery. Marcel and I are on our way now." She nearly flew out her front door with Marcel behind her, steadying and keeping her from tripping in her haste to get to them.

" Please, Arianna… '' Victor croaked, he was on the verge of tears," I-I have done a lot of bad things… " He sniffed,

"Damn, I have killed people! But this? I don't think I can do this, Arianna! This would be my undoing… please tell me you have another plan, Arianna. I can't…."

Hearing Victor's plea made Arianna's brow furrowed in worry, what was she going to do? The baby was not waiting and needed to be delivered before Mimi loses her strength and in the worst scenario, dies. If only they had taken her advice and stayed close to her during Mimi's last month, then this wouldn't have happened.

Marcel figured out what was going on since she put the call on speaker from her side as well because he snatched the phone from her ear before she knew it and was cursing into it

"Now, you listen to me, you dimwit! If Mimi by chance dies because of your stupidity, I'll destroy you! Think of this as your special mission and Arianna is your supervisor and she guides you through it, you got it!"

Arianna didn't know how Marcel did it but Victor's voice was a lot sturdier and he eagerly received her instructions just as Marcel opened the door to the car and she got in. She told him to get clean water, towels, and other equipment he might or might not need till she or the ambulance arrives.

And just like that, Marcel started the car and stepped on the gas, her heart nearly jumping from her chest when he raced through the road like a mad man, forgetting that she too was a pregnant woman. But then, Arianna trusted him and she has seen far worse things.

A journey that would have taken forty-five minutes, Marcel cut it down to twenty. They even saw the ambulance on their way but Marcel drove past it, he had to get to his cousin first. Arianna's audible voice was the only sound in the car as she gave clear instructions to Victor and Marcel didn't distract her for once.

They got there and Arianna would have run into the house except that she was pregnant and wasn't as fit and nimble on her feet as before. Damn! But that didn't stop her from quickening her feet and when she did come in, she expelled a break.

Mimi was lying on the sofa with her eyes shut and Arianna would have mistaken her for dead if it wasn't for the soft rising of her chest. Victor sat on the bare floor beside her, staring at his bloodied hands, and seemed to be in shock.

The poor man. God knows how hard Mimi would have to convince him to go for another kid after this traumatic experience. And then she saw it, the baby at Mimi's feet, wrapped in a clean white towel and bundled like a little mummy, and a smile split Arianna's features wide.

"You adorable thing," Arianna mewled as she picked up the baby whose umbilical cord was still attached to the mother. But it was okay, she was here now and would take care of it.

It was a baby boy and a hungry one as well as he yawned and in the same minute, his fierce shriek echoed around the house.
