[Lt. Paawin Riyo - Kerelia - Vacation Home]Riyo was glad that the water seemed to be helping her, and even moreso that she accepted his offer of the pain relief. Once he was thoroughly disinfected without any flecks of glitter lingering on his skin, he moved back over to her and knelt beside the tub. Grabbing the tricorder and hypospray from his medkit and the vial of medicine from the box the clinic sent over, he gave her the injection before running a full scan. "Everything looks good so far," he assured her with a smile and small breath of relief. "Hopefully it won't be long now." Unfortunately every body was different... And every labor was different. But he had everything he needed to solve any minor difficulties, and with the com device next to him he could contact the station for an emergency transport if it was absolutely necessary. He needed to find that line now... To be both the supportive partner as well as the experienced doctor. Setting the tricorder to scan continuously, he set it to the side and reached to take her hand. "I'm here to help you any way I can, Imzadi," he told her softly, giving her hand a gentle squeeze.

[Vacation Home - Kerelia] The gentle hiss of the hypospray as Riyo gave her the pain relief that she had agreed too, brought Lea some clarity as the warm water continued to do it's job. This had been one of the scenarios that they had talked about when discussing her plans for when labour happened. But like everything it wasn't exactly how she had planned it and could only hope that it would be a lot easier than Ari and Aven's deliveries. Of course it was different this time around and yet had to concentrate on ensuring nothing serious occurred. Sensing Riyo's own relief as he completed his scans and reassured her that everything looked good so far, did help the mother to be. " I'm glad as I know how sudden this was and I'm sorry I didn't say anything before. I honestly thought it was another false alarm". Lea knew he would understand or hoped so as it was important for her to say that now as he also commented on how it shouldn't be too long. " If they're anything like their brother then hopefully".The warm water combined with the pain relief taking effect did make more of a difference, before Riyo spoke to her again and gently squeezed her hand. " I know and I apologise now if I hurt you".To prove her point and instantly feeling some remorse, Lea squeezed his hand a little more harder than normal as another strong contraction took hold.

[Lt. Paawin Riyo - Kerelia - Vacation Home]"It's alright, love. Don't worry about that now," he replied to her apologies about not letting him know sooner. She told him when she needed to, that was most important. While a little extra notice would have been beneficial in getting the other kids sorted, they still had the time to get everything taken care of before there were any problems. Her sudden vice grip on his hand made him wince slightly, but he returned the pressure to strength the hold. "I can take it. Squeeze as hard as you need to." He really couldn't complain about a sore hand while she was pushing two babies out of her body. Shifting position slightly, he moved his other hand to rub her back a little, glancing over at the tricorder to make sure the readings were still as they should be.

[Vacation Home - Kerelia] He always knew the right words to say even if she had been feeling terrible about the whole thing and how she had needed to say it now whilst it was still fresh in her memory. Lea knew that she shouldn't have felt so guilty and with Riyo's love and reassurance, she was able to finally push it back to the recesses of her mind. To be forgotten as the most important thing right now was to have these babies and there would be time to talk and recover later. " I won't" she responded, soothed by what he had said, before she felt him wince slightly at what she had done. Lea knew that she had hurt him but considering the circumstances, it was nothing compared to what she was going through. " Okay" she panted as another contraction quickly followed the last one. Sighing slightly in relief as Riyo then began to rub her back and with how things were progressing, Lea didn't think it would be long before she would need to push.

[Lt. Paawin Riyo - Kerelia - Vacation Home]Riyo continued to rub her back and squeezed her hand in return whenever another contraction hit, and silently counted the time that passed between them. Occasionally he would dart his gaze to the tricorder to make sure everything was still progressing without complications, even though he knew there would be an audible alert if something changed. When she was ready, he kissed the top of her head and released her hand and readied the instruments he would need to cut and clamp the umbilical cords. His heart began hammering in his chest, and he shifted his position and took her hand once more. "Alright, Imzadi... It's time to push."

[Vacation Home - Kerelia] Not exactly being a novice at this, did go some way in helping Leanna focus between breathing, squeezing Riyo's hand and riding each contraction until she was given a small reprieve. The added bonus of Riyo also rubbing her back as well as the continued effects of the pain relief, also allowed the Betazoid to remain in control and not give in to any fears that lurked in the recesses of her mind. On it went and then it was time for her body to do what nature intended as Riyo moved away and prepared for what was next. That feeling was one that she hadn't forgotten and it would likely stay with her for some time. " Okay" she breathed and then her body took over and began to push.

[Lt. Paawin Riyo - Kerelia - Vacation Home]Now was the time he needed to step off the line and be a doctor. Giving her hand another reassuring squeeze, he set it down on the edge of the tub before reaching both his hands into the water. Downside to her being in the bath was that he couldn't be in front of her, but so long as everything continued smoothly then this angle would work well enough. "You're doing great, love. I can feel a head," he assured her with a smile. It wasn't too much longer before the first of the twins slid into the water. Riyo swiftly lifted the baby up with one hand and reached for the instruments with his other, the next several steps happening swiftly due to his experience in the clinic. Thankfully, the child started crying almost immediately, and it was only a matter of moments before Riyo had them cleaned off and wrapped in a towel. "We have another son..." he told Leanna with a bright smile. Suddenly realizing another downside to their current situation... There wasn't anyone else to hold the newborn, and she wasn't in a position to take him yet. Tenderly and regretfully setting him down on the floor, he reached back into the water. "This one will be easier. Just a few more," he encouraged her.

[Vacation Home - Kerelia] It felt like nothing else mattered and blocking out everything other than Riyo and what her body was doing was instinctive in order to help Lea process it all. Concentrating took on another aspect all together as Riyo gave her hand another gentle squeeze before speaking words of encouragement. There was a moment of clarity and relief as Lea gave birth to their first twin. Knowing it wasn't over yet and that this was a temporary break, Lea smiled as Riyo told her that they had another son before she heard that wonderful cry. " A son that's just ... perfect" she managed to blurt out happily upon seeing her Imzadi's smile as well as the miracle that had just happened. Of course she wanted to hold him but given the situation, they had to do the best they could until his sibling arrived. " I hope so and okay" she responded before she began to deliver the second twin.

[Lt. Paawin Riyo - Kerelia - Vacation Home]The continued cries of the tiny bundle beside him flooded Riyo with a mixture of emotions, but there was still one more to bring into this world, so he needed to focus. Seconds passed like minutes, or perhaps it was the other way around, and suddenly the baby's confused cries turned into panicked wails. A split second later, an alert sounded from the tricorder, and fear clutched him as he glanced over at the screen. "The baby's going into distress. I know you're tired, but I need you to push as hard as you can." Athough he maintained a calm demeanor, there was urgency in his voice as his gaze locked onto hers. It was too late to transport to a medical facility, and he didn't have any way to retrieve the baby manually.

[Vacation Home - Kerelia] The cries from their newly born son resonated within and around Leanna as she fought the growing tiredness in order to bring his sibling into this world. Convinced that it would be just as easy, Lea realised that she had been wrong as it seemed to take longer and then when their son's cries changed, before the alert sounded, Lea had to fight against the rising panic. Riyo's words only added to that and yet Lea knew that she couldn't give up or give in. She may not have answered him verbally but the noise that she made, almost animalistic in nature as she willed her body to push harder, would be enough to let him know that she was doing her best. Losing track of time once more, Lea hoped that it was enough, praying that the second twin was okay.

[Lt. Paawin Riyo - Kerelia - Vacation Home]Time seemed to stand still as mother and son's voices echoed in the bathroom, drowning out Riyo's words of encouragment. After too long, but finally, the second twin slid into his hands. Riyo moved even quicker than he had the first time, his heart clenching in his throat as he looked down at the baby girl that wasn't crying or even opening her eyes. He didn't say a word, and later would regret not informing Leanna of what was happening, but all of his attention was now on saving a life that hadn't yet begun. Cleaning her face, clearing her airways, pressing his fingers rhythmically against her tiny chest... Riyo lost count of how many beats had passed, but suddenly tiny arms flailed in protest and a disgruntled whimper sounded. The baby in his arms scrunched up her face and kicked his hand away. Riyo laughed in relief and brushed his fingers over the baby's cheek. "Don't you ever scare me like that again, Lira..." he said quietly, before turning his gaze to Leanna once more. "She's fine... But we'll need to keep a close eye on her for a few days."After he finished cleaning off their daughter and wrapping her in a soft towel, he cradled her carefully in one arm and gently picked up their son - whose cries had calmed the moment his sister's had begun. "Feel ready to hold one?" She would need a few minutes to rest before she could move to the bedroom, but the shape of the tub would support her well enough to hold one of the babies she had just brought into the world.

[Vacation Home - Kerelia] The effort of bringing the second twin into existence from the warmth of her womb, had exhausted Leanna further. But then it was over and the Betazoid strained to hear the baby's cries, waiting for that sign just like she had received from their little boy. When none came straight away, Leanna was simply terrified, wondering if it had been something that she had done. Times like this were never straightforward and as fearful as she was, Lea trusted Riyo to do what he needed to do. Then a sound that was magical and so precious washed over her as Riyo laughed with sheer relief and told her that they had another daughter. Of course she had heard him whisper her name and understood why they needed to be cautious over the next few days. " I'm glad as I worried there and definitely we will" she replied in agreement. When asked if she was ready to hold one of their babies, there was no hesitation from Leanna as she sat up a little more, resting against the back of the tub. " Yes I'm ready ... I'll start with our precious Leren".Lea wanted to spend equal time with both children and knew at the moment, that she couldn't hold both until she was able to move to the bedroom.
