Beauty and the Beasts

Curtis rubbed her head.

“Aiyah!” Bai Qingqing suddenly let out a loud cry.

Curtis immediately released his grip. He looked at her and anxiously asked, “Did I hurt you?”

Bai Qingqing opened her eyes wide and put her hand on her stomach, saying, “No, my stomach hurts… Aiyah, it’s so painful.”

“You’re going to give birth?”

Curtis immediately carried her up and walked over to the bed, putting her on the animal skin. He then covered her with a blanket and tried to help her remove her pants.

Bai Qingqing twisted her body to dodge it. Having given birth to a litter of leopard cubs before, she was considered to have some experience now. She said to Curtis, “It won’t be so fast. I’ll only start to give birth after my water breaks.”

“Water?” Curtis threw her a dubious glance and stopped trying to take off her clothes. His usually cold eyes suddenly had a hint of anxiety in them.

“Then, how long will it be before you give birth?”

Bai Qingqing bore with the pain and thought about it before saying, “I think I was in pain for about half a day the other time before I gave birth.”

However, this time around, the pain was really great. It wasn’t just her stomach that was hurting, but her back as well. There was a sinking feeling.

“I’ll go call the doctor.” Saying that Curtis wanted to get up, but she quickly held onto him.

“No need.” Bai Qingqing panted and said, “There’s nothing he can do even if you call him over now. Let’s wait a little more.”

The most important thing was that Harvey was a male. Bai Qingqing decided that she wasn’t going to call for him if she could help it.

Curtis clenched his fists tightly and held back the impulse.

A few thuds rang out in the tree hole and a mature leopard climbed up, his eyes filled with agitation and anxiety.

Parker had never made so much noise from climbing before. She thought that Winston had come back. When she saw that it was a leopard, she was stunned for a moment.

The leopard ran over to Bai Qingqing, turned into his human form, and sat on the bed. He grabbed Bai Qingqing’s hand and said, “Are you going to give birth? How is it going? Does it hurt?”

Parker felt regret to have missed the leopard cubs’ birth. This time around, he must stay by Qingqing’s side throughout.

Bai Qingqing was amused by him and felt the pain in her stomach lessen. She said, “It seems like it doesn’t hurt now. I can’t give birth.”

“Huh?” Parker was stunned.

“Pffft!” Bai Qingqing burst out laughing. “Foolish leopard.”

Parker’s eats twitched.

“Help me up. Walking can help in giving birth,” she said. She had seen this from the movies and had used it when giving birth to the leopard cubs. The birth then was very smooth. Therefore, she naturally had to do the same this time around.

Bai Qingqing really wanted to stop An’an for another month. If she were to give birth now, there was a high possibility that it was Winston’s child.

Both Parker and Curtis hesitated for a while and only helped her up together after seeing that she really didn’t seem to be going into labor.

The labor pain continued, and Bai Qingqing’s face broke out in a layer of sweat when she stood up. She leaned on Curtis and said to Parker, “Go watch over the fire. I’ll call you when I’m going into labor.”

Parker hesitated for quite a while and was then thrown out of the tree hole by Curtis.

Bai Qingqing walked to and fro in the tree hole. To ensure that she had the strength to give birth, she would eat some food every two to three hours. Even when night came, she still wasn’t going into labor. She fell tired from walking and fell asleep after relaxing.

The sky had already turned dark. Both Parker and Curtis stayed by Bai Qingqing’s side to watch over her.

This child was a mammal beastman, and neither male had experience in this.

Parker held onto Bai Qingqing’s hand, brought it to his mouth, and kept on kissing it. He said, “Will Qingqing sleep until the middle of the night before going into labor again this time around?”

“I’m not a mammal beastman,” Curtis said.
