The next 40 days after that were hectic.
One after another, the girls went into labor. Thankfully, since Ember was gaining more experience as a midwife and helped each time, the process became smoother and less painful with every birth.
It was a bit embarrassing that I was the only one who wasn't improving at all.
Every time one of the girls went into labor, I turned into a panicked mess. The worst moment came when both Minerva and Hekate went into labor at the same time. I felt faint, shaking like a newborn fawn in worry.
I guess that's one reason Ember didn't allow me inside the Birthing Pool each time?
Handling labor while dealing with a panicked patient wasn't easy, even for Ember. Thankfully, we got through the most dangerous part safely. Everyone gave birth to healthy children, smiling sweetly as they cared for their babies.
One thing I noticed was that all their children looked just like the mothers. None of them looked even remotely like me...
