Bai Ling burst into tears, her entire body shaking as she laughed and cried at the same time, clutching Qinglan's hand desperately.
"I heard it… I heard my baby…" she whispered brokenly.
"You did it," Qinglan said softly, her own eyes wet. "You were amazing."
But before anyone could fully relax, Grandma Lin spoke again, her voice sharp with urgency.
"Do not relax yet," she said. "There is another one."
The fox husband stiffened, fear and hope crashing together in his chest, while the bear husband immediately brought fresh water, his movements faster now.
Bai Ling cried out again, her strength almost gone, her voice hoarse, but she still nodded weakly.
"One more," her fox husband whispered, pressing kisses to her forehead. "Just one more, my love."
With another long, painful push, another cry filled the room, stronger this time, and a second fox cub was born.
Soft cheers broke out, hands shaking with joy, but again, Lin Muyu's mother did not relax.
