Solovyov in Tsarist Russia 1796

Chapter 514 026 Soloviev becomes a foolish father

For Katya, except that the child always hit her belly from the inside, making her scream in pain, it was relatively stable. Even before the doctor was called, she was still stretching her legs in the gym, and her flexibility was always good.

What worried her husband and the doctor was that her belly was so big. Even if she had a slender figure, it would be very dangerous if she was a petite girl.

It was a good thing that she was relaxed. If she was nervous or had some negative emotions, and knew bad news, these would be troublesome things, especially during this period when medical technology was not advanced.

"Katya, how do you feel now?"

"I'm just a little embarrassed. I have to take off all my clothes first. I want to be warmer."

"It's also for convenience. And at that time, the doctor was stuck on the road because of the celebration. There was really no other way. It was me and the military doctor of the Guards who delivered the baby. The doctor also needs to check your physical condition to confirm whether you can give birth now. If it's safe, just find a midwife with steady hands."

"I know this happened, but I'm not worried. But if you need a midwife, you still have to cover me up."

"Will it be okay if the doctor sees you?"

"I heard that many doctors only see flesh, blood, internal organs and skeletons when they see others, but they are actually already..."

What a strange girl. The doctor is a man. It doesn't matter if he sees her, but he was a little nervous when the midwife came over.

"Well, let the doctor check you later. If it works now, we'll all be worried."

Katya's psychological quality is amazing. Soloviev is already nervous and even sweating.

"A hero on the battlefield is not afraid of any dangerous situation. Why is he nervous when his wife is giving birth?"

"Nothing, it's just a little hot today."

Soloviev said this to hide his nervousness.

Before, it was the lover who gave birth, but this time it was the wife who gave birth, which was indeed different.

And he still valued Katya very much. Even though Katya was a big-hearted child and said that it didn't matter if you went to find that French woman, he really held back and didn't go to Madame Recamier very often, and just kept in daily communication.

"You are still nervous, Mishka. I will be fine. There are so many people here. Although our custom says that the fewer people know, the less pain there is in giving birth, but I feel very happy that you are willing to worry about me like this."

"Yes, Vasily Vasilyevich is here from Moscow."

"Dad is here too? He has been looking forward to becoming a grandfather for a long time, otherwise he wouldn't send people from Moscow to send those toys and baby products. After all, you are Count Alexei's partner, and this kind of things is the most abundant in your family."

"Is it Dad's intention? You can't stop him from doing these things. He is not young anymore. Apart from personal life, what I worry about is the happiness of my children, not to mention that this is the first grandchild. "

"It should be the same in your family, right?"

"Yes, I am the eldest son, so it is natural. But if my stepmother has another child, our child can have a little uncle or aunt."

"That would be very interesting, and it may not be the case in other families. When Dad first saw Amy, he thought she was your sister. Think about it, you look like a green-eyed Frenchman, so it is inevitable to have this wrong feeling. "

After chatting with Katya for a while, Solovyov felt more relieved. It was time for the doctor to come for a check-up.

"Count, you still have to go out now. Don't worry, we are here."

"Okay, just you. God bless everyone, be safe."

After Soloviev came out, he sat down on the side. Now he found that his father, stepmother, and father-in-law and mother-in-law were all very nervous; Yulia was praying silently with a cross in her hand; Prince Christian also came today, and it was obvious that his relationship with his sister was progressing very quickly. Maybe when she graduated from the girls' school, she would face the proposal of the young prince of Mecklenburg; but the remaining children of the stepmother, Polina, Anton, Sofia, and Maria, were curiously looking at the delivery room.

Sophia even asked a question: "Brother, should the baby also be our brother and sister?"

The child's unintentional words made the atmosphere a little relaxed.

"Sonia, the children of your brother and sister-in-law are your nephews and nieces. If they are born by your father and mother, they are your brothers or sisters."

"So that's it!"

She probably thought that all babies were brothers and sisters

As for the youngest in the stepmother's arms, this time it was a brother, named Vasily, which was a tribute to the father-in-law.

Soloviev now also found that the adults in the family were very nervous, but the children were very relaxed. Katya's two brothers were also nervous, but they couldn't help their sister share anything.

And Countess Sofia came with her daughters, and the children also clamored to see Uncle Misha's baby.

Her son Alexander was sent to the General Staff College as a trainee. This child was very smart and might have great potential in the future.

Then there was Pierre, who just sat there and waited.

"Sofia, thank you for coming here at this time. Without your help, there would still be some trouble."

"It doesn't matter, my Pasha, I regard you as a friend, and I also appreciate your talent. You often help anyone in need, so it's not in vain for me to help you connect on Lisa's behalf."

"Her Highness the Queen is the one who took the trouble."

"Lisa also wants to be the godmother of this child. I hope everything goes well. I used to think that giving birth would only hurt. At that time, I always lay there and waited until these years to participate in social activities and help you young couples arrange arrangements. Only when things happen at home do we find that people outside are so worried.”

"Maybe everyone is like this. Yulia and Katya are about the same age. The children from them on down are relatively relaxed."

While he was talking, the sound of Katya screaming in pain could be heard inside.

Fortunately, she had always been relatively healthy. After a while, the midwife had already brought out a baby.

"The countess is pregnant with twins. The baby weighs eight pounds. The doctor is still there."

Solovyov only dared to breathe a sigh of relief. Although he felt happy after seeing his son's words, there was a small problem, that is, Katya was still exerting all her strength. Even for a girl with such good physical strength, she was still Someone needs help.

Moreover, after giving birth to her second child, she was obviously already suffering from physical discomfort caused by physical exertion, and her screams became more and more painful.

At this moment, he was a little nervous again, but the doctor didn't come out to tell him whether he wanted to save the child or the adult, which still made him feel a little relieved.

After a while, Katya stopped shouting and turned into gasping and moaning. Then she heard another baby crying, which made the whole family feel relieved.

"Fortunately, the countess's physical fitness is very good. If it were a less physically fit woman, I might have to have forceps."

The doctor said this because he had experience in handling twins. Many twins were born in the Naval Hospital in the past. They have also developed a set of handling procedures and are rich in experience.

"Besides, it's a girl. You and your wife are really lucky. I've only seen General Komnenos give birth to twins like this once in the past. But the boy is very weak. Unlike the two children in your family, he doesn't weigh as much. It’s so light! Moreover, the child’s breathing is even and his cry is very loud.”

The doctor was also talkative and praised the mother and child. He even gave an expectation that the children would thrive and Katya, as a mother, would recover quickly.

Solovyov doesn’t have to worry. After all, the strict disinfection of the hospital and delivery room environment was still enforced by Paul through his original anonymous petition. Russia’s population growth is higher than expected, especially the drop in maternal morbidity. The infant mortality rate has also dropped, and there are always some factors involved.

Things at home are bound to go unexpectedly, especially if you are well prepared.

However, his movements in holding the child were not as skillful as usual, especially in front of Katya.

"Mishka, you are usually so skillful when holding other people's children. Why do you end up like this when it's your own child's turn?"

"Katya, after all, these are our children, and there are two of them. I have already asked my mother to hold my son."

Speaking of which, Katya is also quite strange. He also calls his mother "Mom", but Solovyov does this in relatively few cases. When he mentions his identity, he always makes it very clear.

"What about naming our children?"

"Of course my son's name is Pavel. We must not forget our roots. After all, His Majesty Paul quickly promoted me from an ordinary officer to the chief battalion commander of the Guards."

"What about my daughter? Our plans may have to change slightly."

"In fact, there is no need to consider these things. Regardless of the date of the patron saint, it is most appropriate to name her Elizabeth. We can come together because of the help of Her Royal Highness the Queen."

"That's good. If you want to choose another name, you still have to wait, wait."

Solovyov was fine, but Count Sergei and Prince Vasily were so happy that their daughter-in-law (daughter) gave birth to two children.

This is not surprising. After all, the two of them have been inseparable since their wedding. They spent almost every day together in the first half month, so it was inevitable that this would happen.

The accident finally happened here. Katya still feels a little weak and needs someone to take care of her. The elders in the family are now starting to focus on the child. This kind of situation will inevitably happen everywhere, especially in aristocratic families who still value heirs. of.

Count Sergei even said unconsciously: "Ah, it's a good thing to have a grandson. I have a younger son who can teach him financial management skills. Now that I have a grandson, I, an old man, have to work hard to live. All skills are taught to them.”

The relatively young old countess glared at her husband and started to twist his arm.

"Misha is a child with great potential. The Anton I gave birth to is enough for you to 'train'. Your grandson will inherit Misha's career in the future. How can he learn your skills as a gatekeeper?"

Speaking of this, the old count realized that his family was no longer a little baron without a certificate in the countryside of Ryazan, but a new noble with some reputation in Petersburg. If this eldest grandson can grow up healthily, his future will still follow his eldest son.

Moreover, the status of the father-in-law is there.

"Well, Amy, we have Anton and a younger Vasya, at least I am not worried."

Prince Vasily was also a little emotional. Although everyone said that his father-in-law Sergei and his son-in-law Misha were "traitorous businessmen", their minds were not so "traitorous", but they got along well with their family.

"In this way, we can relax a little, let the children rest."

Of course, not including the little babies who were peeking out. Before, there was a youngest brother who had to be held by several girls in turn, but Anton was a bit serious.

Now, together with the daughters of Countess Sofia, several girls surrounded the crib and looked at the two children.

They also grabbed Yulia. There was always an older sister here, and they could still ask questions as curious babies.

Although, they had asked many times before when the countess gave birth to children.

This time, they were more concerned about the eyes of the two babies. What color were they?

But considering that Katya had blue eyes and Solovyov had green eyes, there was a high probability that they would still have green eyes.

"Okay, Pasha and Lisa are still too young, their eyes will always open, you can come and see them when the time comes, okay?"

"Okay!"

After all, these children were taken away. The biggest advantage of the brother's house was probably that there were many rooms and many fun places, and there were always places to distract them.

Solovyov took care of Katya on the side and personally held the warm broth.

"You need to replenish your nutrition, and don't be disgusted by the oil."

"Master, you should go and rest. We servants should take care of the lady."

"I know, Olga, you only need to stay here at night. I will take over when I go out in a few days."

"Someone will have to take care of her at night. Master, who is more suitable to stay here?"

"When Adela comes back, you can find her."

Speaking of which, Adela was delayed because of her long trip, and she will not be back for two days at the earliest.

Although she recognized Adela as her adopted sister, no matter what, her identity was between family members and servants, and she was more responsible for taking care of her sister-in-law.
