Solovyov in Tsarist Russia 1796.

Chapter 514 026 Solovyov Becomes a Fool's Father
For Katya, apart from the fact that the baby always hit her stomach from the inside, making her scream in pain, her life was relatively stable. Even before calling a doctor, she was still stretching her legs in the gym, and her flexibility had always been very good.

What worries her husband and doctors is that her belly is so big. Even though she has a slender figure, if she were a petite girl, it would be very dangerous.

It was a good thing that she was relaxed. If she was nervous or had some negative emotions and heard bad news, it would be troublesome, especially at that time when medical technology was not advanced.

"Katya, how do you feel now?"

"It's just a little embarrassing. I have to take off all my clothes first. I want to be warmer."

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

"I know about this, but I'm not worried. But if I need a midwife, she should cover me up."

"Doctor, are you okay?"

"I've heard that many doctors only see flesh, blood, internal organs and skeletons when they see others. In fact,

What a strange girl. The doctor was a man, so he didn't mind seeing her. Instead, he was a little nervous when the midwife came over.

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

Katya's psychological quality is amazing. At this moment, Solovyov has become nervous and even sweating.

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

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

Solovyov said this to hide his nervousness.

In the past, it was the lover who gave birth to the child, but this time it is the wife, so it is indeed different.

Moreover, he still values ​​Katya very much. Even though Katya is a carefree girl and says it doesn't matter if you go find that French woman, he really held back and didn't go to Madame Recamier very often. He just kept in touch with her on a daily basis.

"You're still nervous, Mishka. I'll be fine. There are so many people here. Although our custom says that the fewer people who know, the less painful it is to give birth, I feel very happy that you are willing to worry about me like this."

"Yes, and Vasily Vasilyevich has come from Moscow."

"Dad is here too? He has been looking forward to becoming a grandfather for a long time, otherwise he wouldn't have sent people from Moscow to deliver toys and baby products. After all, you are Count Alexei's partner, and your family is not short of these things."

"Is this what Dad wants? You can't stop him from doing these things. He's not young anymore. Apart from his personal life, he's also worried about the happiness of his children, not to mention that this is his first grandchild."

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

"Yes, I am the eldest son, so it is natural for me to do so. But if my stepmother gives birth to another child, our child will have a little uncle or aunt."

"That's very interesting. It may not be the case in other families. When Dad first met Amy, he thought she was your sister. Considering that you look like a green-eyed Frenchman, it's inevitable that you would have this wrong impression."

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

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

"Okay, just you. God bless everyone and make sure nothing happens to them."

After Solovyov came out, he sat aside. Now he realized 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 hands; Prince Christian also came today, and it was obvious that his relationship with his sister was progressing very quickly. Maybe when she graduates from the girls' school, she will face the proposal of the young prince of Mecklenburg; but the remaining children of his stepmother, Polina, Anton, Sofia, and Maria were all looking towards the delivery room curiously.

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 more relaxed.

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

"So this is ah!"

She probably thinks that the babies are all brothers and sisters.
As for the stepmother's arms, there was a youngest child, this time a younger brother, named Vasily, as a tribute to his father-in-law.

Solovyov now discovered that all 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 any of the burden.

Countess Sofia came with her daughters, and the children were clamoring to see Uncle Misha's baby.

Her son Alexander was sent to the Staff College as a student. The child was smart and might have a great future.

The other guy was Pierre, who just sat there waiting.

"Sophia, thank you for coming here at this time. If it weren't for you, it would be a bit troublesome."

"It's okay, my Pasha. I treat you as a friend, and I admire your talent. You often help anyone in need, so it's worth it for me to help you connect instead of Lisa."

"It's also Her Majesty the Queen's fault."

"Lisa wants to be the godmother of this child. I hope everything goes well. I used to think that childbirth was just painful. I always lay there at that time. It was not until I participated in social activities over the years and helped young couples like you to take care of household affairs that I realized that people outside were so worried."

"Everyone is probably like this. Yulia and Katya are about the same age, so the children below them are relatively relaxed."

As he was speaking, Katya's screams of pain were heard from inside.

Fortunately, she was in good health, and after a while, the midwife brought out a baby.

"The countess is pregnant with twins. This baby weighs 8 pounds. The doctor is still there."

Solovyov only dared to breathe a sigh of relief. Although he felt happy about his son's words, there was also a small problem. Katya was still trying hard. Even a girl with such good physical strength still needed help.

Moreover, after giving birth to her second child, she was obviously feeling unwell due to the physical exertion, and her cries became more and more painful.

He was a little nervous at this moment, but the doctor didn't come out to tell him whether to save the child or the adults, which made him feel a little relieved. After a while, Katya stopped screaming and started panting and moaning. The baby cried again, and the family finally put down their worries.

"Fortunately, the Countess is in good physical condition. If it was a woman with weaker physical strength, I would have to use forceps."

The doctor said this because he had experience in handling this situation. Many twins were born in the Naval Hospital in the past, so they had developed a set of procedures and were very experienced.

"Besides, it's a girl. You two are so lucky. I've only seen twins like this once before, in General Komnenos' family. But the boy was very weak, unlike your two children, who are both very heavy! Moreover, the child's breathing is even, and her cry is very loud."

The doctor was also a chatterbox. He praised the mother and her two children and even expressed an expectation that the children would grow up healthily and Katya, as a mother, would recover quickly.

Solovyov didn't have to worry. After all, the strict disinfection of hospitals and delivery rooms was the result of his anonymous petition and Paul's forced implementation. Russia's population growth was higher than expected, especially the decline in maternal illness and infant mortality. There must be some factors involved.

Things at home are bound to go wrong, especially when you are well prepared.

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

"Mishka, you are usually so skilled when holding other people's children, why do you become like this when it comes to your own child?"

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

Speaking of which, Katya is also quite strange. He calls his own mother "Mom". However, Solovyov's behavior is relatively rare. Usually when he mentions his identity, he makes it very clear.

"What about naming our children?"

"Of course, my son should still be called 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 our daughter? We may have to change our plans a little bit."

"Actually, there is no need to consider these. Regardless of the date of the patron saint, the name Elizabeth is the most suitable. We can be together because of the matchmaking of Her Majesty the Queen."

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

Solovyov was fine, but Count Sergei and Prince Vasily were extremely happy. They didn't expect that their daughter-in-law (daughter) had given birth to two children.

This is not surprising. After all, they were inseparable after their marriage and spent almost every day together in the first half month. It was inevitable that this situation would occur.

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 revolve around the child. This kind of situation is inevitable everywhere, especially in aristocratic families who still attach great importance to heirs.

Count Sergei even said unconsciously: "Ah, it's a good thing to have a grandson. I have a younger son who I can teach him about financial management. Now I have another grandson. As an old man, I must work hard to live and pass on all my skills to them."

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

"Misha is a promising child. My son Anton is enough for you to 'train'. Your grandson will inherit Misha's business in the future. How can he only learn your skills of guarding the house?"

Having said this, the old count realized that he was no longer an uncertified little baron in the countryside of Ryazan, but a newly-minted noble with some reputation in St. Petersburg. If this eldest grandson could grow up healthily, his future would follow that of his eldest son.

What's more, the status of the father-in-law is there.

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

Prince Vasily was somewhat emotional, although everyone said that his relative-in-law Sergei and brother-in-law Misha had "evil business habits", but their minds were not that "evil", and he got along well with their family.

"This way, we can relax a little and let the children have a rest."

Of course, this does not include the little kids who were peeking out. There was a youngest brother who had to be held by several girls in turn. Anton was a bit serious.

Now, along with Countess Sophia's daughters, several little girls gathered around the crib and looked after the two children.

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

Although, they had asked this question many times before when the Countess gave birth to children.

This time, what they were more concerned about was the color of the two babies' eyes.

But considering that Katya has blue eyes and Solovyov has green eyes, there is a high probability that he will have green eyes.

"Okay, Pasha and Lisa are still too young, their eyes will open eventually, you can come and see them then, okay?"

"it is good!"

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

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

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

"Master, you should go and have a rest. We servants will be responsible for taking care of Madam."

"I know, Olga, you only need to be here at night. When I have to go out later, I will let you take over."

"We'll need someone to take care of it at night, sir. Who would be more suitable to be here?"

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

By the way, Adela's trip was delayed because she was away on a long trip, and she won't be back for two days at the earliest.

Although he acknowledged Adela as his adopted sister, her status was anyway between a family member and a servant, and she was mostly responsible for taking care of her sister-in-law.
