Best novel online free at novelhall.com or NovelTeam.Net

After a while, the husband and wife left the hospital with mixed feelings. Once they entered the vehicle, the two continued to stay in silence.

Previously, the two might have talked about this matter, however, now that they found out that she was indeed carrying a child, both of them were unable to react. 

The news was a little unexpected and it took them a while to process the news.

Edith turned to her husband and the two looked into each other's eyes for a long time, as if they were searching for something. Suddenly, her lips curled into a smile. Edith stretched her hand to touch his face. "What are you thinking about?"

There were a lot of things in Neil's mind at this moment. 

The last time, due to his selfishness, he had decided not to use protection. At that time, he had thought that if they had a child together, perhaps, Edith would not run around and continued to stay by his side. 

He did not think that from that one time, the two would really have a child.

Although the two of them have been living together for a while, Neil found that living together as husband and wife gave him a different feeling. He was starting to enjoy the life of a newlywed, but now that his wife is pregnant and Neil did not know what he should think.

He had the intention to let her get pregnant with his child, but now that she was carrying his child, Neil found that he was a little helpless.

After all, he still wanted to enjoy their newlywed life, ah.

"We're going to be parents," Neil spoke each word slowly.

The smile on her lips stretched up wider. "Yes."

He was affected by her smile and subconsciously, the corner of his lips curled up. The look on her face showed how happy and excited she was with the news. Seeing the look on her face, Neil was very relieved. At least, his wife was not angry that she had really gotten pregnant after that night.

Edith cocked her head sideways. "Are you not happy with this news?" It took him a while to reply to her and Edith was a little worried by his slow reaction.

"Of course I'm happy." Neil hugged her tightly and kissed her forehead. When he pulled away, there was a little frown on his face. He did not like it when his wife think that he was not happy with the news. "I was just worried. There are too many things to consider" He continued to look at her and thought of something. "How are you? Are you uncomfortable?"

Edith let out a little giggle. "I'm fine. The doctor said, after a few days, I might start to get uncomfortable."

Neil could still remember how his brother, Adam, had come over at him with worry when his sister-in-law was pregnant with Hazel. Hazel's mother had a severe pregnant reaction. She was unable to eat well and had to stay at the hospital for a certain period of time. 

When he imagined his wife going through the same thing, Neil was a little uncomfortable. He did not want his wife to go through such difficulties.

"Next time, we should ask the doctor for things that a pregnant woman should watch out for," Edith said.

The frown on his face deepened. "Let's break the news to mom. I am clueless about what to do. At least with mom around, she would know what to do."

Edith nodded and quickly agreed with his opinion. Although she was good with children, Edith was really clueless about what she should or should not do as a pregnant woman.

Neil let out a sigh and continued. "Back then, after Claire gave birth to Hazel, I did not dare to hold her because Hazel was too small. I don't know if I'm going to be a good dad." A helpless smile curled on his lips. "Do you think I can do it well?"

"Of course you will." Edith leaned over to peck at the corner of his lips. "You've been great with Hazel. I know that you are going to be a great father." She reached for his hand and held it tightly. "Let's do our best together to be good parents alright?"

Once the two of them had calmed down, Neil finally drove away from the hospital.

Edith glanced at her husband as he was focusing on his driving. She took a deep breath and the doctor's words and reminders replayed in her head. 

It was still a little strange to find out that she was pregnant. Edith put her hand on her stomach and suddenly was in a daze.

The thought that she was going to be a mother both excite and frightened her.

After a while, Neil drove into a mall and parked.

Seeing that it was a little too early, Neil decided to take his wife out for dinner. Moreover… when she started to have a pregnancy reaction, there will be a lot of food that she would not be able to eat. 

Just as they were walking around to find a place to eat, they went past a shop and the two decided to stop by and look around. Seeing the cute baby stuff displayed, Neil suddenly had an impulse to buy everything.

"It's still early to buy the stuff for our baby," Edith said.

Neil felt his heart trembled when he heard her words. 'Our baby' sounded very good for him to hear. 

"Let's wait until we know the gender of the child before we start buying stuff," Edith said. "We have to consider buying stuff that we actually need. Or else, we won't have a place to keep the baby stuff."

Neil heard her words and pondered about their apartment.

For years, he had found it convenient to stay in his apartment as a single man. When his brother passed away, Neil had decided to look over his niece. And now, he is a married man and was going to have a child soon.

Soon, it would be a little unsuitable for them to live in the apartment. It would be best if they stayed at a bigger place.

As the thought came to his mind, Neil made a mental note to look for a new place before the child was going to come out. He soon thought about the child's nursery and knew that he will have a lot to do next.

When he snapped out of his trance, Neil saw that his wife was holding a blue baby boot. The boot was so tiny and Neil could not imagine that anyone was going to fit into that.

Suddenly, Edith turned around and smiled at him. She held up the boot for him to see and asked, "Hubby, what do you think? Is this nice?"

Neil nodded absentmindedly.

Then, Edith turned around and took out another pair of pink boots.. She held both boots in each hand and gave him an inquiring look. "What do you think we'll be having? Do you think we'll be a boy or a girl?"
