The next morning, Huo Yun Chen accompanied his wife to the hospital.
To avoid Xia Yu's colleague, Lin You had booked an appointment farther than the hospital Xia Yu had worked at.
The couple showed up at the hospital in masks covering their faces.
Their bodies were rigid and they were looking absolutely suspicious.
Fortunately, they did not have to queue and were led straight to meet the doctor. The doctor asked Xia Yu a few questions and finally, Xia Yu was taken into the examination room.
After a few minutes of waiting, the result came out.
Huo Yun Chen and Xia Yu stared at the doctor's smiling face with a dazed look on their face. Then, Xia Yu took the report on the table and read it again. As a nurse, she was very familiar with the report.
It was really unexpected that she would be really pregnant.
After thanking the doctor, the couple finally left the hospital. Huo Yun Chen's phone continued to ring. He glanced at the caller ID and saw that it was his mother. However, Huo Yun Chen did not pick up her phone call.
At this time, there was a much more important thing for him and his wife to discuss.
After sending a message to his mother that he would call her back, the atmosphere in the car turned quiet. Huo Yun Chen turned to Xia Yu and held her hand tightly.
"We... never discussed this matter about having a child before," Huo Yun Chen spoke. "This kid appeared too sudden."
Xia Yu placed her hand on her abdomen and thought about the life that started to form in her tummy. She stared at the man for a long time and spoke carefully. "Yun Chen, do you want this baby?"
His expression turned serious and his hand tightened around hers. "I want it. It's the baby that will be born between you and me. Of course, I want it. However, Xia Yu... this is your body. If you don't want it. If you don't think that it is time to have a baby, then, I'll listen to you."
"I have been thinking about it since last night," Xia Yu spoke.
After the Chinese physician had diagnosed her, Xia Yu could not stop thinking about it. She does want to have a child between her and Huo Yun Chen.
Moreover, each time that she had seen Song Xing Xing's twin girls, she had also thought that she wanted to have an adorable baby like Lu Jing and Lu Xia.
"What did you think?" Huo Yun Chen asked.
"I think, if I am really pregnant, then I would love to keep the baby. But of course, I want to know your opinion too."
His eyes lit up when he heard her answer. "Then, we're keeping the baby?"
Xia Yu laughed when she saw his expression. "Mmm..." She nodded. "It looks like it."
Huo Yun Chen pulled his wife into a hug and pressed his lips on her cheek. "Xia Yu, thank you."
"Mr. Huo, it looks like you have to work hard for the baby's milk and diapers money."
Huo Yun Chen laughed. "Un. I will work hard and make more money for our family."
A thought came to her mind and suddenly, the smile on Xi Yu's face froze. "Yun Chen, what do you like? A boy or a girl?"
Xia Yu recalled her parents' preference treatment between her and her brother. She began to worry that if she gave birth to a baby girl, would Huo Yun Chen still like the baby?
What if the baby received the same treatment as her? What if her in-laws preferred a boy as well?
Huo Yun Chen pulled away and stared at her face for a long time. He placed a hand on her cheek and caressed his thumb on her cheek softly.
Seeing the worry in her eyes, Huo Yun Chen could guess what she was worried about. "Xia Yu, whether we will be having a boy or a girl, I will still like the baby. I promise that I won't treat you and our baby badly."
The two of them headed home and announced to their family the good news. Of course, the happiest person was Mother Huo.
It was really double happiness for the Huo family. Their son had successfully abducted a daughter-in-law for them and they were expecting to have a baby soon.
Now that her son was married, Mother Huo was expecting to hold her grandchild quickly.
She had already made her plan.
Both Huo Yun Chen and Xia Yu were busy people. Their line of work would demand a lot of time from them. Mother Huo was not a busy person and would love to look after her grandchild.
...
The baby came out a week earlier than scheduled. The moment her water broke, Huo Yun Chen started to panic. It was Xia Yu who had to calm him down and instructed him to get the bag and drive over to the hospital.
She spent half a day in the labor room before she finally gave birth to a healthy baby boy.
The moment Xia Yu looked at the baby, her tears came out.
It was still an unbelievable experience to give birth to another life.
Xia Yu hold the baby in her arms and thought that he was the cutest baby she had seen. His skin was still red and wrinkly. But the shape of his lips really resembled his father.
It made her wonder if her son was going to be a good singer like his father.
Perhaps, it was because of how she was treated during her childhood, but seeing the baby, Xia Yu made a promise to herself that she would look after him very well.
This baby will live in a healthy environment and had all the love that she could give to him.
"Don't cry." Huo Yun Chen tried to coax her. A thought came to his mind and he started to worry. "Is your wound hurting? Should I go and call the nurse."
"No." Xia Yu sniffled. "I just thought that the baby resembled you a lot."
Huo Yun Chen looked at the wrinkly baby and his lips started to twitch. Was his wife saying that he looked ugly?
"Huo Yun Chen, why didn't he look like me? Am I not the person who carried him for months?" Xia Yu asked. "It must be because of you. You make me look at your face too much during my pregnancy."
He looked at his wife helplessly. Although he wanted to voice his complaint and give her a logical explanation, he still remembered that his mother had told him that a woman's emotion can be a little unsteady after giving birth.
"Well, it is my fault," Huo Yun Chen decided to agree with her. "But isn't this is also a good thing? Didn't you say that you like to look at my face the most?" His voice was soft and coaxing.
Xia Yu blinked. She stared at his face for a while and sniffled again. "Well, you are indeed very good-looking." Thinking that her son would also grow up to be a good-looking person, Xia Yu was not as aggrieved. "My son will grow up and become a handsome boy."
Huo Yun Chen finally heaved in relief when he saw that his wife had stopped crying. He wrapped his arms around her shoulder as he teased the baby in her arms.
Feeling the warmth around her body, Xia Yu looked up to her husband. Thinking of how they were going to be a family of three right afterward brought so much joy to her heart.. As long as these two men continued to stay by her side, they will continue to live a happy life.
