Chapter 298 - Family Planning

Andrea, who had sat up with her husband, slammed her back into the bed, relieved that for one, it was not anything serious and they were not necessarily having triplets. She imagined how difficult it may be to have triplets. It wasn't at all that easy to raise the twins. 

Turning to his wife, Lu Fang asked, "Are you okay, babe?"

"I'm fine, babe." She smiled at him before mumbling, "How could my own sister make a joke like that."

"Sorry. I could not help it," Li Wen said as she took the seat next to the bed before looking up to her brother-in-law, "I thought you were planning to have a one-year break?"

"We intended to... We initially forgot the contraceptives and everything else… is a long story," replied Lu Fang. 

"It's fine. I can understand. I mean being apart from Andy for a long time, not having known how and where she was at, it was probably difficult for you to hold back." She laughed before adding, "And Andy as well, feeling like it was her first time with her husband."

"This time, Lu Fang, you just need to prepare for additional help at home. I will let the doctor know you are awake so they can schedule you for another ultrasound tomorrow morning… I'm sorry, I had ordered for the ultrasound yesterday while you were asleep because you mentioned you had mensuration days back. I just wanted to make sure it was, in fact, the case. It was just a quick peek that the doctor made."

"Yeong and Yanmei will be here soon to visit you, but they are leaving for Korea afterward."

"I had a little blood come out," said Andrea, utterly confused. 

"It happens, and the doctor said it might have been only the implantation stage. It will be explained to you both tomorrow," said Li Wen. 

Hanxi arrived, bringing dinner. He already learned of the good news from the doctor. He happily told Andrea, "I will have another nephew!"

"Nephew or niece, we will find out in four months," Li Wen pointed out to Hanxi while smiling. 

When Yeong and Yanmei arrived, the first thing Andrea heard from her brother was scolding, "How can you be pregnant before us? You should take care of yourself now and make sure you are healthy enough to attend our wedding."

Andrea was already up from the bed, sitting on the round table and eating her dinner. She pouted her lips from hearing Yeong's words.

"Relax, Yeong. Maybe she won't get hospitalized this time. She is only having one baby after all. Her hormones won't get as crazy as the last... I hope," said Li Wen. 

"Congratulations Andy, Lu Fang. I'm sure your mom is happy to learn about the baby," said Yanmei.

"I haven't told her yet, but I'm sure she will throw a party," Lu Fang replied as he put her arm around Andrea for comfort. "It's okay, babe. I will always be with you in every stage of your pregnancy. We will be one big happy family."

They continued to talk for another half an hour before Yeong and Yanmei said goodbye. They had already extended their stay because of Andrea's fainting. Yeong needed to be back due to important matters at work. Li Wen left with them while Hanxi booked a hotel room nearby. 

Only Lu Fang's bodyguards stood to watch outside the hospital suite as they slumbered for the night. 

The next day, Andrea had an ultrasound, and it was then they confirmed that there was only one sac. The couple was told that up to 30% of women experience a small amount of bleeding during the first stage of pregnancy.  

Andrea was discharged from the hospital with prenatal instructions from the doctor. She would have to visit Dr. Qi as soon as possible. 

Before riding the plane, Lu Fang informed Christina and Alfred about Andrea's condition. It did not surprise him that both were overjoyed with the news. 

Lu Fang was tired from a long flight that they did not get to talk last night while they were still at the hospital. Thus, the two took the chance as they were flying to Beijing. 

"Babe, are you happy we are having another baby?" Lu Fang asked while pulling her closer to him. He let her rest in his chest waiting for her response. 

"I'm honestly worried. I remember very little about how I gave birth," said Andrea as she tightened her hold on her husband. "I already had some recollection of how we took care of the twins but really, merely flashes of how I was pregnant."

She then giggled out of nowhere before adding, "I recalled a lot about you and how we made love, though."

They both held their laughter after she let out her thoughts. They simply fully understood each other. 

LF: "It wasn't easy but having the twins and seeing them, makes up for all the sacrifices. I'm sure you will love him or her."

A: "I'm sure I will, babe. I love Chevre and Brie with all my life."

LF: "Babe, maybe everything that happened so far was meant to be. This way, you can remember everything there is to remember."

Andrea laughed at her husband's remark. She was at it so hard that tears welled up in her eyes. She sat up straight to wipe the tears before looking up to Lu Fang. "Babe, I think we are just naturally horny and we constantly want each other. I doubt this has anything to do with fate… We need to have a proper family planning from here on."

"Hmmm," said Lu Fang with a naughty grin. "We won't forget the pills next time."

"Babe, we need to decide how many children we will have and then I'm thinking it's best I will have ligation after our last baby," she said while going back, resting into his chest once again. "Then we don't have to worry about contraceptives and me getting pregnant unplanned."

"I like that idea, babe. Let's stop at three children."

Andrea's eyes grew wide. She was sure enough her husband wanted more than three children. She asked, "Only three? Are you just saying that because you want to have more sex?"

"I'm really not sure, babe. Let's just try first with contraceptives and see how it goes before we decide on something permanent."

"Or we can try vasectomy. It's reversible."

"Okay, babe. We will consider all options, but first," said Lu Fang as he reached out for the blanket. He covered themselves and it did not take long for his fingers to make its way into hers. 

Andrea was shocked. She raised her head to face him before saying, "I can't believe you!"

"Babe, we haven't seen each other in more than two weeks," he reasoned. 

"We had video chat and even video sex," Andrea said while trying to lower down her voice. 

"What? My hand doesn't even come close to yours. Anyway, I promise, I just want to touch you. Nothing more. I'll wait until we get home. I promise," Lu Fang pleaded with his eyes closed as he began to kiss her cheeks and neck. 

Andrea contemplated. She also misses her husband dearly. She looked past the seats in front of them. Thankfully, Hanxi sat rows in front of them and so did their bodyguards.

She turned to him and reluctantly agreed. They both made out and Lu Fang's fingers did his work under the blanket. Still the same, the couple ended up going to the restroom, but this time, it only took them twenty minutes and they quickly got back to their seats. 

The moment they landed, Andrea's said, "We have got to get a new plane."
