“But, if you decide to keep this child, you have to pay special attention. Mrs. Lambert was once pregnant, so you should know the precautions for the first three months of pregnancy. You also have to pay attention to this child. After all, Mrs. Lambert has been worried recently and is not in a good condition.”
“Okay, Dr. Siegel. We understand what you mean. We will go back and consider it.” Derek nodded at Bentley.
Serina and Derek stood up and left the hospital.
Derek sent Serina home.
Although it was expected, Serina was still a little absent-minded. This child had come too suddenly.
Originally, they wanted to get prepared for another child. Beyond expectations, this child caught them unprepared and even made them terrified.
Cherry and Blueberry were studying in their room. Derek directly brought Serina back to the bedroom. In the bedroom, Serina leaned on Derek’s shoulder.
Derek was about to speak when his phone rang.
“I see. I will go to the company in a while.”
“Go for your work. I’m fine,” Serina said, looking at Derek.
“I will stay with you for a while.”
“You can go back to work. We should consider whether to keep this child or not. Let’s discuss it later tonight.”
“Alright, we’ll discuss it later tonight. I’ll take my leave then,” Derek said after consideration.
After he left, Serina sat alone in the room.
To be honest, no mother would be willing to abandon her own child. Moreover, they wanted to have another child.
However, Serina indeed had a lot of scruples.
After lunch, Serina took a nap with two children in the room.
Cherry moved around and didn’t want to sleep. She never liked to take naps.
“Mommy, I want to ride a horse. Can you be my horse?” Cherry said as she prepared to sit on Serina.
Serina hurried to hug Cherry. “No,” she said.
“Why? In the past, I could sit on your body.” Cherry was a little unhappy.
“Then if I have a baby in my belly, will you still sit on it?”
Although Serina had not accepted the fact that she was pregnant, she started to take precautions.
“Then I won’t sit on it! Mommy, you have a baby in your belly?” Cherry asked in surprise.
Upon hearing the word “baby”, Blueberry also raised her head to look at Serina.
Serina did not want the children to know about her pregnancy before she decided whether to keep this child or not.
It would be cruel to let them know it if they decided not to keep this child.
“I’m not pregnant with a baby.” Serina forced a smile.
“When will mommy have a baby?” Cherry said as she touched Serina’s belly.
“Do you want a younger brother?” Serina looked at her two daughters lovingly, “Blueberry, do you want a brother too?”
Blueberry nodded. “Yes, I do. Doesn’t daddy want a baby too?”
“Mommy, you should give birth to two boys, one for me and the other for Blueberry.”
Serina shook her head. “The baby boy is not yours or Blueberry’s. He belongs to all of us.”
“I want a younger brother too. Mommy, have a baby soon, okay?”
“Why are you in a hurry?”
“This year is the second year for Blueberry and me to be in kindergarten. We will graduate when we are two years older. Then we will go to primary school. At that time, we will have no time to stay with our younger brother. Primary school students are very tired.”
Cherry drawled.
“Hey. Why are primary school students tired? I’m the one who’s tired, okay?”
They hadn’t even entered primary school yet, but they began to complain. Serina didn’t know what to say about her daughter.
Serina looked at Blueberry. “Blueberry, tell me why you want a younger brother.”
“There’s no reason. We have too many girls at home, so we should have more boys. But she’s right. When we go to primary school, we have to do homework every day. How can we have time to stay with our younger brother? Especially, Cherry has to spend a few hours doing homework.”
Serina was also confused. The children were so eager to let her have another baby. If she killed this child, it might take nearly two years for the next child to be born.
In these two years, the children would keep asking her to give them a younger brother.
It was all Derek’s fault for talking about the baby boy in front of them so early!
“Alright, hurry to go to sleep. In the future, you have to be models for your brother. You can’t be naughty and you have to take a nap.”
Serina gently patted Cherry on the back.
“Then Mommy must have a baby as soon as possible.” Cherry closed her eyes.
In the evening, Serina settled the two children.
Derek and Serina began to discuss the baby in Serina’s belly.
“This child doesn’t come at the right time,” Derek said first.
They lay side by side on the bed. Derek stretched out his arm and held Serina’s shoulder.
“Yes. But who is to blame?” Serina glanced at Derek.
“It’s all my fault.” Derek answered without hesitation, “I’m to blame.”
“It’s not time to blame anyone. We should decide whether to keep this child.” Serina leaned her head on Derek’s shoulder. “What do you think?”
“I… Serina, why don’t we listen to Dr. Siegel and see whether the baby grows well? We have been worried that this child might have some problem since you took medicine for your foot injury. Then we will observe it for a while. If there is really a problem, we have to give it up.”
Serina remained silent.
“I really don’t want you to kill this baby. I checked online. A miscarriage is too harmful to a woman’s body, and it is the same as giving birth. You need to nurse your body well.”
“If so, we can’t go on our honeymoon again…” Serina pouted and said something she most cared about.
“Why?”
“The first three months are the most critical time. It is easy to have a miscarriage during these three months. Moreover, we are worried that there would be something wrong with this child, so we must be very careful. If we go on our honeymoon, we need to take a ship. It’s too tired.”
“That’s true.”
“And I can’t swim in the sea. I can’t participate in any of those activities. I can just sit on the beach and watch the sea and sunrise. And I’d better avoid eating seafood.”
Serina was very clear about the first three months of pregnancy. After all, she was an experienced mother.
“Serina, it doesn’t matter. We can’t go this time. In the future, we can take our son with us. We still have much time for the rest of our lives. There will always be a chance.” Derek turned Serina’s body over.
