Elliot was taken aback by how sudden the news was, after a slight pause, he finally said, "Okay." "Uhm, | was overjoyed when | heard the news. | wanted to tell you yesterday. But it was so late when you came back home. | was afraid that the news might affect you, that’s why | waited until morning. I think we should go to father's house, and tell him the good news after breakfast," said Ruby.
"Okay." After breakfast, both of them drove towards Gary's house.
When both of them walked in, they saw Gary sitting in his chair with an IV in his arm. "Dad, how are you feeling? Did the doctor tell you how many more IVs you need?" asked Ruby as she walked over to her father and took his hand.
"Today is the last time. I have to go for another check-up afterward. Why are both of you here together? Is there something you want to tell me?" asked Gary.
Ruby blushed as she said, "It's not like we never come to see you together! The reason we don't come together so often is that Elliot is too busy! You overwork him!" "Men have to prioritize their career," said Gary as he glanced at Elliot.
"Dad, | have some good news! I'm pregnant, " said Ruby.

"So quick?" asked Gary as he stared at both of them.
"You were the one who kept asking for a grandson!" exclaimed Ruby.
"Haha! I just didn't expect both of you to be so efficient! It is indeed good news. Is it a boy or a girl? You know what, it doesn't matter, the first child can be either a boy or a girl. You guys are still young, you can go for a second and third child," said Gary.
"Dad! | just got pregnant, what's the rush? When are you going for your check-up? I'll accompany you," said Ruby.
"Now that you are pregnant, you should rest in the house. There wouldn't be any problems with my check-up, | can manage on my own. If nothing is wrong with my check-up, let's throw a party to welcome my grandchildren!" announced Gary.
"Okay! What do you think, Elliot?" asked Ruby.
"Sure," replied Elliot.
After a week in the hospital, Avery finally felt that she had fully recovered she went for another round of tests.
The results of her tests were optimistic.
"Wesley, can | leave now? You can't force me to stay another week. | can feel my back hurting from lying down all the time," said Avery.
"With your latest results, | would say that there shouldn't be any problem with you leaving now. But a week ago, your results were less optimistic. God knows, why you kept asking to leave. I've always thought that you were a rational person..." said Wesley.
"Wesley, please stop. | just wanted to get out of the hospital because at that time I felt that I was well enough, but now that I think about it, | might have been a tad bit irrational," pleaded Avery.
"If you don't want to be forced to stay in, don't get sick! Are you sure you don't want a few extra days before you leave for Aryadelle?" asked Wesley.

"I miss my kids too much. If it's possible | want to get on the flight now and see them straight away. But | would miss Hayden when | leave here too, I'll have to make do with the earliest flight out tomorrow," said Avery.
Wesley laughed and said, "Thank god you only have three kids, if you have more, god knows how hard your life would be." "You don’t understand. You wouldn't understand how it feels to be a parent unless you have a kid. Wesley, you should stay here and keep your parents company. Your parents were really worried about you when you went missing," said Avery.
"I prefer Bridgedale," said Wesley.
"But you'll come back right?" asked Avery.
"Yes," promised Wesley.
"You can look for a woman to marry and finally have a kid," said Avery.
"Avery, spare me the whole talk. My parents would surely be all over me once I'm back,I don't need another mother," said Wesley.
