Nicholas lectured Tessa while massaging her body. Knowing that he was worried for her,
she nodded with a smile. “Don’t worry. I know my limits. If I can’t go on, I’ll take a rest.”
He cherished her more when he saw how persistent she was. Gregory also added,
“Mommy, you need to take care of yourself. Or else, Daddy and I will worry.”
“I understand, sweetheart. You don’t have to worry about me.” She playfully touched his
button nose.
Every night, Nicholas routinely massaged Tessa’s abdomen to help with the correction. Not
only that, but he also massaged her sore legs. Ten days of hard work later, they finally
received some good news.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThat day, he brought her to the hospital for a checkup. During the procedure, the doctor
felt uneasy by the stares from Nicholas and Gregory, but he went ahead and got his job
done.
Soon, the doctor returned to his office and concluded, “The baby is healthy. There are no
major issues.”
“Is the baby’s position corrected?” She caressed her belly and sat across from the doctor
with Nicholas’ help. He and Gregory shot nervous looks at the doctor upon hearing the
question.
The doctor confessed, “The baby’s not fully flipped, but he is getting there. If you keep
working on it, the baby should be fine on the due date.”
The couple let out a sigh of relief. That is good news as long as the baby’s getting there!
They exchanged smiles. Gregory, who was leaning against his mother, looked confused by
the adults’ conversation. “Doctor, is Mommy safe now?”
The child knew nothing about fetal malposition, but he was sensitive toward any
discussion around the topic. When he sensed that everyone was tiptoeing around his
mother, he picked up fast and realized that his mother might risk her life giving birth to his
baby sister.
The doctor was amazed at the level of concern that Gregory showed for his mother. He
rarely met him in person, but Gregory always behaved very well during the consultations,
which was rare for a kid of his age.
Due to his behavior, the doctor took a liking to him and patiently explained, “As long as
your mommy keeps working hard, she will be safe.” “Yay!” The kid was overjoyed to hear
that.
A while later, the family left the hospital. With a wide smile on her face, Tessa held on to

celebrate the good news.”
“Sure. What would you like?” He looked gently at her. She could not think of anything off
the bat and gazed down at her son, who was trotting along. “Sweetheart, what do you
want?”
“I want spaghetti.” Gregory blinked at her adorably. She fell in love with his cuteness and
beamed. “Sure, let’s have spaghetti and go shopping for the baby.”
Nicholas agreed to it because she was in high spirits, and the family walked out of the
hospital. At the entrance, he reminded Tessa, “Wait for me here. I’ll drive the car from the
parking lot, and we’ll go for lunch.”
“Okay. Greg and I will be here.” She nodded with a smile and waved at him.
He could not resist giving his demure wife a peck on the forehead. Her smile widened after
his kiss. Then, he turned to Gregory and reminded the kid, ‘Look after Mommy. I’ll be back
soon.”
“Daddy, you talk too much. Get the car. Mommy will be tired from all the standing.”
Gregory pouted and urged his father to leave.
