“Don’t worry. I’m here. Get some rest, and we’ll go to the hospital when you wake up,” his voice was naturally cold, but when it was filled with tenderness, it could calm her inner anxiety.
Veronica hugged Mason tightly, “It’s strange. When I went to the hospital to check if I was pregnant, I was scared and hoped that I wasn’t. I always felt that I was too young to be a mother, and I didn’t have the confidence to be a good one. But now, I hope that the baby in my belly is healthy. I… want to be its mother!”
That night, Veronica fell asleep with her face pressed tightly against Mason’s chest, as if she could gain endless courage from him.
The next day, when it was time for her ultrasound, she took a deep breath. Her nerves were even more tense than when she took the college entrance exam.
As she lay on the ultrasound table, the cold instrument examining her abdomen, she felt her heart beating faster and faster until the doctor examining her said that there was a fetal sac and heartbeat.
Finally, the tension dissipated.
However, tears streamed down her face.
Even the doctor performing the examination was startled by her tears and quickly handed her a tissue,
“Why are you crying?”
“I’m so happy to hear that there’s a fetal bud and heartbeat,” Veronica said. This step can be considered a milestone in pregnancy, as some natural miscarriages occur at this stage, resulting in the loss of the baby.
“Don’t worry, the fetal bud and heartbeat of the baby are good now. It must be a healthy baby,” the doctor said.
“Thank you,” Veronica said.
When Veronica came out of the ultrasound room, Mason rushed up to her and asked, “What’s wrong?
Is there any problem with the test results?”
“No,” she shook her head and cried tears of joy again. “The baby is very healthy, with a fetal bud and heartbeat!”
“Then why are you crying?” he said, wiping away the tears from her face.
“These are tears of joy,” she muttered.
“But even if they are tears of joy, I don’t want you to cry,” Mason whispered. “When I see your tears, I always feel a little sad.”
Veronica sniffled and tried to stop her tears, while Mason took a tissue and carefully wiped away the tears from her face.
“Okay, let’s go to your house,” Veronica said proactively. “Tell them that we have a baby and we’re getting married!”
“Okay!” Mason said.
In the evening, the Reed family gathered around the dining table, ready to eat. Before dinner, Jasper couldn’t help but ask, “Mason, did you ask us all to come home for dinner tonight because there’s something you want to tell us?”
“Yes, there is something I want to say,” Mason said.
“It’s not that you’re going to get engaged to Veronica, is it?” Jasper said. She only said this casually and didn’t take it seriously.
Even if Mason really wanted to get engaged to Veronica, it would be after they graduated from college.
But then, Mason’s words made the whole family look shocked.
“Not engaged, but married. I’m going to marry Veronica in two months!” said Mason.
“Married?” Jasper’s voice was clearly off-key.
Mick looked puzzled. “Why the rush?”
Jason and Grace were the quickest to recover from their shock.
They looked at each other as if they had guessed something.
“Veronica is pregnant, so I want to get married as soon as possible,” Mason seemed determined to shock them.
Jasper widened his eyes and looked at Mason in disbelief. “Mason, are you serious?”
“Do you think I’m joking?” Mason asked back.
Jasper closed his mouth and felt that he needed time to sort out his feelings.
Pregnant? Veronica is pregnant?!
“Does that mean I’m going to be an aunt?” 11-year-old Jasmine asked innocently. Although she is now
150cm tall, her face still has a childish look, with chubby cheeks that make her look very cute.
“Um…yes, you’re going to be an aunt,” Jasper replied nervously. And she was going to be an aunt, and her parents…were going to be grandparents, which seemed a bit early.
But thinking about the new member of the family who was about to be born, Jasper was filled with excitement.
Thinking about the cute little baby, she couldn’t wait for it to be born so she could hold it!
“Congratulations.” Mick, who had been silent all along, said to Mason and Veronica, “Do you have any specific wedding gifts in mind? If not, I’ll prepare something myself.”
“Ah, thank you,” Veronica said, but the conversation seemed to be moving a bit too fast for her to think about wedding gifts.
“Big brother, it’s up to you for the wedding gift,” Mason said.
“Okay,” Mick nodded.
Grace cleared her throat and smiled at Veronica. “When did you find out you were pregnant?”
“A week ago, but at that time we weren’t sure if the fetus was healthy, so I only told everyone today after receiving the report on the fetal sac and heartbeat,” Veronica said.
“So, about 6 weeks pregnant?” Grace estimated.
“Yes,” Veronica confirmed.
“Although two months is a bit rushed to prepare for a wedding, it’s not impossible. You can ask for whatever kind of wedding you want, and if you have any requirements for getting marri feel free to speak up,” Grace said.
“Auntie Grace, I don’t have any requirements. I just want to marry Mason and safely give birth to this baby. That’s enough for me,” Veronica said.
“You…don’t know how to fight for yourself?” Grace sighed.
“You’ve already given me so much, I don’t need to fight for anything,” Veronica said.
Grace looked at Veronica. Over the years, she had treated Veronica as her own daughter, and she still remembered how young Veronica had protected Mason before he was officially recognized as part of the Reed family.
Without that protection, Mason, who had not yet returned to the Reed family at the time, would have suffered even more.
“Veronica, I’m glad you chose Mason and became my daughter-in-law. From now on, this place will be your true home,” Grace said.
Veronica’s nose felt sour, and she felt a warm sensation in her chest.
After finishing their meal, Grace and Jason went into the study. Grace asked, “Why didn’t you say anything at the dinner table just now?”
“I already said it. They’re getting married, and I have no objections. I’m also looking forward to the birth of their child,” Jason replied. “What about you? Aren’t you happy?”
Grace was taken aback. As a couple for many years, only he could see her true emotions.
“I’m not unhappy. Veronica and Mason have been through so much, and now they’re getting married and having a child. Of course, I’m happy. But I’m also worried. After all, they’re still too young,” Grace said. “Veronica is only 20 years old, and Mason is 18. Many people at this age are still children themselves, but now they have to be parents. I’m worried that they won’t be able to adapt.”
3/3 After all, many things, such as lifestyle, will change when a child is born.
She has encountered many cases where people have experienced severe mental changes due to the unexpected arrival of a child, leading to various mental illnesses.
“If they really can’t adapt, we can naturally help them adapt. Besides, it seems that they are both looking forward to marriage and this child,” Jason said.
“That’s easy to say, but…”
“Okay, don’t think about it anymore.” Jason hugged Grace’s waist and pulled her into his arms. “Don’t always think about the children. Think about me more.”
“Are you even jealous of them?” Grace laughed.
“Yes, I am,” Jason said. “Don’t forget, you promised me that I am the most important person in your heart, and the children can only come after me.”
“…” Grace’s face turned red. The reason why she made such a “promise” was because he shamelessly used some tricks in bed. “How can you still say that!”
“Of course, I can say that.” Jason lowered his head and kissed his wife’s cheek. “This is how you express your love for me the most. How can I not say it!”
“As you get older, your skin gets thicker,” Grace muttered under her breath.
“I’m only thick-skinned with you,” he murmured, “even if we become grandparents in the future, you’ll still have to love me the most, Grace…”
His deep voice was husky and tempting.
Grace looked into his affectionate peach blossom eyes. After all these years, his love for her had never changed.
It was a blessing for her to be able to receive his love. She had been truly happy all these years.
“I love you, Jason. You’re the love of my life,” Grace said.
Their children had their own most loved ones, but for her, the man who would love her with his life was her most loved one.
She raised her hand and wrapped it around his neck, pressing her lips to his.
His Adam’s apple bobbed, and the next moment, he took the initiative to deepen the kiss…
His wife, the love of his life, would always be his.
And he would always be hers!
The Reed family began to prepare for Mason and Veronica’s wedding. As a family of their level, the wedding was naturally not a simple matter.
The wedding venue, the invited guests, the bride and groom’s attire, and the newlyweds’ house, plus the fact that Veronica was now pregnant, there were naturally many things to pay attention
1.
However, the Reed family had no shortage of capable people, and although time was tight, everything was arranged in an orderly manner.
Veronica’s task was to choose a wedding dress, select jewelry, and find a new home for her and her husband-to-be.
Of course, there were people who presented various pictures and items for her to choose from, and as for the new home, someone would drive her there.
All she had to do was get out of the car and see if she was satisfied with the house.
At the same time, while she was looking at the house, there would be someone explaining everything to her.
Overall, everything was easy for her. She could “busy” herself with her wedding, continue her studies, and even be pregnant without feeling tired.
Perhaps it was because of her good mood or maybe the baby in her belly was being considerate, but after reaching the eighth week of pregnancy, she didn’t feel nauseous anymore and was able to eat and sleep well with good spirits.
