Chapter 762 A Boy and a Girl
“I’m your big brother, little baby. We won’t be listening to stories today. I’ll play some music for you, okay?” While speaking, Gregory already had his violin at the ready, and melodious music flowed out of the instrument in no time.
Meanwhile, Tessa and Nicholas snuggled up on the couch, gazing affectionately at their boy.
Sebastian, who stood aside in waiting, was delighted for his master as he looked at the lovely, beautiful scene.
Sometime later, when Gregory was pooped, Tessa had a servant take the child to his room for a quick shower before bed. Meanwhile, she retired to the bedroom with Nicholas.
After a quick shower, the couple snuggled up in bed, and it was then that a thought came to Nicholas. “Your condition’s been looking up lately, so I thought we should get you registered at the hospital tomorrow and go for regular checkups after that,” he said softly.
Naturally, Tessa didn’t oppose the idea, and the couple talked a little bit more before cuddling to sleep.
…
When morning came, Tessa asked Hathaway for a day off after having breakfast.
“Mommy, are you sick?” Gregory was distressed when he learned that they were going to the hospital.
“I’m doing just fine,” Tessa reassured him with a smile while holding his hands. “We’re just going for a checkup, and we’re going to see how the baby is doing in my belly.”
It was only then that Gregory relaxed.
With that, the family of three headed to the hospital.
Nicholas had already made an appointment, so Tessa went straight to her checkup after arriving at the hospital.
They first took a blood test before going down the list of checkups, which all came out positive, and her BMI came out good as well.
Finally, it was the ultrasound, and the doctor asked the loving couple with a smile if they wanted to hear the baby’s heartbeat.
“Can we do that?” Tessa was a little surprised.
“Of course.” While speaking, the doctor amplified the sound, and the rhythmic heartbeat left Tessa in awe.
Nicholas was dumbfounded as well. He goggled at Tessa’s belly, thinking it was miraculous for her tiny belly to be nurturing a new life.
“Is that my sister’s heartbeat?” Gregory looked at the doctor with incredulity, amazed as well.
“It is,” the doctor answered Gregory with a smile before turning to Tessa. “Everything’s looking good with the baby. You just have to come back regularly for checkups.”
Tessa nodded in acknowledgment and left after taking her medical report.
On their journey home, she noticed Nicholas was still reading the ultrasound report, and she couldn’t help giggling. “You’ve been looking at it for so long. Are you not done with it?” she asked.
“Never.” While speaking, he gingerly placed one hand on her belly. “This feels surreal.”
Though he was already a father of one, he was never there when Gregory was conceived, and he thought he seemed to have missed out on a lot of things.
Tessa couldn’t help chuckling to herself, for she had never seen Nicholas behave this way. “This is nothing. Give it a few more months, and there’ll be fetal activity.”
“Mommy, what’s a fetal activity?” asked Gregory, curious.
“It’s when the baby moves inside my belly whenever we talk to him,” Tessa explained, leading Gregory to look at her with amazement. “Really?”
Even Nicholas looked toward Tessa with bafflement.
“Really,” She nodded with a giggle. “You guys will be able to interact with him when the time comes.”
At that, the man and the child began looking forward to the baby’s growth.
A while later, a thought hit Nicholas, and he directed his gaze back to the ultrasound report. “I should take a picture of this. I’m sure they’ll be happy to see it,” he said with a smile.
While speaking, he had already taken the picture and even sent it to his parents.
Meanwhile, back at the Sawyer Residence, Tobias and Stefania had seen the picture Nicholas sent and found it rather miraculous.
“Just imagine how great it would be if it’s a girl. We’ll have a granddaughter then.”
“Yeah, a boy and a girl. It is indeed great.”
