Chapter 984 Prenatal Education
Nicholas’ gaze was extremely gentle as he looked at Tessa, who was beaming confidently. In fact, the tenderness in his eyes was so overwhelming that it made it difficult for her to look away from him.
”They’re nice.”
He generously offered his praises to Tessa.
As for Gregory, he, too, applauded and exclaimed with excitement, ”Mommy, you’re amazing!”
Tessa couldn’t be happier seeing that both truly enjoyed her songs.
Shortly after, the whole family chatted for a while before returning to their rooms to rest.
Once they were back in the room, Tessa beckoned Nicholas to wash up. Unexpectedly, Nicholas refused her offer.
”I’m not in a rush for the time being. I’ll give the baby prenatal education first. The doctor said that conducting more prenatal education is very beneficial for the baby. Besides, it can enhance the parent-child bond too. So from now on, I’ll read bedtime stories to the baby every night.”
While he said that, he even sat Tessa down on the bed. Then, he magically took out a prenatal education book and sat before Tessa with a stern face.
Under the light, Nicholas read the story in the book in a melodious voice. Yet, his facial expression was gentle as he read the story to the baby in her belly.
Tessa couldn’t help bursting into laughter after she recovered from her daze. Even so, she felt exceptionally content and wished to live as happily as today forever.
The next day, Tessa got up early to wash up because she had to go for her musical training in the orchestra.
During this period, Nicholas had been attentively by her side, fearing she would bump into something.
Even though Tessa was both amused and exasperated when she saw Nicholas behaving so anxiously, she was still very moved by his love for her.
”You don’t have to be so worried. I do pay attention to these hazardous details, so I’ll be just fine.”
Tessa persuaded Nicholas in an effort to soothe him.
Nicholas nodded in agreement. Still, he didn’t stop keeping an eye on Tessa.
Suddenly, he remembered something and asked, ”Has it been long since we’ve gone for your check-up?”
”Yeah, it’s been a while.’
Tessa nodded after thinking about it.
After Christmas, she was constantly held up by matters in the orchestra. That was why she never bothered to go to the hospital.
As soon as Nicholas heard that, he declared, ”Ask for leave from Miss Sofia. We’ll go to the hospital for your pregnancy check-up.”
Since it was indeed a long time since her last check-up, Tessa readily agreed to his proposal.
Later, the family of three went to the hospital after they finished their breakfast.
In the B-mode ultrasound room, Nicholas and Gregory stared at the instrument that was in front of the doctor.
Through the instrument’s display, they saw the baby curled up as she moved her hands in the first second and stretched her feet in the next, behaving rather actively.
Nicholas’ heart melted into a puddle of goo when he saw this.
Gregory, too, looked at the baby’s movement with his bright eyes. Then, he said happily, ”Daddy, baby sister is so cute!”
Tessa reflexively looked over too. Her eyes were filled with motherly love as she stared at the baby through the instrument’s display.
After the check-up, the doctor came to a conclusion. ”The baby is very healthy. Talk to the baby more if you have time. Also, do some prenatal education. It is already proven that it can improve the baby’s perception of the outside world.”
Nicholas nodded firmly, indicating he understood the doctor’s advice.
Gregory, who was next to Nicholas, also understood the meaning of prenatal education. Thus, he instantly said with excitement, ”Then, I’ll play the violin for baby sister every day.”
Nicholas was still holding the check-up report while they were on their way back.
He couldn’t get enough of looking at the little baby’s ultrasound image.
Although Tessa hadn’t seen Nicholas so silly for such a long time, she felt tickled pink and genuinely loved. Nonetheless, she knew his nature all too well. He’ll only show great value toward the items and people he cares so much about.
After she pondered for a while, she suggested. ”Why don’t you show this report to your parents and let them see what the baby looks like.”
Nicholas nodded, agreeing with her suggestion. Then, he took out his mobile phone, took a picture, and sent it to his parents.
Due to the time difference, Stefania and Tobias only saw the photo the very next day.
Perhaps because they’d seen the baby’s photo early in the morning, the two elders were in a good mood and happily enjoying breakfast in the bright dining room. During the meal, the topic of their conversation revolved around the baby.
”We still don’t know the gender of the baby yet. So why on earth is Nicholas refusing to ask the doctor about the baby’s gender? That way, we can know how to prepare the baby’s room and closet,” Stefania nagged with a joyful smile on her face.
Although Tobias didn’t say much, his facial expression pretty much showed that he agreed with Stefania’s statement.
Kieran couldn’t help but chime in, ”Nicholas definitely won’t ask the doctor about the baby’s gender. If I must say: since our family is wealthy, we can buy clothes for both genders. As for the room, ask Nicholas to renovate two children’s rooms. By the time the gender of the baby is determined, we can transform the other room into a playhouse.”
