It'll Come Naturally

"Yes, you be careful. Don't drive fast. Let me know when you are home," she said lastly. Pamela then helped Leena with her coat and walked her out of the hall. After saying their goodbyes, she remained by the door until Leena's car disappeared in the distance. She admired Duke a lot whenever she looked at Leena. Leena was so well-educated when it came to these things, thanks to Duke. After their mother was gone, he must have devoted himself a lot! Patricia's little baby grew quite fast. A few days later, Eden had already added a few centimeters to his height. He was so cute and everyone loved to play with him.

Meanwhile, Michelle pondered over her own baby as she watched over Eden with Luke. Tom and Patricia already went out of the ward. The little one had finished bathing and was now playing with them. "Hey, Luke. Will our baby be as cute and handsome as Eden?" asked Michelle. She stroked her large belly. At this rate, her baby was probably about to come out. She had the penguin-like gait of most pregnant women due to her larger size.

"Of course he will. He has me as his father," Luke said in a carefree voice. Luke was by no means being arrogant when he said that. He might not be as sexy as Edward and Rain, yet he was handsome and cool. In other women's eyes, he was also hot.

"Haha! I didn't know you were such a narcissist." Michelle rolled her eyes at him while playing with Eden. She waved his chubby little arms this way and that, and the baby giggled cutely.

"What? Don't you think so? Or do you think your husband is not that good enough?" Luke said. Luke was usually taciturn and silent, but things were different whenever he was with Michelle.

"I didn't say anything. Don't try to accuse me," she said steadily. Michelle stepped backwards while holding little Eden's soft hand. Every time Luke talked to her in such tone, she felt as if she was shrouded in danger.

"Where did they go? They've been out for a while. They'd better not get out of the hospital with their baby still here," Luke said flatly. Luke was terribly too logical and serious in his way of thinking. He was also good at changing topics. They were talking about himself just now but then, he came up with a totally different subject.

"That's not funny at all. Don't make such joke. Would you forget such important thing?" Michelle was mortified as she said this seriously. Luke's apparent joke was terrible. Michelle knew that it would be weird for Luke to behave in such manner. That was not his style. "No, I wouldn't. But, for them, I won't rule out that possibility," Luke replied in a serious voice as if Tom and Patricia had already indeed left their baby and gone home themselves.

"Probably you need some help from Tom. I mean it," Michelle said incredulously and looked at him with unbelievable eyes. She thought that he was just kidding, but from the serious expression on his face, Michelle realized that he might actually mean it. "Who needs help from me? Luke, are you sick?" Tom chimed in from the foyer. He had arrived with Patricia and heard a part of Michelle's words.

"I rarely get sick, you know it. Well, since you're already back, I think it's time for us to leave now," Luke said. Luke was there to keep his wife company for the regular check-up. However, Tom and Patricia needed to run a few errands, so Michelle volunteered to watch over their baby and so did he.

"Did Edward call you?" Tom asked. But that did not make sense. Luke must have informed Edward about his whereabouts. Edward would definitely not call to disturb him now.

"No, he didn't, but it's just lunch time now. My baby needs to have lunch." If if were Rain who said it, that wouldn't be more normal. However, it was Luke who said it and that sounded just as weird. "My baby?" he definitely did not say things like that. "Come on. Your baby doesn't literally 'have lunch'. The baby is not hungry. You are hungry!" Tom said as he rolled his eyes at Luke. He was a doctor. How could Luke be such a show-off right in his face?

"Yes, my baby doesn't have lunch. But his mother needs nutrition. If Michelle doesn't have lunch, my baby would get hungry," Luke retorted smugly. "Don't you underestimate me. I learned these, okay? As a father-to-be, it's the basic knowledge I should know," he added. "You... Fine. Luke. You got me." Tom gave up, for now. Tom was choked in this round.

"You're welcome." Luke's eyes were like little crescent moons as he smiled contentedly. He did not fight the usual way like other people did but instead, he did the unexpected. He learned that from Edward.

"Well, enough, you two. Michelle, what did the doctor say? When is the due date?" Patricia said and then turned towards Michelle. When she saw the two childish men quarrel meaninglessly, she thought them ladies would not join them. "About three weeks. But, I'm not sure." Michelle's pregnancy was a month later than Patricia's. Her baby would probably come out when Eden was one month old.

"Okay. You should take walks often these days. It'll be good for the baby if you get a little bit of exercise," suggested Patricia. Tom always talked about these things within her earshot, and she gradually became more aware of them. Thus, she was able to offer Michelle some advice.

"Yes, thank you. I also heard that natural labor is good for both the mother and the baby. I'll try." Michelle was no longer the former thug and gang member that she had been before. She was more mature now. Just like many mothers, she wanted only the best for her baby. "Yes, I trust you'll have a natural labor. You will make it," Patricia said. Patricia did not have a natural labor but a cesarean one since her body condition did not allow that. However, she hoped that Michelle could have a normal childbirth.

"Let's go, Michelle," Luke said from the other side as he looked at his watch. It was now time for lunch. He couldn't be any more careful when it came to taking care of his pregnant wife.

"Patricia, we're gonna go now. I'll pay you a visit some other day," Michelle said. She knew that Luke didn't like to be around people that much, so she was sensitive enough to also bade for them to leave.

"Okay, take care. Bye!" Patricia said as she watched the two take their leave. She was allowed to leave the hospital this day. She had to stay for more than a week for observation since she had undergone a cesarean birth. If it was a natural labor, she would've gone home in two to three days. The hospital had good facilities and it was nice to stay there, but she felt that it was better at home. She wanted her baby to get used to their house earlier.Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
