Chapter 38 Performing Ultrasound
They went out of Dr Allen’s consulting room, and then Mia took her phone and dialed her husband’s number. When it was connected, she said, “Baby, please come to the hospital with Dad and Mom. There is something that I want to share with you.” Her husband started to panic and asked, “What are you doing in the hospital, Honey? Are you sick?”
Mia smiled and replied, “Please come and see for yourself.” Her husband was so scared he quickly called his parents to join him at the hospital. His parents asked their driver to take them to the hospital. They arrived at the same time. They rushed to where Mia and Cathy were sitting. Brad was so scared, he hugged his wife tightly and asked, “What is wrong, Sweetheart?”
Mia greeted her father-in-law and her mother-in-law with respect and said, “Dr Allen conducted a blood test, and he wants to discuss something with my family. Hence, I asked you to come to give me support.” Then she asked them to follow her. Brad’s parents didn’t hate Mia, but they wanted to have grandchildren to pass their wealth to them.
Then they went to Dr Allen’s consultation room. He greeted everyone and asked Mia to lie on her back. He applied gel on her abdomen, and then he performed an ultrasound. The ultrasound showed two heartbeats. He smiled and said, “Mr Shelton, congratulations, your wife is pregnant with twins.”
Brad’s mother was so happy, she hugged her husband tightly. Finally, she would be a grandmother. She was glad that her son didn’t listen to her when she asked him to divorce his wife. The Lord had blessed them with twins. Her heart was filled with gratitude to the Lord. She thanked the Lord for answering her prayers.
Brad was so shocked he had tears in his eyes. He looked at his wife tenderly and said, “Thank you my beautiful wife.” Dr Allen wiped the gel from Mia and said, “Mia, please take care of yourself, the first three months is very critical. Try not to lift heavy stuff.” Mia told Dr Allen that she didn’t have an appetite. Dr Allen indicated that she should try to eat vegetables and drink a lot of water to avoid constipation. Also, he suggested that she should eat food with high fibre. Then he prescribed Folic Acid, Ferrous and Calcium for her.
Brad hugged his wife tightly and took her in his arms. He kissed her and touched her stomach. He thanked Dr Allen, and then they walked out of the doctor’s consulting room. They went to the pharmacy to buy Folic Acid, Ferrous and Calcium. Brad looked at his wife tenderly and asked, “Did you feel any pain after I left home?”This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.
Mia shook her head and replied, “I was accompanying Cathy because she was not feeling well. Then she asked me to do a blood test with her.” She looked at Cathy with suspicious eyes and asked, “Did you already know that I am pregnant?” Cathy smiled and nodded her head.
Brad’s mother hugged Mia’s arm and said, “I am sorry for asking Brad to divorce you, please forgive me.” She was scared that her daughter-in-law would stop them from seeing their grandchildren. Mia smiled at her mother-in-law and replied, “Mom, its water under the bridge. I will trouble Mom to help me when the babies have been born.” Her mother-in-law was so happy to hear Mia’s words. She was grinning from ear to ear.
Brad’s parents followed them to their son’s villa to celebrate. In the car, Mrs Shelton looked at her husband and asked, “Hubby, do you think Mia would allow us to name our grandchildren?” Her husband touched his wife’s hand and replied, “Mia is a good child, and I think she will allow us that honour. Please don’t put pressure on her, wait for her to ask us.” Mrs Shelton nodded her head and promised that she would wait for their daughter-in-law to approach them.
Since Mia didn’t have an appetite, they decided to order food from her favourite restaurant. When they arrived home, Brad told everyone that Mia was pregnant with twins. They were happy for her. Edwin hugged Brad and congratulated him. Her mother-in-law went to the kitchen to prepare porridge for her daughter-in-law. A few minutes later, the food was delivered.
When Mia saw the food, she was overwhelmed by nausea. She rushed to the bathroom to retch. Brad fed her some water, and he helped her to their bedroom. Her mother-in-law knocked on the door and asked Brad to feed his wife the porridge. Brad thanked his mother; Mia finished the porridge and asked for more.
Her mother-in-law was over the moon when she heard that Mia didn’t despise her food. She finished the second bowl, and then her husband gave her medication and water. Mia looked at her husband and said, “Baby, thank you for not divorcing me when I failed to conceive. Also, thank you for loving me unconditionally.”
Brad hugged his wife and kissed her passionately and said, “I love you so much my beautiful wife. You have made me a happiest man on earth. Sweetheart, do you mind if our parents stay with us for a couple of days?” Mia smiled sweetly at her husband and replied, “I don’t mind my love. They are welcome to stay with us as long as they want. Love, please don’t forget to tell the Collins family the good news.” Her husband kissed her then he hugged her in his arms.
A few minutes later, Mia fell asleep, and then Brad went to the dining room to eat. He was so happy, he looked at his parents and said, “Please don’t go back home yet, keep my wife company. Thank you, Mom, for cooking that porridge for my wife. She really enjoyed it.” His mother was overjoyed, and she was happy that her daughter-in-law didn’t hold a grudge against her.
The following morning, Brad took his phone and dialed an overseas number. When it was connected, he said, “Hello Dad, how are you doing?” Mr Ralph Collins smiled broadly and replied, “Hello Son, we are well. Thank you. How is your family?” Brad smiled and replied, “All is well with us, Dad. We just found out that Mia is pregnant with twins.”
His father-in-law was over the moon and said, “Congratulations Son, I am so grateful to the Lord for remembering our family. I also thank the Lord for blessing the Collins family with a good son like you.” Brad thanked his father-in-law, and they hung up.
