Daddy, Chasing Mommy Back is On Us! novel Chapter 818

The news of Pierre’s retirement offered Selena the solace she had been seeking, and that rendered her tantrum pointless.

A week later, she was discharged from the hospital, and life seemed to have gone back to normal.

It was a quiet night when Pierre pressed his right ear against Selena’s baby bump, waiting patiently for even the slightest of fetal movement. However, the baby was adamant about staying still. Growing tired of being in that position, Pierre finally sat up and gave up on the waiting.

“What’s wrong with the baby?”

“There’s nothing wrong with the baby. Maybe he just doesn’t like you,” Selena teased, then quirked her lips in amusement.

The three musketeers had also taken a liking to listening for fetal movements. Jameson, for one, had dashed over to Selena and was gently caressing the baby bump while saying, “Hello, baby. It’s Jamie here. Did you miss me?”

The baby quickened, and the movement could be seen beneath the skin of Selena’s belly.

Delighted, Jameson let out a laugh as he exclaimed, “The baby misses me! The baby misses me!”

Juniper, on the other hand, whispered, “Baby, it’s me, your sister. I promise we’ll have a lot of fun together when you come out.”

The baby moved as soon as she was done speaking, and she squealed happily. “It moved! It moved! The baby heard what I said!”

Then, it was finally Joaquin’s turn, and he was gazing at the baby bump intently as he said in a tender voice, “Baby, it’s me, your big brother.”

Once again, the baby responded with subtle movement.

At this point, Pierre began to despair.

Selena was quick to comfort him when she saw how crestfallen he looked. “Maybe the baby’s not moving because it’s not used to hearing your voice. I’m sure he won’t be scared anymore after a couple of days.”

Now that Pierre was back, the mission of tucking the kids into bed at night fell upon his shoulders, but while he treated Juniper like a princess, he terrorized her brothers.

It was only after he had managed to get Juniper to fall asleep that he retreated into the bedroom, whereupon he saw Selena getting ready for bed.

“You should take a shower,” she said when she met his gaze.

“You should sleep; you don’t have to wait for me,” he replied easily as he headed into the bathroom.

She was about to lie down when she saw that she had put his towel out, and he hadn’t brought it into the bathroom with him. As such, she got out of the bed to pass him the towel.
