In A City, it was hot in May.
Elizabeth only wore a slightly loose short-sleeved T-shirt.
Maybe the baby in her belly had heard James's words. At this time, it raised its small fist and pressed it against Elizabeth's belly, and a small bulge appeared on Elizabeth's belly.
Elizabeth felt it and said with a smile, "Your son is greeting you."
James naturally saw it, "Yeah, how naughty he is!" After that, he reached out and tapped Elizabeth's belly lightly, "What's the point of greeting me in the belly? It's better for you to come out earlier."
When Elizabeth was pregnant for seven or eight months, the child had its own movements in her belly. It moved more and more often as it grew big and its strength became stronger, so they could feel some of its movements.
James felt it amazing at the beginning, but later, he got used to it and liked to talk to Elizabeth's belly and communicate with the child.
For example, if the child stretched out his little hand or moved his calves, he would talk happily with him for a long time.
This time, maybe it was because the child thought James talked too much, so he directly stretched out his little feet and kicked Elizabeth's belly.
James tapped Elizabeth's belly twice again, "You are really naughty!" He leaned closer to Elizabeth's belly, "Let me ask you. When will you come out?"
After a long time, there was no respond in her belly.
Elizabeth burst into laughter, "It doesn't want to answer you."
James humphed, "Maybe he is thinking." As soon as he finished, he thought for a moment and then said to her belly, "You've been thinking for so long. What's your answer? Huh?"
Elizabeth was a little speechless. She felt that James was too childish, but at the same time, she felt that it was funny.
After the child was born, they would naturally spend time together like this again, and they would be happier. But that kind of feeling was different, wasn't it?
"Look at you! Mom and dad are looking forward to your arrival. Now you have finally grown big and can come out, but why do you have to postpone? It's not lovely at all, is it? The doctor said that you should meet us in early May. Are you too shy?"
"It doesn't matter. I'm your dad. As for her..." He pointed at Elizabeth, "She provides you nutrition and offers you a very comfortable place to sleep. She's your mother. We like you very much, so you don't have to be shy. Understand?"
Elizabeth exhaled and pursed her lips tightly, for fear that she would suddenly burst into laughter.
In the past, he always said some childish words to the baby in her belly, and she thought that she had got used to it. However... he became more and more childish.
"Perhaps you don't have any particular concept about time yet. However, I can give you a rough explanation. You were supposed to be born on May 6th, but now... well, it's already May 20th. Do you know that you're already late for fourteen days?"
