Sharon opened her eyes and found that Stanley had been holding her hand tightly. She then called him in a hoarse voice, "Honey..."
Instantly, Stanley noticed that she had woken up and felt relieved.
Stroking her belly which was now flat, she licked her lips and asked, "Where's the baby?"
"Here." Stanley stood up and Sharon looked behind him. On the other bed, the baby was quietly sleeping.
Seeing her child, Sharon couldn't help but shed tears.
Meanwhile, Stanley took the newborn and placed the newborn beside her, to which she observed carefully. Then, thinking of something, she asked, "Is it a boy or a girl?"
"A boy."
"Ah." Although Sharon was a little discouraged, she soon let go of her disappointment. Because regardless of the baby's gender, she would still love her child.
"What's wrong?" Stanley raised his eyebrows at her.
"Well, I want a daughter..."
Hearing that, Stanley looked at the baby in her arms. The newborn was tiny and his face was somewhat wrinkly. It was hard to tell who the baby resembled yet. Nonetheless, Stanley's heart gradually softened.
Ever since Sharon came out of the delivery room, he had been guarding by her side, so he hadn't taken a closer look at their newborn. But right now looking at the baby, he had a strange feeling.
It was as if he finally realized that he had become a father now.
When the baby was a month old, the Jones held a baby shower for him.
They booked one of the best hotels in town to hold the celebration and the staff did their best to arrange the banquet.
When Ariah and Jimmy came over, Sharon was waiting in one of the hotel rooms with the baby.
Since Ariah's belly was really big now, it was inconvenient for her to hold the baby, so she just stared at the baby and praised, "He's really cute. A month ago he still looked wrinkly, but now I can already see the outline of his features. It looks like he's gonna be a handsome guy when he grows up!"
Indeed, the baby had changed a lot. It had only been a month, but the baby was now snowy and chubby.
And he was especially cute.
In the meantime, standing by the baby's bed, the twins were observing their new little brother and touched the baby carefully.
The baby's skin felt very soft, like a marshmallow.
Thinking about that, Seamus turned to look at Sadie and said, "Sis, our little brother is so soft. He's like a marshmallow!"
Sadie also touched the baby's face, which felt indeed very soft. With a nod, she agreed, "Yeah, he's soft like a marshmallow."
Seeing how the kids got along, Ariah felt that she should really plan to have a second child in the future. Otherwise, the child in her belly would be lonely.
Tonight, all the wealthy families were present. Stanley, Jimmy, and a few others were welcoming guests in the hall.
After a while, Howard came with a babysitter from his house.
Sharon had seen the babysitter before. It was a sweet girl. Her name was Elaine.
Elaine was younger than them. Upon greeting
Sharon and Ariah, she went to play with the children.
