In the Roberts family's living room.
Rose and Frank stood in the living room. No one sat down or spoke. They faced each other. When Frank and Ava entered the door, Juana, who followed them in, told them that Rose was pregnant.
Frank and Ava stared at Rose in disbelief. Ava was so shocked that she forgot to sit down. She supported her waist with one hand and looked at the few. After a moment, she said, "Rose, why didn't you say anything?"
Frank did not say anything. He had guessed his sister's thoughts just like Grace. He did not want Grace to focus on her. She felt that Ava was the most important now.
This girl always annoyed him when she was a pain in the neck. When she was sensible, she also annoyed him and made decisions blindly.
Frank turned his gaze to Edward. Just as he was about to speak, Rose started to protect him. "Brother, you... don't blame my husband. I didn't let him say it. You know that he has always listened to me."
Frank couldn't say anything. He glanced at his sister and said, "I don't intend to criticize him." He probably didn't have much energy to think about his sister now, so he wanted Edward to pay more attention.
In the end, this girl had misunderstood him. She had really forgotten her brother after having a husband.
Not long after, Mr. Roberts and Mrs. Roberts came in panting. Grace glanced at her daughter. She originally wanted to say something, but she did not plan to say it after entering the door. She nodded at Mr. Landor and Mrs. Landor.
Juana said, "I'm really sorry. We were careless. If we had known that Rose was pregnant, we definitely wouldn't have gone on a trip." How could they let their daughter-in-law take care of the child when she was pregnant?
Grace knew that her daughter was deliberately hiding this matter. "It's fine. This child wants you to relax."
"Our Rose is too sensible. Rose, are you coming home with Mom?" Juana held Rose's hand.
Frank glanced at his sister. "Stay here for a few more days if you want." It meant that he could do whatever he wanted and take care of her.
William chimed in, "That's right, Rose. You can stay at home as long as you want. Follow your own thoughts. Your mood is the most important. Your parents-in-law are just so excited that they want to take care of you."
The entire family agreed. For a moment, everyone's attention was on Rose. They were all waiting for Rose's answer. Ava also asked Rose to stay. She did not want Rose to go back to her in-laws' house because she was pregnant. She was afraid that Grace would be too busy.
Most of the messages were from Ava.
Frank was sensitive and had long understood the hidden meaning in the little girl's words. He pinched the little girl's neck comfortingly and whispered into her ear, "Rose won't think too much. You don't think too much either."
Upon hearing this, Ava looked up at her husband who could read minds. She blinked her eyes and her eyelashes fluttered. Frank looked at the little girl's cute appearance and nodded.
In the end, Rose decided to go back to the Landor family first. Before she left, she hugged her parents. If it weren't for her brother hugging her sister-in-law, Rose would have hugged him too.
Rose, who was brought back to the Landor family, lived the life of the Empress Dowager again. Sherri was warmly invited by Juana to stay in the Landor family for a long time. The reason was very simple. Juana took a fancy to her daughter's major and felt that it was more reassuring for her daughter-in-law to have a professional obstetrician-gynecologist in the first three months.
In order to reassure her parents, Rose reported her diet and appetite in the group every day. Grace didn't know whether to laugh or cry when she saw that her daughter was alive and kicking without any pregnancy reaction. She was indeed much more relieved.
William lamented how he had been so happy for the rest of his life. His daughter-in-law was pregnant with twins, and his daughter was having a second child. He was so excited that he flaunted it to Charlie every day, making Charlie extremely jealous.
He privately asked William to help introduce a daughter-in-law. In the end, William said that there was no one. He was so angry that Charlie told William to stop showing off in front of him in the future.
Ava's body became heavier and heavier. On this day, Frank asked Ava where she wanted to go to give birth. Was it the base or the Athana Hospital? Sherri could deliver the baby anywhere. This was not a problem.
"Baby Ava, where do you want to give birth? Big Brother said that the base is fine too. There's a professional obstetrician-gynecologist. We can also let Sherri deliver the baby. Your sister is also there." Frank hoped that the little girl would go to the base. After all, Joseph had already arranged everything.
However, Joseph told Frank not to tell Ava about this. He said that he would let Ava make the decision. She would do whatever she wanted. He was not sure where Ava wanted to give birth in the base, so he made two preparations.
The little girl rested her chin on her hand and was half-lying on the sofa. Frank was massaging her leg. The little girl's leg had already begun to swell. This technique was taught by Trevon.
"Why don't we go to the Athana Hospital? I don't know anyone in the base. I've only been there a few times. My sister will be busier if I go. My sister, Sister Rose, Sister Sherri, they were all born in the Athana Hospital. I want to give birth there too. If I have the third child, let's go to the base again."
The third children?
That young lady was thinking too much. He would not let a second accident happen.
However, he did not break the young lady's hope. "Alright, I'll listen to you. Grace wants you to be hospitalized tomorrow."
Ava calculated according to his expected delivery date. "Tomorrow? Isn't that 10 days away from the expected delivery date? Isn't it too early? Can we stay at home for a few more days? We'll go in three days before the expected delivery date." Seeing that Frank did not compromise, Ava released two more fingers. "Five days. Can we go five days in advance?"
