Because Rose wanted to give birth at the base, Natalie had been sleeping at the base for the past few days. Trevon took care of the three children at home alone. Trevon was now skilled in taking care of children so he did not encounter many problems.
That morning, Rose started to have contractions after eating breakfast. Her cervix opened faster this time compared to the first time.
Grace accompanied Rose to give birth to her first child, but Rose didn't ask Grace to come with her this time. She didn't want Grace's heart to ache twice, and she didn't let Edward accompany her either because she didn't want Edward to be traumatized.
In the end, Sherri applied for leave, and she and Natalie accompanied Rose. Ava wanted to enter but was rejected by Rose.
Rose went in at half past eight in the morning, and she already delivered the child two hours later. Sherri pushed open the door of the operating theater to announce the good news. There was a group of people standing outside the door. She glanced at her father, mother, brother, and the Roberts family. "It's a boy. He's around 6 pounds."
Hearing this, Ava smiled foolishly at Frank. "Frank, I guessed correctly, but Rose might have regrets."
Edward also smiled. "It's fine. She'll be fine in a few days."
Everyone in the family knew that Rose wanted a daughter. When Rose saw Ava's daughter, Natalie's twin daughters, and especially Sherri's daughter, she was extremely envious. She kept saying that her second child must be a daughter.
Juana turned around and instructed Edward, "A son is good. Edward, if Rose is disappointed later, advise her not to be sad. Do you understand? You must take care of the feelings of a woman who has just given birth. She can't be too sad."
Edward nodded.
In the operating theater, Rose looked at the little guy who was not wearing pants. The lower half of his body was especially eye-catching. She sighed repeatedly.
Natalie carried the child in her arms. She had just put on clothes for the baby when she turned to look at Rose and asked, "What kind of postpartum reaction is this? Don't you have anything to say?"
Sherri shrugged with a smile and helped Rose up. She helped to explain, "She's sighing because she didn't give birth to a daughter. I wanted to tell her a few times during her pregnancy, but she refused to let me tell her."
Natalie knew what it felt like and comforted her. "Rose, daughters are not necessarily better than sons. Just look at Sophia. I have an endless amount of cleaning up to do every day. She's much naughtier than boys. Every day when I go home, I'm afraid that my mother-in-law will tell me what Sophia did today."
Natalie did not stop helping Rose's child to put on his clothes as she spoke. "A few days ago, Trevon bought a car wash gun for both children. The detergent sprayed out by the gun was foam-like and pink. It could cover the entire car. Sophia found it very fun. From morning to night, she washed the Mustang eight times. It was so clean that it reflected the light. Even the flies slipped on it."
Everyone in the operating theater burst into laughter. Everyone in the base knew that Natalie's daughter was very naughty, but they didn't expect her to be this naughty. Just when everyone thought that she had only washed the car eight times, Natalie refreshed everyone's horizons again.
Rose was laughing so hard that she was bending over. The delivery of her baby was eventful this time. Throughout the entire process, Natalie and Sherri eased the atmosphere. The two of them worked together like a duo. It was so funny.
Seeing everyone bending over with laughter, Natalie said calmly, "If you think that's all, it means that you don't know just how naughty my daughter is. After dinner, Sophia disappeared. We thought that she was hiding upstairs practicing darts. The two cars at the door were both there, so we didn't look for her. The next day, my father-in-law and Trevon almost went to the company using public transport. All the cars in the garage were sprayed pink, and not a single car was spared. In the end, Jim picked them up. This is the first time Jasper has been late since he started school. It's all thanks to Sophia."
Rose laughed for a while. In her mind, she was imagining the entire garage covered in pink bubbles. "I suddenly feel that having a son is quite good. Harper is also very naughty and always causes trouble. For example, he stuffed sausages into the cooking oil and poured the entire packet of detergent into the washing machine. However, it's still not comparable to Sophia."
The nurse said, "After what you said, I don't even dare to get a boyfriend anymore."
Natalie comforted the nurse. "Don't be nervous. People like Sophia are different. For example, the daughter of Dr. Landor, who ruined today, is an angel."
When Sherri heard this, she laughed and retorted, "How rude! What do you mean, ruined today? Let me remind you that the boat of friendship is swaying."
"You, Athana's obstetrician-gynecologist, came to my base to outperform me. Didn't you ruin today?" Natalie retorted with a smile. The two of them laughed out loud. In fact, they wanted to accompany Rose as she delivered her baby.
Rose still needed to be observed for another hour, and she was bored. "Natalie, tell me more interesting things about Sophia. I think she's quite cute."
Sherri exposed, "Sophia's boldness is partly because of Old Trevon's pampering."
Natalie nodded. "That makes sense. One is always on the path of education but also the path of cheating, and the other is always on the path of making mistakes and recognizing mistakes. The father and daughter have never been surpassed in terms of correcting themselves."
In order to make Rose happy, Natalie began to recall what her daughter had done to make her angry. "Let's talk about a few days ago. Sophia and my father-in-law found a stray dog at the door of the Wilson's residence when they were out for a walk. She asked my father-in-law if she could bring it home to raise it. My father-in-law didn't agree and told me about it when he returned home. In the end, the next day, when I went to the wardrobe to help her get her clothes, I found that there were a lot of clothes missing. Not only were her clothes missing, but Jasper and Olivia's clothes were also missing."
The nurses asked, "Did Sophia give all the clothes to the stray dogs?"
Natalie nodded with a helpless expression. "Yes, she found a cardboard box and stuffed all the new clothes into the box so that the puppy could sleep. She even took some snacks from home. She was afraid that the puppy wouldn't be able to open the packaging, so she even carefully opened all the snacks."
Natalie recalled what Sophia said when she asked Sophia why she took her brother's clothes and sister's clothes. Sophia said that her clothes were too small, her brother's clothes were too big, and her sister's clothes were light in color. Natalie was so furious. She then went to the box and found six pieces of clothes. Sophia only took one of her clothes, three of Jasper's clothes, and two of Olivia's clothes.
Sherri explained, "But you can't punish her. No matter what, Sophia is still kind-hearted and loves small animals. This is the reason why you're frustrated. You can only suck it up and tell yourself that Sophia is your child. All you can do is tell her that she can't do this in the future."
Rose was imagining what a kennel covered in expensive children's clothes looked like. This dog might have saved the Milky Way in its previous life to be able to live in such a luxurious house and have imported snacks in this life. "Sophia is too cute." Rose laughed.
Natalie sighed. "Three days and three nights aren't enough to tell you all the things that Sophia has done. Yesterday, I bought her a pair of white shoes to match her clothes. When I got home, the shoes were green."
Everyone was speechless. Natalie had to worry about so much at work, especially what would happen when she got home.
"Therefore, there's nothing bad about having sons. At least Jasper is much less troublesome than Sophia."
