At this time, it was already past the usual lunchtime at home.
As expected, when Mu Wanwan finished washing up and walked to the living room, her mother and the nanny Aunt Liu were already sitting on the sofa in the living room eating fruit after dinner.
Seeing Mu Wanwan coming out, Aunt Liu quickly got up.
“Wanwan is awake. I’ve saved the food for you. Aunt Liu will heat it up for you. You can talk to your mother for a while.”
Having said that, Liu Xiu hurried to the kitchen, leaving the living room to Ah Wu and her daughter.
“Mom.”
Mu Wanwan sat next to her mother.
There were many fruits on the coffee table in the living room, most of which were Mu Wanwan’s favorites, especially the big bowl of cherries, which were big and fresh, and the newly listed lychees, which were plump, juicy, and sweet.
Mu Wanwan thought that since she went to college, every time she went home, there was always a refrigerator full of her favorite fruit desserts. This did not change even after her father passed away.
Mu Wanwan picked up a cherry and prepared a lot of words to say, but after calling out ‘Mom’, she didn’t know what to say.
This may be a common problem between mothers and daughters nowadays. They obviously care about each other, but when it comes to expressing their feelings verbally, they feel it is a bit hypocritical. They can never express their concern.
“I have an appointment for a prenatal check-up in the afternoon. Aunt Liu will take a leave in the afternoon. Please accompany me to the hospital.”
The two of them had not mentioned the topic of the child in the belly for a long time.
Mu Wanwan subconsciously looked at her mother’s belly. At this time, Ah Wu’s pregnancy was nearly three and a half months. Her originally flat belly had a little bulge.
Mu Wanwan didn’t know if it was her illusion.
She had never been pregnant, and she had never seen her mother’s appearance when she was pregnant with her. She didn’t know whether the belly would be visible after more than three months of pregnancy.
But it was strange that when her mother’s belly was flat, she could very self-willedly ask her mother to give up the child, but when she saw the slightly bulging curve of her mother’s belly, she suddenly realized that the child had landed safely in her mother’s belly.
That child was her younger brother or sister, a life, not an insignificant existence.
“Okay.”
Mu Wanwan agreed subconsciously, but when she came to her senses, she began to regret that her position was too unsteady.
She hated that child. Mu Wanwan emphasized her attitude in her heart.
***
“Family members, please come in together.”
The prenatal check-up that Ah Wu made an appointment for was in an excellent private hospital. The cost was expensive, but the experience was commensurate with the cost.
Not only did she not have to queue up in the long queues at a public obstetrics and gynecology hospital, but her family members could also accompany her into the color Doppler ultrasound room.
In front of so many obstetric staff, Mu Wanwan could not show her resistance and obediently followed Ah Wu into the color Doppler ultrasound room.
“The child is very healthy.”
The doctor looked at the image on the screen and said to Ah Wu with a smile.
On the screen, the curled-up little embryo was only about fifteen or sixteen centimeters long, not even as big as Mu Wanwan’s palm.
The child was very naughty and turned his back to his belly, so on the screen, only the back of his head could be seen. The eyes, ears, mouth, and nose that the doctor said should have begun to take shape could not be seen at all.
Mu Wanwan thought that the baby was a bit ugly, with a pointed head and limbs that were not like normal people, but rather a bit like aliens.
But after looking at it for a long time, it seemed a little cute. This must be her illusion.
“This is your daughter, right? Little girl, wait for five more months before you can hear someone calling you elder sister.”
Since the second child policy was implemented, the doctor has seen many older children accompanying their parents for prenatal checkups.
From the first moment she saw Mu Wanwan, she knew that this child was very resistant to the arrival of the second child.
“Hahaha, a newborn baby can’t call you elder sister right away. I miscalculated the time just now. But, little girl, you can try hard and let your brother/sister call you sister first before he/she learns to call mom and dad.”
The doctor laughed to ease the atmosphere and then handed the color Doppler ultrasound report to Mu Wanwan.
“Come, take your brother/sister. This is a very healthy child.”
In the dark report, there was a dark image of the embryo. Mu Wanwan pursed her lips and glanced at her mother who was getting dressed.
Was this the purpose of bringing her to the prenatal checkup?
Mu Wanwan felt as if she was split into two halves.
One half was still hostile to the child, but the other half had already loosened up.
She thought of Lu Wenyuan’s words and also thought of her mother’s words on the phone that she would always love her!
Mu Wanwan was shocked to find that people could really be so contradictory.
***
“All indicators are good, and both mother and child are healthy.”
“At this time, unless there is a problem with the child or the mother, we do not recommend abortion because the child is already quite big. Abortion will cause considerable damage to the mother.”
Ah Wu is an elderly mother with a nearly four-month-old baby. If she has an abortion at this age, the first person to be harmed will be the mother herself.
Mu Wanwan watched her mother asking the doctor about pregnancy precautions in the consultation room. She felt a mixture of sweet, sour, bitter, and salty emotions in her heart.
“Time flies so fast. Just now during the prenatal checkup, I suddenly thought of twenty-two years ago. At that time, the person who accompanied me for the prenatal checkup was your father.”
“We were only seventeen and nineteen years old. We didn’t know anything at that age, but suddenly, we were going to be parents.”
Sitting in the corridor of the hospital, Ah Wu suddenly started talking about the past.
Mu Wanwan had heard many interesting stories about her childhood, but she had never heard her parents mention the trivial things that happened when she was pregnant with her.
After her mother started talking, all her attention was immediately drawn to her.
Now that her mother was so careful with the baby in her belly, she also wanted to know what kind of treatment she enjoyed when she was still in her mother’s belly.
Happy Saturday, my dear…
