"You can't do that honey, that is so unfair," Singtan complained.
"Woah, what happened again?" Yumi inquired.
"Honey, next time when you want to say something, please don't call your dad," Ming instructed.
"Okay but what happened?"
"Because you dad is insane. He keeps acting like a child even though he is already a grandpa," she snapped before glaring at her husband.
"Alright, let's talk about this later because I have a very important thing to share," Yumi exclaimed.
Wrapping his arms around her waist, Zixin remarked, "Why don't we wait for others as well?"
"When are they coming?"
"Clara and Mian are on the way, I have no idea about others," Ben answered.
"What is it? You guys are making me curious," Qiang raised her brows.
Just then Mian and Clara arrived followed by Zian and Yushen.
"I left a very important meeting midway for this so it better be very very important and worth it,' Zian stated.
"Okay since everyone is here, we want to tell you all something—"
Cutting Zixin off, Yumi beamed, "We are pregnant."
"Babe, I was supposed to say that," Zixin frowned.
"What?" Widening his eyes in shock, Singtan shot up. "Y-You're pregnant?"
"Oh my God, this is great news." When Qiang tried to get up in a haste, Guang stopped her. "Woahh honey, don't forget that you are still pregnant."
"Guang is right, you shouldn't get up like that. I'll come to you instead." Giving Qiang a hug, Yumi smiled.
"Congratulations, I am so happy for you."
"Congrats man, I can't believe you are going to become a dad and I will become an uncle for the third time."
"Forget about you brother Zixin, I am becoming an uncle for the third time. I am so young, how is that even possible," Yushen complained.
"Don't worry Yushen, you can become the cool uncle," Clara remarked.
"Ben and Clara had a beautiful son, Qiang and Guang will have one soon and now Yumi and Zixin, everything is going so perfect." Giving Yumi a hug, Ming added, "Another grandchild."
"This is perfect." Looking at Mian and Zian, Qiang grinned, "Things will become more perfect if brother Zian and sister Mian have one too."
Scratching his forehead, Zian looked at Mian who was also looking at him. He was about to say something when Mian interrupted him.
"We are taking our time, no pressure."
"That is great, you should only try for a baby when you feel you are ready. But if the baby decides to surprise you then you won't have any other choice but to be ready," Ming remarked.
...
A week later.
"Qiang, why do you keep moving around? How many times have I told you to sit in one place and not move around?"
"I sit all day, I need to stretch myself a little bit as well mum." Walking towards Ming, Qiang sighed, "I need some water."
"Sit down, I'll get it for you."
"It's okay mom, I'll just grab—ahhhh...." Just then, Qiang slipped on the floor.
"Qiang—" Ming shouted before rushing towards her.
Holding her stomach, she groaned in pain. "Mom—it hurts."
The helpers quickly rushed towards them and helped Qiang get up.
"Singtan, Yushen—" Ming shouted.
"Qiang—" Yushen gasped before running down the stairs. "What happened? How—"
"We need to take her to the hospital."
"Hospital? What happened?" Singtan inquired before rushing towards them. When he saw Qiang groaning in pain, he panicked, "What—"
"She slipped on the floor," Ming informed.
"What? How did this happen?"
"Dad, there is no time for explanation. We need to take her to the hospital." Looking at Ming, Yushen instructed, "Inform Guang." Before scooping Qiang in his arms and rushing out of the main door, towards the car.
...
Hospital.
A few minutes after Qiang was rushed to the emergency room, Guang arrived.
"W—What happened? Qiang—how is she?" he panicked.
"She is inside."
"How did this happen?" Zian inquired.
Sitting on the bench, Ming covered her face with both her hands. "It's all my fault, I wasn't careful—"
"Mom, stop blaming yourself. It wasn't anyone's fault. Everything is going to be okay, don't worry," Yumi consoled her.
After a few minutes, the doctor stepped out of the room and informed, "We need to do an urgent surgery otherwise the babies and mother, both will be at risk. Who is the husband?" When Guang stepped forward, the doctor added, "We need your signature in the consent form."
"Will my wife be okay?"
"We will try our best to save both the babies and the mother, please do not lose hope."
After the doctor left, Guang sat on the bench in a daze. He had no idea what was happening, everything felt like a dream. He was staying at home with Qiang for the past couple of days and had plans of doing so until her due date. But in the morning, he had to leave for office due to some emergency. Only if he knew something like this would happen, he would have never left her side.
"Guang, you can't stay like this. You have to stay strong for Qiang and your babies." Patting his shoulder, Yushen added, "Lets go and fill the form first, okay? They won't start the surgery without the consent form."
After Guang signed the consent form and finished all the formalities, the operation started which lasted for 75 minutes.
Everyone impatient waited for some news about Qiang or the babies outside the operation theatre.
After some time, the doctor stepped out of the room and informed, "Congratulations, it's a girl and a boy."
"Is my wife okay?" Guang inquired.
"Yes, she is perfectly fine. We will shift her in the room soon."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the positive news.
Leaning against the wall, Guang closed his eyes. Only he knew how tough it was for him to wait outside the operation theatre, waiting for an unexpected news from the doctor. The thought of losing Qiang made his mind go blank.
