Nicholas lectured Tessa while massaging her body. Knowing that he was worried for her, she nodded with a smile. “Don’t worry. I know my limits. If I can’t go on, I’ll take a rest.”
He cherished her more when he saw how persistent she was. Gregory also added, “Mommy, you need to take care of yourself. Or else, Daddy and I will worry.”
“I understand, sweetheart. You don’t have to worry about me.” She playfully touched his button nose.
Every night, Nicholas routinely massaged Tessa’s abdomen to help with the correction. Not only that, but he also massaged her sore legs. Ten days of hard work later, they finally received some good news.
That day, he brought her to the hospital for a checkup. During the procedure, the doctor felt uneasy by the stares from Nicholas and Gregory, but he went ahead and got his job done.
Soon, the doctor returned to his office and concluded, “The baby is healthy. There are no major issues.”
“Is the baby’s position corrected?” She caressed her belly and sat across from the doctor with Nicholas’ help. He and Gregory shot nervous looks at the doctor upon hearing the question.
The doctor confessed, “The baby’s not fully flipped, but he is getting there. If you keep working on it, the baby should be fine on the due date.”
