Chasing My Pregnant Wife (Rosalie and Theodore) novel Chapter 1468

Two days later, it was the weekend. Jake and Chelsea didn't need to go to school, so they kept Rosalie company in the hospital.

"Mommy, do you feel any pain in your body?" Chelsea asked, worried.

Rosalie caressed her daughter's head and said, "No, I don't. Don't worry. How is everything in kindergarten? Are you used to it there?"

"I want to be with Mommy," Chelsea said indignantly.

"Chelsea, you're still very young. It's not good for you to always be at the hospital," Rosalie said. "I'll be discharged once I get better. For now, just be good and go to school."

Chelsea nodded. "Okay, Mommy. I'll be good."

Rosalie turned her attention to Jake. "Jake, come here and let Mommy take a good look at you."

Having not seen him for so many years, Rosalie wanted to spend every waking moment with him.

Jake walked over to her, opening his mouth as if wanting to say something, but when he drew close to Rosalie, he still felt rather reserved.

He was now willing to be close to Rosalie, but still unwilling to call her Mommy. Or perhaps he wasn't unwilling—he just didn't know how to say it.

"Jake, I heard from Theodore that you've been taking care of your sister over the past few days, reading stories to her and coaxing her to sleep. You're such a good boy, I'm so proud of you."

Jake felt rather shy.

"Jake, can you call me Mama?" Rosalie really wanted to hear him call her that.

Jake knew how to speak when he was very young and always called her that, but now, he wasn't willing to address her that way. She didn't want to force him, but she was afraid that she might suddenly die before she could hear it once more.

The tears welling up in Rosalie's eyes filled Jake's heart with fear. He turned and ran out of the ward.

Rosalie sighed.

"Mommy, Jake will call you Mama one day," Chelsea said softly. "Jake is very nice, he's just shy."

Rosalie nodded. "Mommy knows. Chelsea, Jake is very nice to you and takes good care of you, so you have to be nice to Jake and take care of him, too. You two siblings have to take care of each other, okay?"

Chelsea nodded. "Yes, Mommy. Can I hug you for a while?"

"Of course, you can. Come on up." Rosalie patted the empty space next to her on the bed.

Chelsea crawled up the bed and dove into Rosalie's embrace.

Jake paced up and down the corridor outside, pouting and feeling very conflicted inside.

Should he call her Mama?

Right now, he didn't hate her one bit.

He also wanted her to hug and kiss him, but he felt embarrassed. He envied Chelsea for being so close to her mommy.
