Have I Told You Lately novel Chapter 29

Next day, Rachel, Osmond and Monica took a plane and got back to N City.

Rachel arrived home in the morning. After relaxing for half a day, she followed Theresa to the hospital in the afternoon.

At this pregnancy check-up, Rachel was much more at ease. Maybe it was because she got a lot figured out. Now that she decided to keep the baby, she must make sure she was at her best every day.

Lying on the equipment, she saw her mother grasping her hands tightly and smiled, “Mum, why are you more nervous than me?”

“How can I not be? It is my grandchild.”

Rachel laughed.

The doctor who held an equipment to examine her smiled too, “Where is the father?”

Rachel kept smiling and looked at her swollen belly, answering plainly, “He is on a business trip.”

Suddenly, Theresa’s eyes got red. Fearing that Rachel might see it, she turned to face the window, feeling sorrowful.

The doctor nodded and asked no further. The she looked at the B-ultrasound equipment and smiled, “Congratulations, they are twins.”

“...”

After several seconds of silence, Rachel suddenly grasped the doctor’s hands, asking in amaze, “Twins? Are...Are you sure?”

The doctor said, “It is the result of the equipment. How can it be wrong?”

Rachel smiled happily and grasped her mother’s hands excitedly, “Mum, did you hear it? They are twins. I have two twins in my belly.”

There was a big smile on Rachel’s face, and her lips rose. Rachel couldn’t believe it and felt on top of the world.

At the sight of this, Theresa felt more in sorrow.

Rachel needed to support two children and two parents now, one of which was still in prison. Didn’t she think about the future?

But Theresa didn’t want to make a bummer, so she stoked her hair in smile, “Yes, I heard it. There are two babies in you now. You have to be careful!”

“Yes, mum.”
