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.”

It was indeed a private hospital, where patients were directly called customers.

Leaving the hospital, Rachel kept smiling. It was obvious that she was on the seventh heaven.

They were twins. How could she not be? Fortunately, she didn’t have them aborted before, or she would feel like hell. They were two lives.

Theresa looked at her for several times but said nothing during the way back. Still Rachel noticed something and stopped in front of a supermarket, looking at her mother, “Mum, what’s wrong? Why...why don’t you look happy?”

Theresa frowned and looked at her, breathing a heavy sigh, “Rachel, what are you going to do with these two children? What about your future?”

Even though she wanted to get marred in the future, no man would be willing to raise her two children.

Rachel froze and then smiled, hugging her mother softly, “Mun, I know you are worried about me. But we can’t just dodge obstacles forever. What we can do and need to do is facing them so that we can defeat them. Besides, it won’t be hard for me to raise two children. They are my babies and I love them. So, whatever it takes, I will raise them well.”

At this moment, Rachel felt more satisfied than ever.

Theresa held her shoulder and softly pushed her away. Looking at Rachel’s belly, Theresa said in concern, “Then you should quit and stay home until the babies come out so that I can take good care of you.”
