It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 1607

"I'm alright. I understand the situation." As much as Michelle was a gang member, she was also a considerate wife.

"Every man should be there for his wife when she's giving birth!" exclaimed Cynthia. Nobody anticipated that Michelle would go in labor while Luke was away.

"Well, he wouldn't be able to help me even if he were here. It's not like he's the one who's going to give birth," Michelle said jokingly. "And besides, I still had to be isolated, right?" Michelle said all these things with a reassuring smile. The chicken soup she had dreaded earlier on was actually very delicious. It was just the thought of having to consume strictly just soup for a month that heavily burdened Michelle. She wondered if she would gain more weight in the coming month.

"You are such a considerate wife! Most women would have held a grudge," said Cynthia. She was grateful that both her sons, Edward and Luke, were lucky enough to marry wives who weren't selfish and demanding.

"Mom, I know if I threw a fit it would only get between me and Luke," Michelle explained, "It would only break us. I love him, and I'm not willing to lose him over something so petty." She knew Luke loved her and she knew it was a matter of work that Luke had to leave the country. She had no intention of brewing a storm over something so simple.

"It's really so kind of you to say that. Oh, baby, you have such a great mother!" Cynthia then planted a kiss on the cheek of her grandson.

"Hey! What a beautiful and warm family we have," exclaimed Daisy who came rushing from behind Cynthia. She had just gotten off work and made her way to the hospital immediately as she clocked out.

"You're finally here, Daisy. Still haven't gone home huh?" Daisy came without Justin, so Cynthia knew Daisy had come directly from work. If Daisy had gone home first, she would have Justin tag along. Justin was also eager to see his little cousin.

"No, I haven't. I came here as soon as I could." Daisy walked up to Michelle and gave her the warmest congratulations. "You're a mother now," she said with her eyes crystallizing from the tears of joy she was trying to hold back.

"It's an important stage in a woman's life to have babies. From this, you will grow a whole new instinct; a whole new identity," Daisy explained.

"Thank you, Daisy," said Michelle. She looked at the baby in Cynthia's arms and felt utter affection.

"How do you feel? Was giving birth as horrible as you thought it was?" Daisy asked for details as she couldn't help but tease Michelle for finally sharing the same torment and agony on giving birth, remembering how frightened Michelle had been a couple of days ago.

"No, it wasn't, actually," Michelle laughed. "I was such a fool." Michelle covered her face with both hands in embarrassment. She felt ashamed of herself because she had overthought so many things that could go wrong before giving birth.

"Like I said, take it easy. Let birth take its natural course." Daisy remembered the day she had given birth to Justin. She had been both in physical and mental pain then. Fortunately, luck came after all that she had to suffer.

Right after learning that Michelle had a boy, Justin kept pestering Jonathan to visit them. Jonathan had no other choice but to succumb to the boy's stubbornness and took Justin to the hospital.

"Mommy, why isn't it a baby girl? Uncle Duke already has a boy. Uncle Tom also has a boy. There's no girl, mommy! I want a baby girl," Justin grumbled as if something could be done to shift the gender of the newborn baby.

"Why do you want a baby girl?" Daisy asked with a patient smile. She was curious of Justin's answer.
