Finally, peace and quiet descended. Juanita, hunched over in front of the screen, hurriedly asked her most pressing question. "How is it, giving birth? Does it hurt?" Joyce shrugged, "It's bearable."
"I'm scared, I'm afraid of the pain, you know," Juanita's face filled with worry, "What should I do? Maybe I should just have a C-section. But everyone else wants me to have a natural birth."
"Everyone meaning Constance? Your mother-in-law?" Joyce asked with a smile. "Yes, I think they all want me to have a second child, a third child. Of course, a natural birth. But I'm really scared, I've read online about women talking about the pain, they say childbirth is a level 12 pain, just thinking about it makes me afraid," Juanita's tone was clearly not happy.
"Even Karl wants me to have a natural birth, dragging me out for walks every day. He even makes me climb stairs, says it's exercise, that it'll make childbirth easier. Joyce, do you think they know I'm having a daughter? Do they all hope I'll give them a son in the future?"
Joyce shook her head, "You, normally so optimistic. Why are you getting confused now? Natural birth is definitely better. What does it have to do with whether you have a boy or a girl? I think Constance definitely prefers a girl. Karl too. You're overthinking things."
"I know, my mother-in-law has said more than once that she likes girls. Before the child is even born, there are all kinds of beautiful dresses piled up, feels like even if I had ten children, they wouldn't wear them all," Juanita pouted.
"So, don't worry. Now we have painless delivery. I used it when I gave birth, and the pain was much reduced. And, Karl is right, you climb stairs every day, exercise more. The baby will be born faster, and there will be less pain. Listen to him, he really cares about you," Joyce said, "Seeing you two, so loving, I am also relieved."
"Hehe. Not bad. I thought he was a wooden block, but after spending time together, I didn't expect him to be quite understanding," Juanita's face was full of happiness. Joyce looked at Juanita with satisfaction, ever since leaving the Capital, she tried not to disturb their lives too much.
Love was always about companionship, over time, habits became part of each other. Just like Juanita and Karl now, finally becoming an enviable couple. "Oh, enough about me. Let me tell you about Nina," Juanita suddenly perked up.
