......
She had suffered a lot throughout her pregnancy.
Her diet and sleep quality had gone downhill, and her body had changed a lot. She was constantly on tenterhooks. Wyatt felt sorry for her. "No matter what happens, I will stay with you. Remember what the doctor said? Since the baby's already at 28 weeks, it's basically a tiny lifeform..."
Even if she were to go into labor right then, they would just have to spend a bit more money on an incubator.
Carrying twins was harder than a normal pregnancy, and it was also riskier.
The check-up results always made them nervous, but fortunately, there were no issues. Other than the fact that she could not control her weight and that her blood sugar index was a bit higher than normal, everything else was pretty much normal, which was much better than many pregnant women.
"Yeah." However, she had just gotten to 28 weeks that day and had yet to get a check-up.
After being pregnant for so long, the closer she got to delivery, the more she was afraid. She was afraid that she would have a premature birth. After all, she wanted her children to be as healthy as possible.
"Don't worry too much. You're so kind and perfect, Waverly. I'm sure the heavens won't forsake you. Let's go."
Then, they went downstairs and had breakfast slowly. After that, servants prepared the supplies and materials they needed to bring to the hospital, and Wyatt helped her get into the car.
......
The doctor did all kinds of tests based on the indicators and produced the results. The two of them went back to the consultation room and looked at the report. The doctor made some records, then looked through the information again before speaking up.
"There's nothing about the fetal movement, right? Is there anything else that might be unusual?" they asked.
"Yes. The indicators are all very normal. The size of the two babies can be considered even, but their rate of growth is still within the normal range. It's been maintained extremely well! Your weight is still a bit higher than average. You're already 96 kilograms. You'll gain weight faster toward the latter end of the pregnancy, so it's best if you try to control the rate of your weight gain. Usually, it's okay for you to gain about one kilogram every two weeks. You have to control your diet and you shouldn't take too many nutrients. When you go back, you also need to drink a little more water. As long as you relax, maintain a good mood, and keep things going as they are, everything will be fine," the doctor explained.
He continued, "In addition, most people pregnant with twins tend to have a premature birth, but we still need to try our best to make them go into labor within the appropriate time range. If the baby can stay in the mother's belly for one more day, we can save a day's worth of money, not to mention that it's good for the child as well. The longer the pregnancy goes on, the more fatigued you'll feel. All of this is normal, so you don't need to be too concerned... The fetal position is normal, but since your weight can influence it, you need to reduce your daily activity. Don't lift anything heavy or do intensive work. Don't do any housework, either. It's better to sit than to stand, and it's better to lie down than to sit. It'd be best if you could stay lying down throughout the next month of your pregnancy. When it comes to twins, it's really hard to get to a full 36 weeks. You've passed 28 weeks, and your babies have already become tiny life forms that are nearly done developing. However, it'll be a huge victory for them if they can last for one more week. If they can last until a full 36 weeks have passed, your twins won't be born prematurely. After that, you have to focus on rest. You shouldn't tire yourself out, and it'd be ideal for you to lie down and relax."
Hearing that everything was fine, Waverly beamed. "Okay. Thank you, Doctor. I'll keep that in mind!"
"Alright. You don't have to be too nervous. You just need to keep yourself in a good mood and continue with your diet. You have to pay attention to the fetus' movement. If there are any abnormalities, you can come to the hospital at any time and call me if there are any problems. Your babies are very lively and energetic! If nothing out of the ordinary happens, then you can come back for a regular check-up in another two weeks."
The last sentence was obviously implying something, but Waverly was so overcome with joy that she didn't notice it.
After thanking him, the two of them left with grins on their faces.
......
After returning home, Waverly immediately laid down on the bed. Wyatt accompanied her for a while and poured some warm water for her to drink. Seeing that she was tired, he got up and went to the company.
In the following month, Waverly spent most of her time sleeping in bed aside from when she would occasionally go to the toilet, downstairs, and to the yard. Even though she felt incredibly trapped, she could endure anything when she thought of the baby in her womb.
She went for the last couple rounds of check-ups, and in the blink of an eye, 36 weeks had passed. She didn't expect that his twins would stay in her womb for a full 36 weeks. After the check-up that day, Waverly felt that it was a miracle.
After handing the results to the doctor, she felt a little upset.
Upon looking through the results, the doctor looked back up at her. "It's been 36 weeks, and the babies have fully developed. Their heart rate was observed to be a little low. Has the fetal movement been normal lately?"
Waverly's expression changed, and she hurriedly nodded. "Everything's been completely normal."
They had been moving around earlier, but when they were monitored, they remained stationary.
The doctor took another look and suggested, "In that case, you should go take a walk. Get some fresh air, then we'll do another test and see how it goes."
Under the professional care and conditioning of the experts, Waverly could get out of bed and walk on her own by the time she was discharged from the hospital seven days later. One of the women in the Johnson family carried the children while Wyatt helped to support Waverly. The whole family left the hospital together.
For the next month, she had to stay at home and recover. Similarly, a specialist had been hired to take care of her. Wyatt didn't go to work either. He took good care of her in all aspects without any disdain or impatience. She spent the month very comfortably. Although the two babies had bad tempers, they still slept very well as long as they weren't hungry or didn't have to pee. The entire family seemed to have changed once they were joined by those two babies.
Strangely enough, she was 108 kilograms when she was giving birth, but right after the delivery, she directly lost 18 kilograms. Upon getting home, she began losing weight rapidly as well. When a month passed, her thin and sharp chin was exposed. In an instant, it seemed that she had reverted to her old self and only gained a little weight.
Thus, when the outside world was still ridiculing her for being an eyesore despite her luck, she silently regained her initial beauty.
When the babies were a month old, they had a celebration. The Johnson family held a private luxury banquet and specially invited the media. When Waverly and Wyatt reappeared in the public eye, they left everyone stunned. With practical actions, she gave the outside world a huge slap to the face.
After staying indoors for over a month, Waverly seemed to have a lot of fun when she was finally able to go outside again. She spent the whole night chatting with her friends.
"Alicia, Clinton can help us take care of our babies the next time we go out together. Don't you think so, Victoria?" Waverly said.
"Yep. Clinton will definitely be able to deal with them. He stands out in the crowd. With a single look, he's able to control everyone. I have no idea if he'll be happy with a bunch of kids following him around, or if he'll be annoyed."
"To me, it seems like Clinton is very good at taking care of people! He's always been patient with Tevye. He's so considerate!"
.....
Looking at the two of them bickering like children in the distance, Alicia couldn't help shaking her head.
"Laurie, that's because Tevye is a girl. In the future, she'll definitely be the favorite of the group and get spoiled. Clinton is just like Frederick in terms of personality. It's a headache for me to communicate with him nowadays. Everything is about his father. Nowadays, he's been telling me about how I need a real man to protect me. He won't even let me nag him!"
"Hehe!"
While chatting and joking, the ladies' gazes were filled with unconcealable happiness. They each had their own unique characteristics. Meanwhile, several men gathered together and held up their wine glasses. Their eyes were similarly drawn to the women, who were shining like stars. There was also an unconcealable tenderness between their brows. The sun always shines after the storm, and happiness was contagious. In the end, everyone got what they wanted. It might have been different for all of them, but it was the most satisfying outcome.
