100 - Might Be Disappointed

"There doesn't seem to be a problem on Mr. Daniel's and Ian's physical checkup, let's proceed and check the baby's condition now, starting with Mr. Daniel," Doctor Mendrez informed after physically checking her patients and asking some questions related to their daily routine/experience with their pregnancies, most especially since they just got back from their trip.

Meanwhile, when the four heard her, they all sighed in relief, especially Hanlu for Ian who he believed had exerted too much energy during their Mali trip. Even though the doctor already said that their baby had a strong grip and was very healthy before, he still couldn't help but feel worried. He was anxious that something would happen to his wife and their baby. After all, they all went swimming and snorkeling almost every day! And there was that time he beat up two grown ass men.

"Thank you, doctor," Daniel and Ian responded in sync before Daniel and Laotian were led to the room where the ultrasound was going to happen, leaving Ian and Hanlu to wait. Daniel was already used to it so the doctor didn't need to instruct him on what to do as the nurse helped him expose his abdomen.

"Mr. Daniel is in his 13th week, so next schedule we will finally find out the gender of the baby. But as I said before, although the fetus is very healthy and growing normally, it's rather smaller than the average so this time, be prepared for the possibility that we might get an Omega baby since it is not impossible with Mr. Daniel being an Omega," The doctor informed while proceeding to put warm gel against Daniel's stomach and later pressed a scanner-like device against it.

"We don't really mind, Doc. Since Laotian and I decided this would be our last baby, we're more than happy to have an Omega baby this time around. After all, Minmin just recently came out as an Alpha. I think Chao Yu and Ching Li are the same even though they're still four. I'm also positive Eli as well," Daniel chatted while Laotian hummed in agreement. Truthfully, for him, all babies are the same whether they are Alpha, Beta, or Omega. They would just take all of Daniel's attention even more that's why he was a little bit relieved that this will be their last baby because he was starting to accept that he might one day become a father of ten if they didn't ligate Daniel soon.

Of course, if they have another option Laotian still wouldn't mind having ten children if that was their faith but these little monsters are sucking the life out of his beloved wife. Daniel hasn't even turned 27 yet and needless to say Laotian didn't want to do such surgery on him this young but for his health and well-being, they had to close off any possibilities of him ever getting pregnant again. Daniel had been weakened by his pregnancies—which was partly Laotian's fault—and another baby would surely cost his life if they insisted on continuing with just the contraceptives. After all, such a birth control plan had been proven useless on them as they have now had three consecutive unplanned pregnancies after Luangmin.

"It's unfortunate but you have to prioritize your body. Besides, I think 5 children are more than enough..." The doctor chatted back before she halted focusing her eyes on the HD screen in front of them. Daniel briefly agreed to her but he no longer replied as the image shown on the screen quickly mesmerized him as always. Since the hospital upgraded their machines 2 years ago, they are now able to view a lifelike image of what was inside his stomach and he couldn't help but feel overwhelmed as he waited for his baby to show up. This is already his fourth pregnancy and it still gives him so much joy and thrill every time.

Daniel patiently waited, watching the screen until many minutes later they finally found his baby comfortably curled down sleeping inside him.

"Here it is! One head, no extra limbs, and certainly no bumps..." The doctor happily announced and Daniel chuckled, quickly glancing at Laotian. Laotian on the other hand was also captivated before he leaned down to kiss his wife's forehead. As doctor Mendrez said earlier, it was still very small but they could already see that it was indeed a tiny human inside him.
