Life After Marriage

A Man With Morning Sickness Too

Mother-In-Law laughed and said, "When a man really loves a woman, he will go through morning sickness with her!"

Xia Ying was going to be a mother and Han Lei was going to be a father. This meant that in another eight or night months, a little Xiao Ying or a little Han Lei would come out and say hi to everyone.

In the hospital, Mum rationally decided to ignore me when faced with my question. After leaving the hospital, these three people were instead planning on how to bring this surprise to everyone.

Han Lei solemnly informed everyone that there was an announcement to make. Hence making everyone's mood turned somber.

When we arrived at the Han residence, I was placed on the sofa and was met with everyone's concerned gazes as if I had unfortunately been infected with an incurable strange disease. From their expressions, I knew that they had believed it. They had fallen for those three's plan to deliberately create a "somber" atmosphere. As for me, I was forced to become an accomplice.

Faced with everyone's solemn expressions, Han Lei, who was sitting on the sofa with me in his arms, foolishly smiled typical of a prospective father, uh, radiantly smiled: "Let me tell you guys a good news! My woman's pregnant, listen clearly, pregnant! That means in eight or nine months, you guys will be promoted to great-great-grandmother, great-great-grandfather, great-grandmothers, great-grandfathers, uncles and aunties!"

Apart from the two women who knew what was going on and were secretly laughing, the rest of the members of the Han family plus our dads were completely stunned and were immersed in the reversal of the situation.

Thirty seconds passed, one minute passed, five minutes passed...

It was not until the tenth minute mark that everyone reacted to it. It couldn't be helped since this was the first time that the Han residence welcomed a joyous event. It really did need some time to adjust, especially with a baby on its way. But, didn't they think they took too long though?

After everyone finally got into their new promoted role, the Han residence was bustling with noise and excitement again.

Everyone casted their gaze on me again. This time it was a different kind of emotion: excited, moved, joyous, happy, magical, proud, congratulating, unimaginable...

Everyone was scrambling to congratulate us and express their excitement.

The true and second head of the household had tears brimming in their eyes and held my hand for a long time, unable to speak. It was clear that they had waited for this for a long time. Finally, Grandma Han patted my hand and affectionately said, "Child, if you need anything in the future, let us know. Our Han family is lacking in everything but manpower and resources!"

I firmly nodded. Believe me, I won't be polite when the time comes.

Then, the men surrounded Han Lei and patted him on the back. It seemed that this was the only way men congratulated each other. While the women surrounded me and fought to ask my current feelings.

After frolicking for a while, I met my Dad's somewhat dazed gaze.

I got up and sat beside him. He held my hand and somewhat excitedly said, "I'm, I'm going to be a Grandpa?"

I lightly nodded; although he basically didn't seem like one with his baby face.

Then he laughed and said, "Great! Great! Now that you have a child, I won't believe that your Mum wouldn't make me legal!" (as in remarry)

What's with this and that? This wasn't what I wanted to hear from him most.

"Now you can tell me about the story regarding the three women and one man in our house, right?" I repeated the question that I asked Mum before.
