To Embrace A Soul

Chapter 22

Babies... Wonderful bundles of joy. These tiny beings are the future of humanity. One day, they'll embark on a journey towards greatness. They'll change the future of the world.

Or so they taught at pregnancy class.

Xiaotang yawned widely. The pregnancy instructor, or so she liked to call herself, was blabbering on and on about babies blah blah blah. Xiaotang wasn't paying attention. Shuxin was paying attention, however. Her due date was approaching and she needed to know everything she needed to know.

"So, class," the pregnancy instructor smiled so irritatingly wide that Xiaotang frowned, "today we are going to practice taking care of a baby. On your tables are baby robots specially designed to mimic a baby. There's one for each parent."

"Aren't these the ones you buy for you kid to prepare them for when they get a new sibling?" Xiaotang mumbled as she picked the naked robot up by its leg.

"Careful!" Shuxin reprimanded her. "It's a delicate baby!"

"Delicate baby, my ass!" Xiaotang grumbled.

"Now couples, please," the pregnancy instructor smiled oh-so annoyingly. "Take a diaper and properly put it on a baby."

Shuxin took the diaper and swiftly fitted it onto her robot baby. Xiaotang annoyedly ripped off the straps and roughly slipped it on the baby.

"Xiaotang!" Shuxin scolded her wife softly. "Be gentle with the baby!"

"It's a robot, Shuxin," Xiaotang exasperatedly sighed.

Shuxin went back to work. Xiaotang decided to observe the other couples around them.

"Lisa!" a pregnant cat-eyed girl on the table beside them exclaimed. "You're putting the diaper on the wrong way!"

"Really?" the girl, Lisa, asked as she scratched her head. "But Jen, it's the right way!"

"No it isn't!"

"Yes it is!"

Xiaotang turned to another table to observe the other couple.

"Youngsun~" a girl who looks oh-so attractive but kind of like a hamster leaned onto her pregnant wife's shoulder. "I did what you told me!"

"Good, Byul," the pregnant girl replied.

"Do I get a reward?"

"What reward do you have in mind?"

"Maybe a kiss?"

Xiaotang turned away cringing when the couple began to suck each other's face off. The CEO looked at her watch. There was still half an hour left of class.

"Very good!!" the instructor lady said as she observed the couples. "Very good!"

Xiaotang rolled her eyes. Shuxin elbowed her.

"Ow!" Xiaotang rubbed her sides. "Alright, woman. I'll behave."

"Alright, everyone," the pregnancy instructor clapped her hands. "It's time for the Q and A session!"

All the parents sat down comfortably. Xiaotang made sure that Shuxin was in a comfortable position before turning her attention to the pregnancy instructor.

"So, who wants to begin today?" the pregnancy instructor asked.

A man at the back raised his hand.

"Yes, Kris?"

"I read somewhere that you shouldn't have sex during pregnancy. Can you clarify on that?"
