“Tomorrow is the prenatal examination for the third month. How about we go to your parents after the check-up?” Duan Yizhou helped Luo Songran put on clean clothes, and as he pulled down his shirt, his gaze fell on Luo Songran’s slightly bulging belly.

This guy was quite slim, and logically, for someone with Luo Songran’s physique, it shouldn’t be too obvious that he’s pregnant at three months. But now, it’s becoming a bit noticeable. If the clothes were any tighter, the outline of the baby bump would be more pronounced.

Is the little one inside getting overweight? Has this guy been eating a lot lately? It seems like he’s been eating quite a bit.

Luo Songran pondered for a moment, thinking about how to tell Duan Yizhou that his family already knew about them, and he was not sure if he knew about his grandfather planning to approach him. He was afraid that his family might scare Duan Yizhou away.

“Sure.”

Duan Yizhou touched his slightly bulging belly and then lifted him onto his lap, his hands supporting his waist. “It’s been a few days since I last held you. It feels like your belly has grown a lot. Have you been eating a lot at home recently?”

The two embraced each other face to face, just like they used to.

“Not really, I miss you so much that I eat everything I see. I’ve been longing for the meals you make these days when we’re not together.” 

Duan Yizhou indulgently smiled. “Really? Aren’t you always complaining that my cooking isn’t good?”

“Actually, your cooking is quite delicious. I’ve gotten used to it now, even though it’s not exceptionally good. ” Luo Songran said truthfully. It’s true; although Duan Yizhou’s cooking isn’t exceptionally good, he seems to have grown accustomed to it.

Duan Yizhou held him, thinking about Luo Songran’s grandfather wanting to approach him. He didn’t know if he knew anything. He furrowed his brows slightly. “RanRan, how about we find a time to be honest with your family? Just like I said before, I fell in love with you at first sight, and then love grew over time. The child is something that couldn’t be helped.”

Luo Songran sat on Duan Yizhou’s lap, lowered his gaze, and looked at Duan Yizhou. Seeing him always being so aggrieved, he felt uncomfortable in his heart. His nose was a little sore.

Thinking like this, he wrapped her arms around Duan Yizhou’s shoulders and buried his head in his shoulder. “Brother.”

Hearing the melancholy tone in Luo Songran’s voice, Duan Yizhou couldn’t help but furrow his brows. He thought he might have said something wrong. “What’s wrong? Did I say something wrong?” 

He touched the back of the person in his arms.

“Don’t always feel so wronged. It’s clearly my fault.” Luo Songran leaned against Duan Yizhou’s shoulder, looking at his jawline, reaching out to touch it. “I’ll make it clear to them again. I won’t let you be troubled.”

He really made Duan Yizhou suffer a lot. Why should he let Duan Yizhou suffer so much? He regretted it. Now, thinking about it, he felt uncomfortable. It’s absolutely impossible for him to marry into their family.

“What are you saying?” Duan Yizhou looked down at him, smiling gently. “Are you saying you deliberately seduced me with sex pheromones?”

“That’s exactly what I did.” Luo Songran happened to meet Duan Yizhou’s gaze, which was so close, and raised his chin to kiss his lips. He reached up to his neck with both hands. “It was my fault. I didn’t want you to hide behind that excuse for me. I was wrong, and I admit it.”

He did admit his mistake.

“Why are you being so obedient?”

“Just like I’ve fallen in love with you, I now openly admit that I love you very much. I can’t do without you.” The two looked into each other’s eyes, perhaps never having such a straightforward confrontation about their feelings. In this moment, their love was communicated, and the deep affection deepened their kiss.

The light from the French windows outside shone through the white curtains and fell on the two embracing and kissing on the bed, like a gentle halo, enveloping their small world that belonged only to them. Luo Songran only realized now that falling in love really happens in an instant. So he must not let Duan Yizhou suffer for him again. Just like how Duan Yizhou treats him.

Hospital, in the B-ultrasound room, Luo Songran lay on the bed, and after lifting his shirt, Dr. Su applied gel to his pregnant belly. The coolness made him unable to stay still.

“I feel like his belly is getting a bit obvious.” Duan Yizhou, who was beside him, saw him moving and held his hand. “Be good, don’t move.”

Dr. Su nodded and then slid the instrument on his belly. She looked up at the screen and after a while, there was a hint of surprise in her eyes. “Do you see it? Two gestational sacs.”

Duan Yizhou looked up, and under his calm eyes, ripples spread out. Only on the monitor, two gestational sacs were breathing in and out, such obvious signs. 

He’s actually having twins?!

“Twin babies.” Luo Songran grabbed Duan Yizhou’s hand. It seemed that when he was hospitalized a few days ago, they didn’t say he was pregnant with twins.

“Yeah, two little babies.” Duan Yizhou suppressed his inner joy, lowered his head and rubbed Luo Songran’s head, asking in a very gentle tone, “Are you scared?”

…His little sweetheart is pregnant with twins.

Luo Songran shook his head, just feeling a little surprised. “Just like my dad and uncle, they are also twins. Now I also have a pair of twins. No wonder I feel like I’m gaining weight a bit fast recently.”

Duan Yizhou felt very full of love from Luo Songran’s words, that kind of emotional touch made him feel moved as a husband and as a father. “No, you’re not gaining weight too fast. You’re still too thin now.”

“It’s normal. If it’s twins, they’ll grow faster. So you’ll need to come to the hospital for more frequent check-ups.” Dr. Su changed to a fetal heart monitor. “We’ll do a uterine environment check later. After all, as a beta, the uterine wall is not as soft as an omega’s. Twins need to be checked carefully.”

Luo Songran felt the instrument on his belly, and the sound of breathing came into his ears, followed by two different rhythms of heartbeat, strong and cheerful thumping in his ears. He froze, in that moment, his eyes gradually reddening. In fact, he had no concept of children at all. Even though he had been pregnant for three months now, besides his appetite and morning sickness making him feel pregnant, he felt no different from usual. Until he heard the heartbeat of the child.

It’s different, completely different. He seemed to feel the child really inside him, two vibrant little lives, their heartbeats were so strong, as if responding to him. It’s also as if they’re calling him Papa.

Duan Yizhou was also like this. He took off his glasses, lowered his eyes, and silently wiped the lenses. His eyes gradually warmed. This time, he felt more acutely that he had become a father. The sound of the child’s heartbeat made him extremely happy.

“Daddy~”

Suddenly his arm was grabbed by Luo Songran. This coquettish call made Duan Yizhou stunned for half a second, meeting the playful eyes of his little sweetheart. He was trying hard to restrain the emotions disturbed by this call, helplessly laughing, “Don’t call me that way.”

Luo Songran raised an eyebrow, “But you are one.”

Saying that, he cheekily called out again, “Daddy!”

Duan Yizhou turned away and cleared his throat, “Save it for when we get home.” A slight curve appeared on his lips, revealing his joy.

Dr. Su looked at the two in front of her and smiled, “Congratulations, you two, on the twins.”

Since the examination of the uterine environment would take some time, Duan Yizhou stood outside the examination room waiting. After about fifteen minutes, the door to the examination room opened. He saw Luo Songran walking out behind his friend, Su Yi, looking a bit awkward, with a slight furrow of his brow.

Right, the examination involved inserting instruments.

“How did the examination go?”

Dr. Su handed the report to Duan Yizhou. “Beta individuals naturally have a smaller uterine cavity, so it’s normal. Since Songran is pregnant with twins, if the uterine cavity is too small, it’s not conducive to the development of the children. He needs to take estrogen injections for two months to help the uterine cavity develop. You can leave after he gets the injection.”

Duan Yizhou pulled the somewhat listless Luo Songran over, seeing that he seemed a bit unhappy, he took the report and asked, “Are there any side effects to this estrogen?”

“Yes, there may be body aches or low-grade fever, but it’s normal. Drink plenty of water and rest.” Dr. Su couldn’t help but laugh at the sight of Duan Yizhou’s little sweetheart’s drooping face, “He might be a bit scared.”

“What’s wrong?” Duan Yizhou also noticed.

Luo Songran grabbed Duan Yizhou’s sleeve, sighed, and raised his hand to gesture a ‘6’, “I have to take 6 shots. The needle is quite thick and it has to be injected into the belly.” After saying that, he became even more hesitant.

Duan Yizhou’s expression also wrinkled upon hearing this. “I see. It must be painful. What if you cry?”

He glanced at his friend, indicating to ask if the injection was painful. Dr. Su nodded and raised her hand to indicate the thickness of the needle. Duan Yizhou fell silent when he saw the size of the needle.

Luo Songran widened his eyes. Hearing Duan Yizhou’s words, he felt a little aggrieved, “Hey, I won’t cry, okay? I’m a man.”

“Really?”

“Of course, why would I lie to you?”

Five minutes later—

“Waaah… This needle is outrageous.” Luo Songran lay on the hospital bed, injected with 6 shots of estrogen into his belly. The needle was thicker than usual, about 4 centimeters long, and was pushed directly into his belly. The first shot wasn’t that painful, but the consecutive ones were really painful.

Enduring it all, Luo Songran knew that men don’t easily shed tears, but when it’s necessary, they should. He grabbed Duan Yizhou’s hand tightly and sobbed.

Duan Yizhou let his little sweetheart hold his hand, feeling a bit painful, but he still felt more distressed for Luo Songran. Watching the 6 needles being pushed into his slightly bulging pregnant belly, he also furrowed his brow.

After the injections were done, Luo Songran felt completely unhappy. He remained silent as he left the hospital. After getting in the car, Duan Yizhou leaned over to the passenger seat to fasten Luo Songran’s seatbelt. Seeing his lowered brows and eyes, at that moment, he was embraced from behind.

“Daddy.” Luo Songran stared at Duan Yizhou with a plaintive gaze.

Duan Yizhou was instantly amused by his seemingly crying appearance, with a slight curve on his lips. “What’s wrong?”

“I sacrificed so much to carry twins. Don’t you have anything to say?” Luo Songran leaned as if to sit on Duan Yizhou’s lap.

Duan Yizhou knew he wanted a hug again. He pressed the button on the side, and the seat slowly moved back to give enough space for Luo Songran to sit in his arms. When he sat in his lap, Duan Yizhou held his waist with his hands, “What do you want me to do?”

Luo Songran leaned back slightly, pretending to be unhappy, “Can you satisfy all my wishes?”

Duan Yizhou chuckled, “Is there anything I can’t satisfy you with? I can give you anything you want.” 

Knowing that the little sweetheart was upset because of the injection just now, he naturally had to coax him. But he never expected that Luo Songran’s request was temporarily impossible to fulfill.

“I want you.” Luo Songran lowered his head, pressing his forehead against Duan Yizhou’s, “Daddy, can you hold me tonight? I miss you so much.”

Duan Yizhou almost instantly understood what Luo Songran meant. Helplessly, he said, “Baby, not now.”

“But I just want this.” Luo Songran muttered, glancing at him, “Otherwise, I won’t be happy. I’ll be happy if I’m held.”

“Nothing else?”

“No.”

“Not even a car ride?”

“I don’t want to ride in the car.”

“What about a motorcycle?”

“I don’t want it.”

Duan Yizhou had no choice. He lightly patted Luo Songran’s waist with his palm, “Then, is this okay?”

This action almost made Luo Songran instantly understand.

Luo Songran forcibly suppressed the excessive curvature of his lips, feeling secretly delighted. With a smile in his eyes, he said, “Yes, yes!”

Hearing the rise in his tone, Duan Yizhou knew he was feeling better. He kissed him on the cheek and said, “Then sit back properly and let me drive home.”

“Okay, Daddy~”

Duan Yizhou took the wheel, seeing his little sweetheart sitting properly and fastening his seatbelt, shaking his head helplessly, but his eyes were full of tender indulgence.
