Chapter 364 - 355: The Inevitable Arrival_2
Dressed and fed, other than during childhood, it was only during this period of pregnancy that one could enjoy such care.
Since New Year’s Day, Qin Guanglin had started to feel as though each day was a year, closely monitoring He Fang’s fetal movements daily. He would often bend over to place his ear against her belly to listen in, which somewhat dissipated He Fang’s original tension, allowing her to relax and wait quietly for the day of labor to arrive.
Qin’s Mom had been familiarizing herself with this new home, the kitchen, the egg beater, the juicer, the bottle warmer... These were all novelties to her. Having lived in the old house with Qin Guanglin, she had never fussed with such devices, not paying much mind to the quality of life. Now, seeing their exquisite living conditions, she couldn’t help feeling comforted. Each generation being better than the last was the wish of every parent.
On the seventh, He’s Daddy rushed to Luo City, having only briefly informed the couple He Fang that he was coming, asking about the due date without clarifying when he would arrive. He only let them know he had arrived when he got off the train. Qin Guanglin quickly drove to pick him up. Along the way, he discussed with He Fang over WeChat, deciding to temporarily put him up in a hotel next to their street—as their home only had their own master bedroom, Qin’s Mom’s room, and a small room prepared for their daughter. It was natural not to move the father-in-law into the small room first; the small bed wouldn’t fit him anyway, so a temporary hotel stay it was.
By the tenth, at 2 p.m., He Fang began to experience contractions. Qin Guanglin, without a moment’s delay, grabbed the maternity bag, checked for their IDs, health insurance card, cash, and other such items, and together with Qin’s Mom, helped He Fang into the car. He’s Daddy took the passenger seat, and the family headed straight for the hospital.
"How are you feeling? Is the baby coming?"
While waiting for the traffic lights on the road, his palms were already soaked with sweat, tightly gripping the steering wheel, glancing at the two women in the backseat through the rearview mirror.
"It’s just contractions, not so soon..." At that moment, He Fang inexplicably felt calm, gripping Qin’s Mom’s hand, feeling the pain inside her.
The child was ready to come.
