Chapter 13.1

When it was night-time, he insisted on sleeping on the floor in the living room, refusing to go to the hotel, he was probably afraid I would run. So I ignored him, I threw him a pillow and a blanket, let him sleep on the couch.

The living room’s sofa is very short, and he is so big, so he could only curled up on top. I guess he must feel uncomfortable, because he has not fallen asleep, I also couldn’t sleep. I was also too full, how could I sleep? Although Lu Yu Jiang brought my baby bear brought from thousand miles away, I always thought that after our divorce, he would have thrown the teddy bear away, I didn’t expect him to keep. I asked him, “The bear wasn’t thrown away?” He didn’t seem to be angry, “I didn’t throw it away!”

Why did he want to keep this teddy bear? I couldn’t help but have many thoughts running through my mind, even though I was holding the teddy bear I couldn’t sleep. However, Lu Yu Jiang’s dumplings was really wonderful, how come I never seen he reveal these hands before? I didn’t think he was the same as my brother-in-law, he was elegant enough to show around to the guests, and diligent enough to make good cuisines.

I couldn’t sleep so I simply climb up, went to the living room and talked with Jiang Lu, “How did you find me?”

This is important. I just forgot to ask hi, recently I was intellectually decline, I do not know if it’s because of little soy bean in my womb, or it was because of the small soy bean in my head. Of course I want to protect little soy bean in my womb, so I behove the blames towards the small soy bean in my head. Although there was no indication that it’s growing, but it was arch-criminal, without it, would there be so much things?

The results Lu Yu Jiang closed an eye to say, “I’m not telling you!”

I was angry so I went back to sleep.

That night I slept exceeding well, I do not know if it was because I was on the winning end, or because the dumplings Lu Yu Jiang made was really good. Anyway, I had a black sweet sleep, when I woke up it was broad daylight.

Waiting for me to brush my teeth, Lu Yu Jiang had prepared breakfast. It seems like he really made brother-in-law’s braised pork in brown sauce, merely just a breakfast, he fried poached egg, hot milk, made congee, bought me a steamed stuffed bun from downstairs, specially roasted some hot toast.

I lived up to his expectations, eating everything there.

He was not a bit surprised at my appet.i.te, he just helped me to carry my bags and accompany me to the hospital.

The hospital from here was a short distance, walking there took less than ten minutes. Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, did all the basic inspection of the pregnant belly, everybody also had someone accompanying them. I felt that this time I had a feeling of exaltation upon fulfilment, the last time I come here alone, this caused everyone to stare at me with strange glances, today I also have someone accompanying me.

I specifically asked to have a B ultrasound done, I said, “I haven’t done this before so I’m a little worried.”

In fact, I lied, when little soy bean was still the size of a small bean, I’ve done it once. But today I was prepared, the doctor agreed, gave me a simple check list.

This antenatal care B ultrasonic room allowed family members to go in. This time my luck was not bad, a very kind and warm female doctor did the examination, this female doctor was already a mother, so towards pregnant women she had a very good temper. I pestering asked her questions, completely standard mother’s curiosity. She was very patient pointing out to me, “This is the baby’s little head, this is the baby’s arm, this is the baby’s heart……”

The child has been formed, from the screen you could see what he/she may look like, especially the heart, one after the other, plop plop, so strong as if he/she wanted to tell me something. I secretly glanced over at Lu Yu Jiang, he has been completely stunned, just staring at the screen, he looked like he wanted to drill into the screen, and our child’s heart beat was like a black hole, sucking all our visions inside it. I secretly laughed. After the female doctor gave us the report results and on top there was ultrasound scans photos, a hazy body shape baby, curled up like a frog. She smiled and said, “You can keep this as a souvenir, this is the first photo of your baby!”

Lu Yu Jiang placed the reports in his hand, same as holding a baby, I saw him smile, even I didn’t know why he was smiling.

I dragged him upstairs, he also don’t know what I’m doing, his mind was somewhat unhinged as he follow me, I know that his soul was absorbed by the plop plop little heart. I took him to the neonatal observation room, through the big gla.s.s we could see many little baby, a row of babies sleeping in the warm box, so tiny, each one of them were less a hot water bottle in size. Some were crying, some were sleeping, some had their eyes open……

The last time I came here I stayed for a long time, not wanting to leave. Lu Yu Jiang legs also did not move, he excitedly pointed out to me, “You see that, in his fist, and this, actually yawning! Really tiny! You can see his mouth, very interesting!”

He and I had our faces up close on the gla.s.s, looking at the little angels, each of them is G.o.d’s greatest gift to mankind. Standing here, my heart will melt away, I thought of my belly’s little soy bean. Now it more likely a big soy bean, he/she has a head, arms, legs, he/she has a heart, in a few months, he/she would be born, like all babies, come into this world, making me feel over the moon.

Lu Yu Jiang turned to me and smiled, and then gently held my hand, moving a little forward, behind the gla.s.s to see those little face, each one of them are so cute. Until a nurse pa.s.s by, she kindly asked us, “Do you want to see your baby? Which cot is it? And it’s wrist card, I can carry them out for you.”
