Chapter 72 - For her family (1/2)

It has been over two weeks Tristan and the others left. She was left behind with Tristan's parent and of course her family as well with the exception of Ralph. Ralph insists on following declaring it was his way to become a better brother for her. Alicia could only shook her head whenever she thought of his foolishness. He was already the perfect brother for her the moment he took her home and gave her a perfect family. He pulled her out of those horrid and dark life. And made her believe that her hand can also be used as saving people's life. Which is why she chose to be a doctor. Whatever happen during her mission and no matter how ugly the things that she saw during the mission, it was all wiped out the moment she hold her scalpel and save a life.

And now she's a wife and soon to be mother. It was something she never thought off. Her future doesn't seem to be dark nor dull. It was full of laughter. Thus, it made her forgot all about her dark childhood. What she's been through and the drugs that they put in her. She was happy. But with the recent incidents and findings she could not help but sigh. There are just some people who succ.u.mbs themselves with greed and wanted higher power in their life. Stroking her bump, she look outside the window staring at the cloudy night, seeking for a little bit of light from the moon. Hoping that she would receive news from Tristan and the others. She knew the risk of this mission and knew the do's and don'ts. No matter how eager she wanted to know their situation, she could not put them in danger nor expose her current whereabouts. She not only need to protect herself but she have other life to protect as well. For Tristan and for her family, she needed to stay strong. And by the time Tristan comes home, she will cry as hard as she can to complaint and such. She sighed again. After being married with Tristan she started to depended on Tristan more.

”Pregnant women should think of happy thought instead of mopping and sighing here while looking at the moon. Do you want your babies to have a grumpy look when they come out or become a crybaby?” Tristan's mother nagged as she put on a long shawl on Alicia's shoulder fearing that her daughter in law would be cold.

Alicia smile, feeling funny.

”You truly believe that? Never thought the number one and the most sought out doctor would actually believe that kind of...”

”It's not nonsense. Experience. You saw all of my sons, do you see any sweetness on their cold face? Always look grumpy like his father.” Mrs Luke, Tristan's mother who's also called Slyvia A. muttered with the unsatisfied look on her face. She didn't know if it was a curse or something but it seems that she will only have these rough boys in her family. But nevertheless she was proud of them despite being left behind constantly. For them to grow up and be human is already a surprising thing.

Having her sentence cut off and seeing the grumpy look on her mother in law's face, Alicia could only chuckled.

”Laugh now and then you'll see what i mean when the babies are out. I just hope there will be princess this time. I had enough of 'men' in my life.” Mrs Luke sighed.

”I know mother. I'll listen to you. But i guess maybe it will be a pair.” Alicia told her guts feeling.

”It's never wrong to put hope. Just, don't have high hopes. I don't want you to turn my grandchild into a confuse child with their gender.”

”Pfttt... That's not going happen. My instinct are never wrong.” Alicia refuted back. Slyvia's face start to brighten up when she heard that. She always knew Alicia had a good instinct. If it's true than she really need to order more babies clothes that suits for girl.
