638 Babys Momma (2/2)
Xiu rolled her eyes, ”Not because of the baby. It's baby's momma who wants a house now.” While Darren raised his brow, she scrunched up her face saying, ”Aiyo! Until today, I was just an old soul, and now calling myself baby's momma makes me feel plain old.”
Darren laughed at her words and pinched her nose adorably.
”We should tell mama about this. She'd be over the moon.”
Xiu nodded her head agreeably, ”Yes, she'd over the moon and that's why we should personally go to see her. Telling her over the phone won't be a good idea.”
”That's true,” agreed Darren.
”Actually, we should surprise her,” suggested Xiu.
”Hm? What do you have in mind?” asked Darren as he looked at her expressions. It was quite obvious that something was going on in that head of hers. She was definitely up to something again. But he didn't dissuade as always. After all, if she made him cry so easily, he'd love to see his mother's reaction as well. ”Should we just give the diary to her as well?”
”I don't reuse my surprises,” replied Xiu haughtily. ”Besides, this diary is not even for you. This is truly a journal meant for the baby. Also, with my brain, I can concoct a lot of ideas.”
”Of course, you can. So, what's the plan?”
Xiu smiled at him mysteriously as she said, ”Next week, I've another doctor's appointment. I'd tell you the plan after that.”
”Why so mysterious?” inquired Darren.
”Because my husband can't keep any secrets from his mama.”
”Oh.” That was all he could say in reply because he couldn't refute her words. He indeed was really bad at keeping secrets from his mother. But this time, he had to hold it in at any cost because he wanted to surprise his mother in a way that'd leave her speechless.
After a moment of silence, Xiu suddenly asked, ”Regan, you're happy right?”
”Is there a doubt?” he retorted.
Xiu shook her head, ”No.”
He caressed her head, ”For me, it's more important to know whether you're happy or not?”
”Honestly speaking, I wasn't at first,” she replied very honestly and it didn't even surprise Darren. ”But now I am.”
”What changed?” asked Darren with a frown.
Xiu's lips curved up slightly as her eyes softened.
