Chapter 16: CH 15

Pregnant?!

How could he, an Alpha, possibly be pregnant?!

Pei Zhaozhou questioned the doctor with a skeptical look. “Doctor, are you sure you didn’t mix up the test reports?”

Out of pity, especially for an irritable pregnant Alpha husband, the doctor once again went through the medical report, until there was no trace of error left. Finally, the doctor adjusted his glasses and solemnly said, “No matter how many times, Mr. Pei, your HCG levels consistently show an increase.”

“What is HCG?” Pei Zhaozhou asked, not understanding.

The doctor explained, “HCG stands for human chorionic gonadotropin. Normally, such increased levels are seen in expectant mothers. If the patient still doubts, you can go back and take another pregnancy test.”

Pei Zhaozhou had a complex expression and asked, “Then why can Alphas get pregnant? I’ve never heard of Alphas getting pregnant before.”

The doctor explained, “Normally, during the differentiation stage, which occurs between the ages of 12 and 20, regardless of whether the first sexual characteristics are male or female, individuals possess both sets of reproductive systems. If they differentiate into alphas, the original reproductive cavity meant for procreation will atrophy, so it is rare for male alphas to become pregnant.”

“But there are exceptions. If the sexual desire of a male Alpha is intense and their reproductive cavity is accidentally opened by their partner, pregnancy is possible. However, such cases of Alpha pregnancy are relatively rare in the medical field.”

Pei Zhaozhou’s ears burned, and he listened to the doctor’s words with a tense expression. He didn’t want to admit that he had lost control that night due to desire and willingly opened his reproductive cavity as an Alpha.

And now, it turned out that Sui Huaixi had hit the nail on the head.

He was really pregnant!

Pei Zhaozhou’s eyes showed a hint of distress, but as he looked at the words “diagnosed with pregnancy” on the medical record, a sweet sense of contentment surged within his heart, akin to a refreshing spring.

He would nurture a new life inside his belly.

It felt unfamiliar, yet it also brought him joy.

Ever since he was diagnosed with hormonal imbalance by the hospital, the doctor had informed him of his infertility. He had thought that he would never have his own offspring, and his heart had turned bleak and desolate.

But now…

Pei Zhaozhou cautiously placed his hand on his belly, feeling the firmness of his abdominal muscles that had yet to soften, giving no indication that he was carrying a new life.

His amber-golden eyes suddenly softened, carrying a certain expectation. Like a melting snow-capped mountain, when the snowwater on the mountaintop encountered the warmth of spring, it transformed into cool streams, awakening a field just thawed from the winter. His heart softened like moist soil.

Pei Zhaozhou’s eyes were determined as he thought to himself, ‘He wants to bring this little life into the world!’

However, the doctor’s words poured cold water on his enthusiasm. “Due to the narrow reproductive cavity in Alphas, it poses a significant challenge for an Alpha husband to give birth. In the few cases of Alpha pregnancy, difficulties during the delivery process have been observed, resulting in severe tearing and massive bleeding from the reproductive cavity. Even if they manage to save the situation, it still takes a long time to recover post-surgery.”

The doctor earnestly advised, “Considering your other medical conditions and the fact that you’ve never experienced the symptoms of Alpha pheromone disorder during pregnancy, this is a dual risk and an unprecedented occurrence in medical history. As a doctor, I strongly urge you to carefully consider whether you should proceed with the pregnancy, as it may pose a certain life-threatening danger.”

Pei Zhaozhou’s heart sank, but after careful consideration, he couldn’t bear to give up. He sincerely said to the doctor, “I will do my best to cooperate with the doctor. I still hope to give birth to this child.”

Failing to persuade Pei Zhaozhou, the doctor reluctantly handed him a prescription for prenatal care, filled with precautions, and kindly said, “I will contact medical experts in this field, but I hope you can discuss this matter with the other biological father. Alpha pheromones from the husband may not be sufficient for the baby’s development, so another biological father needs to contribute as well.”

Pei Zhaozhou held the prescription and looked up, asking, “How can it be provided?”

The doctor replied, “Skin contact, kissing, hugging, and marking are all viable options, but the best way is to make love. Due to the underdeveloped reproductive cavity of Alpha husbands, engaging in moderate physical activity with your spouse can reduce the risk of reproductive cavity tearing during childbirth.”

Pei Zhaozhou blushed, but thinking about the life in his belly, he suppressed his inner shyness and asked, “But isn’t it risky to engage in such activities during pregnancy?”

The doctor reassured, “It’s fine as long as the Alpha is physically strong. Once you get past the first few months of pregnancy, it’s okay to follow the doctor’s advice and engage in appropriate physical activity.”

Pei Zhaozhou nodded and said, “Okay, thank you, doctor.”

Outside the hospital room, Si Huaixi had been waiting on a nearby chair for a long time. When he saw Pei Zhaozhou finally coming out, he immediately approached with a concerned expression and asked, “Brother Pei, how did the check-up go?”

Pei Zhaozhou’s expression was extremely serious and nervous. He carefully folded the pregnancy examination report and put it in his pocket, then met Si Huaixi’s gaze and said, “I have something very important to tell you.”
