Even the doctor performing the examination was startled by her tears and quickly handed her a tissue, âWhy are you crying?â
âIâm so happy to hear that thereâs a fetal bud and heartbeat,â Veronica said. This step can be considered a milestone in pregnancy, as some natural miscarriages occur at this stage, resulting in the loss of the baby.
âDonât worry, the fetal bud and heartbeat of the baby are good now. It must be a healthy baby,â the doctor said.
âThank you,â Veronica said.
When Veronica came out of the ultrasound room, Mason rushed up to her and asked, âWhatâs wrong?
Is there any problem with the test results?â
âNo,â she shook her head and cried tears of joy again. âThe baby is very healthy, with a fetal bud and heartbeat!â
âThen why are you crying?â he said, wiping away the tears from her face.
âThese are tears of joy,â she muttered.
âBut even if they are tears of joy, I donât want you to cry,â Mason whispered. âWhen I see your tears, I always feel a little sad.â
Veronica sniffled and tried to stop her tears, while Mason took a tissue and carefully wiped away the tears from her face.
âOkay, letâs go to your house,â Veronica said proactively. âTell them that we have a baby and weâre getting married!â
âOkay!â Mason said.
In the evening, the Reed family gathered around the dining table, ready to eat. Before dinner, Jasper couldnât help but ask, âMason, did you ask us all to come home for dinner tonight because thereâs something you want to tell us?â
âYes, there is something I want to say,â Mason said.
âItâs not that youâre going to get engaged to Veronica, is it?â Jasper said. She only said this casually and didnât take it seriously.
Even if Mason really wanted to get engaged to Veronica, it would be after they graduated from college.
But then, Masonâs words made the whole family look shocked.
âNot engaged, but married. Iâm going to marry Veronica in two months!â said Mason.
âMarried?â Jasperâs voice was clearly off-key.
Mick looked puzzled. âWhy the rush?â
Jason and Grace were the quickest to recover from their shock.
They looked at each other as if they had guessed something.
âVeronica is pregnant, so I want to get married as soon as possible,â Mason seemed determined to shock them.
Jasper widened his eyes and looked at Mason in disbelief. âMason, are you serious?â
âDo you think Iâm joking?â Mason asked back.
Jasper closed his mouth and felt that he needed time to sort out his feelings.
Pregnant? Veronica is pregnant?!
âDoes that mean Iâm going to be an aunt?â 11-year-old Jasmine asked innocently. Although she is now 150cm tall, her face still has a childish look, with chubby cheeks that make her look very cute.
âUmâ¦yes, youâre going to be an aunt,â Jasper replied nervously. And she was going to be an aunt, and her parentsâ¦were going to be grandparents, which seemed a bit early.
But thinking about the new member of the family who was about to be born, Jasper was filled with excitement.
Thinking about the cute little baby, she couldnât wait for it to be born so she could hold it!
