After rubbing the abdomen, the doctor picked up the probe and began to examine it.
“My mother mentioned that the medical conditions weren’t very good back then, and the baby didn’t live for more than three days after birth.” Mrs. Xia recalled what she had heard when she was a child. “It was probably a sad thing, so they stopped talking about it later.”
"That must be it!" The doctor pointed to the screen. "There really are two, but the other one is a bit smaller."
"How can two babies in the same belly be one big and one small?" Madam Xia was puzzled again.
"One possibility is that they are fraternal twins, conceived at different times, perhaps with a difference of a few minutes or hours," the doctor speculated.
"Will everything be alright? The younger one?" Madam Xia thought of her twin sister, a hint of worry appearing on her face.
"No, Mrs. Xia, don't worry." The doctor shook his head. "The development is complete and meets the requirements. It's just that the larger one may have absorbed more of the nutrients."
After the check-up, Mrs. Xia couldn't wait to tell the fathers waiting outside the door the wonderful news: "Twins! Twins! Our Ya Jing is amazing!"
Upon learning that the conception was due to fraternal twins and a difference in timing, Xia Changlong looked at Zhou Pengfei with a wicked grin: "My daughter is as beautiful as an angel, but you'd better watch out, kid! How many times a night are you a wolf? How thirsty are you?"
Zhou Pengfei's face turned red instantly. Could his father-in-law please not reveal his past in front of the three families?
"Tch! Boss Xia!" Yang Yajing walked over, her belly protruding. "Where's your experience to share? Back in the day, Sister Tao was a beauty, wasn't she? You held back?"
"You little brat, are you trying to make fun of me? Looking for a beating?"
Xia Changlong's eyes widened in surprise when Madam Xia stepped in front of Yang Yajing, saying, "If you dare to hit my precious daughter, I'll never forgive you!"
"Hahahaha!" Everyone burst into laughter. Of the three families, Yang Yajing is now the eldest!
Having twins is no easy feat. In just one month, Yang Yajing's belly grew like an inflated balloon.
Now she can't even see her own feet anymore, and she can't even put on socks. Zhou Pengfei has to do it all for her. She's really become unable to take care of herself!
Fortunately, she doesn't have to wear shoes at home. Yang Yajing thinks that whoever invented slippers deserves a big reward!
Because it was twins, Yang Yajing wanted a natural birth and didn't want to have a C-section. The doctor said she should move around a lot to prevent the babies from growing too big.
As a result, every day in the garden, you could see the two mothers of the Xia family, one on each side, arm in arm with Yang Yajing as they walked around in circles.
Mrs. Xia knew the little ones could hear her, so she took out a homemade pull-cord telephone and spoke to the little one in Yang Yajing's belly.
What?: "I'm your grandma! Big baby, you need to be considerate and let the little baby eat more! If you grow too big and can't squeeze out the food, you'll suffer! Be good!"
What? "Grandma, I'll sing you nursery rhymes! And then another grandma will sing for you too?"
What?! "Your grandma can play the piano! She'll play it for you tonight to cultivate your minds, so get a good night's sleep!"
One thing after another, and the other two mothers even joined in the hilarious antics—it was absolutely amazing!
By the eighth month, the three mothers started discussing whether or not to hire a postpartum nanny.
The final result was: none of the three mothers wanted to accept it!
Although Sylvia Chang has never given birth herself, she raised Yang Ya-ching from a young age and has experience in childbirth.
Sun Huiwen also prefers to take care of the children herself, saying that this is how she feels closer to them.
Tao Jiaxuan, who never had the chance to raise children in the past, is now excited and wants to make up for her past regrets.
"Dear mothers!" Yang Yajing shook her head helplessly, "Taking care of children is tiring, especially taking care of two at once. Who else is as excited as you?"
"What's so tiring about it?" Mrs. Xia shook her head. "You're so lucky! You have three mothers! You just need to breastfeed, and then you can sleep! We work three shifts, so each of us only works eight hours! That's a few hours less than a regular workday!"
"Are you suggesting I wash my hands of the business? What about Zhou Pengfei?"
"Him? His job is just to take good care of you!" Sun Huiwen's motherly tone rose as well.
Sylvia Chang is the most experienced, and she's used to going to bed early and waking up early, so she insists on taking care of the students late at night.
Unable to win the argument, Sun Huiwen took over the first half of the night, leaving Tao Jiaxuan to work the night shift alone.
The Xia residence has plenty of rooms, and these three families plan to move in and stay here for six months!
Yang Yajing no longer had the energy to argue with them. She seemed to be particularly sleepy lately, and their chatter sounded like a lullaby to her.
She would fall asleep before the results were even discussed.
Before nine months had even passed, the two babies in her belly couldn't stay still any longer, and Yang Yajing's water broke more than three weeks early.
There was no time to wait for the ambulance. Yang Yajing, with a cotton blanket on her back, was taken to the delivery room in Xia Changlong's incredibly expensive luxury car.
"Boss Xia, you need to wash your car properly!" Yang Yajing joked before entering the delivery room.
"Why are you worried about my car?" Xia Changlong glared at Yang Yajing. "Besides, I can brag to them later that their mother came here in my car to unload goods!"
"Unloading? What are you talking about, old man?" Madam Xia smacked Xia Changlong with a hammer. "Is our Ya Jing a shipping container?"
"Hahahaha!" Yang Yajing couldn't stop laughing, but then she twitched again, "Hiss... Oh my..."
"Take a deep breath! Take a deep breath!" Zhou Pengfei quickly followed the doctor's instructions. "Relax...take a deep breath...inhale...exhale...are you feeling better?"
"Hmm! Much better!" Yang Yajing asked, "How often is it happening now?"
Zhou Pengfei glanced at his watch: "Twenty minutes."
"It'll be soon! Ring the bell when it's every ten minutes, shall we?" Yang Yajing nodded. "Do you want to go into the delivery room?"
"I want to... but I'm nervous... will I make things worse?" Zhou Pengfei scratched his head.
"I'm the one giving birth, why are you so nervous?" Yang Yajing said speechlessly.
"Um... I get nervous whenever you're in pain!"
"Can't you improve a bit?" Yang Yajing rolled her eyes.
Just then, a nurse came to check on the progress and overheard this conversation. She smiled and said to Yang Yajing, "New fathers are all like this. This gentleman is still relatively sensible; he's still rational. I've even seen people faint in the delivery room!"
"Zhou Pengfei, you dare to try and knock me out?" Yang Yajing glanced at Zhou Pengfei.
"Maybe I shouldn't go in? I'm afraid I'll really faint!" Zhou Pengfei said with a fawning expression.
Zhou Pengfei was probably frightened by the stories of two mothers who suffered severe bleeding during childbirth recently; he was actually putting on a brave face. If you looked closely, you could see that his legs were trembling slightly.
Yang Yajing noticed this as well, which is why she said some lighthearted things to ease the atmosphere.
With a sigh, Yang Yajing reached out and took the record board from Zhou Pengfei: "I'll do it myself!"
Then she turned to the nurse and said, "It's been about once every ten minutes. Could you please check how many centimeters I'm dilated?"
The nurse nodded and drew the curtain: "You're almost six centimeters dilated, it's about time you went into the delivery room."
