Space

"It's okay sister Clara, I got this." Forcing her to sit down, Mian sighed, "You do know that brother Ben will be angry if he finds out you were in the kitchen all by yourself in the middle of the night?"

Helplessly shaking her head, Clara chuckled, "He is too much, he wouldn't even let me puff the pillows so I scolded him but he started making that cute puppy face so I couldn't do anything else."

"Well, you can't blame brother Ben for being extra cautious. The first trimester is almost over but the harder phase will start now so you have to be extra careful," Mian instructed.

"See I told Zian not to worry about anything, you already know so much," she smiled.

"Zian? What was he worrying about?" Mian curiously inquired before passing Clara the sandwich.

"He was asking me about the food pregnant women should avoid, in fact, he took a picture of the list that aunt Anna gave me. For a second I thought you were pregnant too but he told me it's nothing like that, he is just collecting information. I think he wants a baby too," she answered.

Raising her brows, Mian asked, "Really? Zian asked you all of that?"

Clara nodded her head and added, "Yes, I was surprised too."

Thinking for a while, Mian chuckled, "I will talk to him about it later, I didn't know he wanted to have a baby. I remember he was telling me that it's too soon to have one."

"Well, you guys just got married so it's obviously soon but you have a baby now or after the five years, the responsibilities will be the same right? That's not gonna change no matter how much you delay having one," Clara explained.

….

Mian and Zian's room.

Wrapping his arms around her waist, Zian sighed, "Where did you go? I missed you."

"I was downstairs," Mian answered.

Slowly opening his eyes, he frowned, "In the middle of the night? Aren't you afraid of ghosts?"

Pulling his cheeks, she chuckled, "You are the biggest ghost in my life."

"You mean a handsome ghost?"

Running her fingers through his hair, she sighed, "Honey, if you want us to have a baby you could have straightaway told me, why—"

"Wait what? Who wants a baby again? Is someone pregnant again?" Scrunching his brows, he snapped, "Too many pregnancies happening lately and it's really very disturbing."

"No one is pregnant and what do you mean by too many? Who else is pregnant other than sister Clara?" she suspiciously inquired.

Hesitating for a while, he answered, 'T-There is this guy in our office who is pregnant."

"Guy is pregnant?" she frowned.

"Babe how can a guy be pregnant? You are a doctor, you should know."

"But you just—"

Cutting her off, he added, "I meant the guy's wife is pregnant and he wants to take a leave."

Widening his eyes in shock, he snapped, "What? Now from where did a baby come from? Mian, I am your baby, take care of me first."

"Why not? Sister Clara and brother Ben are having one and Yumi was telling me they are going with the flow as well. Why can't we start trying?" When he did not say anything, she insisted, "If we start trying now, we will definitely have after a year."

"No honey, if we try now, we will have a baby very soon. You have no idea how fruitful my sperms are, you'll definitely get pregnant as soon as we start trying," he explained.

Rolling her eyes at him, she scoffed, "Stop gloating about your sperm, you are too much Zian." Sitting up straight, she sighed, "Everyone is trying or having one, I want one too."

Placing his hand on her shoulder, he sighed, "This isn't some kind of a competition Mian, we can take our own sweet time. Now can we please take a nap, I am feeling very sleepy."

"You sleep, I'll go out for a walk."

"Now? It's four in the morning," he retorted before pulling her into his embrace. "It's sleeping time." When she did not say anything, he sighed, "You really want one?"

"I am not saying I want one now but we can start trying, right?"

Left with no other choice, Zian nodded his head, "Okay, we can go with the flow too."

Snuggling closer, she smiled, "I love you."

Kissing the top of her head, he muttered, "I am sure you will love the baby more after we have one."

"Of course not, you will always be my most loved man baby," she chuckled.

Morning

Hospital

When Qiang woke up, Guang was already sitting up straight eating his breakfast provided by the hospital.

"You are up? What time is it?" she inquired.

Kissing the back of her hand, he answered, "It's ten in the morning, the doctor already left and the nurse changed the bandage."

"Why didn't you wake me up? And what are you eating?" Looking at the bland bowl of porridge he was eating, she frowned, "You hate porridge, why are you eating it?"

"The hospital provided me with this and I was hungry so—"

"Stop eating that, I'll ask someone to send some food for you."Walking towards his side, she took the bowl from his hand and placed it on the table.

Grabbing her hand, Guang made her sit right beside him. "You know I love you right?"

Placing her hand on his cheek, she nodded her head. "I know, I love you too."

"Sorry for yesterday, the space thing. I shouldn't have said all of that," he sighed.

Contemplating for a while, she stated, "About the space thing, I think we should reconsider that."

"Y-You really want it? I thought—"

Cutting him off, she explained, "By space I didn't mean personal space."

Scrunching his brows, he inquired, "What are you talking about then?"
