Chapter 1459 Pregnant With Twins
Did something happen to the fetus?
Mary also had the same uneasy thoughts.
She anxiously asked the OB-GYN, "What's wrong, doctor? Say something! You're scaring us."
Mary pat Sonia on the shoulder to reassure her as she spoke. "Easy, Young Mistress Sonia, nothing bad will happen."
Even so, Mary knew that Sonia could not just stay calm.
It's not me who's expecting a child and I'm worried sick. Naturally, Young Mistress Sonia would definitely be more anxious and concerned than everybody else.
As soon as the doctor noticed Sonia and Mary's anxious faces, he grinned and said, "Oh, Mrs. Fuller, don't be alarmed. Things are not as bad as you think. Instead, it is something positive."
"What positive thing?" Sonia and Mary exchanged glances after hearing the doctor's words.
Mary finally exhaled a sigh of relief and asked, "Gosh, Doctor, you scared us with that expression just now."
Sonia didn't say anything, but she gave the doctor a resentful glance.
"I'm sorry. I didn't anticipate things to turn out like this, so I couldn't hold it in," the OB-GYN said with an apologetic smile.
"So, what's the good news, Doctor?" Sonia asked hastily while clenching her hands.
"Yeah. Please explain everything clearly, Doctor. What is going on?" Mary asked as she nodded instantly.
Without further ado, he handed over the examination report to them.
Sonia took a look at the report and eventually noticed that something was unusual. She widened her eyes in shock immediately, exclaiming, "What does this mean? What do you mean by healthy twin pregnancy..."
Wait.
Seeing Sonia's bewildered look, the OB-GYN nodded with a smile. "That's right, Mrs. Fuller. It's exactly what you think. Congratulations, you're expecting twins."
It took some time for Mary to grasp the doctor's explanation. She then came back to her senses. "What did you say? Twins?"
"Yeah," the doctor replied.
“How is this possible?” Mary grabbed the report from Sonia's hand as she couldn't believe the news. When she saw the report results, she was forced to believe it.
"Is this true? But how is this even possible?" Mary expressed her confusion.
Sonia felt the same. "Yeah, Doctor. Why am I expecting twins? It was clear that there was only one child when I did the ultrasound. "
Sonia promptly questioned as she touched her stomach. "I have undergone numerous prenatal examinations over the past three months. No one told me that it's a set of twins the entire time."
Why does the checkup result say it's a pair of twins this time?
The OB-GYN explained with a smile as she observed the two's startled and perplexed expressions, "I understand how you two feel. This is extremely unbelievable. Although it is a rare case in the medical field, there are still similar cases. In fact, some twins will develop their embryos simultaneously, resulting
in twins. However, some embryos will develop at different times, making it possible to detect only one embryo initially and the second one later at a different stage."
"Does it indicate that this second fetus was just recently formed?" Sonia asked, blinking in curiosity.
"The time it takes for the father's gene to fuse with the mother's gene has been delayed by more than two months. It has actually been there in your body for a very long period. It is merely a baby with developmental delays," the OB-GYN explained.
Sonia understood it now. In layman's words, the first baby developed far faster than the second, who just began growing after two months.
"Oh, it's no surprise that it was not discovered that you have twins all along, Young Mistress. This is such a miraculous occurrence," said Mary who found it amusing.
She thought that it was surprising, and quite incredible too.
"I was ready to have just one child, but I didn't anticipate another one," Sonia murmured, rubbing her stomach with an unexplainable mixture of happiness and surprise.
“It's not unusual. Our hospital once housed a mother who was carrying triplets. At first, only twins were discovered despite countless ultrasounds. The triplets were only discovered in the sixth month. Similar to your case, the third child also experienced delayed development.”
"Anyhow, it's a good thing. The Fullers will have two grandchildren, and it will be lively in the household!" Mary was ecstatic as she observed Sonia's growing belly.
Mary grinned as she looked forward to the birth of the babies.
At the same time, Sonia was also a little concerned. "Doctor, does this mean this child will be much smaller and weaker than the first child in terms of body condition and health?" she asked.
"This is undeniable given its developmental period is much shorter than the second child. The second child needs to be raised with extra caution as they will be born at the same time." the OB-GYN pushed her glasses while responding to Sonia. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
Sonia was a little concerned after hearing this because she feared it might not be able to survive.
Mary saw her concern and remarked compassionately, "Don't worry, Young Mistress Sonia. We have the money and the greatest medical care; even if the child is weak after delivery, we can surely nurse it back to good health."
"Yeah, Mrs. Fuller, the child would be quite healthy. Even if it is born weak, with the current medical system and the Fullers' financial advantages, raising this child would not be a problem. Even a typical family may be able to raise this child. Many children born at five or six months old can now stay in the incubator for a while and be just as healthy as those born at full term," the OB-GYN comforted her.
After hearing it from both of them, as well as the assurance of a skilled gynecologist, Sonia was able to let go of her remaining anxieties. "That's lovely, that's good." She regained her delightful and attractive look.
"This is excellent news, Young Mistress Sonia, simply fantastic." Mary smiled brightly as she rubbed Sonia's belly.
"Yeah, I didn't expect to be pregnant with twins," Sonia hummed and nodded.
I'll have two children!
"Young Mistress, let us first return to the ward to inform Old Mrs. Fuller of this." Mary then assisted Sonia in leaving.
Once they were back in the ward, Mary couldn't wait to get her phone out and video call Rose to share the good news with her.
Rose was astonished when she heard it, and it took her a long time to smack her thigh gleefully. "Alright, alright, this is truly excellent news!"
She had two great-grandchildren on the way.
There was nothing more gratifying than this.
Following that, Rose requested to pay a visit to Sonia in the hospital. Sonia and Mary tried to persuade her from coming, but they eventually gave in.
After all, Rose was so joyful that they couldn't bear not letting her come.
As soon as Rose hung up the video call, she asked Rosie to wrap up some gifts and bring her here.
Rose grabbed Sonia's hand as soon as they met, ecstatically asking about her present physical state.
Sonia's response was cut short.
Mary and Rosie stood aside, looking amused by the grandmother-and-granddaughter-in-laws' interactions.
"By the way, Sonny, did you tell Toby about such great news?" Rose asked after some time of the conversation.
Mary and Sonia were both taken aback when she mentioned it.
"I'm sorry, Grandma. I have forgotten about it." Sonia blushed as the corners of her mouth twitched even more.
She buried her face, both amused and embarrassed.
She completely forgot to tell the child's father about this new update.
