Pressure

"Babe you are scaring me now, are you keeping things away from me? I know there is something that you want to tell me but you aren't. I don't know what is it and why you are so hesitant but—"

Cutting him off, she closed her eyes and snapped, "I am pregnant."

"Yes that is fine but why are you—" Stopping midway, he widened his eyes in shock, "Wait, what? W-What did you just say?"

Looking at his pale expression, Qiang panicked even more. She didn't want him to stress over anything especially when he was still recovering. "I know you are not ready for it and it's alright, there is no pressure on you."

"What are you talking about Qiang? Of course there is pressure on me, it's my baby," he stated.

Looking at him with teary eyes, she started crying, "I don't know what to do." Tightening her grip on his arm, she added, "I want to keep the baby, I don't wanna give it up."

Widening his eyes in shock, he snapped, "Who wants you to give it up?"

"I-I thought you wouldn't want it and—"

Cutting her off, he frowned, "Why wouldn't I want it? It's our baby Qiang, something that belongs to us and is growing inside you. Why wouldn't I want something that is a part of you?" Wiping her tears away, he sighed, "I know it's a very huge step and we were not prepared for this but since it has already happened, we will definitely find a way to deal with it."

"We will?"

"Of course we will babe." Kissing her forehead, he added, "I would have kept you in my lap and hugged you but I can't do that right now so why don't just come closer and let me hold you.???

Without wasting any time, she did as he told her. Burying her face on his neck, she started whining, "I thought you wouldn't want the baby, I was so scared. I thought you would leave us alone and run away."

"Why wouldn't I want our baby and why would I run away? Stop being silly honey, I love you." Kissing the top of her head, he assured her, "Everything is going to be okay."

Hugging him tighter, she remarked, "I am still scared Guang, very very scared."

Caressing her back, he assured her, "You don't have to worry about anything, I'll handle everything. Why are you scared? You have me."

"I don't know what I would have done if something would have happened to you." Pulling away, she added, "Promise me that you will be careful in the future and not act so recklessly?"

Caressing her cheek, he nodded his head, "I promise."

"Wait, I remember you were telling me something about seeing a doctor earlier. What was that about?" he inquired.

"I had gone to see a gynecologist to confirm the pregnancy—"

Cutting her off, he frowned, "You knew you were pregnant before going to the doctor?"

"I had my doubts so I took a pregnancy test at home and it was positive but I still wanted to see a doctor to confirm it," she explained.

"If you had your doubts then why didn't you tell me before? Is this why you had been acting all cold and aloof for so many days." When she nodded her head, he sighed, "Why would you endure everything all by yourself? We did everything together so we are obviously in this together too."

Placing her hand on his cheek, she asked, "You want the baby, right?"

"Babe, why wouldn't I? I would want it at the stake of everything." Tapping the tip of her nose, he smiled, "I just can't believe I am going to be a father, it feels weird but I am also feeling very satisfied."

"We can handle everything, we can right?"

"Of course, don't worry about anything. I have enough savings, we can easily raise five babies without any kind of crisis but to be extra careful, I'll start an FD for our baby right away." Thinking for a while, he added, "We also need a bigger house, we can't raise our baby in an apartment. We need a bigger house with a big garden and—"

"Woah hold on future daddy, we still have lots of time until the baby finally arrives and I have savings too," she chuckled.

Caressing her stomach, he inquired, "How big is it?"

Placing her hand on his, she smiled, "Around nine weeks."

"That big already?" Scrunching his brows, he added, "You did not eat properly for so many days, you are not allowed to repeat that. No more junk for you, only healthy food allowed and no more jumping or running around." Looking at his knee injury, he frowned, "I need to recover faster."

"Now don't pressurize yourself like that, take all the time you need and recover properly," she stated.

"I need to get well soon, I need to take care of you and our baby. You both are my topmost priority now," he remarked.

"Guang we also need to tell our parents about it, only brother Zian knows about it right now," she informed.

"Brother Zian knows about it already? What did he say? He nervously inquired.

Snuggling closer, she sighed, "He was very supportive."

"Really? That is nice." Pausing for a while, he added, "Next time, can I be the first person to know about our baby?"
