Heaving a big sigh of relief, Bai Qingqing wrapped the egg in a towel and gently wiped away the traces of blood on it.
âFinally gave birth. This egg is really big. No wonder it wouldnât come out.â As she spoke, Bai Qingqing looked towards Shen Yin. The latter looked like she had just been scooped out from the water, with only a faint breath of life left. It wasnât any easier than giving birth to a human baby.
Bai Qingqing set the egg down beside her head and said gently, âTake a look.â
When Shen Yin turned her head and saw the egg, strangeness and joy blended in her eyes. She reached out a quivering hand to touch it.
âItâll become healthier when it gets bigger, right?â Shen Yinâs breath was slightly weak, but there was no resentment in her voice.
Mu Ya, on the other hand, felt frustrated. âIt was my fault for failing to discover your pregnancy earlier.â
As he spoke, he looked towards his mother and asked, âMom, has Yinyin finished giving birth? If not, if she eats less going forward, will the egg be smaller in size?â
Bai Qingqing replied, âYou can go to the hospital to check for this. Ooh⦠let me ask if we can bring the instrument home.â
âMm, thanks for the trouble, Mommy,â Mu Ya responded, before immediately looking towards Shen Yin. He grazed his fingers over her pale face and said with heartache, âYouâve worked hard. It wasnât easy for you to grow a tad fatter. Why did you go back to becoming so thin all of a sudden?â
âIt wasnât hard. Compared to others who have to go through ten months of pregnancy, itâs already very relaxing for me,â Shen Yin said with a smile.
Mu Yaâs attitude truly made Shen Yin heave a big sigh of relief. She had been afraid that he would have a bad impression of her after seeing her scream and cry hysterically. Thankfully, all he felt was heartache for her.
Bai Qingqing gave Mu Ya instructions on how to care for Shen Yin before going out.
Mu Tian and Mu Hai were watching television in the living room. When they saw their mother coming out, they immediately ran over.
âMom, Shen Yin has given birth? Itâs Thirdâs?â Mu Tian asked incredulously.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Mu Hai looked equally shocked as he gazed at his mother.
Bai Qingqing replied with a smile, âYeah, sheâs given birth. In a few daysâ time, youâll be able to see your little nephew.â
âMy goodness. Iâm too shocked. Totally didnât expect this.â Mu Tian shook his head as he spoke.
Bai Qingqing suddenly said, âThe two of you mustnât scare me like this. If you have a girlfriend, bring her back to let us take a look first. Date for a few years before confirming your relationship.â
Mu Hai said, âWe know. We wonât dare to be careless with something like this.â
Even if Thirdâs endeavor in finding a mate had gone smoothly, they didnât dare to be reckless. They had heard that girls asked for a breakup on a whim. It would be terrible if they got dumped.
Mu Tian also expressed that he would heed his motherâs advice.
âHurry up and come eat. Itâs nearly eight,â Parker called out from the dining room as he brought the food that he had kept warm in the pot to the table.
Bai Qingqing wasnât hungry before this, but at the mention of food, she suddenly felt hungry. She walked towards the dining room right away. âMu Ya and Little Yin havenât eaten, either. Iâll bring it into the room for them.â
âIâll do it. Just sit down and eat,â Parker said sternly.
Bai Qingqing had no choice but to obediently go eat.
Because moving the apparatus easily affected the precision of the apparatus, on the next day Shen Yin still went to the hospital to do a B-scan ultrasonography. Her womb was clean, and no more eggs could be seen.
This answer disappointed Shen Yin, but Mu Ya was rather happy. As for Bai Qingqing, she heaved a sigh of relief.
The first egg had already ripped a wound in Shen Yin. If she were to give birth shortly after, she would probably be in even greater pain. It was a good thing that it was an only son.
After confirming there was only one egg, they prepared to incubate it.
Shen Yin had wanted to incubate the egg in her bed, under the blankets, but the Bai family unanimously objected. Never mind the fact that it would take a toll on her after having just given birth, there was too big a risk in having a human incubate the egg.
In the end, Mu Ya applied for ten daysâ leave to especially stay at home to incubate the egg.
Seven days later, the baby eagle broke out of his shell on time.
