Chapter 50 - One Month Pregnant

"Oh thank God. I was scared that I might have harmed my unborn child," Bai Renxiang let out a relieved sigh. "Okay now that we have seen the foetus, let us wait for the test results." After helping her daughter to wipe off the gel from her stomach, Jiang Meilin lead her to the doctor's cabin.

The result of the test was finally out. Bai Renxiang started panicking within herself again. The doctor studied the results carefully. After some of silence, she passed the result to Bai Renxiang. "Miss you are already one month pregnant and your baby is quite healthy," the doctor informed. Jiang Meilin was surprised but it was immediately masked with joy. Bai Renxiang too was happy that her baby was healthy that she didn't even notice that she was shedding tears. This shocked the two older women in the cabin.

"Honey what's wrong? Why are you crying? Do not tell me you still want to abort the healthy child now, or do you?" Jiang Meilin asked warringly. She thoughtful she would be happy about the child even if it was too sudden as she was unprepared. Bai Renxiang shook her head at the question her mother had asked her. How could she bring herself to end an innocent life growing inside her when she knew her family would wholeheartedly support her?

"No, mum. I just can't help it. These are tears of joy not regret. I very much want this baby," Bai Renxiang said in between her happy sobs. Her answer relieved the doctor and Jiang Meilin. "So doctor, what are the precautions we need to follow to ensure that the baby is born safe?" Jiang Meilin inquired.

"First and foremost, the first trimester of a pregnancy is the most important stage of child development. So you need to be extra careful," the doctor started. "She should get maximum rest. She also needs to avoid some certain foods and fruits like papaya and pineapple and also caffeine and alcohol. She can eat avocado, oranges, berries etcetera. Also she should do light exercises and maintain food hygiene. I will right down some supplements for you to get and also the foods to eat and whatnot," the doctor said as she scribbled on a piece of paper.

"Umm doctor, will it be okay to change environment for the baby and also myself during the pregnancy?" Bai Renxiang asked. She still wanted to live the Jiang mansion. Bai Renxiang wanted no one except her mother to be with her during this stage of her life. It was not that she did not want company, she just feels weird to her. It made her uncomfortable.

"Well it is a nice idea if you're changing to a peaceful environment. I think it is okay to do that. Also, before I forget, after the tenth week of your pregnancy, I would advise you come for NIPT, and some other test," the doctor suggested.

"What does that mean?"

"Non-ivasive Parental Testing. It to determine the risk that your baby will be born with certain genetic abnormalities. It will help you to know your cause of action for the baby's health. It is better to be safe than sorry, right?" The doctor said. The mother and daughter pair nodded their heads in understanding.

After the medical consultation, Jiang Meilin gave Charlie the list of few things the doctor had written for them to buy. She also made a mental note to tell her grandfather about the new environment thingy. Sigh, her daughter was so hell-bent on moving out, wasn't she? But first, Bai Renxiang needed rest as she is mentally and emotionally worn out. Poor child.

Meanwhile, Bai Ming and Feng Yisheng were hanging out quite often nowadays. Feng Yisheng has also gotten in contact with his friends and they were ecstatic about his return. His friends decided to meet up today. He was thrilled to see them as it had been long. Feng Yisheng arrived at the cafe that was scheduled for their meeting. He looked around for them and he spotted one of them waving at him with a bright smile on his face.

Feng Yisheng sauntered towards them with a smile also mirroring theirs. "Long time no see bro," Fu Bolin stood up and gave his friend a hug to which Feng Yisheng accepted.

Zhou Rong was not left out. He did their coded handshake and also gave him a hug.

The three of them chuckled together, "I thought you had forgotten our handshake," Zhou Rong said with a teasing smile on his lips.

"As did I," Fu Bolin joined in.

Feng Yisheng smile at their remarks," What do you both think of me? I cherish our brotherhood and friendship, okay? And I can't forget that cool handshake we made. I am sorry to disappoint you both."

They laughed at his dramatic gesture.. The three best friends chatted happily as they had so many things to catch up on.
