Chapter 345 - Twins or Triplets?

The couple went straight to their home after arriving late in the evening. The twins were already tired from the trip that they slept through the entire drive home. They were carried to their rooms straight away. 

Lu Fang was relieved to sleep on their own for the night. Although they had agreed to hold off having sex until it was safe, they were exhausted from the trip. 

Andrea laid herself comfortably in the man's arms, but just before closing her eyes, she said, "Do you think we will have twins again?"

The man chuckled and said, "Hmmm… with how many times we did it, there is always that possibility. Remember that Chevre and Brie are fraternal twins. It would not be a surprise if you ovulated with two eggs again."

"Do you want a girl or a boy?" She asked. Her eyes nearly closing as she said this. 

"Hmmm… I already have two girls. I would not mind having a play buddy aside from Chevre, but you know, babe. I love all our children, regardless of what gender they may turn out to be. I am already happy with two princesses. If we will have more, that's great. If we will have more boys than girls, that is fine as well… What about you, babe?"

Andrea did not respond. He looked down and brushed up the hair that covered her face. He saw his wife already asleep. He kissed her forehead and whispered, "Goodnight my queen."

The next day, Lu Fang confirmed their appointment with Dr. Qi. Bolin had made arrangements for them to have the ultrasound in the morning so they can go to the office in the afternoon. 

They left as soon as they learned everything has already been set. 

Arriving at the hospital, they proceeded to the ultrasound room and waited for Dr. Qi. 

Andrea could not hide her anxiousness. She had been thinking about the baby since she woke up. She lay on the hospital bed while Lu Fang pulled up a chair next to her.

"Why are you nervous?" He asked while holding her hand and kissing it lightly. 

She turned to his side and pouted her lips, asking for a kiss. Only after getting a peck did she reply, "I don't know. I guess I'm scared if we ever end up having twins or triplets."

Andrea chuckled after that before adding, "I'm scared of tiring my body - giving birth, babe."

"I understand, babe. This will be our last. I promise," he said before leaning forward and kissing her forehead. "I'll have a vasectomy after you give birth... and about triplets, I think that is very rare."

"Good morning," Dr. Qi said, having just arrived in the ultrasound room. "So you are pregnant? Let's take a look."

Dr. Qi began with the ultrasound and carefully studied Andrea's uterus. "Look here," she pointed out. "We have one amniotic sac and base on its development the fetus is three weeks old."

Both Lu Fang and Andrea were surprised. Just a week ago, Andrea took a pregnancy test and came out negative. 

"Why the shock on your faces?" Asked Dr. Qi. 

They told her about having done a pregnancy test and she said, "It's not likely that a pregnancy test is inaccurate but, in any case. It's good that you came to see me today." 

"Anyhow, as for your pregnancy, I notice that the lining in your uterus is not thick enough. I'll prescribe you with some medication to speed up the thickening of your uterus lining," added the doctor. "For now, avoid straining yourself, take a lot of rest, no sex for now until the pregnancy is fully healthy. Our next appointment will be a month from now."

"So doctor, there is just one baby?" clarified Andrea. 

Dr. Qi smiled and chuckled at the same time, "Yes, there is just one. It will not be as difficult as your first pregnancy."

"Phew." Andrea let out a sigh of relief. 

After getting more instructions and prenatal vitamins from the doctor, they left and proceeded to Lu-Wei Enterprises office. 

While inside the car, they called Christina to tell her the good news and no one could be more thrilled than the grandmother. 

Juan, who was driving the couple, gave his congratulations. He knew well the struggle the couple had to go through due to Michael Song. 

When they arrived at the office, they called in Bolin and Arti  to announce Andrea's pregnancy. The couple saw their excitement and soon their expression changed to a serious one. They were all inside the office when Bolin spoke, "Master, Mrs. Lu, we are happy that it worked out well and hope that the disease will be cured completely."

Arti and Bolin looked at each other and this time, it was Arti who spoke, "We were wondering if you can allow both of us to take a leave together for a month?"

"A month?!" The couple said in unison. Lu Fang was especially nervous over the request. He thought, 'How can I live without Go Bolin for a month?!'

"Yes, master. You see, we are planning to get married, Arti and I - "

"Wow! that is really good news!" Exclaimed Andrea. "Are you planning to ask Arti's parents?"

Arti and Bolin were staring at each other again before Bolin spoke, "Actually, we plan to have a wedding there."

"Whhaatttt?!" Andrea could not help but raise her voice? She said, "Without us?"

"It's definitely not like that, boss," Arti explained. "We will have a private ceremony for our family in India and then have another one here. It's - It's just that my grandparents are old and could not travel to China."

"We will still have a wedding here in Beijing… When we have raised enough funds - "

"Raise enough funds my ass! Bolin, you can have the reception at the starlight tower and that will be our wedding gift to you. I will hold an unoccupied penthouse for Arti's family so you won't have to worry about where they will stay!," Lu Fang announced with conviction. 

Arti's mouth fell open and so did Bolin's. He asked, "Master, are you  - are you sure?"

Andrea too was taken aback, but then again, she would have probably given the same kind of gift to both of them. 

"Bolin, you have served me for how many years. That is just a small amount compared to the help you have given me," Lu Fang answered before adding, "Aside from that my wife will also add to my gift and my father, my mother and Gao Rou!"

They all burst into laughter and Bolin especially was overwhelmed with his boss' kindness. "Boss  - Master… I could not be thankful enough. I really appreciate such gifts."

"Good! So you like my gifts?" Lu Fang asked as his eyes narrowed at Bolin. 

"Yes, master, very much. No other boss can be so generous! You are the best boss ever. I will never leave your side!" Bolin happily declared. 

Lu Fang nodded with a grin on his face and said, "Good! Good. So try your best to come back after two weeks! Okay? A month is too long."

Andrea glared at the man. 

Bolin,"???"

"Ahehe! I think it's doable," said Arti.
