Back To Singapore

The next day Alaric wasted no time having the biggest hospital in Yorkshire check Aleksis' pregnancy.

Although Nicolae himself was a doctor, he was reluctant to offer to do this to his brother's wife. Who knew how many years it would take him to be able to act casually in front of Aleksis again.

After returning from the hospital, Alaric announced proudly to the whole house that he would become a father again. Aleksis was six weeks pregnant and they happily began to prepare for this.

Lauriel and Nicolae celebrated the good news by drinking champagne, while Alaric and Aleksis only drank juice. However, none of them minded, as this pregnancy was what they really wanted.

"Every time my mother becomes pregnant, my father would stop drinking alcohol for nine months," said Aleksis while reading the hospital's report. "Do you think you can do that?"

Alaric shrugged. "That's how it should be, right?"
