GRATEFUL [2]

"W-WHAT?" Dennis was surprised again.

In contrast to Dennis, Edric and the others just froze at Felix's hand which continued to gently rub Roxanne's flat stomach.

"So fast." Justin muttered.

"I actually took some medicine before, but for the last time we did it, it looks like Felix took mine on purpose." Roxanne explained as she glanced at Felix, who was acting like he was completely innocent.

"You are a real bastard, Jullian." Said Edric and clapped his hands.

"Ah, I understand now. So this is what you mean?" Arthur seemed to be trying to guess what. His three friends turned to Arthur, Roxanne and Felix were no exception.

"You asked us all to gather here, because you wanted to check Roxanne's pregnancy with aunty Cera and announce it for all of us at the same time. Am I right?"

Felix shrugged his shoulders. "Can be." Roxanne turned to Felix and gave him a look in disbelief. So, this is Felix's plan?

"Roxanne forbade me to contact Aunty Cera because today is the time for everyone to gather with their families. So, what can I do, if it can be done together, why not?" Felix explained proudly. Felix believes his plan is very clever. Felix's friends laughed. They admit how clever Felix is ​​right now.

"Anyways, congrats for your happy day." Justin said as he raised his drink glass.

"Thanks, Dude."

"Thank You, Justin."

Said Roxanne and Felix together.

"Yes, I congratulate the first couple who will get married soon and soon have children." Dennis continued then, joined in raising his drink glass in the air.

"Congratulations to both of you." Arthur also raised his drink glass and Edric followed suit.

"Thank you to all of you."

After that, they chat with each other and make jokes about the name Roxanne and Felix's baby will be. They also guessed their gender from Felix's attitude like this.

"Felix?" call someone from behind Felix's back. Felix and Roxanne turned towards the source of the sound together.

"Aunty Cera?"

"Your mother told me. Want to check it out now?" asked Cera.

"Oh, of course." Felix replied, who then asked Roxanne to stand up.

"I'm glad that finally one of you decided to get married. Geez, I hope Edric will be like you one day." Praise Cera, embraced Felix together to her room after glancing briefly at Edric at Edric who was still drinking his wine. Felix and Roxanne only laughed because Cera was blatantly teasing her son.

Dennis and Arthur laughed. "He still hasn't forgotten his original target, aunty!" Dennis exclaimed to Cera who was getting away. Afterward, Arthur and Justin just laughed because Edric hit Dennis with his sofa pillow.

"Lie down here." Said Cera, asking Roxanne to lie down on a bed in her preacher.

Cera put her stethoscope to her ear and placed it on several parts of Roxanne's body, then examined it carefully.

After asking a few questions about the first day of her last period, etc., Cera took off her stethoscope and smiled.

"All right. It's over." She said. Roxanne sits back down and gets off the bed.

"So?" asked Felix impatiently. He hugged Roxanne's shoulders again as soon as she sat next to him.

"The womb still young. It's only been 2 weeks. But everyone's fine. Do you have morning sickness?" asked Cera.

"Not so far." Roxanne replied.

Cera nodded in understanding and smiled softly. "I will give you some vitamins and food and drink whatever is and shouldn't be as long as you are pregnant." Cera explained at length.

"Aunty, what about sex? Is it allowed for pregnant women?" asked Felix fluently. Roxanne closed her eyes in embarrassment.

Cera just laughed. Of course she knew the questions that were always asked like this. "Actually, there is no limit to how much you can have sex with, as long as the woman is not tired. The amniotic fluid is leaking, contractions can usually occur later in the pregnancy, so be careful at that time. And make sure the position during intercourse is not dangerous. both the mother and the fetus." Cera explained at length. Felix smiled and nodded his head.

"Very well. Thank you, aunty." Said Felix.

While Cera was writing, Felix turned to Roxanne and smiled softly at her. Then, he kissed Roxanne's cheeks anxiously.

"All right, lovebirds. Here are some vitamin recipes. Better, let's go out. I don't want to be stuck with a couple in love here." chuckled Cera. They immediately got up from their chairs and stepped out together.

"Ah, once again I congratulate you two. You're a lucky man, Felix." said Cera, reaching out her hand to Felix and giving a hug.

Felix returned the hug and said, "Yes, I thought so too." Felix replied as he looked at Roxanne - beside him - after breaking his embrace. They walked towards the crowd of Felix's friends.

Cera sighed. "I just hope Edric can stop playing around and find a woman who can change him soon." Cera said while looking away and smiling.

"Don't worry, aunty. He'll find her. I think he's a good guy." Roxanne smiled back.

Cera smiled back. "Oh, thanks. I know that. It's just, you know, I just don't want him to get stuck with his own game. And of course I'm getting old, I want grandchildren too." Cera chirps which makes Felix and Roxanne laugh.

"I think we should have a bachelor party before the wedding day." Said Dennis.

"Yep! It has to be!" continued edric.

"Alright, alright. I'll leave it to you. Separating from Roxanne 2 days and 1 night is fine for me. After all, after we get married, she will be completely mine." Said Felix arrogantly.

The four friends snorted. Feeling annoyed at Felix, who continues to boast about himself, who will soon hold the title as both husband and father.

They talk again about Roxanne's pregnancy. Their jokes made Roxanne unable to hold back her laughter. Even so, Roxanne is still happy because Felix's friends are looking forward to her baby. She imagined them to be cool uncles to her future baby. Oh, that's so funny.

Felix will never forget this happy moment on Christmas day. Where he can propose to Roxanne, hear the news about Roxanne's pregnancy, gather with his friends on Christmas day, and all. In his entire life, Felix has never felt this life.
