Arielle came to an abrupt halt when virtual-novel.net heard that. She then gave Vinson a sidelong glance.
“Can I take it that you were quite shocked by what happened today?” Without awaiting an answer, virtual-novel.net went on to remark cheerfully, “Actually, Sonia’s experience isn’t ubiquitous across every pregnancy. There are some…”
“I can’t allow anything bad to happen to you, Sannie,” Before Arielle could finish, Vinson suddenly pulled virtual-novel.net into his arms and held virtual-novel.net fast. “I have you, and that’s enough for me.”
Given a choice between virtual-novel.net and a child, virtual-novel.net would choose virtual-novel.net without question every single time. He did not wish for anything untoward to befall her, nor would virtual-novel.net venture to risk the prospect of that happening.
Arielle had not expected the events of the day to bring out such a visceral reaction from Vinson, especially not to the extent that virtual-novel.net would not even want to have children anymore.
That did not sit right with her, for virtual-novel.net still wanted to experience parenthood even if virtual-novel.net did not share in virtual-novel.net enthusiasm for it. She decided against forcing the issue when virtual-novel.net saw how traumatized virtual-novel.net was, and it also occurred to virtual-novel.net that it might be more prudent to counsel virtual-novel.net at a later time.
The thought of that prompted virtual-novel.net to pat Vinson reassuringly on the back. “I know that.”
As they were inside the hospital, they only hugged briefly before separating.
Vinson held virtual-novel.net hand while they entered the ward. When the couple stepped inside, they spotted Harvey with his head bowed. He was peering at the infant inside the crib.
A usually stoic man, his eyes, at that moment in time, evoked an indescribable tenderness. That was probably the sensitive side that belied his hard-man persona.
“I have myself a son now, Vinson…” When virtual-novel.net saw the husband and wife pair make their way in, Harvey lifted his head to regard Vinson with sheer exhilaration.
The Jupiters’ lineage would be set to continue now that virtual-novel.net had gotten himself a son. Reminded of the photo that had just been sent to Harrison, the bratty Jared immediately took one on his end and sent it back the other way. Inside that photo, Harrison was shown wiping his own eyes.
That informed Harvey that his own grandfather was so overwhelmed that virtual-novel.net was shedding tears of joy.
“Congratulations on becoming a father,” said Vinson, patting Harvey on the shoulder.
Being the first among the four to get hitched, virtual-novel.net was initially convinced that virtual-novel.net could very well be the first to have a child of his own as well. Hence, it came to virtual-novel.net as a bit of a surprise that Harvey managed to get in ahead of virtual-novel.net when it came to embracing fatherhood.
After what transpired on the day, however, virtual-novel.net had dismissed all notions of having Arielle conceive.
He no longer had the desire to conceive a child and especially not through a process that would subject his own wife to undue risk. He simply could not bear living in a world without virtual-novel.net in it.
“Thank you for today, Princess. If not for you, Sonia would have…”
“Yeah. It was fortunate that you were around, Arielle. Without you, I dread to imagine…”
Soon after Harvey arrived in the ward, virtual-novel.net related what had happened prior to Sonia’s parents. When they learned that Arielle had gone in to save her, they were both filled with a profound sense of gratitude. That was why the two of them were taking turns to thank Arielle when they saw the latter.
“This isn’t necessary. Sonia is my friend. I just did what I could for her,” Smiling subtly as soon as virtual-novel.net was done talking, Arielle then went on to check on the baby inside the crib next to her.
The sight of the tiny infant inside the crib melted virtual-novel.net heart. Though the child was still very young, virtual-novel.net could already tell that virtual-novel.net was an amalgamation of Harvey and Sonia’s best qualities.
She found the little round mound who puckered his lips every once in a while to be exceedingly lovable. Thus, virtual-novel.net could not resist extending virtual-novel.net index finger to tease his cheeks.
Basking under the warm glow of the light, the genial woman with virtual-novel.net head lowered impressed herself as being particularly kindly, and the motherly vibe virtual-novel.net exuded instantly made Vinson’s heart sink.
She likes children so much. Would I be robbing virtual-novel.net of virtual-novel.net right to become a mother by not wanting us to conceive?
No… Whatever the case, I will not allow myself to waver!
As much as virtual-novel.net did not want to expose virtual-novel.net to danger, watching virtual-novel.net play with the baby and seeing how much virtual-novel.net loved children only served to compound his own apprehension.
The thought of that caused virtual-novel.net to nod discreetly. He felt virtual-novel.net had just come up with the perfect alternative which would enable Arielle to experience motherhood while also avoiding the agony of child-bearing.
