Chapter 18
The next morning…
Dao Ming Si went downstairs, heading towards the morning room to where he knew his wife would be, having her breakfast. "Hey there," he called out to her upon seeing her sitting down by the breakfast table. Walking towards her while buttoning his cuffs, he bent down and gave her a kiss on her head.
"I didn't hear you wake up this morning," he said, continuing with a worried frown on his forehead, "were you feeling nauseated and just quietly went away?"
San Chai smiled at the sight of her husband, helping him with his cuffs she replied, "No, surprisingly this morning I was fine. I didn't really feel anything, except hunger so I decided to come down ahead of you to grab some breakfast first. I think the baby is beginning to realise that food is better taken in rather than vomited out," she laughed.
"Ah… good. So you're finally starting to listen to papa huh," Ah Si bent down to talk to the baby through his wife's stomach which was still flat. Caressing her tummy, he looked up to her and just couldn't help but smile widely. "We're actually going to be parents," he said in awe.
"Pig head! Don't tell me you have just realised this fact? What do you think has been making me feel under the weather lately huh? Just the flu?" San Chai laughed at her husband while ruffling his hair. "Don't talk anymore, you better have some breakfast before you're late for work," she told him while pouring him a cup of tea and motioning for him to have some of the food on the table.
"Honey, I was thinking maybe we should have a gathering of sort. You know, just to bring the whole gang around together again. Hopefully get Lei back from Japan too," San Chai said once Dao Ming Si had started on his breakfast. "Sure," he replied, "What did you have in mind?" he asked then taking a sip of the tea.
"Nothing big or anything. Just a nice quiet dinner at our place here where we can sit down, relax and chit chat. Catch up with old times and all that," San Chai explained, "What say you?" she asked. Dao Ming Si looked towards his wife, "Sounds like a good idea. I'll tell the rest of the guys and you can call Lei to inform him about it. It's been awhile since we last saw him; it'll be nice to catch up with him as well. That guy is turning into another workaholic like Xi Men."
