Chapter 4218
Since she became pregnant, Zachary had been spending most of his free time with her, reducing his workout routine. It was only natural that he gained a bit of weight. Did he really think he could indulge in food without any consequences? The only reason he had maintained a model-like physique was due to his rigorous exercise regimen.
“Ouch.”
Serenity suddenly cried out in pain.
Zachary panicked, nearly jumping out of his seat. “Is your stomach hurting? Are you going into labor? We need to get to the hospital!”
He was ready to scoop her up when she grasped his hand.
“Zachary, don’t panic. It’s not time yet. How could I be in labor this soon? The baby just kicked me again. He’s kicking harder these days.”
As her pregnancy advanced, the baby had grown stronger, and sometimes his kicks were painful.
Zachary exhaled, relieved. He had overreacted once again.
This was his first experience as a father, and he lacked knowledge. In the pregnancy group he had secretly joined, he read stories of women giving birth prematurely—some as early as seven or eight months. The thought frightened him.
“There was a mom in the group who gave birth at 29 weeks just two days ago. The baby had to be placed in an incubator,” Zachary confessed. “Seren, I keep having this dream where you suddenly go into labor. I rush to get you to the hospital, but I forget the car keys. I run back inside to find them, but I can’t remember where I put them. Then I try to call my family for help, but I can’t even recall their numbers. I wake up sweating every time.”
Hearing this, Serenity didn’t find it amusing—she felt touched.
She pulled him back down beside her and spoke softly, “Don’t stress so much. I’ve been attending all my checkups, and the doctor says everything is normal. I won’t…
Experiencing a premature birth without any apparent reason can be concerning. “The woman in your group probably faced complications. Some women have babies too closely spaced. If she had a C-section with her first child and became pregnant again too soon, her body might not have had enough time to recover, potentially leading to early labor.
“Not every pregnant woman experiences such issues. My health is good, and this is my first baby. There’s no reason to anticipate any problems. Try not to overthink it and frighten yourself.” Serenity leaned into him, wrapping her arms around him, and whispered, “Husband, everything will be fine.”
“I keep telling myself not to worry, but I can’t help it,” Zachary confessed, pulling her closer in a comforting embrace. He felt helpless. He loved her deeply. From the moment he learned of her pregnancy, he had been filled with both joy and anxiety.
Now he understood why Clive had considered not having children after witnessing how much his wife, Alice, endured during morning sickness. There were times when Zachary wondered if it was all worth it—watching Serenity go through so much while feeling powerless to assist.
However, with only two months remaining until the baby’s arrival, it was too late for regrets. All he could do was continue to worry and do his best to prepare for fatherhood.
