Zachary suggested that Serenity wait until they were in the car, as the hospital was too crowded. Serenity agreed, but as soon as they sat down, she took out her phone and called Elisa. Elisa was overwhelmed with work at the company, being the only one of the three shareholders actively managing the business. Serenity and Jasmine were both pregnant, and even if they wanted to work, Elisa wouldn’t allow it; their priority had to be taking care of themselves and their babies. As an unmarried woman without children, Elisa felt it was acceptable for her to handle the workload. After a few rings, Elisa answered the call. “Seren?” she said, balancing her phone in one hand while flipping through a contract with the other. Several business partners sat across from her, waiting to sign the deal. Serenity got right to the point. “Elisa, I have great news! Jasmine had her baby. Both mom and baby are safe. I just left the hospital.” Elisa’s face brightened. “Jasmine already gave birth? But wait, wasn’t she not due yet? She hasn’t even reached full term! Why so soon?” After her initial excitement, she realized that Jasmine had delivered early. “Yes, it was a premature birth,” Serenity confirmed. Elisa’s concern grew. “Did she fall? Eat something bad?” Although she wasn’t a mother herself, she had closely observed her sister-in-law’s pregnancy and knew how careful expectant mothers needed to be. “No, nothing like that. It was just an early delivery. Maybe the baby was just eager to see the world,” Serenity explained. “Is he okay? Does he need an incubator?” Elisa asked anxiously. “Nope. After two hours of observation, the doctors said he’s perfectly healthy. He may have been born early, but he still weighed 6.32 pounds. If he had been full-term, he would have been at least 7.5 pounds,” Serenity reassured her. Elisa smiled. “That’s a strong baby.”
Boys typically have larger builds. My nephew weighed over seven pounds at birth. I’ll head to the hospital as soon as I finish signing this contract. Seren, make sure to take care of yourself too.” Serenity nodded. “I understand. I’ll be more cautious from now on. No more running around. When I get bored, I’ll just walk in the yard, read, or write.”
“That sounds like a great plan. You could even start prenatal education—introducing the baby to books and writing before he’s even born. Who knows? You might raise a little genius.”
Serenity laughed. “We’ll see.”
Elisa chuckled. “Come on, you and your husband are both smart and talented. Your child is bound to be brilliant.”
“That’s not always the case. Many straight-A students have children who struggle in school, and sometimes, the most intelligent families have at least one child who can’t pass a test to save their life. You can’t rely on good genes forever.”
Elisa smirked. “That may be true for other families, but not for Zachary’s. The York family has produced brilliant minds for generations. Have you ever encountered anyone dull in your husband’s family? Don’t worry; your child will be sharp—just like his dad. He’ll be a leader one day.”
Serenity smiled. “Honestly, I just want my child to be healthy, safe, and happy. That’s what truly matters.” Even if their child wasn’t the smartest, she wouldn’t mind. With so many York children in this generation, surely one of them would end up being the family genius. And whoever that may be would lead the next generation forward.
