Percy called the butler to find the mango and buy some shrimp paste in the store after he called her doctor. He then called Laurence. He answered shortly.

"Hey, dad."

"Hey, where's your sister?"

"She's under my surveillance," Laurence answered.

"Okay. Your mom is not feeling well."

"Don't she need a hospital?"

"I already called her doctor. You need to be home before four in the afternoon."

"Okay, dad. We'll probably eat here somewhere."

"Okay." Percy hung up and sighed.

He went to Zayne's room to check him up. He's sleeping heavily he adjust the baby monitor. He went back to their room to check on her. He took the thermometer from the drawer to check her temperature. Her temperature is normal.

He wished that it was something that they wanted badly. He told the maid to make lunch. He went downstairs and just at the right time, their family doctor came, and he escorted her to the master's bedroom. She's awake and massaged her head.

"Percy?"

"Hey, our doctor is here." Percy kissed her forehead. "Dr. Yuan, my wife felt dizzy suddenly."

He stepped back as Dr. Yuan checked her eyes and her pulse.

"Hmm," he hummed. "When is your last menstruation?" he asked.

"Well, that was eight weeks ago. Am I going under menopause?" She asked looking a little afraid.

Dr. Yuan chuckled and shook his head.

"No, Madam. I am afraid not. Have you taken a pregnancy test?"

Ash shook her head.

"Well, let's try that."

She nodded and Percy escorted her to the bathroom. They waited outside and Percy talked to Dr. Yuan about her sudden craving for mango with shrimp paste. He told him that she only had this one craving when she's pregnant with Laurence.

"We should hope for the best." Dr. Yuan said.

"Yeah, I am nervous. We just adopted a baby and I am so nervous right now." Percy said. The door open and Percy looked at her eyes. She showed him the pregnancy strip. Three of them and it shows two red strips on each test.

Laurence looked at Esme as she checked the prices and search for another. But she had an interest in one notebook. The one with a lock covered in red leather. He took it.

"It's already lunch. I'm starving."

"I—I haven't."

"Just take whatever you wanted." He patted her head.

"It's not that easy."

He took the notebooks that he touched and show interests and then he pulled her to the books.

"You like reading right?" He asked. She tugged her shirt.

"Don't buy such things." She said almost aloud.

"Why not? If you ever get bored. Besides, you could use the music room." He also took a musical notelet.

He let her choose the pens and checked it. He waited patiently holding the basket for the notebooks and other stationery that he took, and she looked at for a very long time. She already chose a ball pen and pencils, then put it on the basket. She took the handle of the basket ready to grab it, but he pulled it.

He pulled out his phone and told her to choose a restaurant so he could reserve for their lunch. She chose a restaurant and gave it to him. He made a reservation and has been approved. Reservation at 12:30 PM.

"Do you have anything else to buy?" He asked. She shook her head and she tried hard not to turn her head around to buy for whatever he needs. He fell in line and then pay for everything. He didn't let her pay for it.

It's his first time to have a sister so he's spoiling her a lot.

"I have my money," She mumbled to him as she pulled his t-shirt sleeve.

"I know that. I am older and your big bro, so I should pay for it."

Rhys and Raiden continue doing the planking that their mother told them to do. It's been like five minutes since they start planking and steady like that to balance their body. Their bother even put a heavyweight at their back. But they weren't alone. This time, they are with Chelsea, their little sister not the little-youngest.

She's doing yoga, tai-chi, and planking every day with a one-day relaxation and she had mastered doing the planking for seven minutes.

Rhys gave up and Raiden also collapsed on a yoga mat.

"Okay, break," Freya said and left the room. "Take a shower and relax for an hour. I'll prepare lunch first."

"Yes, ma'am." The two said.

"Why is she so hard on us?" Rhys asked Raiden.

"That's because we are boys," Raiden answered and looked at Chelsea who continues on her yoga after removing a weight around her waist.

"That's because you two are bad boys. How many times did you go and check-in to a hotel with girls?" She asked while doing the pigeon pose. "How many times did you use your credit cards just to buy condoms and alcohol?"

"Hey, stop scolding us. We are older than you." Rhys said raising his voice. Chelsea only shook her head.

"Yeah, we are older than you." Raiden agreed.

"Tsk." She shook her head and ignored them. Then she stood rolled her yoga mat and put it on the shelf.

The two sighed and sat on their mat and relaxed.

"We should ask dad to unfreeze our account," Rhys said.

"Yup. We should talk to dad. Mom kept on torturing us like this."

When they arrived home, her father is peeling a mango that a little close to ripe and with shrimp paste on it. Then, they also have sushi and lots of food.

"Hey, you okay, mom?" Laurence asked and kissed her forehead.

"Yes, I am fine."

"What's with the cake?" He asked as he peeked at baby Zayne who smiled at him and giggles. Baby Zayne is six months and yup, he looked so adorable and smiling at everyone who passed by. He likes a lot of attention.

Esme sat down with them.

"Laurence, sit down," Ash told.

"Yeah." Laurence sat beside Esme and he took a piece of mango and dipped it on the shrimp paste and he nodded. It's sour and sweet at the same time and salty with the shrimp paste.

"Okay, so we have good news," Percy said and he looked at Ash. Laurence kept on chewing and eating.

"I'm pregnant. And you are going to have a new sibling." She announced and Laurence seemed to have that sour taste to a wrong pine, and he started coughing.

Esme immediately took a glass of water and gave it to him. He drank and then cough.historical

"Why are you so surprise?" Percy asked and chuckled.

"I mean, Zayne just came, and you are you finally pregnant at the age of forty-plus."

"Hey, it's a miracle baby," Percy told.

"No. I am not against it. I am happy." Laurence rubbed his throat.

"Even though your mother is pregnant, we will still adopt a baby or two," Percy said.

"Yup." Laurence nodded. "I will go to my room and groom myself."

"Don't you like it?" Percy asked with a laughed.

"I love it. Congratulations. You don't have to worry about me so much." He pushed the chair and waved at baby Zayne who giggled. He walked around to her mother and kissed her forehead. "Congrats mom, I am so happy for you."

"Thank you."

Laurence went to his room and couldn't help but smile. It's just so ironic that all of these years, eighteen years that he's been the only child and suddenly, he became a fulltime big brother. With a baby sister and a baby brother. His parent is so happy. He's finally relaxed now that they have three to take care of.

He took a long bath and maybe watch something that Rhys and Raiden sent and do it in his bathroom. It's what boys normally do and yes, it's normal. He picked his suit and then the brooch with a half-dragon and half tiger on it. Then, red tie and red undershirt then black suit and trousers that are bulletproof yet flexible.

Then, he took his watch that has multiple uses. Like tranquilizer pins, trackers, and other stuff that they needed to survive just in case they got kidnapped. He also put a small gun on his left ankle and a pocketknife on his right ankle.

He also put a few throw knives that are shaped as cards inside his coat. He brushed his hair and wax it as Gatsby would style.

He took his phone and card and locked the balcony and windows. Then, he went outside, and he heard her mother and Esme in Esme's room. Now, it's the first time that his mother is glamming with a daughter.

He went to Zayne's room and his father is putting an adorable little tuxedo for Zayne.

"Wow, who is that handsome baby?" He approached Zayne.

"Take Zayne, I am going to check if his things are ready. Your mom is still busy with Esme."

He checked the time. It's already six in the afternoon and they need to hurry.

He took Zayne and kissed his forehead. Though he is not his blood, he had fallen in love with baby Zayne.
