Sadly, the second baby's gender remained a mystery. Ethan would have to wait another month to find out.
It was because the baby did not give the doctor a clear chance to view its gender.
Following Samantha's 5th month pregnancy, she had been needing to sleep upright more often. She found it more appropriate and noticed how it prevented stomach reflux.
Aside from that, she was now often using her maternity pillow.
One night as the couple was fast asleep. Ethan instinctively brought his arm closer to him, expecting to embrace his wife. Sadly, Samantha was not in his arm that he awoke with a frown after the realization hit him.
Turning to Samantha, Ethan cleared his throat, sitting up on the bed. He moved closer and saw how his wife was beautifully sleeping and hugging the maternity pillow on her left side.
He leaned over and pecked on Samantha's cheek. He pressed his lips against her ear and asked, "Is

"I booked two hours of the doctor's time today. There should be no excuse for not being able to determine the second baby's gender," revealed Ethan. Finally, the next month arrived, and yet again, Ethan cleared his schedule to join his wife on her next ultrasound. He only had three months left to have the nursery painted. He badly needed to get the gender out of the way. "Two hours?!" Samantha reacted while sipping on her milkshake. Ethan made sure she had enough sweets before the ultrasound. "I'm prepared to spend all the time needed. If we don't get a clear gender by today, I am going to announce that the second baby is a boy," declared Ethan before crossing his legs. Samantha just chuckled and shook her head. She hooked her arm around Ethan's and concluded, "It's a girl. I can feel it." When Ethan and Samantha came inside the ultrasound room, the man settled in a seat next to his wife. He was prepared

"This is my side," said Kenzie while applying body butter on one side of Samantha's belly. Kyle was doing the same on the other side. He said, "And this side is mine. This is where Kaleb is right, Mom?" Samantha who was sitting up and leaning against the headboard nodded. She answered, "You guys got your sides right." "Great!" Exclaimed Kyle. "Woah! Was that Kate moving?" Kenzie probed after feeling a kick in Samantha's stomach. At eight months, the second baby at thirty-three weeks, her stomach was already very huge, given that she had twins. She badly needed more moistening, especially with her growing stomach. Since her new set of twins turned seven months, the doctor advised her against going to work and just rest it out at home. Thus, Kyle and Kenzie often spent time with her. "Yep, that was her," acknowledged Samantha, feeling a mild pain after her baby's movement. "That was so cool!" Kenzie

2:00 AM at a private hospital. "Doctor, what's going on?" Ethan asked the hospital's resident' physician from inside a private room equipped for Samantha to give birth. "Mr. Wright, your wife's water broke. She will have to deliver the babies soon," told the doctor. Both of them spoke outside the room while Samantha and the babies were being monitored. "But the second baby is not ready yet," Ethan expressed, utterly concerned for his child. "Mr. Wright, sadly, there is no stopping this. It's because the first baby is already ready," the doctor told. "What we can assure you I that the babies will be given the best care and treatment." "Your second baby may need a machine to breathe while her lungs are still not yet fully developed. However, it depends. Base on your wife's records; she received steroids treatment. The baby's lungs may have developed in advance." The doctor shrugged and said, "We can only tell when the b

"John, I'm taking a paternity leave for two weeks," Ethan told his assistant on the phone.He heard John Garcia's awkward response, "Ah, boss. Your family owns the company, so you don't need to ask permission."There was silence between them before Ethan said, "I know that, John. I am telling you so you can clear my schedule and do what you needed to do. As necessary, see me at home with important documents.""In any case, Dad will stand in for me," Ethan added."Yes, Mr. Wright, and congratulations on your babies! May I just say, I am very - very happy for you," said John.Putting down the phone, Ethan turned to his little man, sleeping in the hospital crib. He smiled, took Kaleb in his arms, and said, "Mommy will have to keep visiting your sister for some time... So I guess, you'll spend more time with Daddy for two weeks."Soon, Samantha came in with Sarah, being brought with a wheelchair. Samantha said, "I'm ready to go

Six months passed.Both Kaleb and Kate were growing up well. The twins were gaining weight fast as well.They were able to easily sit up with minimal support at six months, already able to play with their siblings, blabber, and giggle happily as they did."Crawl to me, Kate!" Kenzie called as she and Kyle were playing with their younger siblings from inside the nursery."And Kaleb, come to me!" Kyle encouraged.The four of them were inside a fenced area of the nursery, with floor mats and with stuffed toys and other toys fit for their age.Nearly every day, Kenzie and Kyle had made it a habit to play with their siblings in the afternoon. Their Mommy usually joined them whenever Samantha would get off from work early.Kate and Kaleb excitedly crawled in the direction of their siblings, racing as they giggled in thrill.With Kaleb's stronger built, however, he managed to arrive firs

"Doctor? How is it?" Ethan asked after the doctor came back in with the results of Samantha's recent laboratories.The doctor sat on his desk and reviewed the documents. After a while, he answered, "Everything is normal, and it has been for more than a year now."With a smile on his face, the doctor added, "I suppose it's safe to say that the Kannareth disease will no longer manifest."While Samantha was pregnant, she had monthly laboratories done, just to keep her health monitored.Shortly after giving birth, they have switched to quarterly visits to the doctor, and thankfully, Samantha showed no signs of the Kannareth disease.The doctor scoffed and declared, "So the pregnancy may have really helped!""We think so, doctor. In fact, BNU pharmaceuticals are already looking into this angle." Ethan leaned back in his seat and told, "I have even funded their research so more women who are affected by this illness will find a solutio
