It'll Come Naturally

The three members of the Mu family were gathered in the spacious living room. The two adults sat on the long sectional chesterfield sofa as young Justin uncomfortably faced his parents. He shifted his feet from side to side. "Um... I'm sorry Mummy. I have been in the summer camp all these days and didn't have time to buy a gift, as you know it." An awkward smile was plastered on Justin's face as his hands absentmindedly fiddled with his hair, but his steely eyes glanced sideways at Edward in an annoyed fashion. 'All these troubles are because of him, Justin thought to himself.

"It is only an excuse," said Daisy. She pouted and crossed her arms like a little girl who didn't get the toy she wanted. When Edward saw her acting like a cute little child, he couldn't help but internally squeal at her adorable actions even if it was the complete opposite of his strong-willed persona.

"No, it's not. I'm telling the truth, Mummy! If you really want it, I can make up for it next time. What do you think of my idea?" Justin almost yelled out his words in a flurry to defend himself. 'Is she really my mummy? Why do I feel more scared after she changed?' "You mean I let you go this time? Hmm... I'll think about that." Daisy relented, and decided to act kind this time. Her folded arms relaxed themselves to her sides.

was.

"That's great! Mummy is always the best!" Justin almost cried in relief. He released a deep sigh he'd been holding for quite a while. He felt so grateful to escape that it was as if the world was so beautiful again--as long as his mother didn't speak about the gift thing, that Edward looked at his son and his wife and laughed softly, a bemused but peaceful expression on his face. He hadn't expected to have a happy life in this world they lived in, but fate had been kind enough and given him far more than he could think of.

However, Daisy suddenly stopped acting cute at the same time. If she kept doing that, she believed that something unpleasant might happen. 'A woman should know when to stop. It is not a good idea if I act too much.' Daisy knew that clearly as she ceased her actions. The next days passed by idly and quietly. Daisy attended the maneuver on the battleground once, which worried her anxious husband to no end because there might be a disastrous accident waiting to happen to their unborn baby. Luckily, there was none of the sort and the baby seemed strong enough. It just stayed quietly in its mother's womb and everything went well.

Before the expected day of childbirth, Daisy had agreed to stay at home, which made Edward hugely relieved as he had been the anxious husband all the time. However, Daisy did not take her time off for leisure. She busied herself with studies of military strategies, tactics, and weapons every day during her stay at home.

Meanwhile, Edward thought to himself. He did wish to have a daughter this time, but he managed to control himself and told Daisy not to check the sex of the baby. He quite liked the experience of expecting a surprise about the baby.

Soon enough, the much-awaited day came. Although Edward was fully prepared for everything, he was still in a flurry and kept double checking everything. He was not the same calm businessman as he was in the CEO's office. On the other hand, Daisy was prepared well enough. Since it was her second time to give birth, plus the fact that she exercised a lot, she had a smooth birthing experience this time. That changed Edward's perception about babies' birth. Just as Edward hoped, their little bundle of joy turned out to be a girl. He was extremely happy to welcome their daughter to the world, and Justin felt even more ecstatic.

"Daddy, is it true that I have a sister, a younger sister?" Justin asked Edward again and again excitedly, the balls of his feet itching to jump out of joy. They were gathered in Daisy's hospital room, where they gushed over the newborn baby. A wide smile couldn't help blooming on Justin's face. 'I can't believe Daddy was right. I have a lovely younger sister now. I will take her like a princess, ' Justin thought to himself happily as he kept his hold on the baby, not willing to put her down.

"Aren't you holding her in your arms?

It's one hundred percent correct!

You should be careful when holding her, I am telling you." Edward stared like a hawk at his son who held the baby, even though Justin just sat at the sofa chair. He was ready to take the newborn from Justin any time in case anything happened.

"I know that and I will be careful." Justin replied flatly, not taking his eyes off his little sister. Justin held his baby sister in the gentlest and most careful way possibly in fear that he might hurt her. However, his arms soon felt rigid and stiff as he had held her for quite a long time. Meanwhile, Daisy was extremely exhausted and soon fell asleep on her bed. The room lapsed into a peaceful quiet. It was just Edward and Justin who were left to take care of the baby.

The door suddenly clicked open. "Edward, congratulations! You just got your wish." Tom, who wore his usual pristine white doctor's suit, bustled cheerily into the room. Tom still wore his stethoscope around his neck. He must have just finished his work. "Of course I got my wish. I always get what I want!" Edward replied rather proudly as a grin broke onto his face. 'Now I also have a son and a daughter, just like Rain who could not show off about it any more.' Edward thought as he snickered to himself. "You are being narcissistic again. I know you." Tom said. He hit the mark with a single comment. He was rather speechless at Edward who always seemed so self-complacent no matter what situation.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

"So? Are you jealous of me? Why not ask your wife to have a baby again?" Edward said in a carefree voice. He was clearly still basking in happiness because of the newborn baby. Edward fully wore his joy on his sleeve and made no effort to hide it. And why not indeed, he could be at peace and his heart was fine now after all the constant worrying for the last ten months.

"No, never. I don't want Patricia to trod her neck on me once again," Tom said. He still had the jitters. 'All the women will be the same when they are pregnant. They cannot get annoyed a little bit at all, or the consequences will be severe, ' Tom told himself. "As you said, Patricia is bad tempered, isn't she?" Edward asked. Edward said this intentionally when he saw Patricia enter the room and close the door with a soft click.

"Don't you think so?" asked Tom.

Tom felt a little shiver run down his spine when he thought of Patricia's behavior when she was pregnant. He couldn't help but feel a little scared and wouldn't want to experience that again. "How would I know that?" Edward said. Edward would never speak ill of Patricia to her face, so he smartly said nothing about Tom's question.

"Oh, I will never think of that again! I feel too miserable whenever I think of that time. Patricia was like a tigress!" Tom shook his head woefully. It was evident that it was a really unhappy time.

"Tom, did I scare you that much?" Patricia happily came to visit but when she heard her husband's words just now, her good mood was immediately spoiled.

"What? When did you come in? Oh my, you truly surprised me!" Tom almost cried out. He was being weird. What was wrong with him?
