Should I Joke (Again)

96. I'm gonna be daddy

Mama has been home since this afternoon picked up by papa who also wants to see his new grandchild.

Mama is very enthusiastic about telling how the results of the USG examination and showing her photos.

Papa smiled, and prayed that the mother and the future baby would always be healthy. After they ate with mom and dad came home.

They left one of the maids at home to live there, although Rei refused but the mother remained in principle, and he did not like to be denied.

Rei resigned too, than he got the scolding of his mother-in-law. But there were benefits as well, so she could focus on her pregnancy.

Rei is not allowed to do many activities that can make him tired, but that does not mean he has to spend the day lazing.

Rei just can not do heavy homework such as mopping and ironing as usual, if washing Rei already use the washing machine like most people.

But since there was an aunt at home all the work was taken over by aunty, only for her privacy areas such as the bedroom and workspace her husband still Rei who works.

Because Rei didn't like anyone entering his private area even though it was his close person. And aunt understood that.

To cook Rei still often cook himself only occasionally aunt who continues if his mistress already looks tired.

It had been two days Rei had only slept in his bed, he seemed reluctant to move from there. Even Rei also did not want to leave the house during the day, and only wanted to take a bath with warm water.

Though he used to be very clean, Ardan to wonder. But mom said it might be baby-carried. Ardan must be patient with him during pregnancy.

Sometimes Rei just wants to eat in the room and Ardan or aunt brings his food to the room.

Rei and Ardan were still occupying the guest room on the lower floor, as it was closer to the kitchen as well as the aunt's bedroom, so in case of need something would quickly help her.

Rei is a little strange with his habits lately, Rei's mom and her brother Dani often visit him at home if not follow her husband out of town.

They are happy with the news of Rei's pregnancy. Even though they felt strange about Rei's habits now. But they understand because everyone's pregnancy is different.

Mama Ardan and Dina and her daughter also often accompany her at home since Rei was lazy to leave the house.

If in the past Rei often accompanied Dina wherever she went, now replace Dina who accompanied her sister-in-law at home.

Rei still often experience morning sickness but not as severe as before. Food that enters his stomach can also be slowly digested although he will still release it through vomiting.

Ardan doesn't have the heart, but he doesn't know what to do either. All he could do was accompany his wife and monitor her while taking the medicine.

If Ardan was busy at a cafe or restaurant, he would call his aunt to watch his wife eat and take medicine.

After Ardan and Rei's dinner sitting in the middle room watching the teve, Rei's mama left some cookies for Rei. They enjoyed the cake together.

Rei also shared it with auntie, since auntie had never tasted the cake her mother made, let alone the cake was also too much if only they both enjoyed it.

It was noon when he was in his office, Mom

calling Ardan to stop by the house before returning home, Mama got a wet cake order from a neighbor near the house for her son's proposal.

Sis Dani and her two daughters helped mama, and also gave some to Rei knowing it was her favorite cake.

When he arrived at his father-in-law Ardan was still invited to play by his two nephews. Papa Rei does not look there, said mama papa is not healthy for several days.

Ardan then decided to meet his father-in-law, Ardan knew that the relationship between the two of them was not very familiar. Ardan understood, probably still could not forgive himself for what happened to Rei.

Ardan knocked on his in-laws room door, afraid to interrupt his father-in-law's break. After an answer from inside Ardan's room, he opened the door and entered the room.

Papa turned his head, he knew that knocking on the door must be his son-in-law because his wife and son never knocked on the door, they would usually go straight in after calling his papa.

Papa told Ardan to come closer, and sat by his bedside. Ardan, according to him, when he saw the condition of his father-in-law who was thinner than the last they met after they came from outside the city.

They then talked for quite a while, much to which papa told Ardan. Papa also asks Ardan to take care of Rei, and also loves him wholeheartedly, as Rei has already had two household failures.

Moreover, his last marriage still leaves the heart of Papa Rei because he asked Rei to marry his choice.

Papa feels guilty about it, Ardan knows it's all fate that Rei has to live. And Ardan had no problem with Rei's status, even Ardan was grateful to be able to treat Rei's heartache and trauma because of his previous marriage.

Mama knows there's a lot you want to talk to Ardan her daughter-in-law about. So neither mama nor Dani dared to bother him.

After a long time the two men of different generations spoke with four eyes in the room, both of them then went out into the dining room.

Papa invites his wife and children to eat together, even without Rei because papa does not want Rei to know his condition until it will cause Rei sad and will affect his pregnancy.

After eating together that afternoon Ardan said goodbye because Rei would definitely look for him, and Rei would be suspicious if he knew Ardan was at Rei's house now.

At ten o'clock in the evening, the couple finally went into their room to rest.

Ardan hugged his wife and rubbed her flat stomach, which now had a baby.

Ardan also kissed Rei's stomach, Rei smiled as well as feeling amused. Ardan often does it when they are together.

Rei rubbed her husband's hair as Ardan lowered his head and kissed his wife's stomach many times.

"Darling, you know I'm so happy. I'm gonna be a father. I'm gonna be daddy."

Ardan once again kissed Rei's stomach and rubbed it gently. Rei was also unable to cover up her happiness, seeing her husband happy like this made Rei think of her two ex-husbands.

Each of them had their own story, and Rei had no intention of comparing the three of them.

For Rei his life is now perfect, having a husband who loves him and accepts him for who he is. They have a big family and friends who love them, and soon they will have a child.

Rei shed happy tears, hopefully this happiness will always be with him.
