Daddy, Chasing Mommy Back is On Us!

Both Selena and Pierre stared at their daughter speechlessly. "I don't want you to only think about helping me with my pregnancy, Juniper. I want you to really think if you would like to be a traditional Chinese medicine doctor. Doctor Werner wants to teach you all about acupuncture and moxibustion, so you'll have to learn how to use needles." Selena brought up the topic of needles as she knew that Juniper was afraid of them. She hoped that it would be able to scare the young girl off.

"Really? That's perfect!" Juniper clapped excitedly. "I'll be able to conquer my fear of needles, then! I want to be Doctor Werner's apprentice, Mommy! Is that okay?"

Selena and Pierre stared at her exasperatedly. "Look. I told you; it's useless trying to talk some sense into her. We should just make the decision ourselves. Let's leave the mountains now.
