S3 161. How Was Last Night?

“Louis, what’s wrong with your eyes?” Abigail asked after saying good morning. While sitting next to Diana, she observed the boy. “You look like an owl.”

“Louis couldn’t sleep, Abi. He kept thinking about how a woman could get pregnant even though I told him to sleep and not think about it anymore.”

While Frank and Kara shook their heads, Abigail chuckled. “You shouldn’t sacrifice your sleep thinking about that, Louis. Your eyes are swollen, but you still can’t find the answer. Look at Emily. Her face is radiant and fresh.”

“But I ended up sleeping, after I agreed with Emily.” Louis looked to the side. “It seems you’re right, Emily. Daddy planted the baby in Mommy’s belly through the navel. Last night, Uncle Philip must have been doing it too. That’s why Auntie was panting. She was amused because Uncle kept digging into her navel.”

Some of the adults looked down and laughed. Some were stunned.

“How did you know Barbara was panting, Louis?” Susan inquired.

“Louis hijacked Mommy’s phone, Grandma. Then we called Auntie. We wanted to ask about her condition. We were worried because previously, Auntie called Mommy and sounded scared,” Emily reported with a serious expression.

“But apparently, Auntie was fine. She could still answer our calls. She said it was just a little painful.” Louis pinched the air with his thumb and forefinger.

Susan looked straight at Kara. Blinking stiffly, Kara shrugged.

“I don’t know when Louis took my phone.”

“We’re sorry, Mom. Next time, we won’t be negligent again.” Frank nodded while grimacing meaningfully.

“I really don’t understand. Why can’t small kids know about that? And what’s wrong with us calling Auntie last night?” Louis grumbled while scratching his temple.

“Because it’s an invasion of privacy, Louis, and you’re not qualified.”

Everyone turned to the voice. Barbara entered, side by side with Philip.

“Auntie!” Emily’s eyes lit up.

“Good morning, Everyone,” Philip said as he pulled out a chair for Barbara. “Are we late?”

“In fact, you’re too early. Newlyweds shouldn’t rush,” Melanie said, winking at her daughter. Barbara chuckled.

“How was last night? Was it smooth?”

Kara quickly elbowed Frank, warning that the twins were listening.

“Yeah, we did well.” Philip smiled as he sat next to his wife.
