Reborn, Reawakened, Rekindled

Chapter 373

“Try to stay in as much as possible,” my dad warned us.

I nodded, my hand instinctively rubbing my belly, filled with unease as if someone were coming to snatch my babies away.

“Alright, they’re probably just passing by. I’ll stay in for a few days.” I responded.

Despite my words, everyone looked grave. Some emotional entanglements that should have ended long before just never seemed to go away from our lives.

Ever since we found out Neil and Karina were in town, we kept our doors closed for three days, and Russel rarely dropped by.

“You’ve got your prenatal check-up today; are you all set?” my mom asked me early in the morning.

Despite my reluctance to go out, I had to keep up with my prenatal appointments. The doctor warned that twins were prone to premature birth, requiring stricter conditions during delivery and weekly check-ups in the latter part of pregnancy, ideally twice a week.

That was about the health of me and my babies. I had to step out.

Dad had the car ready, and we set off for the hospital.

Upon reaching, I felt a bit hungry, but some tests required fasting, so I asked my dad to grab some food for me, while my mom helped with the payment and paperwork.

After the check-up, the doctor told me, “The babies are a bit oxygen-deprived. You need to take oxygen. If you can do it at home, do it daily; otherwise, you’ll have to come to the hospital.”

“Is it that serious?” I gasped.

“It’s mild for now, but you need to keep track of the babies’ movements, frequency, and count. If there’s any anomaly, come to the hospital immediately,” the doctor advised me meticulously, “Why are you here alone? Don’t you have someone to accompany you? Look at your belly; what if something happens?”
