At the entrance of the obstetrics and gynecology ultrasound room at Betrico Hospital, Morris stood by the wall, glaring at a large poster that read, “Gentlemen, please stop here.”

He clearly wasn’t happy. He glanced over at Hugh, who was standing behind him, helping carry some things. “Who decided this? The woman who just went in is my wife. What privacy could there possibly be? Even her husband can’t go in with her?”

Hugh, who was still single and had no experience with such matters, awkwardly scratched his head. “Mr. Chivers, I don’t know about this either. I’m even less experienced than you.”

But he tried to offer some insight, “I think it’s because they’re worried that the dad might startle the baby during the ultrasound.”

Morris stared at him, his frustration growing. “I…You…Forget it.” He sat down on a nearby bench, clearly anxious. But he couldn’t stay seated for long; soon he was pacing back and forth at the door.

Hugh shook his head as he watched Mr. Chivers. “Mr. Chivers, I advise you to relax a little. If you’re this nervous just for Mrs. Chivers’s first ultrasound, what will you do when the time comes?

“My mom told me that giving birth isn’t easy, and you’ll probably pass out from anxiety outside the delivery room.

“I don’t see anyone else as anxious as you are. Besides, Mrs. Chivers is a doctor; she has experience with this. Pregnant women need a relaxing environment.”

After Hugh finished speaking, Morris shot him a glare. If they hadn’t been life–or–death brothers for years, Hugh would’ve been dead by now.

But Hugh’s words had touched on the very thing Morris was afraid of.

He knew all too well what childbirth meant for a woman, especially from the experience of his own mother, Hilda.

After giving birth to him, she died from complications caused by excessive bleeding. At that moment, he couldn’t help but feel an irrational fear creeping over him.

Just as these thoughts swirled in his mind, the ultrasound room door opened with a soft “click,” and Cherise emerged, holding an A4 sheet of paper and smiling.

Hugh was the first to speak, “Mrs. Chivers, you’re finally out! If you hadn’t come out soon, Mr. Chivers would’ve been in a panic.”

Cherise immediately understood. She saw the concern on Morris’s face and knew exactly what he was worried about.
