"They are all fine." He saw the confusion wash over her weary face. "We're having triplets, Qian Meng."
She sucked in a shocked breath before squeezing her eyes shut. "Why can't we do anything normally? Did we really have to be such overachievers?" she asked jokingly.
He sniffed. "Part of why you are sick is because we are having multiples. It's your first pregnancy, too. We will need to take care of you and make sure your morning sickness doesn't hurt your body."
"The doctor explained everything to you?" she asked.
"This morning."
"I missed it?"
"Yes. But they promised to give us the ultrasound photos." He dropped his hand to her stomach. "I already had a goddess guiding my life. Now I have angels, too."
She raised her hand to his cheek and stroked his face.
"How long was I out for?"
"Two nights."
