Great news spread like fire. The news of two pregnant brides-to-be became the hottest topic in their family group chats. Feeling overwhelmed by the unlimited number of texts, Nana, Wei Na, and Ya Nuo decided to have their families gather to celebrate altogether. This dinner gathering would also include their explanation for everyone about how the girls found out that they had their buns baking in their oven.
Night of the Gathering at Huang residence
Everyone chattered excitedly and fulfilled the pregnant ladies' needs before attending their own. Almost every step that Wei Na and Nana took brought along the crowd of parents and grandparents. After everyone settled down, it was story time.
Ya Nuo smiled, "Let me do the hard work for our main girls and tell you guys how and when we found out that they were pregnant. That day..." She cleared her throat before continuing....
Ya Nuo, Nana and Wei Na heard that their favorite cosmetic brand released a new product line in which they were dying to get their hands on for months prior. Finally, after weeks of staying in bed, Nana and Wei Na reluctantly left their comfortable beds and apartment to go out to do some shopping.
It took Ya Nuo around five hours to convince them to leave the house because their weddings are coming up and they should be looking their best. According to their partners, Bin Guan and Zhen Qi, both gals have been slacking off lately and always stayed indoors. They would eat, sleep, get up for a drink, and go back to sleep.
At first, the guys thought that they were just tired. Later, they just concluded that their girlfriends were too lazy to get out of bed. Finally, they couldn't take it anymore and contacted Ya Nuo to help drag them out for some fresh air.
The recently released product line is only available at one location, which was in the mall. It was perfect timing for Ya Nuo because the triplets were staying over with their grandparents for a few weeks. Since Nana and Wei Na's weddings are around the corner, Ya Nuo needed to help them out as much as she could.
After driving from Wei Na's place to Nana's place, they finally arrived at the mall. They only walked around for half an hour or less and both Wei Na and Nana were groaning from fatigue. They already lost their motivation to shop. All they wanted to do was head home, hug their pillows, and sleep.
Ya Nuo sighed seeing their lack of energy, "Oh, come on! The last time I asked you guys out, both of you ended up ditching me saying that you were too tired to move. You two need to exercise more or else you'll gain so much weight that your wedding dresses wont fit."
Receiving only yawns and teary eyes, Ya Nuo shook her head, "Fine. We can sit and rest for now. Let's head to the food court, and I'll grab you guys some energy drinks and food. After eating, then we will go shop."
Wei Na and Nana didn't understand why they couldn't fight their daily dose of drowsiness. Normally, they wake up with their fiances and enjoy breakfast with them. Now, they always overslept and rarely spent much time clinging to their man.
Ya Nuo's mouth was left dangling opened in an O shape when she came back with a tray of food and drinks. She saw two drained body corpse on the dining table and wondered if she had entered a zombie apocalypse. She knocked on the table's surface a few times, attempting to wake them up.
"Earth to Nana. Earth calling for Wei Na... Yooohoooo. Helllo~~ Anyone there? You two are going to become my dried salted fish snack if you don't get up~" She snapped her fingers by their ears, awakening them. That was how she played with her triplets to get their attention. 'Aha! So this trick works pretty darn well.'
They rubbed their barely opened eyes and yawned again. Ya Nuo handed them their drinks and their favorite spaghetti dishes from the food court. "Here, eat up while the food is still warm. Drink this; you'll recover your energy."
Wei Na mumbled, "Why is there a barrier to my spaghetti? Let me..use my magic wand...and....huh.. still there..."
Ya Nuo raised her eyebrows with amusement, "Wei Na, you didn't remove the plastic cover to your spaghetti yet. Of course you couldn't get the spaghetti."
Wei Na scratched her head, "Ahh...."
Ya Nuo turned her head towards Nana's side to realize that she had fallen back asleep. This time, she used her drink to support her chin as she dozed off to her cotton candy land. She sighed and carefully adjusted Nana's sleeping position.
Nana opened her eyes, "Huh? What just happened?"
Ya Nuo tapped her fingers on the table surface, "You two. Were you guys secretly robbing a bank or something during the night? You are acting as if you two never sleep or sleep super late."
Both of them shook their heads, "We sleep very early. Actually, we might have slept throughout the entire day too."
Ya Nuo whispered, "Then are the guys being unreasonable while doing it in bed? Like daily body activities? That could have reduced your stamina. Tell them that doing too much exercise is bad for their spine."
Both of them shook their heads and stared at the meal in front of them. They confessed that they haven't been doing much with their partners because of their drowsiness. Hearing the different symptoms, Ya Nuo listed, "So... Fatigue only wants to sleep, upset stomach, some weird cramps that didn't feel like menstrual cramps, and missed periods...you two really can't think of the most obvious reason why you're feeling all these?"
They blinked twice and exchanged glances with one another before gasping, "We're pregnant?"
Ya Nuo stared at their shocked expressions, "Well, what is there to expect? You guys didn't use protection and probably went with the flow whenever you guys do it. One way to find out ~ Pregnancy test~"
Now, the girls were wide awake after hearing the possibility of being pregnant. They subconsciously stared at their flat tummy after purchasing a few pregnancy tests and using it in the bathroom.
Tick Tock
Time went by slower than usual. Much slower for those who were waiting eagerly for the results. When time was up, they held their tests in their hands and mumbled, "Positive...."
Ya Nuo cheered excitedly, "Congratulations!!!! I'll finally be someone's auntie and you two wont have to hog my babies!!!!" The three of them hugged each other happily and checked the positive sign multiple times before dumping the test out.
Later, they went to the hospital to confirm the pregnancy news. Once confirmed, Nana and Wei Na thought of ways in telling their husbands-to-be that they are expecting a new family member.
Present
After Ya Nuo had told the story, her triplets approached her and hugged her knees and arms as if they were jealous that they didn't receive her attention. "hmmm? What is it? What are you three up to?"
They lifted their innocent faces and stared at her, "Mommy... hug." Her triplets held their tiny arms up, wanting to be held by her.
"Hahahaha, awwww. But only two of you could fit at a time. Mommy doesn't have enough space to carry all three of you. How about this? Mommy will hug each of you for ten minutes and then you'll go over to your grandparents to accompany them."
"Okayyy" They quickly nodded and obediently waited for their turn. Wei Na and Nana giggled at the adorable triplets while holding their fiance's hand.
Nana whispered to Zhen Qi, "I hope we have twins. A boy and a girl. Little you and me hehe." He smiled and kissed her on the forehead, "If not twins, then we can have as many little ones as you want."
Wei Na hugged Bin Guan's arm, "I hope our babies will be as cute as them. If my babies do such cute actions, I'll melt from sweetness every day. Ahhh, I can't wait to meet this little one."
Bin Guan chuckled, "Heh, then I'll make sure to give you more than one child to shower you with love every day. Drown you in happiness." She laughed and pinched his nose, "You! One is enough for me. Anymore and I won't be able to hold my big child, you."
"Then let's have two. I can carry one of them using one hand, and you hold the other one's hand. We'll still be able to hold each other's hand." He whispered gently to her ears. "Mmm...as long as you don't mind staying awake for many nights nonstop for them. Hehe."
"You're all worth my time." He kissed her on the cheeks and placed his blazer around her body.
"I'm not cold." She looked at him with a confused expression.
"Your hands are cold so baby might be cold. Better to be more careful. Tell me if you feel tired, we can head home earlier or you can rest here." He caressed her flat tummy dotingly.
While the couples exchanged glances, the liveliness of the gathering only heightened over time as parents spoke of grandchildren and what they need to prepare for their daughters. Grandparents had their fun teasing the couples and thinking of their great grandchildren to come.
