Hanson had renovated his apartment, Candy agreed to him that they would move to his apartment after the wedding.
They entered Hanson's apartment right after they went back from their honeymoon, and the next week they had some trips to Swiss, for honeymoon ... again ? .... Yes ... but for work also !
Candy is a workaholic woman, she didn't want to spend her time for useless thing unless it can produce some money also.
She had made some appointments with few clients there, Hanson just following her work rhythm, he enjoyed her passion on working. After they finished their business they spend a week to enjoyed the views of Swiss and attending music concert in there.
Suddenly something came to her mind "Hubby, how about if we support an orchestra group in our town ? I want our children will be part of them as well in the future."
Hanson thought for some time, he nodded "Hmm... it's a good idea, we can supports some music genius too right ?"
"Yeah it's a good will too !" she responded him with bright smile.

Three months later ...
It was a bright and sunny week end, that day was Candy's birthday. Her mom came to her apartment to send her favorite noodle wonton soup very early in the morning.
She opened the door for her and welcomed her. She smelled her favorite food came along with her mom "Hmm.... my appetite suddenly appear when you entered my house just now mom !" she said excitingly.
Her mom placed the noodle on her bowl, she smiled "I knew you will cravings this noodle every year on your birthday ! Happy birthday dear !" she kissed her forehead.
"Thank you mom !"
Hanson came to the dining table as well, he kissed her cheek "Happy birthday Qian ! Mm the noodle looks good, can I have it too mom though I'm not celebrating my birthday ?"
"Sure ! I bring more than enough for you both ! Come have a try !"
Hanson brought his bowl and started to taste the food "Mm the noodle is taste well ! You're a good cook mom !"
Candy was about to eat her noodle also excitingly, but when she started to eat the noodle a little suddenly she covered her mouth, her face turned to pale, few seconds later she ran to the toilet and threw them all.
Hanson shocked he ran to her "What's wrong?" Hanson asked anxiously as though his heart almost jumped out of his mouth.
He stood beside her patting her back "Are you sick ?"
Candy ran out of gastric juice to puke, she stood up and wiped off the uncontrollable tears that flowed when she vomited. Then, she cleaned her mouth. "I think I'm just sick of the taste."
"Like, I thought it was so tasty. Anyway, I couldn't stand the taste when I tasted it," Candy said as she took the cup of water that he passed her and gargled.
Hanson frowned. "Do you feel better now?"
Candy nodded. "I'm fine. Let's go back. I think I just don't have the appetite today. I have a feeling that today's grand meal will be wasted."
Her mom came to see her back from the toilet "What's wrong Qian ? Are you sick ?"
"I'm fine now mom, let me sit down for a while" she sighed while sitting on her chair.
Hanson worried with her condition "Let's go. We're going to the hospital now" he pulled her up without hesitation.
"Yes, you must see the doctor Qian, take her to the hospital now Han. Don't worry about me, I'll come back on my own, the driver had waited me outside."
Candy hesitated at first "I'm OK, I don't want to go to the hospital !"
"Just listen to me this time alright ? I won't relax if we don't check it out. Sorry mom I can't see you out !" Hanson insisted with his serious look on his facial. He left Caren alone at their house.
He dragged her into the car finally after some arguing, she saw that he was extremely anxious, but she did not know how to console him either. She was no longer feeling unwell.
When they got into the hospital, Hanson took her to the internist.
Once the doctor heard about her symptoms, the doctor glanced at Candy and let her lie down on a hospital bed. The doctor pressed on the general area where her stomach was. There were no symptoms.
"When was the last time you had your period?" The doctor stopped pressing on her stomach and asked.
Candy's mind went blank for a while and blinked. Hanson had yet to notice what was going on. He was not particularly sensitive in such matters and thought that it was just a normal medical consultation session.
Candy had some ideas but disregarded them as she thought it was not possible. She felt nothing was different.
"My period is irregular. Sometimes, I get my period a few days earlier or five to six days late," Candy answered. Other than that, she did not seem to feel much pain when she was on her period.
The doctor passed the prescription for a blood test to Hanson. "You should bring Mrs. Jang to a blood test first."
Hanson furrowed his eyebrows "Why would she need a blood test? Why is it so serious? What's wrong with her?" he asked the doctor with nervous.
"You don't need to be so agitated, it's just a normal check-up," the doctor had a good guess about what it was, but the principles of her profession did not allow her to reveal this guess to the patient without any evidence. What if she was wrong?
"Is a blood test part of a normal check-up? Tell me honestly, is there something wrong with her?" asked Hanson curiously.
Candy smiled and nodded. She was actually not too worried, but when Hanson started acting so agitated, it made her anxious as well. She tried to comforter him "It's OK just a blood test, let's go don't bother the doctor anymore !" she smiled to the doctor and thanked her.
Candy went to get her blood tested and got the results not long after.
They went back to the doctor and handed over the result to her.
He did not expect the doctor to smile widely upon going through the results of the blood test. She held up her head and said, "Mr. Jang, you do not need to be worried. On the contrary, I'd like to congratulate both Mr. and Mrs. Jang. According to the results, Mrs. Jang has been pregnant for 50 days."
Candy widened her eyes "A...Are you sure ?" she couldn't believe what she just heard.
The doctor nodded. "That was why I asked you when your last period was. Even though you said it wasn't accurate, but judging by what you had told me, I suspected that you were pregnant. However, I wasn't sure so I didn't tell you beforehand in case you got happy over nothing."
While Hanson got froze for a minute, he didn't believe what he just heard too. Then he soon recovered from the shock but had a look of absolute disbelief on his face. "You're an internist, are you sure you're right about this?"
The doctor smiled "You can go to the gynecologist and find out if there is anything you need to pay attention to."
Candy nodded in agreement and was about to leave but realized that Hanson was still rooted to the spot.
She did not know whether to laugh or cry as she pulled him along. "Come on, let's go to the gynecologist !"
Hanson finally snapped to attention, but before they had even left the clinic, he turned to ask her again "Are you really pregnant?"
His dark eyes were shining brightly, but there was a spark of uncertainty in them. He was so confused that he actually looked adorably innocent.
Candy chuckled "Let's go check it out at the gynecologist !"
When they got into the gynecologist, he handed over the blood test result to him.
The doctor read the results and confirmed, "Your wife is pregnant. It has been 50 days. Congratulations !"
Candy lifted her head and looked happily at Hanson. "See, it's true !"
Hanson just smiled faintly, actually he wanted to laugh in delight but still wanted to maintain his cool image. He did not want to embarrass himself too much.
Candy asked the doctor again, "Is there anything I need to pay special attention to?"
The doctor was used to these questions, so he explained everything to Candy in detail and later took out a small pamphlet. "This booklet is by our hospital. There is information here about what a pregnant woman should look out for during this period. You need to watch your food and have regular exercise. All the information is there. Some emergencies might come up, so you should take care to read about it as well. If something happens as printed in the booklet, don't get anxious. Just follow the instructions included and you will be fine."
The doctor then prescribed some vitamins for her to take during the pregnancy. She took it and thanked him before leaving.
When Candy was finally got into the car, both of them sighed with relief.
"Is there anything you'd like to eat? You haven't had breakfast this morning, the baby in your belly needs some nutrition as well !" asked Hanson as he drove away the car.
"Well I think we should go back home first, I don't have appetite now !" said Candy lazily.
"I'll make you some congee at home, try to have some !" Hanson persuaded her.
Just hearing the word congee almost made her puke, but she didn't to argue with him right now, she thought about the nutrition for her baby also. She's no longer live for herself only now.

Few months later ....
"Hubby, I think it's time for me to get birth now. Please send me to the hospital now !" she tried to held her stomach pain which was came every fifteen minutes.
Hanson looked at her pale face with worry "OK... hold on.."
When they got into the hospital, the nurse took her on the wheelchair and hurriedly went to the confinement room. She's ready to gave birth at that time.
Hanson couldn't bear to see her pain so he just wait for her outside the room . After an hour wait he heard a baby crying, he smiled relieved.
The nurse came out to let him see the baby for a while "It's a boy !" He didn't dare to carry him since he's still vulnerable, but he's so happy to see him.
He then informed both parents about Candy's gave birth to their son, everyone was so exciting.
Hanson went to see Candy after a while "Are you alright babe ?" as he looked at her pale facial face.
"Ouh I'm so exhausted Han bro, can I have some water ?"
Hanson got her a glass of water beside her bed "Here take some water, thank you for given me a cute baby boy !" he kissed her forehead.
"Can I see the baby ? I want to hold it a while." asked Candy.
Hanson took the baby and gave it to her.
"So it's you little creature, who had kicked mommy's tummy many times ! I love you my baby !" she held him a while.
"We've agreed to call him David Jang right ?" asked Hanson.
"Nice name ! Then I'll call him DJ !" she laughed "DJ you should grow fast to be a handsome young man just like your daddy !"
Hanson laughed out loud "Of course he should be handsome, cause he's my son DJ !"
***
Three months later ....
Candy started complaining "Ouh I'm very bored hubby just stayed at home watching the baby, and he's getting naughtier by the day ! Can I go back to the office now ?" asked her desperately.
"So, who will look after him ?"
"Well, my mom said she couldn't bear to wait another day to play with him."
"But he's still need your breast milk !"
"Sure I'll still give him my breast milk, DJ just stay with grandma on day time. My mom will send him back to me every day on the afternoon."
After thinking for a while Hanson nodded "OK do as you like ! We'll see in a week."
Caren was so exciting when she heard about her grandson would come that day.
"I will stay here for a day so that you can get use to him. I'll tell you all about his habit also." said Candy.
"Wow he's very cute, I can't wait to play with you all day my cutie pie !" said Caren with bright smile.
Josh mom came also to see her great grand child, though she's very old now, but she's still wanted to play with him also.
After a few weeks Selina heard about her grandchild had been entrusted to her in law, she was very jealous to her, then she called Hanson.
"Han I heard Qian got back to your office now ? So, who is looking after DJ now ?"
"Her mom" he responded to her.
"DJ is my grandson too, why didn't you entrusted him to me ?"
"It was her idea mom, I don't know about it."
"Can I look after DJ also ?"
"I know you care about DJ mom, but a baby can't adapt to a new environment very easily. So I think he'd better stay at my in law for now. Wait for him to get bigger, that will be your turn then !"
Selina tried to persuaded him "But I want to see him sometime, can I ?"
"Sure you can, just visit my in law house."
Though Selina still upset, she could understand what her son said. She then visited her in law to see her grandchild once in a while.
***
Time flew fast, they were celebrating DJ's first birthday now. They held a little party in Josh's house, and invited some friends and relatives.
"Han, don't you think you need a house ? Don't you think living in a tiny apartment with a baby a bit stuffy ? Children need more rooms and more space for them to play." asked Josh.
Hanson responded him "Yes, I've talked about it with Qian before, but she still preferred to live in apartment for now. I've bought a house near my dad's house a while ago, it's still under repairing now."
"Just for you to know, I've bought the land beside my house long time ago and it's ready to be build into a house for you and Qian to live. Just think about it." Josh tried to persuade him.
Hanson thought it for a while, he thought it's a good idea "I will, thank you dad. I'll talk to Qian about it."
When they got back into their apartment DJ was angry, he didn't want to go home with them, because he's too attached with his grandma and he already felt at home at her house.
"Hmm... have you ever thought before that DJ will be like this ? He has attached to his grandma more than his parents ! You should think about it again Qian your career or your family ?"
Candy just silent that night she kept all of his words "Yes, he's right, I have to choose between career or family !"
Hanson told her also about his plan to move to a landed house with bigger space for children.
"You're right all about it Han bro, just go with your plan." Candy responded his idea.
"I know you've done a lot to my company and I thank you for all of them, but I like you more as my wife my partner in life." Hanson tried to persuaded her to stop working at his company and pay attention more to the family matters.
Six months later Candy had made up her mind to resign from her job at his office. While Hanson had agreed with Josh to build a house on the land beside his house, Mark also agreed to his decision since their son DJ was very attached to his grandma there, it would be easier for him to adapt to a new house near his grandma's house.
Candy and Hanson was laying down on their bed to get ready for sleep that night.
"Hubby, I've fulfilled my dream to get some awards of my hard work these past few years, so I think it's time for me to get retired from your office and try something new again." said Candy suddenly.
"OK, what's your next plan ?"
"I've talked to my mom, she agreed to open a gallery together with me, it will take my time, but lesser. So I can have more time with my child."
Hanson smiled brightly "That's a good idea ! So, can we have another child then ?"
Candy blushed, she widened her eyes "What ? I haven't prepare for it for now, maybe we can talk about it later." her face turned to red.
Hanson laughed out loud , he tickled her and they laughed together on the bed.
It took a year for her to prepare for her own gallery with her mom's help. She gathered some nice and famous paintings all over the world, she also displayed her own photos collection from all over the world.
Candy was expecting their second child before she opened her new gallery.
Hanson was smiling happily carrying their second child who just born.
"Ah she's so cute, finally I can have a daughter too. Let's name her Chelsea Jang !"
Candy nodded, she agreed with him, her husband always good in selecting name for their children "Yeah, it's a perfect name ! Let's call her CJ !"
She named her gallery Chelsea, the same as her daughter's name. They all living in a happy and complete life.
Selina came to the opening of her gallery, she helped her carrying her baby girl.
"Well, I think this time is my turn to play with you my little girl, since I don't have any baby girl !" she said it while looking at Candy. Candy just smiled at her.
