Tonight, Luna with Alexa, Dina, and Maura went to the mall. They go shopping on purpose before going their separate ways because they have been together for almost three days.
"Luna, that's a dress for you," said Dina while pointing at an elegant negligee for pregnant women.
"It's really big, Mom," replied Luna, turning her head towards the negligee her mother-in-law had pointed to.
"Your stomach will still get bigger." Dina took the negligee and matched it to Luna's body.
Luna swallowed her saliva when her mother-in-law told her that her stomach would get bigger. She imagined her body would be very fat with a belly as big as a balloon about to explode.
Luna shuddered. 'Why am I pregnant with a man who has twin genes, my destiny ...?'
"Hahaha really big." Alexa laughs at Luna who will buy a large negligee, while Maura is busy looking for clothes for herself, she loves shopping.
"Hopefully later you will be like me too," said Luna while glancing at Alexa who was laughing at her.
Alexa shuddered at the thought.
"You should like it. Twins are a very beautiful gift, let alone identical twins. Mommy imagines your child will look like you or Ethan, it must be cute. Whether handsome or beautiful," advised Dina, as a mother-in-law she is very happy to have two grandchildren at once.
"By the way, when will the ultrasound again, let it be caught by a boy or a girl?" asked Alexa curiously.
"Eh, when it's been seven months," replied Luna.
"Mommy prefers surprises," said Dina.
"What do you mean by surprise?" asked Luna with a frown.
"For ultrasound, we just want to know about their health. We don't have to think about gender. You will know when it's born. It's more memorable," said Dina while carrying the negligee she was going to buy for Luna to the boutique keeper.
"But if we know the gender from the start, we can prepare the appropriate clothes, Mom," said Luna, who had been following her in-laws.
Alexa disappeared somewhere? The girl doesn't like to choose feminine clothes. Of course, she chose to go to another boutique.
"About clothes, it's not a problem. Shopping impromptu, just tells Ethan's assistant or mom to do the shopping. The hospital is also available," replied Dina casually.
Luna nodded knowingly, her mother-in-law acted like Ethan, or vice versa, Ethan's character followed his mother's simple and not grandiose nature.
Dina invites Luna to buy special milk for her. For stock at home even though Luna can shop alone. But the in-laws are very understanding. She also bought a special pillow for pregnant women, so that Luna could sleep soundly.
'The mother is good, the son is good. How lucky I am?' thought Luna as she continued to follow her mother-in-law. Sometimes she held her waist which was getting sore.
"You tired?" asked Dina.
"Quite tired, Mom," replied Luna with a shy smile.
Dina sighed because she forgot the time when shopping. She did not remember that she was taking her pregnant daughter-in-law. It must be easy to get tired.
"Come on, let's go home. It's also nine o'clock," said Dina.
Luna nodded in agreement. They immediately look for Maura and Alexa to take home together, but it turns out that Ethan is following.
"Ethan, you are here?" Luna was a little surprised to see her husband suddenly followed without notifying.
"I wanted to pick you up. You've been out of the house for three hours, I'm afraid," Ethan said with a peaceful smile.
The worried Luna smiled blushing, while Dina looked at the two couples who seemed to be in love with each other.
"Yes. You go home first. Mommy just is with Alexa and Maura," exclaimed Dina with a relieving smile. She knew Luna and Ethan needed time to be together.
"Yes, we go home first, Mom," said Luna.
Ethan immediately grabbed Luna's hand and took her out of the mall while carrying the item that Dina had bought.

When she got home, Luna immediately went to the room. She couldn't bear to lie down, while Ethan went straight to the kitchen to make milk. Jeez, aspiring hot daddy never forgets his routine.
After 15 minutes of lying down, Luna tried the negligee that her mother-in-law had bought her earlier. She looked at her reflection in the mirror and saying, "when it's not too big, hmm. I'm so fat."

Ethan entered the room carrying a glass of milk. He smiled when he saw Luna trying out a new dress.
"Good, you look cute," said Ethan as he approached Luna. Luna smiled brightly at her husband's praise.
"Mommy bought it," replied Luna as she took the milk from Ethan's hand and drank it.
"Buy anything earlier?" Ethan asked as he turned to look at Luna's groceries on the bed.
"Negligee, clothes, pillows, milk. I don't want it, but Mommy insists on buying it," replied Luna, who had finished her milk.
Luna sat in the chair in front of the table, she removed her make-up which wasn't too thick. Ethan walked over to Luna. looking at her in the mirror.
"Why?" asked Luna, turning her head at her husband, who was awkward to touch her, perhaps afraid that she would be angry.
"No, I just wanted to take a closer look at you," Ethan replied a little nervously.
Luna sighed, she knew, maybe Ethan was embarrassed by her because she just accepted him as a husband. Luna realizes that maybe Ethan wants his rights, but prefers to hold him because he has not been accepted as a husband.
Luna got up from her seat, dared to come over, and looked at Ethan while feeling his firm jaw.
"I'm sorry," she said
"For what, you don't have any faults?" Ethan asked. his eyes stared intently at Luna's.
"I don't give your rights. I didn't fulfill my obligation as a wife," said Luna, sounding sad. She bowed sadly because she had made Ethan wait for her and continued to be patient with her attitude.
"I know it's not easy, Luna. I won't force you. You are always beside me, accept me as your husband, I am already grateful. Letting me touch my kids is more than enough," Ethan said with a look of conviction.
Luna was touched by Ethan's words. She increasingly cursed her stupidity all this time. Sure Ethan was much better than Edward.
"Touch them all you want, you have the right. Even touch me whatever you want because you are my husband, I will sin if I reject you," said Luna sounding sad with teary eyes.
Ethan grabbed Luna's chin, looked up, and saw her cry.
"Don't cry. I won't force you. I will wait for you until you love me, as long as we don't divorce after our child is born. I'm afraid of that. Pity them if we separate," said Ethan while gently rubbing Luna's tears with his thumb.
Luna thought about what Ethan said. Even her husband feared that it was a matter of divorce, about their future children, not just their love. Luna felt more and more that Ethan was a really good husband, even as long as she felt comfortable. Luna felt that she began to love her husband.
"No, I'm not going to ask for a divorce. Forget that scary image! I love you, I feel it because I'm comfortable with you ... I feel I love you now," said Luna while hugging Ethan. She sobbed, regretting neglecting her husband, leaving her terrified of the divorce she had planned.
