    Before Barbara had time to speak, Emily raised her index finger like a student wanting to ask permission from the teacher.


    “Auntie, can you give me a little sister? | promise | won''t cry if it turns. out your child is also a boy. But, can you try? Maybe there


    are rules to nting baby sisters. How deep should they be put or how much should they be watered? Like Grandma Susan


    nting nts in the greenhouse.”


    Everyoneughed amusedly at Emily’s request. Barbara was at a loss. for words. Her cheeks flushed red with embarrassment.


    “Little Bee,” Kara stroked Emily''s cheek, “we can’t arrange it like that.


    It''s fate from God.”


    “Can''t it be done?” Emily shook her head slightly.


    “No, Love.”


    Before the little girl’s shoulders slumped again, Barbara ced a hand on the side of her mouth. “Shhh, Emily.... Actually, | also


    hope that my child is a girl. How about we pray together? Who knows, God will grant it. But if it doesn’te true, don’t be


    disappointed.”


    Emily’s eyes lit up with hope. “Yeah! | won’t be disappointed, Auntie. Let’s pray togetherter.”


    “Okay.” Barbara gave her thumbs up. Emily responded with her tiny thumb.


    “So, is it true that Auntie is pregnant? That’s what you want to announce, right?” Louis blinked at Philip.


    Philip smiled faintly. Putting an arm around his wife’s waist, he nodded. “Yes, Barbara just had a test pack this morning. The


    results


    1/5


    were positive.”

    Mnie widened her eyes. She brought her seat forward so that her body almost touched the table. “My daughter is really


    pregnant?


    Soon, she will also give me a grandchild?”


    Barbara nodded slightly. “Yes, Mom. Soon, there will be another


    person who calls you Grandma and calls me Mommy.”


    Mnie got up from her chair. She circled halfway around the table, stopping at Barbara’s side, hugging her. “Congrattions,


    My Daughter. You will finally be a mother. Be healthy, okay?”


    Barbara patted Mnie’s arm with her eyes closed. “Thank you, Mom. Later, please teach me how to be a mother.”


    “You don’t need to learn, Darling. You''ll understand it yourself instinctively.” Mnie patted her cheek.


    Barbara frowned with pursed lips. “I can’t possibly take care of a baby without learning, Mom. | don’t even know how to hold it.”


    “You''ll get used to it. You just need to practice,” Mnie still insisted on refusing to teach.


    “How about | buy a baby doll for Auntie? Auntie can practice with it.” Emily nodded reassuringly.


    “And | can buy pacifiers and other supplies.” Louis raised a hand next to his head. “Auntie can practice as much as she likes.”


    Barbaraughed faintly. “You’re very kind, Emily, Louis. But no. I''ll just borrow Russell to practice.”


    “No!” The twins looked displeased. Everyoneughed seeing their


    response.


    “So, what are your ns next? Do you intend to hold a gender reveal too?” Frank inquired casually.

    Philip and Barbara exchanged nces. While holding hands, they


    smiled.


    “We n to announce it at Louis and Emily’s birthday party.”


    “Our birthday party? Why? Auntie should be holding her own event,” Louis said, scratching his temple.


    “Louis is right. It was a special moment for Aunt and Uncle Philip. It won’t be special because it coincides with our birthday.”


    The curve of Barbara’s lips became even more mysterious. “In fact, it would actually be very special. Just think of the gender


    reveal as a beautiful gift from us to you. If our child was a girl, Emily would be happy, right?”


    Emily quickly nodded. “Yes! | would be very grateful if Auntie’s child was a girl. She could apany me to yter. But if it


    was a boy, | would still be happy. | won’t cry anymore,” she nodded firmly.


    “If our child is a boy, consider it a bonus for Louis. You were hoping. for a little brother, right?”


    Louis’ cheeks puffed up. His lips pursed. “I already have Russell and Orion, Auntie. So, | hope that your child is a girl. That way,


    Emily won''t


    be alone.”


    Everyone was amazed by Louis’ wise answer. The boy seemed so caring and understanding. Even Emily gave him a small


    smile.Content held by N?velDrama.Org.


    “Thank you, Louis.”


    “You''re wee, Emily. Later, may | join you and Aunt in prayer?”


    Emily nodded firmly. “Of course you can.”


    Still with a sweet smile, Louis turned back to Barbara and Philip. “But if your child is a boy, | will still be happy. My troops will


    increase. We can strengthen the fortificationster.”

    The young coupleughed excitedly. “So, you guys agree that it could be a gift for your birthday?”


    The twins nodded cheerfully.


    “Yeah, | can’t wait to have my birthday soon. | hope two months isn’t too long.”


    “Two months can seem short if we fill it with a busy schedule, Louis. How about we join Auntie in learning to care for baby? We


    also have to practice so thatter we can help Mommy take care of Russell properly.”


    Louis nodded enthusiastically. “Good idea, Emily. Let’s practice being good big brother and sister.”


    With so many activities, two months passed in a sh for the twins. On their birthday, they were the busiest people there.


    “Wee, Sir. Wee, Madam.”


    “Please enjoy the dishes.”


    “Thank you for your presence. We are happy that you are willing to attend our birthday party.”
