The More the Merrier

Chapter 1056 Pregnant For The Second Time

Benjamin fed Arissa patiently and occasionally wiped the corners of her mouth with a napkin.

Arissa asked softly, "Do you want to eat some first?"

Benjamin continued to feed her. "I'll eat once you're done."

Arissa said nothing more and ate her breakfast seriously, while the children and Bradley had a lively breakfast.

When Arissa had eaten enough, Benjamin finally had some.

"Bradley, take them back. There's nothing fun here at the hospital," Arissa instructed Bradley after breakfast.

"Mommy, we're going to see Grandpa later!" Jasper hurriedly said to her.

Gavin also nodded. "Mommy, we'll go to Grandpa's in a bit."

Arissa reminded them, "Okay, but don't make noise over there and disturb Grandpa's rest!"

"We know, Mommy." Zachary nodded.

"I want to stay here with Mommy a little longer!" Jesse said in her piping voice, leaning against the bed.

Oliver also leaned over. "It's still early, Mommy. Let us stay with you a little longer!"

Arissa smiled and nodded, and the little ones were very happy.

"Mommy, lie down. We promise we won't disturb you!" Tim said, his eyes fixed on Arissa.

Arissa's heart softened. "All right. You guys can stay a little while more before going to Grandpa's. If Grandpa asks about me, don't tell him I'm in the hospital. And keep this from your great-grandaunt as well. I don't want to make them worry."

"Mommy, we promise we won't say anything!"

The children nodded in unison and kept their promise of behaving themselves, showing concern for Arissa.

Benjamin called the doctor to examine Arissa, and after a thorough check-up, the doctor concluded that her condition was much better than the day before.

However, Arissa still needed to receive IV fluids to protect the fetus. The children and Bradley couldn't help wrinkling their faces when they saw Arissa receiving an injection.

Benjamin's brows furrowed as if he was the one getting the injection, and he felt sorry for Arissa.

When Arissa looked up, she saw that they all had expressions of concern for her. She smiled and comforted them in a soft voice, "The nurse is very skilled at giving injections. I didn't feel any pain at all!" Arissa wasn't just comforting them. She truly didn't feel any pain today.

The nurse blushed when she was praised. "Take care and call us if you feel sick."

Arissa nodded and thanked the nurse.

The doctor checked on Arissa's condition and then left with the others.

It was then Shaun and Jonathan came in. Shaun studied Arissa and asked, "How do you feel today?"

"Much better," Arissa replied.

Shaun came forward and took her pulse.

Jonathan walked up to Benjamin. "What happened to her?"

Shaun looked at Jonathan with amusement and then glanced at Benjamin, who was staring nervously at them. "The fetal signs are much more stable now!"

Benjamin let out a sigh of relief. Although the doctor had already examined Arissa, hearing it from Shaun made him feel truly reassured.

"Mommy, you're okay now!" the little ones cheered.

Bradley felt relieved as well. As long as Boss and the baby are okay, everything is going to be fine.

Looking at Benjamin, Jonathan said with a hint of envy, "Benjamin, your speed... She's already pregnant for the second time."

"Haha! Benjamin's speed is not something everyone can catch up to. Now, what we need to do is keep it from those old men, so we won't be pressured to get married!" joked Shaun. Arissa was thoroughly amused.

Benjamin looked at Jonathan and said, "Let's talk outside."

Jonathan suddenly remembered the business at hand and quickly followed Benjamin out. He had almost forgotten about it because of Arissa's pregnancy.
