Chapter 913 Filled with Beautiful Expectations
"Working here for three years, it's definitely hard to leave," Juniper nodded. "But every stage of life has different tasks. Right now, the most important thing for me is to take good care of the baby and ensure a safe delivery."
"It will be fine."
Anthony was driving.
Juniper looked back and thought to herself, 'I will come back.'
Juniper started focusing on her prenatal care at home.
Around six in the evening.
Anthony came home, "Honey, I'm back."
"Honey, guess what this is?" Juniper excitedly ran over with an iPad.
Anthony quickly put an arm around her waist, "My dear, slow down, be careful with your belly."
"It's so boring at home. I spent the whole afternoon looking at different classes. Look, baking class, Japanese cuisine class, flower arranging class, and yoga class."
Anthony took off his coat and held her on the sofa, "Which one do you like?"
"I like them all. I plan to take all of them."
That was just like her, never able to stay idle.
Anthony shook his head, "So many, can you handle it?"
"It's not much, just four classes. Baking on Monday, flower arranging on Tuesday, Japanese cuisine on Wednesday, and yoga on Friday. Four classes a week, just right."
"Sounds good."
"What do you mean 'sounds good'? It's obviously great," Juniper said proudly, patting her chest. "After all, who picked them out personally?"
Anthony kissed her on the lips, "Yes, yes, my wife has the best taste, otherwise, how would she have picked me?"
"Haha, are you complimenting me or yourself?"
"Both, it doesn't matter."
"You're so narcissistic."
"By the way, Mom came over today and brought a lot of supplements. Look, the table is full. You bought so many yesterday, I feel like even if I were pregnant ten times, I couldn't finish all of this," Juniper exaggeratedly gestured with her arms.
"If you can't finish, just pick the most important ones to eat."
"Okay, that's what I was thinking too. But when Mom asks, you can't sell me out. Just say I ate them all."
"Okay, honey, no problem, honey, as you wish, honey."
"Good boy." Juniper patted his face like petting a cute puppy.
Another month passed, and Juniper was busy with various classes, enjoying herself immensely.
She gained ten pounds in a short time, becoming more rounded and glowing.
A yoga mat was laid out in the living room, and Juniper was on all fours, arching her back.
"Honey, what are you doing?"
"Can't you see I'm doing yoga?" Juniper breathed evenly.
"What pose is this?"
"Cat stretch, it's good for the back."
"It looks like..."
"What?"
"Nothing, you go ahead." Anthony sat on the sofa with a book, but his eyes kept drifting to her hips, his throat dry.
After a while, Juniper finished her exercise and walked over.
Slightly sweaty, her face was flushed, looking particularly rosy.
Anthony's throat tightened, "Honey..."
Juniper had just taken a sip of water and turned her head when his lips suddenly covered hers.
Her breath hitched.
This kiss was not a brief one.
She was kissed until her breathing became erratic.
"Anthony..."
Juniper gently pushed him with her small hand before losing her mind, "I-I'm pregnant."
Anthony finally pulled away, his breathing gradually calming, "Sorry, your exercise pose just now, I couldn't help myself."
"I was just doing yoga properly."
"But I wasn't proper. Your body is too good, I can't help but have wild thoughts." Anthony's cheeks were flushed from the kiss.
"You're such a jerk." Juniper was a bit exasperated, "Then I won't do yoga in front of you anymore."
"No, it's beautiful, do it for me." Anthony quickly requested.
"Aren't you afraid you'll suffer?"
Although Anthony looked gentle, he actually had quite a high demand in that area. Juniper couldn't bear to see him "suffer."
"I want to see it even if I suffer."
"Then I feel very dangerous."
"Don't worry, the doctor specifically instructed that there should be no sexual activity during pregnancy. I won't risk our baby."
"Honey, you're so good, I'm really touched."
Anthony gave an evil smile, "Don't praise me too soon. Although we can't do it, there's no rule against kissing, right? Let me kiss you enough."
Juniper responded with a laugh, "Won't that still make you suffer?"
"I'll enjoy it." Anthony said, biting her lip.
Winter passed, the weather gradually warmed, and Juniper's belly grew bigger day by day.
By the fifth month, her belly was round and large, making walking a bit difficult.
She stopped attending the various classes and stayed home almost every day.
Anthony also turned down most of his work to spend more time with her, cooking for her and taking walks together.
One evening, the sky was filled with beautiful pink clouds.
The two of them were taking a slow walk around the neighborhood lake.
"We've been walking for ten minutes, let's stop and rest," Anthony said, wiping her sweat.
"It's only five months and it's already this heavy. What will I do later?" Juniper shook her head helplessly, looking at her belly.
"But luckily, the baby is well-behaved. Although heavy, it hasn't tormented me. Do you think with my belly this big, I'll give birth to a chubby baby?"
Anthony thought seriously for a moment and said, "With our genes, the chances of a chubby baby are slim."
"What if there's a genetic mutation?"
Anthony chuckled, "What goes on in that little head of yours every day?"
"Thinking about you, thinking about the baby."
"Thinking about food, more like. Yesterday, when I didn't let you eat fries, you cried. Said I didn't love you because I wouldn't buy you fries."
"Pregnancy hormones, not my fault. I've been craving a lot lately, wanting to eat everything I see. I used to think pregnant women didn't need to diet and could eat whatever they wanted. Turns out I was too naive. This can't be eaten, that isn't good for the baby. Honestly, I feel like I can't eat anything but nutritious meals."
"I know it's been hard for you to hold back. Once the baby is born, you can eat whatever you want."
"Don't try to fool me. After the baby is born, I'll still have to breastfeed and control my diet for a year. It's not that easy. But as long as it's for the baby's good, it's all worth it."
Juniper smiled happily, the maternal glow on her face making her look exceptionally beautiful and radiant.
"Our baby will definitely be the cutest baby in the world." Anthony held her in his arms.
The two of them looked out at the distant sunset, filled with beautiful expectations.
