Chapter 630 Emily
The baby's face was so tiny! Her skin was pink and wrinkled, with little fists clenched and her mouth slightly open.
The more Pearl looked, the more she adored her.
She remembered the day she gave birth to Christopher, the struggle to bring him into the world, only to have him taken away after a brief glance and then told he had passed away.
She was determined to raise this child herself.
"What should we call her?" Pearl asked Oscar, though she already had a name in mind.
Oscar kissed her forehead and said, "Pearl, how about our daughter takes your last name?"
"Really?" Pearl was a bit incredulous. Usually, kids took their dad's last name.
But for Oscar to suggest it now, she was quite surprised.
Oscar smiled and asked, "Really. How about Emily Harris?"
Pearl silently repeated the name and nodded. "Okay."
Then she thought of Christopher and said, "I never asked about Christopher's name. Was it you or your father who chose it?"
As she asked, Pearl sighed softly, "Is it too late to ask now?"
"It's never too late. You never gave up looking for him, and you didn't believe I was dead. You've worked so hard these past years, especially since we returned to Willow Creek, always taking care of us," Oscar said, feeling Pearl's pain and knowing all she had done.
When Pearl came out of the delivery room and was moved to the ward, RavenWing was already waiting with Christopher.
The moment he saw his granddaughter, RavenWing's heart couldn't stop trembling.
It had been many years since he had held such a small baby.
When RavenWing held the baby in his arms, he was so careful, his voice trembling, "This is my granddaughter. Have you named her? If not..."
RavenWing had thought of several names.
Oscar said, "Emily Harris."
"Taking Pearl's last name?" RavenWing was a bit surprised.
Oscar nodded.
Pearl's name was given by Evans. But then again, if Evans hadn't adopted Pearl and raised her, how could she have reunited with RavenWing?
"That's good." RavenWing smiled and said, "Louis and Jimena will be here tonight."
They had already informed Louis and Jimena that Pearl was due to give birth, but Louis had to take care of Eldorians' affairs, so they were only now on their way.
Unexpectedly, Pearl gave birth today. Louis and Jimena were on the plane and couldn't be reached.
"Get some rest, I'll take care of Emily." RavenWing thought of taking Emily to another ward so Pearl could rest well. After all, giving birth was exhausting.
But Pearl didn't want to be separated from Emily.
"Dad, it's okay. She just got born and won't make much noise. Besides, I didn't get to take care of Christopher, and now with Emily, I want to do it myself. Oscar and I have been too busy to take care of Christopher, so we'll need your help with him."
Hearing this, RavenWing gently placed Emily beside Pearl.
Pearl held Emily close, her eyes full of tenderness.
"Don't worry about it. Christopher is my grandson. I'm here to spend more time with him. You take care of yourself. If you need anything, just ask the servants or Oscar. Leave Christopher to me," RavenWing assured Pearl.
Christopher walked to the bedside, leaning on the railing, gently stroking Emily's cheek.
"Mom, Emily is so small." That was Christopher's first impression.
Emily was still sleeping, her eyes closed.
Pearl felt incredibly happy and said, "Newborns are very small. Christopher, even though I gave birth to Emily, I still love you just the same."
Christopher nodded. "I know, Mom. I understand everything between you and Dad. Don't worry about me."
Before Pearl got pregnant, she had asked for Christopher's consent.
Despite his young age, Christopher was more mature and sensible than his peers.
Hearing Christopher say this, Pearl felt warmth and heartache at the same time.
She reached out to stroke Christopher's head. "You are also Mommy's treasure."
"And Daddy's treasure too," Oscar said, walking up behind Christopher.
Apart from school, Christopher spent all his time by Pearl's side.
Evans, Kittie, and RavenWing prepared a variety of dishes for Pearl every day.
Jimena and Louis were so fond of the newborn Emily, making the whole ward feel warm and cozy.
Jimena took the opportunity to get a check-up at the hospital.
She and Louis had been married for a long time, not deliberately avoiding pregnancy, but still hadn't conceived. RavenWing had never pressured them.
Although Eldorians had doctors and RavenWing was skilled in medicine, Jimena felt embarrassed to bring it up.
Now at the hospital, Jimena could see a doctor. After all, she also wanted to have a child with Louis.
The doctor, knowing Jimena was getting checked for pregnancy and was married, told her honestly, "Having a child isn't just up to the woman. If you haven't been married long, just try to conceive naturally. If you're worried, of course, both of you should get checked."
Worried about Louis's reaction, Jimena hadn't mentioned it to him yet, but Louis appeared before she could.
Louis put his arm around her shoulder, facing the doctor. "Doctor, please give me a check-up form too."
Jimena was stunned; Louis was willing to accompany her for the check-up, even though she hadn't told him beforehand. At that moment, Jimena didn't know how to describe her feelings.
Holding the check-up form, Louis led her out and said, "From now on, make decisions with me. We're a couple, you know? And for something like this, of course, we both need to get checked."
