"Yes, ma'am! The most important thing is, we have now heard from Rena that she is fine. Now it's just a matter of keeping Rena from being like this again. Don't feel guilty, okay?"

Two months have passed, and now Alvin and May are confused by strange mornings. May suddenly hug Alvin's body very tightly and made it hard for her husband to breathe. Finally causing Alvin to wake up from his deep sleep. While blinking his eyes and slowly opening his eyes, Alvin was surprised by May who was very close in front of him.
"May..."
"Good morning Alvin!" said May then now hugged Alvin tightly again May even kiss Alvin's face with exasperation.
"May it's still early, and I haven't brushed my teeth yet. Smells May smells drool," Alvin said while covering his mouth. He didn't want May to smell a bad odor from his mouth this morning.
"Relax Alvin! You always smell good. Even your armpits smell good!" May said, sticking closer to Alvin.
Alvin was rendered speechless by May's behavior, which had been very strange this past week.
May often hug Alvin all of a sudden even when Alvin just got home from work. By the time she was going to sleep, May was also very happy to kiss his armpits. This strange habit has been going on for a week now.
This only made Alvin even more curious. What's wrong with his wife? This isn't an ordinary May. May loves cleanliness. Previously, even before Alvin took a shower, May would never want to be hugged.
But now it's not asked by May who likes to stick to Alvin, and strangely May said, she likes it when Alvin sweats.
"Honey..." Alvin called softly.
"Yes, Alvin?" May immediately be replied with a happy face and a big smile. looks fuller too now when viewed in more detail.
"May, are you not feeling well? Why does it seem different, May's behavior as usual."
May be looked at Alvin for a long time. She then shook her head in disbelief.
"I don't know either. What I know now is that I like to smell Alvin's sweat. It's weird too. Usually, I wouldn't like it if Alvin hasn't taken a shower. Now I like it."
Again, May hugged Alvin without shame. Usually, May is very shy. Now she feels even more aggressive.
"You don't have a fever anymore, do you, May?" asked Alvin when testing May's body heat on her forehead.
Then May was also tested by Alvin on her head, maybe she was hit by an impact that made his wife experience this kind of strange thing.
"You didn't hit your head, did you, May? Or did you fall on campus? You haven't changed, have you? Or are you the reincarnation of someone who entered May's body?"
This ridiculous statement made May laugh out loud. Her husband is so strange. He said something that was completely beyond human reason. But that's fine too.
"You are Alvin. Don't read too many reincarnation comics. You're old dear... You should read more about religion," May laughed so hard that she even held her stomach.
Seeing this, Alvin became even more curious. Actually, what is now May experiencing?
"Try anything that you think is weird. Maybe because of diet? Or because of what I try to remember!" asked Alvin who immediately wanted to find an answer.
"Hmm, actually May has only passed a week before her period. But I'm afraid to check."
Alvin immediately woke up from sleep. He was completely shocked by that.
"I forgot that we're in the middle of a pregnancy program, May. Oh my gosh! Looks like you already have Alvin Junior in your stomach. Let's check it, shall we? We'll go to the hospital right away. I want it to be immediately accurate."
May smiled and nodded at Alvin. She was happy with Alvin's remarks about her coming late last month.
"Hopefully it's the best for us. I want to have children. But if it's not good for us, then don't do it yet. But if it's good for us, then hopefully it will be granted soon."
Alvin nodded. "I also always pray like that. So that we are given the best by God. We as servants can only pray. May God always hear and answer our prayers."
May sat back down and hugged Alvin tightly. They both laughed at Mau's behavior which had changed drastically.
It was the weekend, so Alvin freely took his wife to the obstetrician. They check themselves. It didn't take long for the results to come out.
"Congratulations, you are going to be parents. Mrs. May is 3 weeks pregnant. Please take good care of the baby. In the first trimester, you have to have full bed rest. Don't get tired! Moreover, Mrs. May's womb is prone to miscarriage. We have provided fetal boosters. But of course, The drug cannot be given continuously because it will have side effects on the fetus. So there must also be aware from you to keep the womb stable and not miscarry."
The doctor's explanation once again made May remember the past when she was sentenced to have a weak uterus.
That means that the fetus that May is currently carrying, whether it will survive or not, is God's will. It would be a miracle if May could carry this child for up to 9 months and bring their baby to become a human on earth.
"Okay, doc. We will try our best. I will continue to consult with the doctor. Please continue to help me to maintain this fetus, OK, Doc," May's words were much more mature than the last time they saw the same doctor. This made Alvin smile with relief. May can be this adult now.
"Of course. I'm optimistic if the mother is optimistic and maintains inner peace. Because the mother's psychology will far influence the growth and development of the fetus. Don't get stressed, ma'am."
May nodded. They know that things are not clear going forward. But for now, May is determined to continue to maintain her fetus.
They left the doctor's room and now headed back to the gazebo that they used to live in near the clinic canteen.
"I'm happy. We will have children soon," May said, smiling broadly. But after that, the woman shed tears. Alvin immediately hugged him.
"Listen, May! You shouldn't be stressed or depressed. Everything. We'll just live with it like running water, okay? Don't think about many things! Just think that our child is a gift that we have to take care of until God takes it from us again. All because of nature, May. Only we first know that the risk is greater. Then we will try to do it as much as possible. Don't be sad, OK?"
May nodded. "We will try everything as much as possible. You can survive with your mother, OK?"
They hugged and strengthened each other. Again, the exam will be passed together in the future.
