When James returned to the ward, Dax had finished drinking milk. At this time, he was lying beside Elizabeth and sleeping.
He was breathing shallowly and looked so adorable.
"Is he asleep?"
Elizabeth was engrossed in staring at the child. When she heard James's voice, she immediately made a gesture to let him stop talking and said in a low voice, "Sh, keep your voice down. Don't wake him up."
James curled his lips, "He is sleeping so soundly. How could he be waken up so easily?" He drank milk so happily just now!
"Anyway, it's right for you to keep your voice down."
"Honey, don't worry. He is my son, so he is not delicate. Even if there is thunderstruck, he will sleep well."
Elizabeth looked at him speechlessly and said, "Where did you go? Why do you come back after such a long time?"
"I went out to make a phone call."
"Oh." Elizabeth nodded and then said softly,
"Look at him. He is sleeping soundly."
James raised his eyebrows, "Yeah." He had just drunken milk and he was full, so of course he could sleep well.
"Do you think it's amazing?" Elizabeth said with a smile, "He was in my belly before, and now he lies besides me. He is so small and looks so lovely."
"It's quite amazing." James went forward and bent over to look at Dax, "He has been born for hours, but I feel like I'm dreaming."
In the past, he didn't reject marriage, but he didn't like children. He felt that children were noisy and naughty, and he thought they were troublesome.
Later, he got married and had a child. All these happened in a year. It seemed that plans could not keep up with changes.
"Me too." Elizabeth nodded, "Besides, when I look at him, I feel very happy. However, I can't get used to this sudden change. He was moving in my belly before, but now I can look at him, hug him, and see all his little movements."
Life was always so magical.
She had never thought about having a child at such a young age before, but it was not because she didn't like children. She always felt that it would not be too late for her to have a child after she graduated and worked for a few more years. At that time, she would be maturer and her career would be stabler.
But... she was married when she was in college, and gave birth to a baby before graduation. These things were like the plots that only existed in TV dramas.
"That's right. However, I hope he could be more obedient. He was naught when he was in your belly. I hope he won't be so mischievous in the future."
"It's normal for children to be naughty, isn't it? Jane once said that naughty and boisterous children are smarter."
"My son is definitely smart!"
Elizabeth couldn't help laughing. "You are really... not modest at all!"
"Why should I be modest? Am I wrong?" Saying this, he touched Dax's nose, "Although your mom is a bit stupid sometimes..."
Before he could finish his words, Elizabeth glared at him, "You are stupid!"
"I know, but I just can't fall asleep. What can I do?" After that, Elizabeth pulled James's arm gently, "I'll sleep later, okay?"
"Alright."
James put Dax beside Elizabeth. He sat on the edge of the bed, holding Elizabeth's hand with one hand and touching Dax's face with the other, "Although I feel that it's amazing, honey, I'm so delighted. Look at him. His lips are like yours and his nose is like mine. When I see him, I can't help but think that he is the child of us, and I feel warm in my heart just by thinking about it. I feel that I've really owned everything."
"Yep." Elizabeth smiled and said, "You know that I thought a lot in the past. Later, I was hesitant and didn't know if I should have a child. However, after I got pregnant, I felt that what I did for him was worthwhile. Even if I can't get my diploma in the future, I might not think that it is a pity."
"No pains, no gains. Something used to be very important to me in the past, but as time went by, my state of mind has changed, and I longer think that it's so important. Of course, I will study hard and strive to get the diploma." "Mm, as long as you're happy. However, even if you want to get it, you have to wait until you're in better health. At least you have to rest for half a year."
"Let's talk about it in the future. I don't want to think about anything now. I just want to stay with him. However, I didn't understand what a perfect life was before. Now I seem to understand."
Having a family, a lover, and a child, and living a stable life was perhaps the best life, wasn't it?
James smiled, "It's not late to understand it now. However, thank you, honey." She gave him a different life.
"Thank you, too. However, you have to be good to me and Dax in the future."
"Fool! That's for sure."
"I just said it casually. Do you think you can be bad to me?"
"Sleep with Dax first. I'll be here with you two, okay?"
