A Love Trap

Andrew frowned. He had never been around children, so he had no idea how to get along with them or what to say to them.

However, looking at Ashley's expression, he could tell that she was serious.

Andrew opened his mouth to contradict Ashley when—

"Owwww!" Ashley suddenly screamed, laying a hand over her belly.

"What's wrong?" A hint of nervousness flashed across Andrew's eyes as he asked anxiously, "Ash, are you okay?

I'll take you to the hospital." He swept her up into his arms and started heading for the door to take her to the hospital.

"No, Andy. Please put me down first." Ashley stopped him by putting her hand on his cheek gently.

"But... the baby..."

"It's fine. It's just the baby moving inside my belly. Don't worry,"

Ashley interrupted him before he could finish his words.

Then, she took one of his hands and placed it on her belly.

"I'm really fine, Andy. See for yourself. Do you feel that? That's the baby moving."

Ashley had experienced the same thing while she was pregnant with Fabio and Dany. However, the movement of the fetus just now was quite sudden, which made her unable to control her emotions.

Her surprise made her cry out.

In retrospect, her reaction was quite amusing.

"Are you sure?" Andrew looked down at her belly and asked with doubt in his tone.

It was like he was glaring at an enemy and not at his own baby.

"I'm really fine. If you don't believe me, you can touch it.

Hush, love, don't say anything."

Ashley once again placed his hand on her belly, and the two of them kept silent.

The baby in Ashley's belly moved again. Andrew felt it and quickly withdrew his hand, somewhat frightened.

He looked at Ashley's belly in surprise. It was rare to see him show such an expression.

-- Andrew looked up at Ashley's eyes and failed to form a complete sentence.

"That's our baby moving! It's saying hi to us. See, I'm fine. Do you believe me now?" Ashley smiled reassuringly at Andrew.

Andrew nodded.

Suddenly, a thought occurred to him. He frowned and looked at Ashley's belly. "If the baby keeps moving like this all the time, then how can you sleep?"

The baby probably not only moved while Ashley was sleeping, but also when she was doing other things. How could she manage to get any rest?

Ashley giggled. "Do you think that the baby moves like that all the time? No, the baby also needs sleep. When we go to bed, it also sleeps soundly in my belly."
