The news of Pierre's retirement offered Selena the solace she had been seeking, and that rendered her tantrum pointless.

A week later, she was discharged from the hospital, and life seemed to have gone back to normal.

It was a quiet night when Pierre pressed his right ear against Selena's baby bump, waiting patiently for even the slightest of fetal movement. However, the baby was adamant about staying still. Growing tired of being in that position, Pierre finally sat up and gave up on the waiting.

"What's wrong with the baby?"

"There's nothing wrong with the baby. Maybe he just doesn't like you," Selena teased, then quirked her lips in amusement.

The three musketeers had also taken a liking to listening for fetal movements. Jameson, for one, had dashed over to Selena and was gently caressing the baby bump while saying, "Hello, baby. It's Jamie here. Did you miss me?"

The baby quickened, and the movement could be seen beneath the skin of Selena's belly.

Delighted, Jameson let out a laugh as he exclaimed, "The baby misses me! The baby misses me!"

Juniper, on the other hand, whispered, "Baby, it's me, your sister. I promise we'll have a lot of fun together when you come out."

The baby moved as soon as she was done speaking, and she squealed happily. "It moved! It moved! The baby heard what I said!"
