"I feel so honored to be the first one you shared this good news with," Justin said. He smiled faintly and continued, "Asher, I genuinely wish you and Arnold a lifetime of happiness together."

said reassuringly. "If you don't want to breastfeed, we'll just use formula milk. From now on, I'll take care of the diaper changes, bottle feeding, and putting the baby to sleep. You don't have to lift a finger! And when the baby's a little older, we'll hire a nanny. The nanny can take care of
