This child is the crystallization that my husband and I have been looking forward to for a long time, and I feel that my heart is filled with a warm current of happiness. The thought that a child is about to come into this world makes me can't stop touching my lower abdomen with affection, as if I am gently caressing the new life in my belly.
But in an instant, my joy was replaced by a hint of apprehension. My husband has been very cold to me lately, and the intimate time between us has gradually decreased. I can't help but wonder if it will put too much pressure on him, and whether he has developed some doubts about our marriage?
My dear, I have good news for you! At dinner that day, I tentatively revealed this great joy to my husband.
The old man stared at the TV, and after hearing my words, he just reluctantly pulled the corners of his mouth and signaled: Well, what's the matter?
Seeing his unhappy appearance, I couldn't help but feel a sour feeling in my heart. It's obviously a big thing to be happy about, but my husband's lukewarm attitude really disappointed me. I held back my tears and lowered my head away from his gaze.
Just when I was puzzled, my husband's mother and mother-in-law suddenly called. She seemed to hear something in my voice, so she asked me bluntly if I was pregnant. As an experienced old man, maybe she sniffed something out of my reaction.
My mother-in-law didn't let me go, and she repeatedly asked me if I was hiding anything. Holding back my strength, I could only respond dryly: Really no, you are thinking too much.
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the line. I know my mother-in-law's suspicious nature, and she must have been skeptical of my words. Sure enough, within a few hours of hanging up, I heard the doorbell being slammed.
Who is it? I was taken aback and hurriedly opened the door. I saw my mother-in-law standing at the door with a suspicious face, followed by our eldest sister.
Why, won't you let us in?" Before I could speak, my mother-in-law stepped forward and burst in, her eyes wandering around the room.
I quickly stepped aside, and my heart began to beat wildly. What happened to my mother-in-law and my eldest sister, and if they did know that I was pregnant, how would I explain it?
Yes...... I sighed softly and unconsciously stroked my slightly bulging lower abdomen with my right hand. It's only been more than a month, and my stomach has already changed, which must be very powerful. I couldn't help but smile at the corner of my mouth, and a lively and cute little angel came to mind.
But then, my brow furrowed. There are still a lot of preparations to be made before going into labor, will my in-laws blame me because of this accident? My husband has been ignoring me lately, which really makes me uneasy.
Unexpectedly, he replied without raising his head: What is the matter?
My lips squirmed a few times, and I almost told me the good news of pregnancy, but looking at his stiff expression, I couldn't say it after all. No, it's not a big deal. I lowered my head and went back to the bedroom with some frustration.
You've been struggling lately, is there something wrong with your body?, my mother-in-law suddenly stared at me and asked.
I was shocked, and I was secretly glad that I hadn't shaken out the pregnancy yet. If my mother-in-law finds out that I am pregnant, but hides it, I am afraid that she will be furious.
It's nothing...... Maybe I've been too tired from work lately. I blinked, pretending to be light-hearted in reply.
My mother-in-law looked me up and down, but she didn't seem to notice anything, so she snorted heavily and didn't ask any further.
A week later, on the weekend, while I was still basking in the joy of decorating my little one's room, the doorbell suddenly rang.
I walked to the door and looked curiously into the cat's eyes.
You open the door, it's us!" The mother-in-law's voice came from outside the door, and through the cat's eye, I also saw the exaggerated makeup of the eldest sister.
I hesitated, but opened the door anyway.
Yo, long time no see! The eldest sister first looked me up and down, and then twisted out a grinning expression and handed over a box of moon cakes, saying that this time it was really sudden, and no gifts were prepared.
The mother-in-law walked in the door with a smile on her face: It's not that I heard that you haven't been in good health recently, so we came over to have a look, nothing else.
After my mother-in-law and eldest sister sat down, my heart suddenly became mixed. On the one hand, after all, they are family members, and I am very happy to see them; But on the other hand, they are really coming here today, and it is inevitable that I will not be nervous.
What if they find out that I'm pregnant? Will they bless us, or will they rebuke me with a few words?
However, I looked at their kind expressions, and there seemed to be nothing unusual for the time being. I smiled at them, then served fruit and tea, hoping that they would always be in such a kind state.
Seeing the familiar figures of my mother-in-law and eldest sister, my mood was indeed a little more relaxed than before. After all, they are my only relatives, and we have been friends for more than ten years.
Well, there is really nothing wrong with me recently, but the pressure is a bit high, and the mental state is not very good. I replied.
My mother-in-law patted the back of my hand kindly: "Home is a safe haven, and if you have any unhappy things, you can tell us about them."
I pursed my lips and nodded slightly, looking at their concerned gazes, I couldn't help but be a little moved. Perhaps, my inner scruples are unnecessary.
yes, you have to take care of yourself. The mother-in-law continued: I see that you seem to have gained a little weight recently, don't put too much pressure on yourself...... By the way, you're twenty-seven or eighteen this year, right?
I was nodding my head in confusion, not understanding why she suddenly mentioned my age.
Well, twenty-eight people are also time to think about it. The mother-in-law smiled mysteriously, when will you let me hug my little grandson, I am looking forward to the stars and the moon.
My heart suddenly panicked. It seems that my mother-in-law found out about my pregnancy, but she just has something to say, which makes it difficult for me. Do you want to just confess and be lenient?
Who knows, the eldest sister also interjected at this time: Hey, you two are really, why is this thing procrastinating? Look at our peers, some of them have two or three children.
She looked me up and down, and suddenly narrowed her eyes: "Could it be that you have any problems?" or let my aunt and me see it......
I waved my hand again and again, not knowing what to explain for a moment. My mother-in-law looked at me reproachfully, her brow furrowed.
Looking at the strange expressions on the faces of the two of them, my heart was even more confused. I couldn't wait for an excuse to hide in my room and think about what to do.
To say it, or not to say it? Announce the news bluntly in front of your mother-in-law and eldest sister, or continue to hide it?
My heart is at war with heaven and man. Part of me was tempted to tell the good news, which was something to be happy about, wasn't it? Will they be annoyed and angry, and will it affect my relationship with my husband?
Wife, what are you thinking? Just as I was free, my husband suddenly called out to me.
I hesitated for a while, and finally decided to speak: Husband, I ......
I've recently become pregnant, do you think we should tell my mother-in-law and aunt about this good news now?
As soon as I finished speaking, my husband's face suddenly sank and he stared at me. Why are you so ignorant! The group of people in your mother-in-law's family just love to talk a lot, and if you shake this thing out, I'm afraid that you won't want to be quiet in the future!
But that's something to be happy about...... I responded with some weakness, in a dry tone.
Well, you don't know how difficult it will be in the future! My husband waved his hand, got up and walked into the study, obviously very ashamed of this matter.
Looking at his back, I was extremely depressed. My mother-in-law and eldest sister were looking at us with a puzzled expression, and I was even more at a loss. What to do, I don't have an idea in my mind.
I was stunned, and subconsciously looked down at my lower abdomen. There is a new life there, the crystallization of my husband and me, how can I not let her see the light of day?
The mother-in-law and the eldest sister were stunned at the same time, and then their expressions were almost distorted synchronously.
Really, really, or falsely? The eldest sister reacted first, staring at me with wide eyes.
However, what I didn't expect was that the reaction of my mother-in-law and eldest sister would be so out of control.
They were surprised and delighted at first, and then they began to ask about my husband and me. My mother-in-law took me by the hand and kept asking, "What the hell did you do?" When did it happen?
The eldest sister was even more noisy, and she gushed out some red-faced words, and she was everywhere to spy on my life.
I was so frightened by their sudden madness that I could only cope dryly, trying not to answer questions that were too private. My husband saw that I was struggling, but he just frowned on the side, but he didn't have any intention of helping.
Just when I was helpless, my mother-in-law finally broke out, stood up suddenly, and pointed at us fiercely with her hands and shoes while scolding.
The eldest sister also coaxed me and began to pace morphine exaggeratedly, scolding me for being incompetent, and then reprimanding my husband for being unreasonable and arrogant.
In the end, with a heavy slam on the door from my mother-in-law, they left me and my husband alone in the room. My eyes widened, my body trembled uncontrollably, and I couldn't say a word for a long time.
In this way, my mother-in-law and eldest sister slammed the door and left, leaving only my husband and I looking at each other. There was a dead silence in the living room, and the air seemed to freeze.
Look at the trouble you've done, and now you're satisfied. After a long time, my husband gritted his teeth and said.
I lowered my head, my eyes reddening slightly. I knew I made a big mistake, but I really didn't expect it to come to this.
You don't understand anything. After my husband finished speaking, he walked away without looking back.
After that, I was so devastated that I could only talk to my parents on the phone about the conflicts and unhappiness between us as a couple.
The mother is on the other hand: although you do act impulsively, they also react too much. You have been together for so many years, they should not be so negative about your feelings.
But now it seems that my marriage with my husband is also in crisis...... I cried.
Calm down, kid. Mother said: It is inevitable that any family will have such twists and turns. As long as you work together, you will get through it. The most important thing now is to learn to understand each other.
Listening to my mother's words, my heart calmed down a little. But on second thought, it seems like I still have a long way to go to save this relationship.
Since that unhappy family dinner, my marriage with my husband seems to have a crack.
Although we still live together like that, the distance between our hearts seems to be getting farther and farther apart. Sometimes, I think back to the mood I felt when I decided to marry him, and I was so enthusiastic and happy. But now, I often fall into deep thought: has the relationship between us faded to the end, and how much does marriage still mean to us?
Many nights, I would lie alone in the dark, replaying the exaggerated and hideous faces of my mother-in-law and eldest sister in my mind, echoing their invective voices. I began to think that maybe I had really done something wrong and hurt this once happy family.
I couldn't help but regret why I didn't listen to my husband's advice in the first place and continued to hide it? However, when I thought about the little life in my belly, I felt that I had done nothing wrong. Shouldn't that be something to be happy about?
In the months that followed, the mother-in-law and the eldest sister seemed to make a fuss. They spread the story of my husband and me among their relatives and friends, and even made up some unspeakable gossip out of nothing.
I used to be such a strong and independent person, but in such a public opinion environment, I still can't help crying from time to time. When my husband saw me like this, he just said coldly: I told you a long time ago that they are such poisonous tongues.
I knew he wanted me to die, but the fingering and spitting around me was really unbearable. At first, some of our friends also pointed fingers at us. It was at that time that I realized that this dispute had seriously affected our lives.
Just when I was becoming more and more depressed and desperate, and my marriage was in jeopardy, one morning, I suddenly felt a strong rhythm of life in the toilet.
I couldn't help but be moved to tears. This little life is the purest crystallization of my husband and me, and it is the last connection between the two of us. It gave me the courage and strength to make up my mind to start afresh for our marriage.
That night, I mustered up the courage to find my husband.
Husband, regarding the previous incident, I think both of us have some mistakes. But now is not the time to point fingers, I say. We have to work together to save our feelings for ourselves, but also for the sake of the child in our womb.
My husband was silent for a long time, and I could see the struggle in his eyes. But in the end, he nodded.
Well, then give us one last chance.
He whispered. Although it was just such a simple sentence, it gave me endless hope and illuminated the darkness in my heart.
So, from that moment on, I made up my mind to make a change in order to save this dying marriage.
Also, I realized that I was too stubborn in the past. While it's good to stick to your opinions, sometimes you have to learn to accommodate each other in small things. For example, you can occasionally participate in some family activities of your in-laws, instead of blindly avoiding them as before.
Slowly, after a period of change, the atmosphere in the home finally began to warm up. My husband also saw it in his eyes and finally began to smile and affirm me. Sometimes he would even unconsciously stroke my belly. That gentle look was the most beautiful thing I ever saw in him.
In the blink of an eye, the pregnancy has entered the late stage. Although my mother-in-law and eldest sister still had a bit of a grudge against us at that time, their ways gradually softened as time went by.
One day, they came home out of the blue and saw our intimacy. The old man held my face and whispered something to me. We looked at each other, our eyes full of happiness and sweetness.
When the mother-in-law and the eldest sister saw it, they were stunned at first, then looked at each other and smiled, as if they were also moved by our affection. Since then, they have become much kinder and more friendly to me, and they are no longer as aggressive as before.
It seems that time is really the best disenchantant. As long as you are patient enough, you can finally dilute the haze left by the years.
In this way, our marital crisis finally slowly faded and was replaced by a new beginning.
With the hope of a new life, I am full of anticipation for the future. Despite the setbacks in my previous life, those difficult years still haunt me. But I believe that as long as my husband and I work together, we will eventually be able to overcome every difficulty in life.
Wife, you see, we will have to worry about our children in the future. One night, my husband suddenly whispered next to me.
I turned my head to look at him, only to see the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and his eyes sparkled with happiness. I smiled and nodded. We seem to have rediscovered our old feelings and understandings.
Yes, from now on, we will live for our children. And I will work with my husband to make this small family good and happy together.
Since I made up my mind to save my marriage, my husband and I have become more and more harmonious. It seems that we have rediscovered the warmth and sweetness of the first love.
In the dead of night, my husband would often gently hug me and whisper in my ear. Baby, you are now the greatest pride and happiness of my life. Sometimes he would even bow his head and kiss my bulging lower abdomen reverently, carefully holding the whole world in his hands.
Looking at his attentive and reverent expression, my heart always warmed. This man, on the surface, seems to be a taciturn old man, but he often surprises and touches me at critical moments. I often silently thought in my heart that it was the greatest luck of my life to be married to him.
And it was in this atmosphere that my pregnancy finally came as scheduled. Because it was too hard along the way, the doctor was worried about the safety of the fetus many times. But in the end, under their careful care, I finally gave birth to a beautiful and healthy daughter unharmed.
The birth of my daughter has undoubtedly brought a new life to my husband and me. Our new parents were both scrambling and overwhelmed at first.
Whenever the baby cries, my husband and I are always at a loss. Once, we were so anxious that we wrapped her in a quilt and braved the rain to rush to the hospital.
It turns out that this is just the ordinary physiological needs of the baby. When the nurse saw us, the elderly who were shy about the hand-holding, she carefully explained to us many skills and details of caring for the baby.
Since then, my husband and I have grown into a pair of qualified parents little by little in the sound of the baby's spitting and spitting. We learn to wipe and feed your baby with the gentlest techniques, trying to understand her smallest needs. Even if it's hard, the two of us always enjoy it.
In the days of day and night, the warm picture of a family of three gradually spread at home. Whenever the sun goes down, my husband and I sit in the yard with our baby in our arms. My husband hummed a lullaby softly, while I concentrated on feeding the baby. Sometimes the baby will suddenly laugh out loud, and the immature laughter is like the brightest sunshine in spring, warming the hearts of the three of us.
With the addition of the baby, my husband and I have become more intimate and considerate of each other. Whenever I was tired, my husband would take the initiative to share the work of feeding and nursing. Gradually, we are like two comrades-in-arms fighting side by side, supporting each other with mutual care and encouragement.
Although the arrival of the baby has brought me and my husband a new life experience, it has also brought us new challenges and pressures. As we get older, we often feel underwhelmed by our energy.
I didn't expect it to be so hard to be a father and a mother. Once, my husband said to me with a sigh.
I smiled wryly and nodded: It's not, but looking at the baby, all the hard work is worth it.
Gradually, we began to learn to understand each other and tolerate each other's little faults. For example, sometimes even when it is my turn to be on duty, but my husband sees that I am too tired, he will take the initiative to help me share the burden. Sometimes I also take the initiative to do housework for my husband to give him a chance to breathe.
In this way, we have talked and laughed through the difficulties of infancy, and the baby has finally grown up. As long as we deal with it with patience and wisdom, we can always find a suitable response. It is precisely because of each other's perseverance and refusal to give up that our small family has been able to get to where we are today.
The new stage will also bring new challenges, but I believe that as long as the three of us hold hands, there is nothing that cannot be overcome. After all, we have survived that marital crisis, so what is there to fear this time?
The future is still bright, as long as our family of three is of one heart and one mind, we will be able to move forward all the way and create a happier life together.
