FULL NOVELXO Chapter 1161
"Mom, Dad says I'm going to have a baby sister," Orion said as he hugged Nina as soon as she stepped out of the prenatal exam room. His excitement was contagious, and Nina couldn't help but feel overjoyed.
A son and now a daughter-what more could she ask for?
"Are you happy, Mom?" Orion looked up at her with his hopeful face.
Nina nodded, smiling warmly. "I've always wanted a daughter, so of course I'm happy."
"That's awesome!" Orion cheered, but then suddenly paused, "I want to get her a present. Mom, can we go shopping later?"
Nina had already been thinking about preparing for the baby, so she readily agreed. She was planning to get some essentials like clothes and a hospital bag. She took Orion's hand and nodded, and his excitement grew even more. To make things easier, Nash asked Caleb to prepare a wheelchair, and the whole family headed to a shopping district.
Their first stop was a baby store, filled with all kinds of adorable items, so many that it was hard to choose. Nina admired everything and each piece seemed cuter than the last, making it impossible to decide.
"You don't need to buy too many clothes. Babies grow fast, so just a few outfits for now should be fine," Nash, with some experience, quietly suggested.
Nina picked up a tiny hat, smiling as she handed it to Nash. "It's so small and cute."
"Yeah, if you like it, let's get a few," Nash replied, grabbing three or four more hats before pointing toward the clothing section. "Let's take a look over there, too."
Nina, unsure of what to buy, nodded and followed his lead.
Meanwhile, Orion was busy picking out a gift for his future sister. He picked up one thing, then another, but nothing seemed right. Suddenly, a small, lifelike stuffed toy caught his eye. He ran over and grabbed it. "This is the one." Pharaoh, smiling, nodded in approval. "Yes, that one works."
"When it comes to gifts, what
matters most is the giver's intention,
not whether the recipient will like it-especially with a baby too young to play with stuffed toys," Pharaoh silent remarked to himself but
decided not to mention that, letting Orion choose what he wanted.
The two of them, satisfied with their pick, joined Nina and Nash, who were now in the shoes and socks section.
"Whoa, Mom, are you planning to buy the whole store?" Orion exclaimed, noticing the two shopping carts already piled high, with Nash holding even more items in his arms.
Nina chuckled, giving Nash a look. "It's not me buying everything. It's your dad."
Nash, who had just advised buying a few things, now had nearly bought out the store. He smiled blissfully and, after asking the store clerk for another shopping cart, defended himself. "It's my first time shopping for my daughter. I might have gone a little overboard, but it's fine. I can afford it."
"Is money the issue here?" Pharaoh shook his head.
Babies grow so fast that most of these clothes would be outgrown
before they would even had a
chance to be worn. But no one said anything, as they all shared in
Nash's happiness. Orion, eager to help, jumped in and picked out a few pairs of soft, cute baby shoes.
Seeing his dad selecting socks, Orion followed suit and picked out four or five pairs himself. "Only the best for my sister, right, Dad?" "Exactly. Just like we love your mom, we'll love your sister, and they both deserve the best," Nash said, ruffling Orion's hair, clearly proud.
A son and a daughter-an intelligent and caring son, and soon, a beautiful and beloved daughter. What more could a man ask for?
As they left the mall, they passed a bubble tea shop where two girls were arguing over a drink, each insisting the other should take the extra sip. Unable to agree, they finally decided to just buy another cup.
