Chapter 7 - The Twin Baby
Four months passed, Luna's womb began to grow. It even looks bigger than usual. She was still rude to Ethan, even though Ethan was nice to her. Every day, Ethan prepared milk for her, pampering her every time without complaining. Even though Luna asked a strange question, Ethan still obeyed.
Ethan hoped before Luna gave birth, Luna can accept him as her beloved husband. So far they have the status of husband and wife but have never had a relationship like a husband and a wife. Even though they slept in the same bed, it didn't make them do that anymore because of Ethan's awkwardness, and Luna still didn't love Ethan.
Although, Luna acted nonchalantly. Ethan's presence also made her feel comfortable. Always wanted to be near him. Maybe because of the influence of the baby in the womb who always wants father's love. Luna often acts casually, her spoiled but nonchalant demeanor tested Ethan's patience. Besides that, secretly Edward still often comes to visit pretending to be friendly, even though he wants to see Luna's condition, because Edward still hopes for Luna, even though he already has Viona. However, Viona's arrogant attitude made Edward even more uncomfortable, and wanted a divorce.

In the morning, Luna is reading the magazine she just bought yesterday when she went to the mall with Ethan. Meanwhile, Ethan accompanied her by drinking a cup of tea while reading the newspaper.
Luna's eyes widened after reading the magazine article that quoted her.
A beautiful model who recently became famous and married now has an enlarged stomach. Reportedly, Luna was pregnant before marriage.
Luna threw the magazine on the table with an angry look. Ethan who was focused on reading the newspaper was a little surprised and scowled at his angry wife.
"Why was it thrown?" Ethan asked as he picked up the magazine.
"All this because of you. After this I will be labeled bad by people, even my fans!" replied Luna with a high tone staring at Ethan angrily. For her, Ethan was the source of the problem. Maybe if Ethan doesn't get her pregnant. Maybe she's still a model and even more famous.
"That's right! Don't regret it." Ethan said after reading the article.
"It's good for you to say that. I'm embarrassed, Ethan!!" said Luna in a high voice and immediately left Ethan alone
Luna walked through the stairs to her room. Then she saw her reflection in the large mirror in her room, "My stomach is big. Like seven months pregnancy. Even though it's only five months," muttered Luna as she continued to watch her stomach.
Ethan opened the door to the room and saw Luna in the mirror then looked at her.
"My stomach is too big. Don't you feel strange?" Luna asked, staring at Ethan who was still at the door.
"It's strange. Pregnant must have a bloated belly," replied Ethan as he walked over to Luna and stared at Luna's big belly.
"It's like seven months old. And the baby's movements are too strong," said Luna after feeling the kick from inside her stomach that she began to feel.
"Can I hold your stomach?" Ethan asked. She wanted to feel her baby's movements. The reason is, so far Luna has never allowed Ethan to touch her enlarged stomach.
"Emmm, yes. But not too long. I'm amused," replied Luna doubtfully. Ethan nodded and immediately looked down to touch Luna's stomach with his palm.
Ethan smiled on his lips after feeling the movement of the baby in Luna's stomach. Luna was also secretly pleased by Ethan's touch. she felt the same jolt that Edward had confessed to her.
"Can I kiss it?" Asked Erhan with a pleading look.
"Of course," replied Luna reflexively. Although, she is still embarrassed.
Ethan squatted down so that his face was in front of Luna's stomach. His hands wrapped around Luna's waist then kissed her stomach for a few seconds.
"Amused," muttered Luna with a faint smile. The irritation had faded to comfort.
"Thanks," Ethan said with a satisfied smile. He was happy that Luna allowed him to touch her stomach, even kissed.
"No need to be grateful. You deserve to feel your baby's presence. Sorry I'm selfish," said Luna.
"Don't think too much of the gossip," suggested Ethan while standing up, "have you ever had a check-up about the gender of our baby?"
"Not yet. We'll always check together"
"Then just now. Also, get you a bigger dress," Ethan said
"I'm getting ready first," Luna immediately changed her clothes to a more elegant outfit. Polish her face with light makeup. Not to forget, she also put sunglasses in her bag. Meanwhile, Ethan looked at his wife who was busy getting ready.
"Come on," asked Luna, who was finished preparing.
The two of them immediately went to the hospital where Luna used to routinely check her pregnancy. In the car, the two of them keep quiet with each other until they reach the hospital.
After arrive. They walked into the hospital. As long as they walk, many pairs of eyes watched the two of them. Some whispered some smiled kindly. It seemed they recognized Luna even though Luna was wearing dark glasses and a bloated stomach.
"Do I look weird?" Luna asked as she continued walking hand in hand with Ethan.
"No. Just leave it. Don't listen to what people say," Ethan replied following his advice. It was okay for him to listen to other people's gossip.
When they got to the doctor's room, they headed for. Luna immediately checked herself and did an ultrasound. The doctor explained while looking at the monitor showing a picture of the baby in Luna's womb.
"Your baby is twins," said the doctor, smiling broadly. Meanwhile, Luna stared and turned to the monitor.
"Twins?" Ethan asked with a surprised and enthusiastic expression.
"Yes, both are healthy"
Luna exhaled roughly and fell silent. She imagined taking care of two babies alone when she divorced Ethan. This will be troublesome. Meanwhile, Ethan imagines babysitting the twins with Luna.
"What about their gender?" Ethan asked
"Not yet seen. Maybe at six or seven months. We'll do another ultrasound to see the gender."
"How big is my stomach?" Asked Luna. Seeing the size of her uterus which was only five months old. Especially if it's been nine months. Luna stared in horror at her stomach.
"Sure big," replied the doctor with a friendly smile. Meanwhile, Ethan was holding back his laughter at Luna's expression who was worried that her stomach would be very big.
When finished check. The doctor gave uterine strengthening drugs and gave good advice to Luna, who was pregnant with twins.
They immediately got out of the hospital and returned to the car. Ethan takes Luna to a nearby mall to shop. While in the car Luna continued to rub her stomach while wondering how big her stomach would be. Because she felt like she was like this.
"Why?" Ethan asked
"Crowded," short Luna.
"Patience, it's a risk,"
After a few minutes, they arrived at the mall. Luna immediately put on her sunglasses and walked to the mall with her arm wrapped around Ethan's arm. She did it so that if there were paparazzi, she would shoot it in a state that looked so good with Ethan.
"LUNAAAA," shrieked Vira, who happened to be at the mall with David.
"Vira," said Luna. They immediately embraced while their husbands just smiled at the wives who hugged as if they had not seen each other in years.
"It's been a long time not seeing, why your stomach looks too big?" Vira asked, smiling at Luna's stomach.
"There is two babies," whispered Luna with an expression that was difficult to interpret.
"Hahaha two. Ah, it must be funny!" Vira chuckled at the thought of Luna and her baby's big belly later. Beautiful Luna and handsome Ethan, their baby must be adorable.
"Why are you laughing?" Asked Luna while pursing her lips patting Vira's shoulder.
"Your baby must be cute. I want to have baby," said Vira, her hand rubbed Luna's belly.
"Don't hold it, I'm embarrassed" prevented Luna from releasing Vira's hand from her stomach.
"My friends are embarrassed. When they are born, I was the first to kiss your baby "said Vira, smiling cheerfully. She learns of the wrong room incident that causes Luna to marry Ethan. But for her, it was a good thing because Ethan was David's friend. Even though Vira knows Luna doesn't like Ethan, she hopes that one day Ethan can win Luna's heart so that she doesn't need a divorce.
After completing the pleasantries among friends. They immediately shop together, followed by the husband behind who is like a tail. Follow where they walk.
"I didn't expect your kids to be twins," David muttered, glancing at Ethan. They are now waiting for their wives to choose clothes
"Maybe it's like my mother. Mommy has twins,"
"Ah. Why don't I know?"
"Because my mother's twin is a man," Ethan replied. Then David responded with a nod.
"Is she still ignorant of you?" Asked David. He also knows that Luna often ignores Ethan.
"Sometimes. But she lets me touch her stomach," Ethan replied with a faint smile. For him it's progress. He hopes that after this Luna will increasingly accept him as a husband and not ask for a divorce after giving birth. Ethan couldn't bear to imagine what their children would do if they divorced. Though wealth is not a problem. However, the love and attention of both parents will be needed by their children in the future. Ethan yearns for the whole family. Getting married once in his life is his dream. Even though his marriage was because of that ridiculous incident.
