Muir instantly tensed up and rapidly took a look at her from top to bottom. Seeing that she was holding onto her stomach, he reached out to touch it as well. “Is your stomach hurting? Are you going to give birth?”
Bai Qingqing had been in a half-asleep state but was shocked awake by Muir’s voice. She sensed it carefully and then said in a muddled voice, “I think it doesn’t hurt anymore.”
After saying that, Bai Qingqing let out an exhale. “It’s fine if it doesn’t hurt. The pregnancy period for leopard cubs is three months. I’m just slightly over two months into my pregnancy. It’d definitely be dangerous for the children to be so prematurely born.”
“Then you were saying that it hurts?” Muir was still not assured. He took a look at Bai Qingqing’s stomach and then at her face.
Bai Qingqing said, uncertain, “It seemed to hurt a little earlier, but it’s fine now. Ahh!”
As Bai Qingqing spoke, her body suddenly stiffened up as if she had been electrocuted. She then straightened her body.
“What’s the matter now? Is it hurting?” Muir was panicking.
Bai Qingqing lowered her head and looked at her stomach, opening her reddened eyes widely. “No… I feel that… something seems to be moving in my stomach. Ahh, it moved again. Something is kicking me.”
A hint of surprise appeared in Bai Qingqing’s eyes. Her hand touched the spot where her stomach was kicked. She had just placed her hand there when the spot was kicked again. This time around, she could feel the force even from her palm.
Oh oh oh oh my god! Was was was… this fetal movement? It was with such a great force. There were really children in her stomach.
The muscles on Muir’s face twitched and he seemed a little agitated. However, his expression seemed a little chaotic.
“Is it true? Let me touch.”
“Alright.” Bai Qingqing pushed out her stomach toward him, and Muir immediately placed his hand on her stomach.
The two of them looked like a young couple experiencing parenthood for the first time, finding the first fetal movement very novel.
Muir was probably unlucky and didn’t feel anything. He placed his head against her stomach.
Bai Qingqing was a little stunned after seeing this.
This scene looked so much like what a father would do.
Sigh. Parker, when are you coming?
Suddenly, a big, forceful kick came from her stomach again. Bai Qingqing scrunched her face up and let out a cry, feeling as if her stomach had bulged out a little.
“I heard it. They kicked my face.” Muir let out a loud cry in astonishment. He looked up and touched his face in disbelief.
Bai Qingqing let out a laugh. “Is it that exaggerated?”
“The children must be very strong,” Muir said with affirmation.
Bai Qingqing nodded in agreement. They were really kicking up a ruckus in her stomach. She wondered how many of them there were. Bai Qingqing felt that there were at least two.
With them moving around, she suddenly recalled the horror movie “Alien” that she had watched a few years back. A killing monster or something had come out from a person’s stomach.
Was this what people referred to as fetal movements? It seemed that human babies would also do the same. She shouldn’t have thought of the children as aliens.
Bai Qingqing reprimanded herself.
Her stomach calmed down after a while. Bai Qingqing looked out, her heart still unsettled.
“Is everything alright now? Is the earthquake over?”
Muir rubbed her head. “I told you it was fine. It’s just an ordinary small earthquake.”
“It’s just an ordinary small earthquake? Only?” Bai Qingqing was puzzled and asked.
Muir explained, “This place isn’t as calm as the City of Beastmen. Small earthquakes like this often happen. Even if the earthquakes are more intense, it’d be fine if we fly to the sky. Only newly born children would be frightened. The females are used to it.”
Bai Qingqing had never experienced an earthquake before. The few earthquakes she had heard of had all caused tremendous casualties.
