Chapter 230: Two Bars On Pregnancy Test Strip
Mia was the first to stand up and asked Lily with a smile, "Nothing, let's go eat. Mom, what delicious food have you made?"
Upon hearing this, Lily said, "All the dishes you love to eat, and a few light dishes suitable for children." She smiled and added, "I don't know what Mr. Greco likes to eat, so I cooked according to your taste."
Dylan cooperatively stood up. His attitude towards Lily became a lot more polite, and he said, "What my wife likes to eat, I like to eat. It's better to call me by my name in the future. Calling me Mr. Greco is too formal. We are all family, and no matter what, you raised Mia, she is very grateful to you."
With a simple sentence, Dylan instantly showed the importance of Mia to him, and also indicated their affection for each other, as well as mentioning in passing that Mia hadn't forgotten about her raising her.
Lily was an intelligent person, how could she not understand what Dylan meant? She was touched, and nodded her head as she said, "Yes, Mr. Greco... I mean, Dylan. Come eat."
Looking at Eleanor and Oscar, she said, "You guys come quickly too. Don't let the food get cold."
When she arrived at the table, Mia first ladled soup for Danny and put the food he wanted to eat on the small plate in front of him before eating.
She ate some BBQ ribs, which she used to like, but as soon as it entered her mouth, her stomach churned, so she covered her mouth and ran towards the bathroom next to the living room. She retched for a while, but couldn't throw up anything.
Dylan also followed over and patted her back while handing her water at the same time and said, "What's going on? You should go to the hospital tomorrow."
If Mia hadn't just had her period, he would have suspected that Mia was pregnant.
In fact, Mia herself was also a little confused. After thinking about it, she nodded her head and said, "Okay, let's go tomorrow. I feel fine after throwing up."
When they reached the dining table, Danny quickly handed Mia tissues and asked with concern, "Mommy, are you okay?"
Mia shook her head, and the three Jones family members looked at each other.
Oscar also looked ill at ease.
"Mia, are you all right?" After Mia wiped her mouth, Lily asked.
Mia shook her head and said, "No, I don't know what bad food I've eaten these two days, but my stomach is very uncomfortable."
"You aren't..." Lily wanted to say something, but stopped short of saying it. Upon hearing this, Mia shook her head and said, "No... I know for sure."
She gave Lily a wink, and Lily understood that she was saying that her period had come, so she nodded her head gently.
Lily was a little disappointed, but then she said, "It's good that you are fine. Do you want to eat some more ribs?"
When Mia heard the word ribs, she frowned and looked like she was going to throw up at any moment.
Once Lily saw her look, she was reminded of a certain possibility and said to Mia, "Then what do you want to eat? There is spicy cabbage, tomato and beef stew, sauerkraut, and chicken soup. Want to have some?"
Mia no longer felt nauseous, and it actually sounded appetizing, so she nodded and said, "Alright."
During the meal, Mia ate the spicy and sour dishes, otherwise she knew she would get nauseous.
After eating, Lily took Mia's hand and said, "Mia, come up. Mom has something to tell you."
Although Mia was puzzled, since Lily said so, she followed her over.
When they went upstairs, they went to Mia's old room. Surprisingly, they kept it the same way it was decorated before she left, and it didn't change at all. Mia felt somewhat moved.
Lily said to Mia with a straight face, "Mia, tell mom, are you really pregnant? Judging from your reaction and taste just now, I think it's very likely."
However, Mia shook her head and said, "No, mom, I just had my period today."
Mia continued, "It came on the way here today."
As Mia said, she looked at Lily somewhat awkwardly and said, "At that time, as soon as I got into the car, I smelled the barely detectable smell of gas and wanted to vomit, but I got my period halfway through the trip."
Lily was silent for a moment before saying, "So... how heavy did it come? Do you have any cramps?"
After all, Lily had been her mother for many years, so most of her physiological knowledge, in addition to the lectures at school, came from Lily. Although the questions were specific, Mia didn't feel shy and said truthfully, "It wasn't that heavy. I just went to the bathroom and there was only a little of it. My stomach... doesn't hurt this time."
Usually, Mia's stomach would hurt when she had her period, especially the first two days, but today... surprisingly, she didn't feel anything at all. What was going on?
"Mia, I think you are really pregnant." Lily was increasingly certain and said, "Silly child, you don't know because you have no experience, but this isn't your period. It's implantation bleeding. When Mom was pregnant with you... pregnant with Eleanor, I also saw implantation bleeding. I was so scared that I thought the baby was gone, but luckily, the baby was fine. "
"Mom, how come I bleed when I'm pregnant? Why is that?" Mia was a little confused, but deep down, there was some joy.
Lily explained, "Many people see implantation bleeding when they are pregnant for more than a month, so don't move around for now. I'll get you a pregnancy test strip. Eleanor's room should have one, so take a test first." She was worried about Mia.
Implantation bleeding was a sign of pre -eclampsia miscarriage. If it wasn't serious, one would only need to be hospitalized for a period of time until the bleeding was gone to keep the baby, but if it was serious, one would have to stay for three months or maybe even... the child wouldn't be able to survive.
With the Greco family's current situation, if Mia had a child, all her problems would be solved, and those stubborn Elders who were still opposed to their relationship wouldn't be able to say anything anymore.
After seeing Dylan's attitude and Mia's emotional attachment to them, Lily knew that Mia was important, but she couldn't tell Mia directly to avoid making her anxious.
She quickly went to Eleanor's room, looked in the bathroom drawer without asking, then took out two pregnancy test strips and went back to the room. She supported Mia and said, "Go to the bathroom and pee. Mom will measure for you."
Upon hearing this, Mia laughed and said, "Mom, I can just go by myself."
"Mom will assist you. What is there to be ashamed of between mother and daughter? You are physically weak now, so listen to me." Lily said in a serious manner and insisted on helping Mia to go to the bathroom.
Mia couldn't resist, so she had to let her help to go to the bathroom, then Lily personally gave Mia a test, and a few moments later... there were two red bars on that pregnancy test strip!
