Serenity and Zachary York



"You'll live a long life, Nana. Since Doc is here, he can check on you. If there are any issues, we can get him to prescribe some medicine for you." They were the closest people to Grandma May. Although they knew death was inevitable, Zachary felt anxious whenever he thought of her eventual departure.

They were depressed for a long time after their grandfather's passing. Whenever the York lads gathered, their eyes would turn red if their gramps was mentioned.

Grandma May said, "I'm fine now. Our family doctor visits and does regular checkups on me from time to time. Dr. Carden also examined me the last time she came. There are no problems. I've been paying extra attention to my health.

"Anyway, I can still help to take care of your baby. I hope I get a great-granddaughter. I don't want to meet your gramps in heaven without hugging a great-granddaughter or taking her to school.

"Your gramps couldn't meet his great-granddaughter. I have to look at her in his stead, so I can tell him how cute she is when I meet him." Zachary was speechless.

Serenity smiled. "Zachary and I will try to give you a great-granddaughter, Nana. You don't have to be jealous of Old Mrs. Johnson."

"There's no rush. Your baby will only be born next year. You can try for baby number two when your first child is three or four years old. Having two kids is enough. You two don't have to have too many children. Although our family can afford it and have nannies around, childbirth is difficult.

"Pregnancies place an extensive burden on a woman's body. You still have a business to run, Seren. You'll also be in charge of the York family affairs in the future. Health is wealth. Having two children is more than enough."

While Grandma May would have loved to have many great-grandchildren, the health of her granddaughters-in-law took priority.

She did not want them to keep getting pregnant and give birth just to try for a daughter.

When her daughters-in-law were still young, Grandma May had also advised them not to have more after their third child. Not only was the possibility of getting another baby boy high, but she was also worried about their health.

"Two sounds just right. An only child might find it lonely. It would be nice if I could give birth to fraternal twins like Jane."

Grandma May smiled. "Conceiving

fraternal twins' is pretty tricky. Gics plays a role as well. Since your family doesn't have a history of bearing twins, the possibility of you and Zachary having twins will be low, unless you two opt for VF.

"However, I think natural pregnancy is better than that if your condition allows it. IVF can be mentally and physically challenging."

Sasha could have opted for IVF to try for a daughter before she got pregnant with Rowan, but Grandma May did not agree to it. She did not want Sasha to go through a hard time.

The old lady had always told her sons and daughters-in-law to let nature take its course. If they were destined to have a daughter in the family, it would surely happen one day

Not being able to have something brought regrets, but losing something you had was painful.

"Don't worry, Nana. We won't go for IVF," said Zachary.

He could not bear putting Serenity through such an arduous journey.

Since Serenity could conceive naturally, they had no reason to go for IVF.

Whether they had a son or a daughter, their children were the crystallization of their love and somewhat a continuation of their lives. "That's a relief to hear."

Grandma May yawned and told Serenity and Zachary, "I'm going to nap. I feel uncomfortable if I don't sleep when it's time.

"Wake me up when we reach the Stones' place. You should rest too, Seren."

Serenity replied, "I'm not sleepy yet

Nana. We'll wake you up when we

now. I'll inform her that

Grandma May closed her eyes and fell asleep.
