Heinz was startled. He stared at her and was promptly reminded that Zachary and Yvonne would be welcoming their third child the following year.

He and Grace weren't that old either. It wasn't impossible for them to have their third child.

Heinz stared at Grace for a long time. She did seem to be pregnant.

As the thought crossed his mind, Heinz's heart leaped with joy.

If he had two more children, he would really be able to expand the Jones family.

Grace was sleeping soundly. It was the opposite of her usual sleeping pattern.

With this thought in mind, Heinz gave himself a reminder to restrain himself from exhausting Grace.

If she was really pregnant, they would have to be extra careful during the early stages to keep the baby.

He lied down and put his arm around her.

Heinz was a little excited at the thought of Grace being pregnant. He couldn't fall asleep.

Now that Cindy was undergoing surgery, it would take her a while to be discharged.

She would take at least five days to recover from the uterus removal surgery.

Even if she was discharged, she would need at least a month's time to be able to move freely again.

Hence, Heinz wouldn't have to worry about Cindy for the time being. He felt a little relieved.

Besides, Sinclair and Monica had already boarded the plane. They should be arriving soon.

With that, Heinz decided to bring Grace to a gynecologist in London just to confirm whether she was pregnant or not.

The next morning. Grace was still sleeping when Heinz woke up. She seemed to be much more lethargic than usual.

Heinz went downstairs to make a phone call. He asked Alex to help him arrange an appointment with the hospital for Grace's check- up that morning.

Meanwhile, Gary, who was just heading downstairs, overheard the entire conversation.

After Heinz hung up the phone, Gary immediately asked, "Why are you making an appointment with the gynecologist? Don't tell me you're doing this for Cindy."

Heinz was startled. He looked at Gary, who was not only surprised but was also having his doubts. Heinz felt insulted.

"Who says I'm making an appointment for Cindy? This is meant for your mom. No one but your mother can make me do this for her," Heinz scoffed.

Heinz felt uncomfortable that his very own son was suspecting him. He glared at Gary and then shuffled over to the sofa.

His concern was not meant for Cindy.

Gary immediately followed behind and sat down beside Heinz, asking, "An appointment with the gynecologist for mom? What's wrong? Is she pregnant?"

There was a glint of hope in Heinz's eyes as he heard this, and Gary noticed it too.

Heinz raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why are you asking? Can't we have another baby?"

Gary was shocked again. He leaned backwards and asked Heinz, "Is she really pregnant? Are you still trying for a third child at this age? Aren't you worried that mom will give birth to another pair of twins again? You will have six children by then."

"It's a blessing to have that many children. What do you even know?" Heinz boasted. It was as if it was confirmed that Grace was already pregnant.

He looked at his son proudly and said, "If your uncle can have his third child, why can't your mom and I have one too? Your mom is much younger than your aunt anyways. It's not impossible." "That's the point. They are having only three children, but we might have six," Gary refuted.

"What's wrong with having six children? Your mom is gifted with the ability of having this many children. Your aunt can only wish for the same," Heinz boasted again.

Among their two pairs of twins, one of them were even fraternal twins. He was proud of his and Grace's ability.

He considered this his best creation.

"That's true," Gary stopped teasing Heinz as he saw how excited Heinz was over this possible pregnancy.

It was just that Gary was reminded how he was almost 21.

If it weren't for the miscarriage, he would have been a father too.

But now that Gary was about to welcome another sibling who was going to be 20 years younger than him, he was still taken aback.

Noticing that Gary wasn't saying anything else, Heinz sounded a little impatient and asked, "Look at you. Aren't you happy that your mother and I are expecting another child?"

Gary immediately waved his hand and shook his head, explaining, "It's not that. You are of course free to have another baby. It's just weird to think that I'll be having another sibling younger than me by 20 years."

"What's the problem? You're only 20 years apart. It was perfectly fine several decades back. You don't have to be this surprised, I'm just preparing you in advance. If your mother is really pregnant, we will definitely keep this child," Heinz said.

"Of course. It's not like you will have an abortion," Gary glanced at Heinz and sighed, "That will only take a toll on her body."

Heinz didn't know how to react to his words. He shot a brief glare at Gary and asked, "Why are you spewing such nonsense? I'd never do that to your mom! If she really is pregnant, I'll make sure that both her and our child are safe and sound."

"Oh, fine. Just go ahead then," Gary stood up and changed the topic, "I'll be heading to work now. Let me know once the results are out."

"I will. Don't tell anyone else about this. Your mom isn't aware of it yet," Heinz reminded.

"So you're already expecting a pregnancy although mom doesn't know yet? You're pretty experienced at this," Gary was surprised.

"I do have some experience in this. Your mom's been very sleepy recently," Heinz answered, "She was like this when she was pregnant with your younger siblings, so I'm suspicious."

Gary nodded, "Alright. Let's hope you're right about this."

Heinz boasted shamelessly, "Thank you for your sincere blessing. I'm sure that I'm right."

Gary ignored him and turned to head upstairs.

Meanwhile, Grace only woke up at 9:30 a.m..

She was startled after noticing the time. She then got up quickly to get ready.

Just then, Heinz happened to walk into their room. After seeing that she was up, he immediately asked, "Honey, you're up?"

"Why did I wake up so late again?" Grace was in good spirits after getting a good night's rest, "Is breakfast still available? I'm hungry."

"She is sleeping more and her appetite has increased. I think she really is pregnant," Heinz thought to himself.

He immediately said, "Yes, it's ready for you. I'll ask them to heat it up for you."

"Sure. I'll head downstairs after getting ready," Grace said as she walked into the washroom.

In the meantime, Heinz headed downstairs to get her breakfast.

Grace had a great appetite that morning.

After breakfast, Heinz brought her appointment up, "Let's go to the hospital today for a check-up."

"For who? What's wrong?" Grace asked.

"It's for you to see if you're pregnant."

Hearing this, Grace was startled for a moment.

She stared at him in shock and gaped, "What, what did you just say?"

"I think you might be pregnant. Don't you notice the symptoms?" Heinz smiled at her.

Grace gasped, "How can I be pregnant at this age? I'm... I'm already old enough to be a grandmother. Heinz, what should I do?"

She immediately felt uneasy and dejected.

Her attitude was the complete opposite of Heinz's. Heinz immediately comforted her, "Why are you so worried about this? You're not that old. Just look at Yvonne. She's much older than you and she's pregnan too. Don't worry."

Grace noticed how excited he was about this.

She felt helpless.

"C'mon. Let's just go and get a checkup to see if you're really pregnant or not."
