A/N: For this chapter, first try to imagine you are in Yibo's mother's shoes. This may help you to better understand why she reacts the way she does in the beginning.

It was still morning, Yibo was at work and Zhan was lying on the sofa in the living room. He stroked the small bulge of his belly and said, "Hey you in there. Which one of us is hungry right now? You again? Or me? You know, if we keep eating like this, your Dad will have to roll us around the apartment soon." At the thought of it, Zhan had to smile. Especially because he would definitely trust Yibo to do that.

He carefully got up from the sofa, in the last few days he often felt dizzy when he got up too quickly, and went to the kitchen to prepare himself a bowl of vegetable pieces. But just as he washed the peppers, cucumber, tomatoes and salad, the doorbell rang. Since Zhan was not expecting anyone, he wondered if he should just ignore the ringing.

But when the person then tried to enter a code in the door lock, Zhan rather decided to open the door after all. After all, Yibo had had a new door lock installed only last week. The code entry box was of the latest technology and would set off an alarm if the code was entered incorrectly three times.

So Zhan rushed to the apartment door before it could set off the alarm. He opened the door and a woman he had only known from Yibo's stories, phone calls, pictures and the many articles in the media looked at him with wide eyes. Yibo's mother!

She didn't dwell too much on pleasantries and just said, "Good morning. I'll come in then." And almost pushed Zhan aside in the process.

Zhan hurried into the living room and took the blanket off the sofa. Of course, Yibo's mother noticed this and asked him, "Don't tell me my son is at work and you're lazing around on the sofa at home."

"Um, no it's not quite like that." Zhan replied, stammering. While he had hoped that their first meeting would be under better circumstances and didn't expect her to accept him right away, her harsh tone made him shudder. And he immediately realized that she did accept that Yibo was with him. But that this did not mean at the same time that she would accept Zhan because of that. However, if she wasn't the only one Zhan thought could help Yibo with his father, he would never have brought her here.

"Then how is it? You called me because Yibo needs help with his father. But instead of standing by him, you're lazing around here at home. He needs to take care of your business, keep building it up, deal with his father, and could more than need your support. But instead, you lie here and do nothing. You leave my son alone with all the problems. Yes, this is how I imagined your relationship. Letting Yibo do it and doing nothing yourself."

At these words, Zhan had a hard time swallowing. He knows that Yibo's mother doesn't know about the baby and he doesn't plan to tell her, but it really hurt him what she said and that he didn't know what to say instead to defend himself. After all, he was not at home voluntarily and did nothing. He stayed at home on the advice of his doctor and request of Yibo to escape the stress that is so harmful to him and the baby. "It's really not what it looks like." He brought out after several heavy swallows.

"Let me tell you what it looks like to me. I got a call from you asking me to help my son. I come here to find that you're lying here comfortably on the sofa while Yibo is moving your business forward and constantly having to deal with his father as well. I thought you loved Yibo and wanted the best for him? Then why aren't you with him now, helping him? Why does he have to do everything by himself?"

"I know it looks like I'm being lazy. But it's not like that."

"Then how is it mhhh?"

"I can't explain it to you. Not without Yibo's consent."

"You're a grown man! Why do you need Yibo's consent? You're only a year younger than him. How about you act like a man and explain to me why you don't get your ass to the company and prefer to lie lazily on the sofa?"

For Zhan, the situation was more than bad right now. He knew it wouldn't be easy with Yibo's mother. But he didn't think it would be like this. "Mrs. Wang, I am not voluntarily at home resting here. There's a good reason for that. But I won't mention it without first consulting Yibo. Because this concerns him too."

"Really? Doesn't he want you to go to work, stay at home, clean, cook and greet him in the evening with a delicious dinner like housewives do? You are not a woman! You are a man! So behave like one. Or give me a reason to understand why you are here and not at work!"

"The reason is that he is one of very few men who can get pregnant. He's pregnant with my baby! And he needs to stay home because stress is unhealthy for him and our baby! What are you doing here mom?" Yibo almost shouted, who came home in the meantime without Zhan or Yibo's mother noticing.

"Yibo... I..." Zhan began. But suddenly he got a nosebleed and stomach cramps. Yibo ran to Zhan and grabbed him. He laid him on the sofa and covered him.

"I'm going to call the number we got from your doctor." Said Yibo.

"No wait."

"Wait my ass Zhan! I'm calling that number now. It's about you and my baby! I'm not taking any risks." Yibo called the doctor, who said she would be on her way to them right away. Then he turned to his mother and said, "Now to you mom. I don't know why you are here. But if you just came to mess with my fiancé, you better get out of here right now. I won't let anyone hurt my fiancé."

"Yibo, I called your mom. I was hoping she could help you with your dad." Said Zhan, whimpering in pain as his stomach cramped again.

"What's wrong with him?" Asked Yibo's mother.

"I already told you! He's pregnant."

"But he's a man."

"I just explained that. He's one of very few men whose body is so special that he can get pregnant."

"And he's pregnant with your baby?"

"Yes mom." Yibo's mother looked confused and shocked. She squatted down next to the sofa and wanted to touch Zhan's belly. But Yibo slapped her hand away and scolded, "No one but me and his doctors will touch this belly!"

"But I'm your mother. And if this is true and he is pregnant, then this is my grandchild!"

"Oh I assure you he is pregnant. But you have to earn the right to call my baby your grandchild. And even if you are my mother. You are not allowed to touch my Zhan. Not his belly or anything of him!"

"Yibo..." began Zhan.

"The doctor will be right there my honey."

"Yibo I want to go home. I want to go home to my parents." Said Zhan crying.

Yibo kissed Zhan's hands and cheek. "Zhan please stay with me okay. The doctor will be here soon to check you. And I won't leave your side today. Just please stay with me. I can't be without you anymore."

"I'm, I'm sorry Zhan. I didn't know that and I was just angry because Yibo is not well. I thought you were just taking advantage of him." Interfered Yibo's mother again.

"Mom, Zhan would never do something like that. The doctor put him on strict rest because he wasn't feeling well because of all the stress. He still wanted to work. I had to persuade him to stay home. If you had really listened to me during our phone calls and taken some time to get to know Zhan, you would know that. He doesn't need to take advantage of me."

Yibo stroked Zhan's cheek. "If you want, I'll call your parents. But please stay here yes?"

"Yes. I, I'll stay with you. It's not like I want to leave you. But I can't take all this stress with your family anymore. I'm afraid of losing the baby. I can't stand all these fights anymore." Said Zhan.

"I want to sincerely apologize to you again Zhan. And I promise I will treat you well from now on. And I also promise to take care of my ex-husband so he will finally leave Yibo alone." Said Yibo's mother, trying to touch Zhan's belly again.

"MOM, damn it! Don't touch him! My Zhan and my baby! I won't allow you to touch him!" Yibo scolded. Zhan had to smile in response and felt himself slowly relax.

Yibo's mother was about to say something about it when the doorbell rang. It was the doctor, who introduced herself as Dr. Ann. Yibo immediately brought her to Zhan in the living room, where she immediately began to examine him. "His blood pressure is a little high. Probably that's why he got a nosebleed. And the baby is fine. The cramps are from too much air in his belly. It probably just became noticeable when he was under stress." She explained.

Zhan and Yibo were immediately relieved. Yibo's mother also sat down in the chair with relief and said, "Thank God. Because I don't want to be to blame if my grandchild is not doing well."

Yibo turned to her and gave her an evil stare. "Your grandchild? Earn the right to be it' s grandma, before that you can't call my baby your grandchild."

"Mr. Wang, please don't stress okay? The baby is fine and so is Zhan. The two of them need rest. The best thing would be for him to lie down in bed and get some sleep. I'll give him some anticonvulsant that should also help him release the air better." Said the doctor.

"Oh this is so embarrassing. I'm having cramps because I can't fart." Said Zhan, holding a pillow over his red face.

Yibo laughingly pulled the pillow off his face and gave him a kiss on the forehead. "I'm going to pretend I don't hear anything. Okay?"

"That doesn't help me either Bo. I know you'll hear it anyway."

"Don't worry about it. This kind of thing is perfectly normal. When I was pregnant with Yibo, I had to fart all the time too." Yibo's mother explained.

"I hope it won't be like that with me." Said Zhan with a smile. He was now relaxed and reassured again because the baby was doing well and Yibo's mother was also kind to him. He hadn't done anything to her, after all. Except to fall in love with her son, of all people.

Yibo walked the doctor to the door after she gave Zhan an anticonvulsant and showed his mother the guest room before putting Zhan to bed and lying down with him. He stroked the little bulge and said, "Hey it's Dad. I'm glad you're okay in your daddy's belly. That was quite a mess today wasn't it? But don't worry, your grandma won't be stressing from now on. In fact, she's looking forward to seeing you."

Zhan snuggled up to Yibo and asked, "Are you really going to stay here today?"

"Yes honey. I won't go to the office today. I've already sent a message. I didn't have any appointments today anyway. Today I'll stay here with you and we'll cuddle in bed all day."

"Um you Bo?"

"Yeah?"

"I'm hungry."

"Haha, again?"

"Yeah. I was trying to make myself a bowl of veggies earlier when your mom came over."

"Do you want me to make that for you?"

"We can do it together, too."

"No, you stay here in bed and let your Hubby chop your vegetables. Thanks to you, I know how to do that now."

"Thank you Bo. Really, thank you."

"I would do anything for you my honey. Now get some rest and I'll make you your salad real quick."

"Thank you. I love you."

"I love you, too. More than I can put into words." Said Yibo. He gave Zhan one more kiss and then hurried to the kitchen to prepare a salad for Zhan.

When Yibo came into the kitchen, his mother had already started preparing the salad for Zhan. And an oatmeal with blueberries. She apologized again to Yibo, who now understood that she was only worried about him. Worried that Zhan might take advantage of him. Because she didn't know about the baby and about Zhan having to avoid any stress. Fortunately, however, he received an alert on his cell phone that someone had entered the door code incorrectly several times and he was still near his apartment at the time. Therefore, he was also able to get home quickly and help Zhan.

She hugged Yibo and promised him that from now on she would make sure that his father would leave him alone. And she even offered Yibo her help with his business so he could have more time for Zhan. And now that his mother has sworn off alcohol and even went to therapy, Yibo even considered her offer. Because he would like to spend more time with Zhan.
