Shaun started to walk out, but Halsey reached out and grabbed his sleeve. “Mr. Lane.”
Shaun stopped and looked at her. “What is it?”
Halsey hesitated. “Tomorrow, I have my prenatal checkup. Do you want to come with me? If you’re busy, it’s fine. I can go alone

Before she could finish, Shaun cut her off. “I have time. I’ll go with you to the checkup.”
Halsey nodded. “Okay.”
She let go of his sleeve. “Bye.”
Shaun said, “Get some rest. I’ll drive you to the hospital tomorrow.”
“Okay.”
With that, Shaun left.
Halsey stood by the window, staring downstairs through the clear glass. His luxury car was parked right there, and Elise was waiting by the side.
When Shaun’s tall, handsome figure appeared, Elise smiled and greeted him, “Mr. Lane, get in.”
Shaun got into the passenger seat, Elise took the driver’s seat, and the car sped away.
He was gone.
Halsey placed her small hand gently on her belly. She was already three months pregnant, and her once-flat stomach now had a soft curve.
She lowered her long lashes, smiled softly, and whispered, “Baby, your daddy’s gone now. Let’s get some rest-we’ll see your daddy tomorrow.”
The next morning, Shaun personally drove to pick up Halsey, and they arrived at the hospital together.
The doctor performed a full prenatal checkup. The baby was healthy.
The doctor asked, “Have you started feeling the baby move yet?” 1
Move?
Halsey shook her head. “Not yet.”
Shaun looked worried. “Is it bad if there’s no movement?”
The doctor smiled. “No, don’t worry. At this stage, the baby is just starting to move. You can place your hand on the mom’s belly
and talk to the baby often. They say a dad’s voice is the best prenatal education-it can even encourage the baby to move.”
Halsey glanced at Shaun, who was listening carefully to the doctor. The nervousness, eagerness, and joy of becoming a first- time father showed clearly on his face. Anyone could see how much he loved this baby and how much he wanted it to arrive.
Halsey’s heart softened. She had known all along that Shaun would be a good father.
Shaun said, “Okay, I’ll try.”
He placed his hand gently on Halsey’s slightly rounded belly and softly patted it. “Baby, it’s me, your daddy. Can you hear me?”

Halsey smiled and laughed softly.
Shaun looked at her. “What’s so funny?”
Halsey teased, “Do you think that will work?”
Just then, the baby moved-a little kick against Halsey’s belly.
“Ah!” Halsey gasped.
Shaun felt it too. The baby’s kick hit his palm, strong and lively.
Shaun was surprised. “The baby moved!”

Halsey was thrilled. She hadn’t expected the baby’s first movement to come just like that.
She nodded happily. “I felt it! The baby moved!”
The baby kicked again, stronger this time.
“Ah!” Halsey cried.
Shaun immediately reached out to steady her. “Does it hurt when the baby kicks like that?”
The doctor smiled. “Mr. Lane, looks like you not only love the baby, but also really care about the mother!”
Halsey blushed. “It doesn’t hurt.”
