The next day came, Daniel was able to convince Laotian to keep what had happened between them for the time being a secret after agreeing that they would go straight to the hospital first thing in the morning. Of course, Daniel still tried to convince the Alpha that he was fine and that he didn't want to go to the hospital only to be scolded again by their doctor just because they couldn't keep their hands away from each other but Laotian was stubborn and his decision was final. Needless to say, Laotian also hated the feeling of being scolded at his age, but he would take that instead of risking Daniel and their children's safety.

"Say goodbye to your friend now," Ian said to Lan, urging him to go near Elven. Lan listened to his mother but he couldn't help but blush a little. Looking at Elven's cute expression, he was suddenly reluctant to move. Elven saw how he was acting, he smiled and approached Lan instead.

"Lan, I'm sure we'll see each other soon so don't forget me okay?" Elven said, squeezing Lan's hand with a smile after reaching out for it. And naturally, with this simple act, Lan blushed deeper and nodded shyly before shifting his eyes back on the floor, suddenly feeling embarrassed. He was sad that they had to leave already but he was also happy that Elven still wanted to see him again next time.

Meanwhile, the adults watched the two and later smiled, totally understanding the whole situation, especially Ian who finds Lan acting unusual. Lan was a confident child and most of the time he was unfeeling like his uncle so seeing him suddenly blush and couldn't say a word to Elven clearly says his baby was finally experiencing his first crush.

"You'll still be my friend then, right?" Elven asked, still squeezing on Lan's soft hands. When Lan heard Elven, a bright smile formed on his lips, and finally looked at his friend before nodding enthusiastically. Lan had a lot of friends especially at school but most of them were girls and most of them also just pushed themselves on him. Elven, on the other hand, it was the first time he wanted to be friends with him.

"Hmmm, I'd like that," Lan said and nodded gladly that the moment Elven heard him, he couldn't help but pull Lan into his arms and hugged him joyfully.

"Really? Thank you, Lan," Elven exclaimed. "I hope to see you and Minmin again and play. It was a lot of fun," Elven said again, pulling away from their hug making Lan nod again with his brightest smile. The adults heard their conversation so they also smiled, especially Aidan who knew that the two would indeed see each other again soon at school.

After the short farewell session between the two, the adults also bid their farewells to each other as well and not long after they were finally headed out of Franco and Aidan's property.

"Ian, is it okay for us to make a short trip to the hospital?" Daniel asked after at last their service passed through the property's main gate and into the main road. Daniel doubted that Laotian would be polite enough to tell Ian so he decided to ask the fellow Omega instead because it would be inconsiderate of them if they didn't inform Ian and he might have something he had to do urgently.

"Yeah sure, is something the matter?" Ian replied and glanced at Daniel worriedly. Daniel looks fine but in the Mo family, the words Hospital and Daniel are two things that shouldn't combine because whenever that happens, everything in the family just turns into chaos out of worry.

"It's nothing really. Laotian was just being too dramatic," Daniel said purposely making the Alpha hear him clearly despite sitting next to each other.

"I'm fine being dramatic as long as I'm assured that you're fine," Laotian said, his thumb rubbing against Daniel's thighs while making sure Luangmin on his arms won't wake up from his nap.

"Ohh, okay. It's fine with me, I don't have to do anything until next week anyway," Ian replied, nodding after hearing the Alpha's side. He doubted Mo Laotian was being dramatic but it was best to nod and say yes at this moment since he indeed had nothing to do back at home anyway especially when Hanlu wasn't around and his job was only to resume next week because he wanted to make sure Lan would settle comfortably first at his new school before he focuses again on his career.

The school was said to be the most prestigious academy in the country where the heirs and heiresses of wealthy corporations from around the world studied. It is also where all three Mo brothers graduated from Kindergarten, Elementary and High School. Ian wasn't concerned whether Lan could handle the classes or not because his son was smart, what he was worried about is if Lan was going to handle the atmosphere and the rich and spoiled children there on his own.

Ian sighed on his thought. He didn't want to put Lan under pressure changing schools but his child's safety was his top priority after what had happened. He blamed Hanlu for his negligence but he also blamed himself for not taking further precautions when he already knew what are the risks of their son coming out to the public.

"Thank you, I promise it'll be quick," Daniel assured, waking Ian from his thoughts.

For Laotian, on the other hand, if Daniel was indeed fine then that would be great. He never wished for his beloved to get hurt but he can't just let the situation be. He can't just not send Daniel for a check-up because he wanted to be sure that the Omega was indeed fine. It's okay for him to be proven wrong but if he was right, at least they'll be able to mitigate Daniel's condition.

And after the long ride, thankfully, Laotian was proven wrong. Daniel was indeed fine. Although the twins didn't move from their sensitive position, their doctor gladly informed the two that Daniel wasn't at risk of miscarriage anymore. They weren't forbidden from doing the naughty deed anymore but the doctor warned the two that too much would still implicate the pregnancy again like any other women and Omegas pregnant with multiples.

"Congratulations, Mr. Daniel and the twins are now in perfect condition but please as much as possible, refrain from being exposed to any kind of stress, physically and mentally. This is a huge improvement from your last result that it is considered a miracle but as I said please still lightly exercise every morning, regularly take the supplements with a well-balanced diet," The doctor said happily after congratulating the two from Daniel's surprising complete recovery. She repeated the dos and don'ts that she already mentioned before to which Daniel and Laotian listened patiently while still shocked at the result.

Naturally, because his last checkup was not even 2 weeks ago and now he's out of danger? It was a very overwhelming feeling. Daniel couldn't help but think that the reason why he was fine now was because he's happier than before and he's not stressed compared to when a lot of things happened. With him being pushed at the gallery and then Laotian suddenly leaving for work, then the kidnapping and the rest of the revelations, it was also a miracle he held onto that without breaking down to the point of no return. And now that all of that had passed, he's finally stressed free and his body was reacting to that positively.

"Also, come and visit us at least once a month so we can make sure this journey will go on smoothly from now on," The doctor finally said his last sentence, making both Daniel and Laotian smile at her gratefully.

"Thank you, Doctor, for all your help," Laotian said politely and was already thinking of increasing his sponsorship to the hospital. He was a strict person when it comes to business but when he's pleased, he doesn't forget to also give rewards.

"The hospital and I only did what we could to help," The doctor said before finally bidding her farewell.

Walking out of the Doctor's office, Daniel and Laotian were holding each other's hands. They halted their steps and looked at each other's eyes affectionately. Suddenly, they couldn't help themselves as they neared each other and kissed passionately.

Laotian wrapped his arms around Daniel's waist while Daniel hung his arms around Laotian's neck. The kiss lasted a couple of seconds not caring that people were looking at them, some were taking videos or pictures. Their bodyguards did their best to suppress the people from filming and taking photos but there are still a few that got away. This will soon be the reason why Daniel's pregnancy will be publicized but right now, none of them knew that. None of them cared for that. Since his pregnancy was already a constant topic online, this brief affectionate moment will only confirm all the rumors.

"I love you, Laotian," Daniel breathed as their lips separated.

"And I to you," Laotian replied tenderly, kissing Daniel on his forehead. When they came to the hospital earlier, he was prepared to be scolded by the doctor but instead they're now walking out with good news.

* * *

Three months later.

[Flash news from the entertainment side, Twins are coming! We just received a tip that Daniel Sullen Mo was earlier admitted to Michael's C. hospital for labor. It was earlier than expected according to our calculations after their confirmation three months ago but our source was reliable. We don't know if the new heirs to the Mo Empire had been born already but we aren't going to give up until we see those babies,]

Daniel watched the TV news a little upset, he held onto his stomach rubbing in a circular motion hoping that the pain he was feeling would somehow lessen but watching the news now made his mood a little foul. He absolutely refuses to give birth until Laotian comes back from his business trip. He was against the Alpha leaving since it was his birth month but the situation was urgent and there was an emergency. He needed to go and fix the emergency personally. That was two days ago.

Daniel was fine then because it was expected for him to give birth 2 week later and Laotian was only going to be there for 2-3 days but seeing how he was now about to give birth, he couldn't help but get angry. He was not angry at Laotian, he was not angry at himself, he was not angry at anyone specifically but he was angry. It might be because he's feeling so much pain, he didn't care, he was just angry.

"Darling, it'll be dangerous if we delay your birth more," It was Laura's turn to convince Daniel after Diane, Ian, and Hanlu. For the past hour, they have been convincing Daniel to transfer to the delivery room because he was already showing signs of giving birth but Daniel still refused to do so. Although his water hasn't broken yet, the doctor said it will be a matter of time.

"Mother, I can't give birth without Laotian," Daniel said for the 100th time between his breathing exercises. The pain he was feeling was almost unbearable but he refused to surrender. He and Laotian promised that they'll both be there to welcome the twins into the world.

"*sighs* Has he arrived yet?" Giving up, Laura nodded before he looked at Hanlu. Hanlu looked back and shook his head left and right indicating that Mo Laotian hadn't landed yet. It had been 2 hours since the Alpha flew back but there was still no sign of him arriving.

Everyone in the room turned silent, only Daniel's breathing and occasional painful moans were present in the room making each one of them feel nervous but they couldn't do anything. There were no words they could say to convince Daniel. The Omega was surprisingly very stubborn.

"Ahh, he just landed! Big brother just landed!" Hanlu suddenly yelled looking at his phone. When Daniel heard him, his expression turned bright.

"Really? He's here," Daniel said, suddenly his tears started building up.

"Yeah, yes, yes, I'll call him. I'll call him right away," Hanlu said urgently and a little panicky. Everyone instantly felt relieved and waited for the call to connect however Hanlu was just about to pass his cellphone when Daniel's water suddenly burst out earning a panic scream from Daniel and everyone but despite that Daniel still stubbornly reached out the cellphone.

"Laotian! Where are you? Come here quickly! My water just broke, our babies are about to be born," Daniel slightly yelled. This time he had no choice but to let the nurses take him to the delivery room.

"Yes, I'm coming, Honey," Laotian replied in urgency. He just landed at the airport and is now walking towards his service. It should take less than 20 minutes until he reached the hospital as long as there was no traffic.

"Hurry up! I can't delay this any longer, I've been waiting for so long," Daniel whined, holding onto his stomach. And since Laotian wasn't by his side, Ian was the one who happened to be there to support Daniel.

"I'll be there before you know it Honey so for now please let the doctors take care of you, don't be stubborn. I'll assure you that I will be there soon," Laotian said. He could hear the doctors and nurses in the background instructing Daniel to continue his breathing exercise as they prepare him for the birth process.

"I-I'm trying!! But it hurts so much, Laotian. I need you to hold me," Daniel whined again. He was laying on the bed with his legs spread apart while the doctor urged him to push and try to move his muscles. It was painful but this was the birth process that both he and Laotian had agreed upon. Daniel understands it would be a lot painful because he's going to give birth to two babies but he and Laotian wanted a natural birth so they chose this. He had no regrets.

But needless to say, Daniel thought that Laotian would be there for him when the time comes, that the Alpha would support him all throughout the process. Not like this and of course, he didn't expect it was this painful.

"Arrrrggg! Laotian!!!"
