A NAME

Right after Andrea's recovery, her prenatal check up schedule is already frequent to make sure the baby is developing normally.

"Congratulation Ms. Andrea, you are already on your 2nd semister of pregnancy. I will prescribe a vitamins for the baby's physical development. This time your tummy will grow bigger and you need to do some exercise." Dr. Yap said.

"Thank you for taking good care of me Dr. Yap."

"Well do you want me to give you a request for prenancy exercise to a trusted studio, or do you want to hire a private professional instrucctor?"

"I think I better hire one and ask to come in my house."

"It's settled then. If anything went wrong, make sure to inform me okay?" The doctor said that made Andrea thankful.

A few days after, she's already starting her exercise withe her instructor Heng Ruocheng.

"Ms. Lee your doing great. Just make sure you're not alone when you do some exercise your self."

"Sure Ms. Heng."she answerd.

"Ohhhh! Can you stop calling me formally? Actually I like you! I want to be your friend." She surely like Andrea and it's obvious in her eyes.

"Ahh? You're not straight?" Andrea ask.

"No no! Don't get me wrong. I just fell like you're a good person." She smile shyly.

"Well okay." It's my pleasure to have a friend like you Roucheng?" Andrea ask hesitantly.

"Aiyo! Just call me Belle, that's my english name. So... friends?" She ask extending her right hand for a friendly shake.

"Yes friends! You can call me Andy." They shake hands happily.

"By the way do you have a name for your baby?" Belle ask.

"No have not think of any yet."

"Well i suggest the name Jabez! It's a bible name. What do you think?"

"Isn't he a son born out of wedlock?" Andrea ask with a sour expression.

"Ohhh don't get me wrong! I mean yeah he was born out of wedlock but, he is a strong child, he love, and cared his mother, he is smart and he became the roler of his fellow and soon he gain many followers and expanded his teritory." She explain.

"Really? He such an independent person?" Andrea said questioning her new friend an if trying to pry. Wether she is really a true friend.

"Yeah it's true. Actually Jabez means 'concieve in pain, and delivered in victory'..." she said with her heart as if saying with honesty.

"Sounds like a sad name." Andrea said as if the meaning pricked her heart.

"Yes it does Andy, but, victory and happiness always comes with sadness and pain. Always remember that." Belle said meaningfuly.

"I'll consider that." She said, she really like the name now. Specially when the baby in her tummy kicks after hearing their conversation.

At that moment someone called out from the main door. "Baby Andy how's your day? Is thus your friend?" she ask when she saw that they are talking casually.

"Yeah Grandma. this is Belle my exercise instructor."

"Ohhh nice to meet you young lady, I'm happy that Andrea had someone to talk to when I'm out." the old lady said happily.

"I'm happy to be her friend too."

"Do you want to sit for some tea? I bet you two just finish your session right?" Denise offered happily she liked the attitude of this new young lady she had just met.

"Ohh thanks grandma but I still had an appointment about 6-7pm so i can't accompany you even if I want too." she said in a hurry.

"Then I'll leave first Andy make sure to think of my suggestion okay Grandma bye for now too" Belle walk out and wave them goodbye happily.

When they saw she was gone, they both walk to the balcony. Denise help Andrea to sit in a racking chair and pour some tea that was prepared by their maid.

"Andy do you want to go shopping tomorrow, I'm free."

Denise ask her happily.

"You cannot go out easily in next few moths so we better go and buy while your tummy is still bearable right?" Denise explain but obviously look more excited than the mother.

"Sure Grandma! Sounds fun. let's go tomorrow."

"That's settled then."

They then sip their own drink happily.
