Chapter 258 Portgas D. Ace
Half a month later...
Jinan and his men were guarding in front of a house.
Today is Lujiu's delivery day, and they have been waiting here since early morning.
The early morning sunlight shone through the leaves onto the ground in patches, but the mood of everyone present was extremely nervous, and many people were pacing unconsciously in front of the house.
Many of them watched Lu Jiu's belly grow bigger day by day.
They are also looking forward to the birth of this little life.
His eyes never left the closed door, his heart filled with anxiety and anticipation.
Gan Fule also put down what he was doing and accompanied Jin An.
Although his expression was calm, a hint of worry and nervousness flashed in his eyes from time to time.
Gan Fuer stood quietly behind Jin An.
"Lu Jiu is in perfect physical condition, and she is under the care of the best physician on Sky Island, so nothing will go wrong..."
Jin An nodded. He was much more relaxed than the others. Given the physical constitution of humans in this world, there wouldn't be any major problems with the delivery process.
If Jin'an had not intervened, Lu Jiu would have needed to be pregnant for 20 months to evade the navy's pursuit and give birth to Ace.
Now, without any threats from external factors, it will naturally be no problem for Lu Jiu to give birth to Ace safely.
The occasional whispered conversations and shouts coming from the room made people feel even more anxious.
During the day and night, they stared at the door with their ears pricked up, listening for any movement.
"She'll be fine,"
Ganfor's voice was gentle, but firm.
"Lu Jiu is a strong woman. She will definitely give birth safely."
Ginny took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.
Although she knew that Ganfor was right, the tension in her heart still could not be completely dissipated.
She closed her eyes and recalled the past, Lu Jiu's smile, her tough eyes, and her current cries of pain.
"Is giving birth so painful..."
"I have to ask Big Bear to make some delicious food when I get home, otherwise I won't be able to sleep tonight..."
"..."
Time seemed to become unusually long, as if every second was stretched countless times.
Everyone felt as if they were waiting in endless agony, their feet pacing on the ground unconsciously, trying to ease their inner anxiety.
Suddenly, the silence was broken by the cry of a baby in the room.
People stopped suddenly, with a hint of surprise and nervousness in their eyes.
They turned to look at Ganfor, who also smiled with relief.
"gave birth……"
Ginny murmured, her voice filled with barely contained excitement.
The door finally opened and the doctor who delivered the baby came out with a tired but satisfied smile on his face.
Tian Yueshi and Jinni took a few steps forward, their eyes full of anticipation and anxiety.
"How are you? Are Lu Jiu and the child okay?"
The doctor nodded and smiled and said,
"Mother and child are safe, the mother is strong and the child is healthy."
When Ginny heard this, she finally breathed a sigh of relief, as if a huge burden had been lifted off her shoulders.
She is the one who has spent the longest time with Lu Jiu during this period. Although there is an age difference between her and Lu Jiu, they have now become friends who can talk about anything.
She patted her chest lightly, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
"Thank you, doctor."
The doctor patted her shoulder.
"Let's go in and see them."
Ginny nodded, turned around and walked into the room with Jinan and the others.
In the room, Lu Jiu was lying on the bed, her face pale but her eyes full of tenderness and satisfaction.
In her arms was a tiny baby, sleeping peacefully.
Ginny walked to the bed, gently held Lu Jiu's hand, and asked with concern,
"Lu Jiu, are you okay?"
Lu Jiu smiled and shook her head, looking at the child in her arms, with a gleam of maternal love in her eyes.
"It's nothing serious."
Ginny looked down at the baby, her heart filled with infinite joy. She gently stroked the child's soft little hand, feeling the miracle of life.
"so good......"
Ginny murmured, she was a little envious of Lu Jiu.
That guy Daxiong still hasn't let go of his status and has never dared to express his feelings to her, which makes her angry and distressed.
Seeing Ginny's somewhat sad expression, Lu Jiu gently patted her on the shoulder and gently comforted her:
"Everything will be fine..."
She knew what was going on between Ginny and Big Bear, and although she couldn't give any specific advice, she tried her best to give support and encouragement.
After calming Jinny down, Lu Jiu turned around, looked at Jin An, and said teasingly:
"A busy man actually has time to come here."
Jin An touched his nose and smiled helplessly:
"Haven't I found a lot of friends for you? I don't have time to come over often."
Lu Jiu smiled gently, her eyes full of gratitude.
"Just kidding, it's great that you can take the time to come over."
Jin An nodded and continued:
"Given the relationship between that guy and me, I'll naturally come over to take care of his and your child once it's born."
As soon as these words came out, everyone present pricked up their ears, their eyes filled with curiosity.
They have always been curious about who the father of Lu Jiu's child is.
However, since the person involved never mentioned it, I was too embarrassed to ask directly.
Jin An felt everyone's gaze, smiled slightly, and continued:
"There's nothing to hide, actually. The father of the child is an old friend of mine. We've been through a lot together, so naturally I have to take care of his child."
Lu Jiu nodded slightly and added:
"He's gone now, but I know he would want his child to grow up in a safe, warm environment."
After hearing this, everyone showed expressions of sudden enlightenment, and at the same time a hint of respect.
They understand the deep meaning behind this relationship, and also better understand Jin'an and Lujiu's determination and dedication.
Ginny raised her head and said to Lu Jiu with a firm gaze:
"Sister Lu Jiu, don't worry, I will always be here with you and take care of you and the child."
Lu Jiu smiled and nodded, looking at Ginny gratefully.
"Thank you, Ginny."
"I really feel better with you guys around."
Jin An felt a little comforted when he saw this.
He knew that the company and support of these friends were extremely important to Lu Jiu and the children.
He took a deep breath and said firmly:
"No matter how difficult the future may be, I will always be by your side to protect you."
Lu Jiu looked at Jin An, tears flashing in her eyes, and nodded gently.
"I believe you, Jinan."
"I believe you have heard what Tian Yueshi said. I want you to be the foster father of this child."
"I just want him to live his life happily. When the time comes, I hope you can take care of him."
There was a hint of pleading in her voice at the end.
The only people she can talk to in this world are the friends in front of her.
Jin An smiled and said, "Of course no problem."
"But have you thought of a name for the child?"
Lu Jiu held the child in her arms and spoke softly,
"Ace."
"Portcas D. Ace."
