Turning Of the Tide by Diana Sander

Because Rose wanted to give birth at the base, Natalie had been sleeping at the base for the past few days.

Trevon took care of the three children at halone. Trevon was now skilled in taking care of children so he did not encounter many problems.

That morning, Rose started to have contractions after eating breakfast. Her cervix opened faster this tcompared to the first time.

Grace accompanied Rose to give birth to her first child, but Rose didn't ask Grace to cwith her this time. She didn't want Grace's heart to ache twice, and she didn't let Edward accompany her either because she didn't want Edward to be traumatized.

In the end, Sherri applied for leave, and she and Natalie accompanied Rose. Ava wanted to enter but was rejected by Rose.

Rose went in at half past eight in the morning, and she already delivered the child two hours later. Sherri pushed open the door of the operating theater to announce the good news. There was a group of people standing outside the door. She glanced at her father, mother, brother, and the Roberts family. "It's a boy. He's around 6 pounds." Hearing this, Ava smiled foolishly at Frank. "Frank, | guessed correctly, but Rose might have regrets." Edward also smiled. "It's fine. She'll be fine in a few days." Everyone in the family knew that Rose wanted a daughter. When Rose saw Ava's daughter, Natalie's twin daughters, and especially Sherri's daughter, she was extremely envious. She kept saying that her second child must be a daughter.

Juana turned around and instructed Edward, "A son is good. Edward, if Rose is disappointed later, advise her not to be sad. Do you understand? You must take care of the feelings of a woman who has just given birth. She can't be too sad." Edward nodded.

In the operating theater, Rose looked at the little guy who was not wearing pants. The lower half of his body was especially eye-catching. She sighed repeatedly.

Natalie carried the child in her arms. She had just put on clothes for the baby when she turned to look at Rose and asked, "What kind of postpartum reaction is this? Don't you have anything to say?" Sherri shrugged with a smile and helped Rose up. She helped to explain, "She's sighing because she didn't give birth to a daughter. | wanted to tell her a few times during her pregnancy, but she refused to lettell her." Natalie knew what it felt like and comforted her. "Rose, daughters are not necessarily better than sons. Just look at Sophia. | have an endless amount of cleaning up to do every day. She's much naughtier than boys. Every day when | go home, I'm afraid that my mother-in-law will tellwhat Sophia did today." Natalie did not stop helping Rose's child to put on his clothes as she spoke. "A few days ago, Trevon bought a car wash gun for both children. The detergent sprayed out by the gun was foam-like and pink. It could cover the entire car. Sophia found it very fun. From morning to night, she washed the Mustang eight times. It was so clean that it reflected the light. Even the flies slipped on it." Everyone in the operating theater burst into laughter. Everyone in the base knew that Natalie's daughter was very naughty, but they didn't expect her to be this naughty. Just when everyone thought that she had only washed the car eight times, Natalie refreshed everyone's horizons again.

Rose was laughing so hard that she was bending over. The delivery of her baby was eventful this time.

Throughout the entire process, Natalie and Sherri eased the atmosphere. The two of them worked together like a duo. It was so funny.

Seeing everyone bending over with laughter, Natalie said calmly, "If you think that's all, it means that you don't know just how naughty my daughter is. After dinner, Sophia disappeared. We thought that she was hiding upstairs practicing darts. The two cars at the door were both there, so we didn't look for her. The next day, my father-in-law and Trevon almost went to the company using public transport. All the cars in the garage were sprayed pink, and not a single car was spared. In the end, Jim picked them up. This is the first tJasper has been late since he started school. It's all thanks to Sophia." Rose laughed for a while. In her mind, she was imagining the entire garage covered in pink bubbles. "I suddenly feel that having a son is quite good. Harper is also very naughty and always causes trouble. For example, he stuffed sausages into the cooking oil and poured the entire packet of detergent into the washing machine.

However, it's still not comparable to Sophia." The nurse said, "After what you said, | don't even dare to get a boyfriend anymore." Natalie comforted the nurse. "Don't be nervous. People like Sophia are different. For example, the daughter of Dr.

Landor, who ruined today, is an angel." When Sherri heard this, she laughed and retorted, "How rude! What do you mean, ruined today? Letremind you that the boat of friendship is swaying." "You, Athana's obstetrician-gynecologist, cto my base to outperform me. Didn't you ruin today?" Natalie retorted with a smile. The two of them laughed out loud. In fact, they wanted to accompany Rose as she delivered her baby.

Rose still needed to be observed for another hour, and she was bored. "Natalie, tellmore interesting things about Sophia. | think she's quite cute." Sherri exposed, "Sophia's boldness is partly because of Old Trevon's pampering." Natalie nodded. "That makes sense. One is always on the path of education but also the path of cheating, and the other is always on the path of making mistakes and recognizing mistakes. The father and daughter have never been surpassed in terms of correcting themselves." In order to make Rose happy, Natalie began to recall what her daughter had done to make her angry. "Let's talk about a few days ago. Sophia and my father-in-law found a stray dog at the door of the Wilson's residence when they were out for a walk. She asked my father-in-law if she could bring it hto raise it. My father-in-law didn't agree and toldabout it when he returned home. In the end, the next day, when | went to the wardrobe to help her get her clothes, | found that there were a lot of clothes missing. Not only were her clothes missing, but Jasper and Olivia's clothes were also missing." The nurses asked, "Did Sophia give all the clothes to the stray dogs?" Natalie nodded with a helpless expression. "Yes, she found a cardboard box and stuffed all the new clothes into the box so that the puppy could sleep. She even took ssnacks from home. She was afraid that the puppy wouldn't be able to open the packaging, so she even carefully opened all the snacks." Natalie recalled what Sophia said when she asked Sophia why she took her brother's clothes and sister's clothes.

Sophia said that her clothes were too small, her brother's clothes were too big, and her sister's clothes were light in color. Natalie was so furious. She then went to the box and found six pieces of clothes. Sophia only took one of her clothes, three of Jasper's clothes, and two of Olivia's clothes.

Sherri explained, "But you can't punish her. No matter what, Sophia is still kind-hearted and loves small animals.

This is the reason why you're frustrated. You can only suck it up and tell yourself that Sophia is your child. All you can do is tell her that she can't do this in the future." Rose was imagining what a kennel covered in expensive children's clothes looked like. This dog might have saved the Milky Way in its previous life to be able to live in such a luxurious house and have imported snacks in this life. "Sophia is too cute." Rose laughed.

Natalie sighed. "Three days and three nights aren't enough to tell you all the things that Sophia has done.

Yesterday, | bought her a pair of white shoes to match her clothes. When | got home, the shoes were green." Everyone was speechless. Natalie had to worry about so much at work, especially what would happen when she got home.

"Therefore, there's nothing bad about having sons. At least Jasper is much less troublesthan Sophia." After talking about Sophia, Natalie hugged the child and looked at him carefully. "This child looks like Edward.

He's very quiet and only cried when he was born." Rose said, "It's good that he's like my husband. Otherwise, I'll be busy enough if he's like Harper." After the observation period ended, Rose was pushed to the luxury ward.

In the ward, everyone was asking how Rose was feeling. Frank stood by his sister's bed and observed her for stime. He felt that his sister was in a good state, so he carried the child to see his nephew.

Ava bent down and placed her hands on her knees. She lowered her head and leaned closer to the cradle. "Rose, the baby looks so much like Edward." Rose said, "They all say so. Hubby, see if he looks like you." Edward glanced at Rose. He originally thought that he had to comfort his wife, but there was no disappointment on Rose's face and she seemed quite happy. "Okay, I'll go take a look. Lie down and rest for a while." Harper ran to the cradle and pulled down the little guy's pants. He was dumbfounded and frowned. The next second, his actions made everyone laugh. No one stopped Harper as they all wanted to see what he was going to do.

Harper pulled down his pants and looked down. He compared himself to the baby and asked curiously, "Where's sister?" As soon as he said this, smiles of varying degrees appeared on everyone's faces. Frank could not help but smile, thinking that Rose must have brainwashed Harper a lot during her pregnancy.

Juana was the happiest. Grace was smiling as she looked at her grandson. William was holding Nona in his arms, and his smile gradually widened.

Rose smiled at his son's dumbfounded expression and replied, "Sister has mutated." Everyone was speechless.

Ava thought, 'The word mutation seems to work too. It's a chromosomal mutation.’ Edward saw that his son was in a daze and clearly did not understand Rose's words. He walked over and explained patiently, "Mom means that you didn't get a sister but a brother instead. Do you like brothers?" Harper blinked as if he didn't quite understand what was going on. He wondered how his sister beca brother. He looked at the child in the cradle. It was quite cute. "I do." Edward patted his son's head lovingly and reminded him, "You can't touch your brother's eyes. You can only hold his little hand. You have to be very gentle, understand?" Harper nodded, but Juana still decided that it was safer to keep watch over Harper.

Ava was very sensible and wanted her mother-in-law to take care of Rose. "Grace, stay and take care of Rose.

Frank and | can take care of Nona and Cyril." Frank said, "Yes, listen to Baby Ava. The company hasn't been very busy recently." Upon hearing this, Rose waved her hand. "No need. My son and | both love the bed. We sleep all day long.

What's there to take care of? It's not a big deal." She still wanted to have a daughter. She didn't say this out loud for fear of scaring Edward. She only glanced at Edward from the corner of her eye.

Finally, under Rose's insistence, Grace returned to the Roberts family to take care of the twins. Edward and Juana stayed to take care of Rose. Rose said that after being discharged, Edward could go back to work.

After Rose fell asleep, the Roberts family left.

In the car, Ava held Grace's wrist in the backseat and said intimately, "Mom, even if you cover tonight, Rose won't be angry. Go back and wash up before coming over." Grace was gratified that her daughter-in-law was sensible. She patted Ava's hand. "No need. She has her own opinions. I'll just visit her every day." Grace wanted to respect her daughter's wishes and follow her arrangements. "Don't worry. She can take care of herself. She has Edward." Ava nodded. "Alright, then Frank and | will visit Rose every day as well." Grace replied, "Okay." Frank disagreed with this idea. "At most, you can visit every day while she's in the hospital. | wouldn't be surprised if she changed her confinement to a party." Frank knew his sister too well.

It would be weird if Rose could rest well this way. As long as someone was chatting with her, she would not sleep.

Ava thought, 'That makes sense. This seems like something that Rose would do. It's better to listen to Frank." William advised, "Ava, don't think too much. We'll decide according to the situation. If Rose's newborn isn't as easy to take care of, just like Cyril, your mother can still make it in time. If he eats, sleeps, and eats like Nona, then it's the sif we visit more often." Grace patted her daughter-in-law's hand. "Yes, your father is right. Don't think too much." Ava leaned her head on Grace's shoulder and replied, "Alright."
