"What are you talking about?" Lena laughed after a moment of pause.

Chris and Toph arrived at the hospital to find Lina half-leaning against the bedside. Zuko looked tense, but his joy
was evident in his smile. Nicholas, Linda, Zephyr, Cordelia, Jesse, and Melissa were all present.
Even Dave, who hardly ever skipped any classes, had skipped a very important class today.
Everyone was filled with happy smiles.
Toph was momentarily stunned, looking around. "W-What's going on?"
"Come over here, Toph!" Cordelia waved to him. "You're going to be an uncle!"
"What?" Toph was both surprised and delighted.
Zuko handed him a test report—he had clutched it like a treasure for quite a while before Toph came to the

There was an ultrasound image on it, but Toph could not make out what it was even after staring at it for a while.
Below the image were various professional terms that he did not understand either.
What he did understand was the last few words—Pregnant, 6 weeks.
Lena walked in, having just returned from the Thompsons' place to fetch Lina a pair of soft, flat shoes.
Lina smiled apologetically. "It's just a small thing, yet it alarmed all of you."
"This isn't a small thing!" Linda and Cordelia chimed in together. "This is a momentous occasion!"
"Exactly!" Toph patted his big brother's shoulder and gave him a thumbs-up. "Well done! You're about to level up!
When my little nephew is born, he has to learn to call me Uncle Toph first!"
Zuko was speechless. He glanced at his father and smiled. "Well... maybe it's going to be a niece!"
"No, no, no. It's definitely going to be a nephew!" Toph laughed carelessly. "I'll train my little nephew to play games,
and we'll win all the games together in the futur— Mmph!"
Zuko quickly covered his mouth. Actually, he really hoped for a cute little girl too!
"Toph!" He gritted his teeth. "Can you speak less?"
Everyone burst into laughter.
Chris quietly approached Lena and held her hand.
Lena looked at him, her usually aloof gaze revealing rare tenderness. She wore a light pink top and a white skirt
today. Her natural beauty shone without needing any emphasis.
"Lenny..." Chris was captivated and leaned closer to say something, but she suddenly rushed over to Lina.
Chris had not figured out what was happening yet when he saw Lena place an additional cushion behind Lina,
making her more comfortable.
Chris glanced at Zuko helplessly. "Whose wife exactly is Pammy?"

Chris rolled his eyes. "Take care of your own wife!"
Cordelia and Linda exchanged looks and chuckled. "Chris, we're lucky to have Lena today."
"What happened?"
Cordelia said, "Pammy wasn't feeling well at work today. Luckily, Lena passed by her office and noticed, so she went
upstairs to check on her occasionally. When she saw that Pammy wasn't looking good, she immediately brought her
to the hospital!"
"No wonder!" Chris laughed. "Lenny called me, asking me to rush to the hospital. I thought something big had
happened. Turns out it wasn't her, but Pammy's good news!"
Renee knocked on the door and came in as well. As soon as she saw Lina, she smiled and congratulated her, giving
her a big hug.
Toph approached Renee, but she gave him the cold shoulder.
