Apocalyptic World: Surviving with my husband and my cute little babies Chapter 139: Announcing

"What happened?" General Kaiser asked, noticing the anxious expression on the military personnel’s faces.

"There are mutated rats spotted among the pests that appeared suddenly," General Reid explained.

Many of them were rampaging around the old abandoned warehouse, and if not controlled, they might enter the military residential building.

The worst part was that it was difficult to kill them, as bullets seed ineffective against them.

"The bullets are still effective on the smaller mutated animals; you just need to hit them multiple tis to penetrate their defenses. A powerful explosive can also kill them instantly," General Kaiser suggested based on his previous experience.

The military leaders took his suggestion seriously and quickly ford a squadron to eliminate the mutated pests in the warehouse.

Days had passed, the prestige of the Paradise Shop quickly spread among the buildings in Cal Tower, prompting more residents to visit.

It beca so popular that people began to queue in long lines, causing confusion for those who didn’t know what was happening.

Many initially thought it was a governnt relief operation, but when they realized it was a private shop selling supplies, they quickly returned to their hos to gather more funds.

By dawn, they had managed to serve everyone, prompting Elena to decide that they would only entertain custors before midnight from then on.

While she needed jades and antiques, she understood that it wasn’t worth sacrificing their health to achieve it.

Her team still needed to rest well, as the situation was becoming increasingly dangerous. They had to be in good shape to fight back.

"Good job today! Rest now; we will continue once everyone is well-rested," Elena said.

Everyone nodded, tired from their activities but feeling accomplished, having gathered a significant amount of jades and antiques.

The next day, Elena and Ethan finally decided to reveal her pregnancy after a thorough check-up.

Ethan was more excited than his wife, imagining the shocked expressions of everyone as he bragged about becoming a dad.

"Let’s have breakfast first. What dishes do you want this ti?" he asked.

"I’m craving sweet and sour foods," Elena replied.

"Alright, sit down," Ethan said with a smile.

He prepared a variety of dishes, allowing his wife to choose what the baby might want.

There were Sweet and Sour Chicken, Mango Salsa, Citrus Salad, Sweet and Sour Cabbage Slaw, and Pineapple Fried Rice.

To accompany the al, he made Cucumber juice, which had beco Elena’s favorite drink.

Ethan prepared plenty so she could enjoy it whenever she wanted.

Seeing his wife eat with gusto filled Ethan with contentnt. This was the life he wanted—simple and sincere.

’If only the disaster hadn’t co and they could live peacefully, it would have been perfect.’

But there were no ’ifs’ in this world.

As the world changed around them, he knew he had to adapt and redouble his efforts so that his wife wouldn’t have to carry the burden alone.

Afterwards, they went to Grandpa Caldwell’s unit and gathered everyone for an announcent.

Confusion spread across the faces of the mbers as they tried to guess what disaster they would face this ti.

Once everyone was settled in the living room, Elena began to speak. "Why the long faces? What I’m about to announce is not about a disaster."

Now, everyone was intrigued, eager to know what the announcent would be.

"Well, I am pregnant."

Everyone paused and then looked at Elena’s belly with wide eyes. Their expressions were synchronized, making Elena chuckle a little.

"You’re pregnant? Does this an I’m going to have great-grandchildren?" Grandpa Caldwell exclaid.

"Yes, Grandpa," Ethan confird proudly. "And I’m going to be a dad."

Cheers and congratulations erupted from the group, filling the room with warmth and joy.

This news brought them hope amidst the ongoing disaster, as a new life would soon be born. They were equally excited for Elena and Ethan.

"Thank you, everyone! Let’s have dinner to celebrate," Ethan suggested.

It was a perfect opportunity for everyone to relax and enjoy the mont together.

On the other hand, the kids, especially little Mia, were confused about why the adults were so happy while surrounding her sister Elena.

She went to her Grandma Ford and asked, "Gwandma, why is evewyone so happy?"

"Well, your sis Ele will soon have a baby, and you will beco their aunt," Grandma Ford gently explained, patting her head.

"Baby! Where is the baby?" Little Mia exclaid, dashing towards Elena to see the baby.

Grandma Ford wanted to stop and explain further, but Little Mia had already run to Elena’s side.

"Sis Ewe, Sis Ewe!" Little Mia called out, seeking her attention.

Elena was so happy to see little Mia healthy and energetic. She held her small hands and replied, "Yes, Little Mia."

"Sis Ewe, where is the baby?" Little Mia asked, her innocent eyes wide with expectation.

"The baby is still in my belly, and it will be born when the ti cos," Elena explained, smiling at her curiosity.

"When is that?" Little Mia asked, tilting her head, her brows furrowing in thought.

Elena chuckled softly and took little Mia to sit on the sofa.

"Well, the baby will co out in a few months. Right now, the baby is growing and getting stronger inside my belly."

Little Mia’s eyes sparkled with wonder. "The baby is inside your tummy?"

"Exactly!" Elena said, her heart warming at Mia’s enthusiasm.

"And when the baby arrives, you’ll be the best big sister ever! You can help take care of them, and we can play together."

Little Mia clapped her hands, her face lighting up with joy.

"I can’t wait to et the baby! I’ll be the best auntie! Sis Ewe, can I touch your tummy? I want to tawk to the baby."

Elena laughed and placed Little Mia’s hands on her belly. "Alright, Little Mia can talk now. The baby is listening."

"Baby, co out soon so Auntie can hug and pway with you. I love you!" Little Mia said excitedly.

Everyone laughed at Little Mia’s antics, enjoying the sweet mont together.

But their joyful gathering was interrupted when little Koby scread, pointing at the balcony.

"Look! Look! There are a lot of them!" he shouted, his eyes wide with fear.
