"Dr. Kate, what are the results of the checkup?" Cameron Diaz asked with concern.
Dr. Kate put down her stethoscope and the pregnancy test stick, her face beaming with joy. "She's pregnant. It's been over two months already. Congratulations."
A look of surprise and delight appeared on Naomi Watts' face. She was finally pregnant, finally about to become a mother.
Based on the timing, it was probably during the start of their global trip, when they were intimate more frequently so it happened.
Cameron Diaz was also very happy upon hearing the news and quickly congratulated Naomi Watts. "Congratulations, Naomi. I'm so jealous of you."
Naomi Watts responded graciously, "Michelle, it'll be your turn soon too. Since we can get pregnant, it proves our bodies are all fine."
For a long time before, the lack of pregnancy had been due not only to the Ladrani family genes but also because Gilbert and the women had deliberately used precautions to avoid it.
But starting from last year, they had stopped taking special contraceptive measures, and finally this year, Naomi Watts became pregnant.
"That bastard," Cameron Diaz gritted her teeth, thinking about whether she should drain Gilbert dry tonight.
Dr. Kate reminded her, "Naomi, getting pregnant at your age does carry certain risks, so be mindful of your diet and make sure to keep moving."
Dr. Kate went through a whole list of precautions. Cameron Diaz called over Head maid and had her write everything down.
Scarlett pouted. Although her sister Naomi was pregnant, she didn't feel as happy as she had imagined maybe that was jealousy.
Previously, Scarlett's friend Molly had asked her, "Why are you still willing to stay with Director Gilbert when he has so many women around him?"
Scarlett's answer at the time had been: "Outstanding people are always surrounded by others. I've watched Gilbert succeed again and again since I was young.
In my eyes, no one is more excellent, more remarkable, or more worthy of my heart than him."
Scarlett's situation was a special case. Perhaps due to her family background, she had developed a bit of an Electra complex. And once Gilbert entered her life, Scarlett could no longer see any other man.
After all, guys her age just seemed immature, and in this world, there was basically no one better than Gilbert.
Those wealthier than Gilbert weren't as young as him, and those younger weren't as talented. As for people more talented well, there simply wasn't anyone more talented than Gilbert.
Cameron Diaz didn't overthink it. Aside from Naomi Watts, she was considered the big sister among the women, and her relationship with Gilbert went back even further than Naomi's.
She was genuinely happy for Naomi Watts. She quickly called Charlize Theron and Jennifer Connelly, who were both filming elsewhere.
Charlize Theron had just finished filming Monster and was currently hiding away to get back into shape and restore her looks. She didn't want Gilbert to see her looking unattractive she wouldn't show her face until she transformed back.
Jennifer Connelly had just had a summer release and was now filming Bruce Almighty, working with Jim Carrey and Morgan Freeman.
It was worth mentioning that Jennifer Connelly had snatched the female lead role in Bruce Almighty away from Jennifer Aniston.
It turned out that being Brad Pitt's wife and the fame brought by Friends couldn't compare to Gilbert giving producer Roger Birnbaum a single phone call.
When the two women heard from Cameron Diaz that Naomi Watts was pregnant, they were incredibly envious.
Charlize Theron sped up her recovery so she could return sooner. Jennifer Connelly planned to take a few days off to visit and also to wring a little more out of Gilbert. She wanted a baby too.
The atmosphere at the Melon Manor was filled with joy. Before long, Gilbert returned with Anne Hathaway.
Naomi Watts looked at Gilbert with watery eyes and a blissful, sweet smile. Her hand unconsciously rested on her belly.
"How did it go?" Gilbert asked with concern.
"She's definitely pregnant. Dr. Kate confirmed it," Cameron Diaz answered from the side.
"That's wonderful," Gilbert said, taking three steps in two and quickly rushing to Naomi Watts' side, pressing his ear against her belly as if trying to listen.
Naomi Watts chuckled, "It's just a little over two months. You can't hear anything yet, okay?"
"You can't?" Gilbert grinned sheepishly. He and Naomi Watts exchanged a look, and a warmth called 'family' began to rise between them.
"All right, all right," Cameron Diaz took charge. "It's getting late. You two should get some rest!"
She shooed Scarlett and Anne Hathaway off to their rooms, then said to Gilbert, "Tonight, you keep Naomi company. I'm going to bed."
With that, she didn't wait for Gilbert or Naomi Watts to respond and went straight to her room.
Gilbert and Naomi Watts both understood that Cameron Diaz was giving them more alone time. After all, now that she was pregnant, Naomi Watts needed Gilbert more than ever.
After a simple wash-up, Gilbert and Naomi Watts lay on the bed. For once, they didn't do anything just held each other.
Gilbert inhaled the fragrance of Naomi Watts' golden hair while Naomi's fingers traced circles on his chest.
"Darling,"
"Hmm?"
"Do you think it'll be a boy or a girl?"
"We don't know yet."
"Which would you prefer?"
"I'd love either one…"
Naomi Watts lifted her head and asked again, "Then have you thought of names for the baby?"
"Hmm… If it's a boy, let's call him Ilian. If it's a girl, how about Tilly?" Gilbert thought for a moment and said.
"Alright then," Naomi Watts cheerfully buried her head into Gilbert's chest, feeling extremely safe.
Finally, she had fulfilled her dream of becoming a mother. She was truly happy.
Although Gilbert preferred to keep things low-key, some relatives and close friends still had to be informed. Aunt Meryl, who lived in San Francisco, came straight from the city upon hearing the news.
Aunt Meryl moved directly into Melon Manor and took care of Naomi Watts until she gave birth.
When the old man found out Naomi Watts was pregnant, he, who never went to church to pray, surprisingly made a rare visit to the church to do just that.
The old man even invited a priest to bless Naomi Watts.
Meanwhile, good friends like Leo, Matt Damon, and Sofia Coppola called to send their regards.
Leo even rushed to volunteer as the child's godfather. But upon hearing that Robert Iger and Doug Walter were also interested in the role, he gave up.
However, Leo still promised that once the baby was born, he would prepare a big and generous gift.
Tom Cruise came over personally with his daughter Suri and said to Gilbert, "If it's a girl, then they'll be sisters. If it's a boy, then let's make it an arranged engagement."
Gilbert felt helpless. "Tom, shouldn't you at least ask Suri how she feels?"
"She'll definitely be happy. Suri, isn't that right?" Tom Cruise turned to his daughter.
Suri, who was distracted by a fascinating new toy, hadn't been paying attention to what Tom Cruise had said, and simply nodded her head.
"See? Suri doesn't object."
"Uh..." Gilbert still replied, "Let's wait until the kids grow up to talk about this!"
The news of Naomi Watts' pregnancy wasn't shared with the public. Although it was a rare and joyful event, Gilbert and Naomi Watts didn't want to share it with anyone beyond close friends and family.
And because Naomi Watts was pregnant, Gilbert put work aside and stayed at home with her for over a week.
However, as he had many responsibilities, even though he wanted to stay longer, Naomi Watts persuaded him to return to work.
He had already taken quite a break. Aside from the release of Flipped, Gilbert was also busy preparing for Pirates of the Caribbean.
