Chapter 1328: "What is it, sweetie?” Eileen sat back down, looking at Gabriela with a puzzled expression.
Gabriela sniffed, squatted down, and poked Eileen's slightly rounded belly. "Mommy, is there a baby in your tummy?" "Yes," Eileen confirmed, carefully watching Gabriela's reaction.

After a moment, Gabriela said, "Mommy, is that why you get all the yummy food and the milk, and why Daddy's being extra nice to you? Because of the baby?" "Yes," Ruby replied. "But it's not just because of the baby. Your Daddy has always been nice to your Mommy, but now, he's being even nicer."

Gabriela said. "It's smelly but yummy!" Gabriela waved her arms excitedly, her little mouth babbling about all her favorite foods.

She dug into her spaghetti. Less than five minutes later, she was done. She hesitated for a second, then hopped off her chair and ran barefoot into the living room. "My tummy's tiny," she declared. “I'm full! No more for me..." Eileen couldn't help but laugh.
