“They saw the harm it had done to us”: Mélanie and Franck Gonzalez (Large families) fear their children's reaction to the announcement of the mother's pregnancy
“Here's the little secret we've been keeping to ourselves for a few weeks, a new baby on the way“, announces Mélanie Gonzalez in the first episodes of Large families. If the news should be received with joy and good humor, both parents prefer not to get carried away: “She is eight weeks and three days pregnant and everything is going great.“, affirms Franck, while his wife replies: “We leave this meeting relieved, afterward we don't jump everywhere because we still have several steps to go through“. The couple prefers not to have false hopes, after having had a series of bad news during Mélanie Gonzalez's last pregnancies. “We have not passed the famous three months which are fateful, but overall we are moving away from the moment when Mélanie had her miscarriage, so that is reassuring“, assures the dad all the same. For eight weeks, Mélanie and Franck kept the presence of this ninth baby a secret before announcing it to their eight other children. On the way home, Mélanie and Franck worry: “We fear the children's reaction because the adults were aware of the miscarriages that Mélanie had last year and they saw the harm it had done to us, so I think they may have a little reluctance about everything. That“, explains the father. The children's reaction will be broadcast in future episodes of Large families.
