Chapter 1071

A couple of hours after that awkward conversation, Alden, Serenity, Isabelle, and Laura were on their way home. After all the advice from the OB-GYN and the pediatrician, the new little family was finally heading back.

Serenity was filled with mixed emotions. In her arms, she held her baby-yes, her baby-the one who would now be her responsibility for the rest of her life.

She was nervous. It was one thing to take care of her little brother John, or to look after Adele, or the twin boys, or Peter's twin girls, or even Ethan, who was six years old-that was all different.

This was something else entirely. Having a baby that was her complete responsibility was something else altogether. Serenity was filled with conflicting feelings she was hiding well, but deep down, they terrified her.

The moment the nurse handed her baby to her and she signed all those documents confirming she was taking the right, healthy baby home-it all started to make her panic. As a first-time mom, she thought about how movies always romanticized these moments, but the reality... the reality was something else.

Being handed a new life to take care of it was overwhelming. That thought stayed with her the entire ride home. And as if Alden could read her mind, when they arrived, he opened the back door, helped her out of the car, and pulled her into a tight hug.

"Everything's going to be okay... Our little Isabelle is going to be just fine."

"You think so?"

"I'm completely sure of it."

"I'm scared..." Serenity whispered, just loud enough for her husband to hear.

"You don't have to be. I'm here with you, and together we'll make it all work out. Don't worry. Come on, let's go... It's time for Ethan to meet his little sister."
