Jade was kicking herself again, wishing she'd just listened to Andre's proposed punishment before making any decisions. "Andre, I'm not married off yet, so you're still in charge of me," she said, trying to sound hopeful. Andre, ever serious, didn't crack a smile. "Crunches, two hundred of them."

Molly, with a bit of resignation, added, "Well, Chad, since we're married, you're the only one who can boss me around now, legally speaking."

Chad, with a laid-back smile, ignored Molly's protest. He got up, walked over to Andre, and after a brief look, scooped up Andre's cherished little boy. "Let Uncle Chad have a cuddle, Henry," he cooed.

Mia and Molly instantly forgot their jealousy, now envying the speechless little bundle of joy.

After some time, Hansen, eager to see his daughter and son-in-law off, practically escorted them out of the Cedillo family's front door. "Chad, try not to bring Molly around to your in-laws too often, alright?" he advised. Chad glanced at his wife, who seemed to have overstayed her welcome just by being there for a day. "Dad, we're heading out now," he reassured Hansen.

Hansen waved them off, adding, "And don't forget to supervise her crunches, one hundred of them. Stick to your guns."

Molly bit her lip, feeling like she wasn't her daddy's little girl anymore.
