Chapter 92- Protecting her

Reagan thought he would be able to see his siblings after the babies’ gender reveal so he had been waiting patiently.

When the parents popped the balloon and pink confetti fell out, he knew he was having baby sisters instead of brothers.

He got confused when he didn’t see them fall off the balloon too so he searched for them on the ground and asked his mother, “Where are the babies, Mommy?”

The adults laughed at those words, thinking Reagan was so adorable.

“Your sisters will come when they are ready. They are still growing in Mommy’s belly,” Aaron answered.

Reagan’s eyebrows hiked up and almost reached his hairline.

“So how did you know they are girls when you haven’t seen them?” He asked with a curious look on his face.

“Mommy’s doctor told us. When your sisters are ready to meet us, I’ll take Mommy to the hospital and the doctor will help to remove them from Mommy’s belly,” Aaron explained.

Suddenly, Tessa yelped, clutching her left side. Aaron carefully held her waist and asked, “Are you ok, love?”

Tessa who had just been kicked in the ribs by one of the babies took in a sharp breath. She nodded, replying, “Yes, I’m fine. One of the babies kicked me so hard. They must be feeling cramped up.”

Aaron got on his knee and kissed her big belly. He then placed his hand on her belly and rubbed it, saying, “Hi, babies. This is Daddy. Don’t hurt Mommy, ok?”

Willa rushed to her mother and rubbed her huge bump. She looked at her with watery eyes and asked, “Did the babies hurt you, Mommy?”

Tessa smiled and nodded, “No, they didn’t. But their kicking hurt.”

Willa rubbed her stomach like the way her father did and whispered to Tessa’s bump, saying, Babies, stop hurting our Mommy, ok?”

The adults laughed at this. Tessa and Aaron’s kids were so cute that they gave the other single adults baby fever.

While watching this beautiful scene, Tony thought to himself, ‘I want a baby.”

A few days later…

Celia Wentworth was seated in a cafe, waiting for someone. She had asked Tony to meet her during lunch hour because she had something to ask him.

A tall figure entered the cafe and smiled the moment he saw Celia seated next to the floor-to- ceiling glass walls. This man was none other than, Tony Hendrix. The man Celia was waiting for. Smiling, he approached her and took a seat opposite her.
