Briana was startled when the door suddenly opened. She was about to kiss Jack passionately on the lips. It's a good thing she was able to stop at the nick of time, or else it would be super humiliating if they caught her kissing a comatose person, even if that person was the father of her unborn baby.
"Daughter, time is up! Rosita is coming home. You better leave now before she comes home," George said urgently.
"I understand, Father," Briana responded with a heavy sigh. "Um, can you please leave me for a few minutes, please? I just want to say goodbye privately to Jack," she requested.
"Aright, we will wait outside. Hurry up, daughter!" George said with a hint of panic in his voice.
"OK!" Briana nodded her head.
On the 9th month of Briana's pregnancy.Scott has been regularly sleeping on the couch at Briana's house for the past two weeks, anticipating her delivery at any moment."You can go back to your house and sleep there tonight," Briana said while putting another slice of sweet mango in her mouth.Scott shakes his head. "No. I'll sleep here at your place every night. You might give birth at any moment. You need somebody to drive you to the birthing home," he insisted."Fine, as you say so." Briana sighed and continued eating the mango that he had brought home for her. Although she wants him to focus on himself more, she is grateful for his help. She was feeling assured that when she gave birth to her baby, she wouldn't
Meanwhile, at Jack's residence, George broke the news to his wife while they were inside Jack's room.."My daughter is already in labor and is currently staying in the private room of Mother's Joy Birthing Home. She's preparing to give birth to our grandson. Do you want to see her photos, wife?" he offered.Rosita shook her head. "No need. It's enough that you told me about it."George sighed and put his phone back in the pocket of his shorts."Who is she with in that room?" Rosita asked curiously."Scott is with her right now. I'm so grateful for that awesome guy. He takes care of my daughter even if they are not officially a couple yet," George said.
After a light breakfast of an egg sandwich and banana and resting for a few minutes, Briana resumed walking around the room to speed up the dilation of her cervix while at the same time frequently wincing due to the pain of contraction in her lower abdomen.At 10:00 in the morning, Dr. Abigail and the nurses come for a checkup. "Dear, get back into bed, and I'll check your cervix," she ordered gently. The other women who came a few hours late to the birthing home already gave birth early in the morning, but Briana is still unable to deliver. But sometimes women can go into labor for several days; it's something that she was trying to avoid happening to her patient."OK." Briana lay down on the bed, feeling so tired and sore down there.Dr. Abigail checked her cervix. "De
After enjoying bonding with his cute grandson and taking lots of photos and videos of the newborn, George finally bid goodbye to his daughter. He wants to stay longer at the birthing home to be with them on this special occasion, but he was also thinking of his wife alone in the house with no one to assist her with Jack. Besides, he's been gone for a few hours already; it's time to go home!He's been thankful that his wife didn't order him to go home quickly. He was actually surprised by her complete understanding of the situation. Maybe the baby has softened her heart already.If that is the case, then the baby is the miracle that he's been waiting for that could melt his wife's cold heart, paving the way to reconciliation between the two most important women in his life. That's always been his wish, ever since the feud with
On the third day of Briana's stay in the birthing home, they were scheduled to leave the establishment at 6:00 in the evening, but they can leave early if they want.George arrived at 1:30 in the afternoon, looking forward to accompanying his daughter home with the newborn baby.When he arrived there, Briana was busy folding her clothes and putting them in the bags while Scott was holding the baby in his arms."Hello, guys! I'm back!" George cheerfully announced his presence in the room."Hi, Uncle!" Scott conveyed his greetings."Hi, Dad!" Briana glanced briefly at her father and continued packing her things.
Scott left the office at 5:30 in the afternoon and returned home, excited to inform the father and daughter that Rosita had finally given permission for Briana and her baby to return to Jack's residence.When he arrived at the house, the father and daughter were busy bonding with baby Andrew.Scott settled on the sofa. "I have wonderful news for you, guys!"Briana and George looked at Scott with curiosity shimmering in their eyes."What good news, son?" George asked, eager to hear some good news about anything.Briana's brow furrowed, trying to guess in her mind what the good news was all about.Scott smiled triumphantly. "I just had a meeting with Auntie Rosita before I came here, and I asked her a favor if she would be so kind to allow Briana and baby Andrew to return to the Erros Building to be with Sir Jack. And guess what her answer was?"George asked curiously, "And? What did she reply to you?""She answered yes!" Scott said, looking at Briana. "She wants me to tell you that you
The following day.Briana was preparing lunch in the kitchen while baby Andrew was sleeping in his crib in the corner within her view.She's slowly recuperating from the soreness in her lower region and performing household chores slowly so as not to overwhelm her recovering body.Her pantry was stocked with one week's worth of food and diapers for her newborn, so she has nothing to worry about. Besides, Scott is just a phone call away whenever she needs his help. Even though he was already reporting back to work, he called her every hour to check on her and the baby. He was amazed by Scott's degree of concern for her and her son, despite the fact that he was hurting inside due to their impending parting.Scott has
At 8:00 in the morning, Scott, fully dressed for work, stood outside the gate as he rang the bell, wanting to see Briana and the baby before going his way.He had already rung the doorbell five times, but no one had opened the gate yet. Where is Briana?Worried about what was going on inside the house, he placed a call to Briana on his phone.She replied after a few minutes. 'Hello, Scott?''Yup, it's me! Are you still sleeping? I've rung the doorbell several times already. I'm worried about you. Are you okay?' he asked.'Yup, I'm fine. I'm just feeling tired, sleepy, and exhausted because my son woke me up in the middle of the night and refused to go back to s
Meanwhile, at the Erros Building in Brisham City...Jack, George, and Rosita were already waiting for Briana's return. The table in the dining room was laden with delicious foods as a celebration of her much-anticipated return back into the family fold.The trio was in the living room, watching TV and browsing their phones while waiting for Briana's arrival.Half an hour later.Suddenly, Jack's phone rang; the caller was Briana. "Babe, where are you now?""I'm already outside the building. I hope I'm not late," she said breathlessly, exiting her car and rushing to the building."I'm coming down to meet you!" Jack put his phone in the pocket of his jeans and came running to the door. He was gone in the blink of an eye.George and Rosita looked at each other and smiled."They're really meant for each other," Rosita commented casually while nuzzling baby Andrew's tiny feet."Indeed!" George seconded. "I think our sacrifice is worth it."Rosita smiled. "I think so."Downstairs, Jack and Br
The day that Briana was scheduled to leave the farm finally arrived. Scott's house was enveloped in a gloomy atmosphere.Briana spent the rest of her morning bonding with her beloved twins.Meanwhile, Scott spent his time brooding in his room, waiting for the inevitable. His heart was gradually dying inside as the seconds passed. He was so used to Briana's lovely presence in his life that it would be hard to see her gone, leaving him alone to deal with the heartbreaks, loneliness, and difficulty of raising their twins as a single parent.He wished that this day would never come, but it's finally happening before his very eyes.It was already lunchtime when the maid knocked outside the door. "Sir, lunch is ready!""OK." He replied in a bland voice.The maid went to Briana's room and announced the same, then went back downstairs to resume her work in the kitchen.A few minutes later, both Scott and Briana exited their rooms at the same time.Their eyes met.Briana sighed heavily upon no
Three days later.It was a hot Saturday afternoon.The farm was busy with activity. People were decorating the ground floor and placing the rented tables and chairs on the lawn of the house for the twins christening the next day.Scott was supervising the whole event along with the party planner that he had hired for the special occasion.Meanwhile...Briana, the twins, and their nannies were relaxing on the second floor of the house."Madam, I'll go down and get your snack from the kitchen," Marina offered."OK." Briana nodded her head.Briana studied Nanny Dorothy's features closely. She, like this particular woman, is so mature beyond her age. Dorothy is the oldest of 12 siblings and works on the farm as a nanny to help support her poor family.'She could be good wife material for Scott!' Her inner self spoke.And she wholeheartedly agreed.She bonded with the two nannies well, treating them with kindness and respect and cultivating their trust and friendship before leaving the far
It was already 3:00 a.m. in the morning.Scott was gazing lovingly at his adorable twins, Josh and Jolie, the names that he and Briana have chosen for their children. He planted a kiss on their cheeks. "I love you, babies!" Tears of happiness sprang from his eyes.He glanced at their mother, still sleeping on the bed. He may never get Briana as his wife, but she gifted him two beautiful children that will forever seal their fate together. They will always be a family, come what may. Their bond will be much stronger now that they both have children together.After some time, Scott realized that Briana must have been super hungry after she woke up from her slumber. He pushed the button on the intercom and ordered a light meal for the mother of his children. Then he continued gazing at his adorable babies.Fifteen minutes later, Briana finally woke up from her sleep. She looked around the room and saw Scott gazing at their twins in their newborn crib on the table next to the bed. "Scott,
The months passed quickly.Despite their difficult situation, Briana and Jack maintained solid communication with each other to make sure that they were really going back together no matter what the odds.One week before Briana was scheduled to give birth, she and Scott hired two single village women in their late 20s to become the twins nannies.Marina is 26 years old, while Dorothy is 27 years old; both are good-looking ladies."Girls, you can start working the day I finally give birth to my twins. We will inform you on that day," Briana told the women. "Are you excited to work here?" she asked.The two women smiled and nodded their heads. "Yes, Madam!""Good! That's all for now. You may go home now," Briana said, feeling relieved that she found two great women who she believed were fit to be the nannies to her twins. The first time she laid eyes on the women, she knew by intuition that they were good and gentle women who were capable of taking good care of her twins. Based on her in
Scott finally arrived at the farm before 6:00 in the evening."Sir, Ma'am Briana's boyfriend, named Jack, had come here a few hours ago." The guard informed his employer after opening the iron gate.Scott's eyes widened in shock. "Huh? Briana's boyfriend?" He roamed around the area, looking for his former boss. "Where is he?""He already left." The guard replied, scratching his head.Scott's heart beat so fast in his rib cage. "Did Briana come with him?" He asked apprehensively.The guard shook his head. "No. Ma'am Briana went back to the house while her boyfriend left in his car, going back to where he came from.""OK. Good!" Scott's face brightened up like a flashlight as huge relief washed over him. For a split second, he was afraid that Briana would leave the farm and go with Jack back to the city. He was glad and grateful that she stayed true to her words that she would deliver the baby before going home.He walked in a big strid
That afternoon, Scott went to the next town to buy farm supplies. Briana decided not to tell him about Jack's coming to the farm to avoid a confrontation between the two men. It's something that she can't afford to happen. She wanted to talk to Jack alone without Scott hovering around them like a phantom in the opera. A moment of peace with Jack is all she ever needs. Scott noticed that Briana was looking tense again. Worried about her state of mind, he asked, "Are you okay?" "Yes, I'm fine. Don't worry about me. Just go now," she replied with a smile to reinforce her statement that she was fine. "If you are not feeling well, I will just stay with you today and buy supplies tomorrow. Or you can come with me if you want," he offered. "Nah, you go ahead. I'm fine," she insisted. "Alright, I'll go now. Do you want anything? I can buy it for you in the store," he said. Briana shook her head. "I already have everything I need. You may go now." "OK. Take care of yourself, Bri! Call
Scott noticed that it took Briana so long to inform him about the result. Fifteen agonizing minutes had already passed.A growing suspicion tugged at his mind. If it were negative, she would be here by now, wearing a relieved expression on her face, informing him that it was negative.Unless...Unless the result is positive! She is pregnant with their child! That is why it took her so long to come out of the bathroom after conducting the test.He pressed his head on the door and listened for sounds inside the room; he heard faint sobbing!Is Briana crying? But why?His heart starts racing so fast! It only
One month later.Briana was sitting on the balcony, enjoying the morning sunshine after eating her breakfast. Scott went to the next town to buy some supplies for the farm, and she had chosen to remain in the house instead of going out with him.She unlocked her phone and sent a message to her father. 'Good morning, Dad!'A few minutes later, George entered the chat. 'Morning, daughter!''Is everything okay there? My son is okay?''Yes, everything is okay here, but there are some problems with Jack and Charlotte...'Briana's interest was piqued. 'What do you mean?'
