Chapter 88"Xavier. Are you busy?" Caroline knocked at his office door. Xavier lifted his head up from the file he was reading and smiled at her."I am never busy for you sweetheart". He beckoned her to come over. He pushed his chair a bit to make room for her. "Sit here". He patted his lap for her to sit down, making her smile. But she didn't reject the offer. "Perfect. Now tell me what happened?" Xavier sprawled his hand over her still flat stomach. "Actually I was thinking if we could get a few days away?" She said leaning into his arms comfortably. "Where do you want to go?" "Egypt". "When?" "Hmm. After ten days". She said to him. "What's with ten days?" He raised his eyebrow. "Nothing. Angie would be free after ten days. She has her girl's vaccination and her checkup due. Also, Tisha and Brock will reach there ahead of us to arrange for stay and all that". She said playing with the buttons of his shirt."Well, now if you ask me like this, who am I to reject?" Xavier lean

Chapter 89Xavier tucked her in the bed and sat beside her, racking her hair with fingers. She didn't speak a word, she didn't look at him but at least she didn't stop him. He bent down kissing her forehead as she was back facing him, and stood up to go out of the room. He didn't want to add in Caroline's tensions, and he himself needed time to sort the whole shit. He was rotating the paper weight on his desk when Enzo came inside with a cup of coffee for him. "Thanks, En. Why are you awake? Don't you have to go home?" Xavier was actually surprised to see him. It wasn't his turn tonight to stay over. "Nobody has left for home Boss and how can we? So much has happened today. How can we sleep when both of you are restless". Enzo said sincerely. Xavier nodded his head taking a sip of his coffee. "What have you decided, Boss?" Enzo asked after a moment of silence.."Honestly? I don't know. For now I am only concerned about Caroline. She is upset. And that's not a good sign. Just in t

Chapter 90"Call Declan to bring the kids". She turned to Rafe who called Declan. Good thing, they were just around the corner. Emelia and Noah were tired still they got busy with the toys scattered around in the playpen. Xiana wanted to go but Caroline gently held her hand. "Sit with me princess." She tugged her curls behind her ear. Xiana looked at her mother but sit down with Caroline. She was still kind of shy with her. "How do you like it?" Caroline asked her. "It's. It's good". She replied in a polite way. "You like living her with Emelia and Noah? Playing with them?" She asked again. "Yes. I like it". She replied again. Her focus was on the toys scattered. Caroline smiled at her. A little kid she was. "Would you like to live with them? Here. With us." She cupped her face towards her. "With here? Why?" She was confused for a while. "Mommy would live with us too?" "Well she can, but she has to go to the doctor". Caroline explained gently. "Doctor? Oh. I know Mommy is no

Chapter 91Mariana came back home with Xiana late in the afternoon. Although Xavier didn't demand, Ray informed him that they only bought essentials. She in fact shopped more for Xiana than herself. And a few medicines because according to her she was advised to get admitted in the hospital as soon as she reaches back. They spent some time sitting together in a park, doing nothing, but staring in the distance. Maybe Xiana had mentally accepted the fact that her mother won't come back. "Hi honey. How was your day?" Caroline greeted them from the garden. They were enjoying the great weather. Kids were playing and running around with dirt smeared on their clothes. "Am good ma'am thank you". She smiled and greeted her back. "Not ma'am. I would like it if you call me aunty though I prefer mommy like my kids do". Caroline didn't force her. She just wanted to make her comfortable and she knew Xiana won't accept her as a mother in a short span of time. She knew it. "I.. okay aunty. Than

Chapter 92"Come with me". Xavier stretched out his hand for her. Caroline looked at him and took his head to let him take her anywhere. It's been two days in the Swiss Alps. They had their traditional festivals going on in between the falling snow. The twins were squealing with joy and Xiana was really excited to play in the snow. But she always engaged the twins with her. It was night and everyone had retired to their rooms. It was kind of a connected cottage style.Every cottage was connected with a pebbled path to each other. Brock had made sure that everyone gets privacy and comfortable stay for a week. Ray and Declan had taken the kids with them in their cottage that was next to Xavier's and they were connected via baby monitors. Despite the chill weather outside, the cottages were cozy and warm. Preheated roof and floors were set at perfect temperature for the kids and adults, still Caroline made sure that the kids were wrapped up properly. Xavier led her through the loung

Chapter 93The trip to Switzerland was no doubt the most needed change and turn around for their relationship. They cleared their doubts, they cleared every fear they had. They bonded with Xiana, who never had a chance to live her childhood. She would talk daily with Mariana, telling her about her trip. What she did all day long and she would never forget to say how much she missed her. Xavier was in touch with her doctor and so far it wasn't good news. Her health was deteriorating with every passing moment. Her spleen had stopped working, thus she was prone to sickness and her diet was changed to total liquid food. Xavier told Caroline about her but he could gather the courage to talk to Xiana. He was afraid to break this news to her. Even Caroline had stopped him to tell her. She wanted Mariana to tell her daughter about her sickness. Xavier and Caroline had visited some schools in the neighborhood for Xiana and they made sure she would be treated well and there was a guard for

Chapter 94Special chapter of Rafe and Chelsea in Switzerland______Rafe wanted to take Chelsea somewhere for dinner. He was waiting patiently for everyone to settle down in their rooms when he texted Xavier if he could take her out. Xavier had no objection to saying and why would he stop them. The guards were free to go anywhere they wanted after their duty time. Besides, they had an army of guards to look after them. Chelsea just exited the bathroom after taking a hot bath and was startled to see Rafe all dressed up in jeans, long boots, jacket, beanie and gloves and he had spread a whole set for her on the bed. "Are you going somewhere?" She tightly wrapped the fluffy towel around her. "Not me. But us. I have taken the night off. Get ready". He clapped his hands in excitement. "It's cold Rafe". She shivered at the thought. "Yeah I know. That's why these clothes. Come on please". He pleaded cutely. Chelsea narrowed her eyes in suspicion but huffed. "On one condition". "Anyt

Chapter 95The whole house and the gardens were decorated with fairy lights. They had placed balloons all over the place. Different cartoon characters stood as miniquins. All three kids had told their preferences and favorites and Xavier didn't bat an eye to fulfill their wishes. The twins had their birthday last month, but due to everything that happened with Xiana, they postponed it and it was a good thing because now they could celebrate with Xiana. Caroline had checked that her birthday was a month later than twins, so why not. She was sitting on a chair and passing orders to decorate but it wasn't convenient so she gave them pictures just the way she wanted them to be. Emelia and Xiana were dressed up as the princess from their favorite animated movie Frozen while Noah opted to be Captain America. The boys had taken care of all decoration and catering, inviting the kids from the neighborhood and Xiana's class fellows too. Emelia and Xiana took one end of the table while Noa
