Ava pressed her lips with her chin. "I don't think Jeremy will care too much about that. He'll do what I want. Don't men tend to be like that?" Kara nodded in agreement. "That's right. Frank wouldn't mind either. But still, we have to ask." Suddenly, Kara raised her index finger. Her eyes flashed with enthusiasm. "How about when they come back, we just ask them straight away?" "And the twins?" "No problem. I think they will be very happy to hear about our plan." Ava developed a smile. "Okay." "Okay! I can't wait for them to come back. Now, let's write down what needs to be prepared later." Kara picked up her book and straightened her pen. Seeing that, Ava's lips curved sadly. "You know what? This is the first time I've planned something with a friend." Kara blinked in confusion. "A friend?" Ava nodded awkwardly. "Can I think of you like that? I know our husbands are related, but ... I wonder what it would be like to have a close friend. All this time, I've been busy being al
Not only the Twins, but Frank and Jeremy were also wide-eyed. "Asking what?" While Louis and Emily blinked waiting for an answer, Kara and Ava exchanged glances. "Ava and I are talking about preparing for the birth of our babies. We're having a bit of trouble because we don't know if they’re boys or girls. So ...." Frank matched the swing in Kara's tone with the movement of his head. "Do you want the doctor to announce the gender before they are born?" Kara sighed with a smile. "Yeah, how about we have a gender reveal?" In an instant, the twins' eyes widened like the full moon. Their mouths were also wide open, letting out joy. "Will we find out soon it's Russell or Rylee?" Emily pointed at Kara's bulging stomach. "And also Oscar or Oasis?" Louis pointed at Ava's stomach while glancing at Jeremy. While Ava and Kara were confused, Jeremy put on a lazy look. "Louis? Seriously?" Louis chuckled in amusement. "What's the harm? It's a nice name." Emily shook her head at his joke.
"These are for you guys." Barbara and Philip put hats on the twins' heads. Then, they put t-shirts on the shoulders of the two toddlers. "These too." While the twins were stunned, the newlyweds continued. They gave them sweaters, beanies, socks, books, stickers, posters, tote bags, and also small plush animals in the shape of orcas and bees. The twins' heads were almost covered by the bulging pile of souvenirs. "Thank you, Auntie. We didn't expect the souvenirs we got to be this many." Emily giggled at the end. "Yes, this is a lot, Auntie!" Louis exclaimed without looking at Barbara. The Orca's tail was covering half his face. "This is proof that we have not forgotten you," Barbara said before standing up and approaching the others. "We also brought souvenirs for you, Adults." While the newlyweds were busy sharing what they had bought, Kara laughed amusedly. "Thank you, Barbara, Philip. I think you were very enthusiastic when shopping at the souvenir shop." "Yeah, people might
Starting from Frank, one by one revealed their letters. "E." "L." "R!" "L!" "U." "S." "S." While holding their breath, the twins arranged the letters in their brains. As he found the answer, Louis immediately got out of his chair and ran around the dining table. Both hands punched the air. "Woohoo! That's Russell! Little Baby is Russell! I'm going to have a little brother!" Everyone smiled watching his excitement. But, after one blink, all eyes were on Emily. The little girl looked shrunken with drooping shoulders. Her lips pursed, her brows slightly furrowed. "Little Angel, are you okay?" Kara rubbed her back. Emily turned around with teary eyes. There was no smile on her face. Nevertheless, she still nodded. "I'm fine, Mommy. No matter Russell or Rylee, I still love the baby." Her voice was hoarse. At the end of the sentence, she quickly bit her lips. Kara kissed her head and gave her a hug. "Thank you, Little Angel. You have such a big heart." Then, Louis came to hug
Before Barbara had time to speak, Emily raised her index finger like a student wanting to ask permission from the teacher. "Auntie, can you give me a little sister? I promise I won't cry if it turns out your child is also a boy. But, can you try? Maybe there are rules to planting baby sisters. How deep should they be put or how much should they be watered? Like Grandma Susan planting plants in the greenhouse." Everyone laughed amusedly at Emily's request. Barbara was at a loss for words. Her cheeks flushed red with embarrassment. "Little Bee," Kara stroked Emily's cheek, "we can't arrange it like that. It's fate from God." "Can't it be done?" Emily shook her head slightly. "No, Love." Before the little girl's shoulders slumped again, Barbara placed a hand on the side of her mouth. "Shhh, Emily .... Actually, I also hope that my child is a girl. How about we pray together? Who knows, God will grant it. But if it doesn't come true, don't be disappointed." Emily's eyes lit up with
"Is this a folding camping chair designed specifically for kids?" Louis exclaimed with sparkling eyes. Emily beside also looked up, waiting for an answer. Her face was no less bright. Barbara smiled proudly at that response. With a chuckle, she nodded. "Yes, with your names printed on the backrest." "Wow, this is really cool! Thank you, Uncle Philip, Aunt Barbara." "Yes, thank you, Uncle, Auntie." While Emily hugged Barbara once again, Louis was busy pulling a pink chair out of the box. "Emily, this is your seat!" "You want to try it right away?" Emily helped Louis stretch the chair so he could sit on it. "Yes! We have to take a photo with Uncle and Aunt while sitting here," Louis said, excitedly. He didn't care that the small suir on his body made it difficult for him to move. However, when he found his chair, his movements stopped. His eyes flickered to see the thick waterproof cloth where his name was printed. "Uncle, Aunt, have you forgotten? My favorite color is blue. Doe
"Hello, Brandon. Welcome to our event," Louis shook his classmate's hand. "Hello, Louis. Happy birthday. I hope you live a long and healthy life," the blonde boy said, occasionally glancing at Emily. "Thank you, Brandon. Did you come alone?" Brandon nodded. "Yes, my parents had to attend another event. So, only the driver took me here." After one blink, Brandon offered his hand to Emily. "Happy birthday too, Emily. You're so beautiful tonight." Emily shook Brandon's hand with a sweet smile. "Thanks, Brandon. You also look cool tonight. The jacket suits you." Brandon blushed. His lips twitched to suppress the excitement in his chest. "Thank you, Emily. I deliberately asked my mother to look for the best outfit. I want to look cool at this event." "Your mom has a good sense of fashion," Emily nodded before glancing to the side. "Louis, I think you should try a regular tie like Brandon. You're five years old. It's time for you to leave that bow tie behind. You should try somethin
Kara was sitting on the bed. Her head rested on the broad shoulder next to her. Closing her eyes, she tried to catch her breath."Is there any news from the Twins?" she asked quietly. Frank shook his head. His hands kept to massage Kara's fingers. "You don't need to worry about them, Queen Bee. They are independent and intelligent children. They will understand that you have to give birth soon. Let's celebrate their birthday after Russell is born, hmm?" After a short nod, Kara turned her head further. "Are you crying?" Frank's eyebrows pulled together. Moving his head away so that it would be easier to see her, he shook his head. "Why do you think I'm crying?" "Your voice is shaky, Frank." Pursing his lips, Frank took a deep breath. "I'm not crying." "Then why are your eyes red and watery?" Frank blinked firmly. "I'm not crying," he repeated with more emphasis. Still out of breath, Kara let out a laugh. Her head tilted slightly, waiting for his tears to fall. "Are you sure?"
