Aiden was over the moon about the news of him becoming a father. Katherine, however, was a bit worried. The drive home was a quiet one. Although Aiden was gleaming with joy and excitement, he sensed Katherine's anxiety. He decided he would try to ease whatever she was going through as soon as they got home.

They entered the house and saw Mrs. Lewis sitting in the living room.

"Oh, you're home early," Mrs. Lewis said when she noticed them. She was seated and watching the television.

"Can I please have a bottle of water?”Katherine asked. "I'll be up in my room."

"Yeah, sure. Is everything alright?” Mrs. Lewis inquired.

"Yes, I'm just a bit tired," Kat smiled at her before ascending the stairs.

"I'll get the water. You finish watching your program," Aiden said as he began walking to the kitchen.

He didn't notice that Mrs. Lewis began following him.

"Is she alright? What did the doctor say?" She asked.

"She's fine. She just needs to rest and take things easy."

    The next two weeks went well for Katherine. Her morning sickness was less, and she didn't feel tired all the time. She wanted to tell her parents and Taryn so badly about the pregnancy, but she refrained. She found a distraction in work and also helping Taryn plan a surprise masquerade themed birthday party for Dustin. She avoided doing anything that was too strenuous because of the Doctor's orders and also Aiden's, who took extra care in ensuring that she didn't overwork herself and was eating and taking her vitamins. Aiden secured a venue for the party and also offered to pay the bill. After leaving the Café, the ladies went over by the venue with a few of the persons who would be working that night to complete some last-minute tasks because Dustin's birthday was in two days."Did you order enough alcohol?" Taryn asked Kat as they went over the checklist. One of the men began pushing a trolley with liquor to the kitchen. "Trust me, there will be enough alcohol here to cater for

    Two days later, Aiden was at his office with a potential client. He wanted to expand his business and had been looking for spaces all over the country. While on his honeymoon, he saw a great opportunity in the French Polynesian area. He reached out to the landowners, and was currently having a conference call with one of them. "Mr. Mahk, I think 20 million dollars is more than enough to pay for that property," Aiden tried to negotiate with the elderly man. "And Mr. Windsor, I will not settle for anything less than 25 million," Mr. Mahk responded after his lawyer whispered in his ear. "25 million is way more than I can afford," Aiden fibbed."You lie, Mr. Windsor. I know you are a billionaire, that’s not too much," Mr. Mahk spoke with an accent. "You know the property next to you wanted me to pay them 15 million dollars for that space, but I thought since you are about to retire, why not help you retire in style? Because I hope when I'm your age I have that amount of money to retir

    An hour later, Katherine was at the school. She had called Aiden to tell him what was going on. He was on his way home. She also called Dustin and he and two other officers met her at the school. She tried her best to remain calm as she spoke to Nate's coach, along with the principal, and two security guards. "How could you guys let this happen?" Katherine fumed."Let what happen Mrs. Windsor? Ms. O'Hare comes to visit them all the time. Isn't she their aunt?" the principal questioned."Yes, she's their aunt, but she has no right to visit them, let alone pick them up from school. She's mentally unstable." Katherine gave out. "Oh my," the coach exclaimed in shock."Mrs. Windsor, we did not know. We are truly sorry," the principal apologized. "You will be sorry, she wasn't even listed on their emergency contact. Why would you let her take him?” Katherine sobbed the last part."Do you have any security cameras around here?"

    Dustin and Liam got lucky while following some leads. They called Katherine and Aiden and told them that the SUV was spotted about five miles from the highway, so they were to meet him there. Aiden knew how stressful the situation was, and he did not want to make matters worse for Kat, so he tried to convince her not to come with him."Sweetheart I can't imagine what you're going through, but I think it's best you stay put until I find out what is going on.""Aiden, you know I can't do that. I have to make sure that my baby is safe," she said as she took up a water bottle. "I know you might be feeling helpless not knowing where Nate is. Trust me I feel the same way, but you stressing out is not good for your condition.""My condition?""You know, being that you're pregnant and all. I wouldn't want anything to happen to you or to the babies.""Nothing is gonna happen Aiden, I'll be fine," she reassured him."I just want to make sure," he said softly.

    Aiden tried his best to hold his composure and not overreact. He wanted to tell Violet a piece of his mind, but he thought staying calm would be better in this situation. "Violet, do you have any idea what you've done?""I know exactly what I'm doing. I'm spending quality time with my lovely nephew," she stated."Listen to me, Violet, you have to bring Nathan home. I'm sure he misses his family," Aiden said, as he felt a headache coming on. "But he's with family. Have you forgotten I'm Aunt Vi?” she snickered over the phone."Let me talk to him," Aiden demanded. "He's taking a nap at the moment, but we could talk, you know I have a lot to say to you.""Well at least let me see him. Let's video call," Aiden requested. "Now why would I do that?" "So that I can see that Nate is doing well." "He is. He's just taking a nap. The plane ride was tiring for him." "Where are you Violet?" Aiden questioned. "You'll find out soon enough.

    Aiden was already working on accumulating the ransom for Nathan. He made various phone calls, while Dustin and the officers packed up their equipments. "Aiden, what are you up to?" Dustin asked as he joined him in the kitchen. Aiden was still busy with his phone in his hand typing away."I'm working on getting my son back," he simply answered with his attention still set on his phone."Aiden, I know you and I saw that look in your eyes. Please let us do our jobs."He took his attention from his phone, and was now looking at Dustin in disbelief. "Out of all the persons, you're gonna say this to me?" He questioned Dustin. “Dustin, I know how the system works, and I'll be damned if I sit on my ass and wait for them to get shit done," he made clear."I hear you, but there's a protocol that we have to follow.""Screw protocol. I'm not wasting another minute," he stated. "So what do you want me to do?" "I want you to be my friend," he simply said. "You know how much Katherine and the k

    Dustin had been waiting for a big break in his career. For the past couple of months, he had been investigating a case that meant a lot to him. A long while back, he got information about a suspected pedophile and since then he had been obsessed with solving the case. The man's name was Donny Perez, but the evidence wasn't much, so he needed something to stick the nail in Donny's coffin. "Everyone, please stay in position," Dustin ordered over the police radios.He was parked in a neighborhood across the street from a lemonade stand. The chief got his nineteen-year-old niece Sarah to work undercover. She was posing as a vendor selling lemonade to help out an animal shelter. Even though Sarah was nineteen, she was really little because she has a trait of dwarfism. She was well-equipped to do the task, and they had police posted all over the neighborhood. Dustin and his partner watched as a few persons came up and purchased their refreshing cups of lemonade. He checked his watch, and

    Aiden was at the office when he got a call from Grandma Debs, asking if he could meet up with her. He was curious as to what she needed, so he agreed to meet up at Katherine's Café. Aiden and Grandma Debs have developed a good relationship because Grandma Debs knew that it wasn't Aiden's fault the way things went down with Violet, and since they were going to be a part of each other's lives, it made sense that they remained cordial. On his lunch break, he went over to the Café and found Katherine in her office because she refused to stay home. If Aiden was being completely honest, he loved how beautiful and glowing she was at this stage, and he admired how strong she was. Most women would be at home counting down the days until they gave birth, but Kat refused to stay in bed. As long as she wasn't overworking, Dr. Murray said it was quite fine for her to do some light work. "Hi, my love," Aiden greeted as he entered the office and walked over to her smiling.

She also invited her to stay with them for the weekend and for the family Sunday dinner. The kids were like the only close family she had at the moment, and she wanted to maintain a good relationship with them. They had movie night on Saturday and it was fun. It was wonderful to see Grandma Debs, Aiden, and the twins getting along so well. The next day, Taryn and Dustin also came over to join the traditional Sunday dinner. Mrs. Lewis, Grandma Debs and Taryn were busy in the kitchen, while Katherine rested upstairs. She felt out of place not being involved, but she knew that at her stage of pregnancy, she needed to take things slowly. The twins were preoccupied helping Aiden and Dustin to set the table and get things in place. Katherine woke up and made an attempt to go downstairs to help, but she was shocked when the twins intercepted her and brought her back to her room.

    The trial began a week later, and it didn't take long for the judge and juror to decide the fate of Violet. With all the evidence, it was clear that she was guilty. The only decision that needed to be made was her punishment."Your honour, the evidence presented in this case is damning and inexcusable," the lawyer representing Nate and his family stated. "Though the evidence is there, we see no reason why the book should be thrown at my client being that she's not a repeat offender," Violet's lawyer presented. "Not a repeat offender? If I may point out, she was being investigated for embezzlement and fraud. And if I recall, she fled the country before an arrest could have been made.""That's hearsay, your honour.”"Would I have brought this up if it was only hearsay?" The lawyer pulled out a few documents from a pile that was in front of him. He them gestured to the officer to bring it to the judge. "This doesn't look good, Mr. Ryan," the judge said to Violet's lawyer after reviewi

    After Aiden informed Katherine about the trial date, they both decided that they would have a sit down with Nate over the weekend and tell him about what was happening. After Katherine finished work that Saturday evening, they all sat down in the living room to have a discussion. "What did you guys do today?" Katherine asked Nate and Nola, who were sitting on both ends of the large couch in the room and were engrossed in their tablets. "I helped Ms Lewis in the garden. We will have lots of potatoes and strawberries by the end of the month," Nola said as she placed the tablet beside her. "That's great Nola. I can make some strawberry tarts when they are ready.""I played on my tablet most of the day," Nate answered without taking his eyes off the screen of the device. "Nate, can you please put the tablet aside," Aiden requested. "We have something important we want to discuss." "Okay," Nate said as he tucked the tablet in the corner beside him. "Thank you," Aiden said."Alright,

    Two Months Later. Things were a lot better for Katherine and her family. She was now seven months pregnant and couldn't wait to give birth. She had to take a break from doing too much work, so she mostly worked in the office of the Café. The twins were back to their old routine, especially Nate. He still visits Dr. Coleman once a week for one-on-one sessions, and exceptional progress have been made. He had a few more visits until the sessions would be over all together.Since the one-on-one sessions had been happening, they would bring Nate to the doctor, and wait in the lounge area until the sessions were done. Katherine and Aiden took turns in bringing Nate to his sessions depending on how busy they were. If they were both free on a specific day, they would all go togetherAiden picked up Nate from school while Kat was busy at work. Nola wanted Nate to stay and watch her practice, but Aiden promised her he would come back for her after her swimming lessons were done.He drove Nate

    "What do you think it means?" Katherine asked Doctor Coleman. After Nate showed his drawing, he didn't care to talk about it. Instead, he turned his attention to his tablet. Katherine was worried, and Aiden couldn't help but feel helpless in the situation, so they pulled Dr. Coleman to the side to get to the bottom of things. "Well, it's clear that he has something bothering him.""Maybe I should ask him about it," Katherine pondered. "Baby, remember we tried, and he completely shut down." Aiden reminded her."I know, but I just want him to feel better. He gets up screaming in the middle of the night. He's not eating like he used to, and he's a bit withdrawn.""And these are all expected since he just went through a traumatic situation," Dr. Coleman began. "I would recommend one-on-one sessions for him." "You think that would help, doctor?""It's always worth the try." He answered. "He's the best I know, so let's see what will happen," Aiden suggested. "Alright," Kat finally agr

    The next day, Aiden scheduled an appointment for the family to see the therapist. Surprising, the doctor squeezed them in that very same day. He also scheduled another appointment for Katherine to meet with her doctor, since she had been going through a stressful situation. "Nate and Nola are ready," Katherine told Aiden. She had left him on the phone with some clients while she got the kids ready for the day. "Give me a sec, my love," he said to her with his hands covering the mouthpiece of his cell. He then turned his attention back to the call.Katherine went and got herself ready in the meantime. After finishing up the call, Aiden got himself ready, then he and his family headed to the doctor's appointment. The therapist's office was quiet and quaint. Katherine was surprised to know that a renowned therapist would see them on such short notice, but she was getting used to the idea of things being less complicated and hassle-free since she's married to a very wealthy man. "He

    The next day, it was time for everyone to go home. Violet, however, had to wait a few days before the process of being extradited was completed. "We're all set and ready to go," Aiden told the pilot after boarding the jet. Liam and Dustin fell asleep instantly as the aircraft took flight. Even though Aiden was tired as hell, he couldn't fall asleep. He watched as Nate looked through the window, admiring the scenery as they ascended high into the sky. "What's on your mind?" Aiden asked Nate as his gaze fell from a comic book that he was reading. "Oh, nothing," Nate answered. "Are you sure, sweetie?" Katherine asked when she noticed how sad his face looked. "Well, I was just wondering what my sister is doing," he said calmly. "Maybe sleeping," Kat said after checking the time. "It's still pretty early in the morning." "Oh, you’re probably right," Nate said quietly. "Yes, but I'm sure she will be thrilled to see you," Kat reassured. "I think so too," Aiden added. "In fact, ever
