It was exactly 3am in the morning at the operating room of one of the best hospitals in New York, the children of Mr Kel Ross where being born.
Kel paced back and forth on the third floor and kept staring at the operating room were his wife was, and kept praying in his heart that his wife and children would come out safely.
His mother who was seated kept assuring him that they would be alright.
After his wife went into early labour in the middle of the night she knew her son was in a scared state, And all she could do was to assure him that everything would be alright, even though she wasn't certain. She had seen her daughter -in -law earlier that day and was sure she said she wasn't due till next month, But then she received a call in the middle of the night from her son saying he was at the hospital and Irene had been rushed to the ER, she was so worried about her grandchildren that she rushed over right away.
All she wanted was the safety of her grandchildren, she didn't quite care about Irene, But of course she didn't want her dead either. I mean what would be the fate of her only son if he lost his most precious wife. So in her heart she had to pray for both the lives of her grandchildren and their mother.
An hour had passed and there was still no word from the doctors or nurses, Kel couldn't take it any more.
Negative thoughts kept on flooding his mind as he waited.
"What if she doesn't make it?? What if the kids didn't make it ?? What if they all die?? Wait!!
What if they were all already dead and the doctors were to scared to come out and tell him."
At this point Kel had had enough of waiting he had made up his mind to just work in and take a look for himself.
But as the thought just settled in, The door of the emergency room opened and two doctors walked out.
Kel's mother stood up immediately and they braced themselves for whatever news they would hear.
Fortunately the doctors took off their face masks to reveal smiling faces.
Kel didn't care if they were smiling or not he just wanted to hear that both his wife and kids were in good health. But he was so scared that he couldn't bring himself to ask.
His mother who noticed this, suddenly asked "Are they all okay"??
"Yes both the lives of the mother and children are safe, the surgery went well, And Congratulations your a father of four healthy beautiful baby girls".
"FOUR"??
The word four became such a strange and shocking word.
Kel was so confused he thought he heard wrong so he asked again.
"FOUR ?? Doctor are you sure of what your saying cause my wife was pregnant with twins and not quadruplets."
"Well Mr Ross turns out the CT scans were wrong, Mrs Ross was indeed pregnant with quadruplets and not twins."
At this moment kel didn't know how to react, This was just to much for him to handle, he was gonna have FOUR girls NOT two but FOUR, Seriously was this some kind of dream, cause if it was he would really love to wake up. Not that he wasn't happy, he just didn't know how to react to the news.
But his mother on the other hand was overjoyed, At least her daughter in law wasn't as useless as she thought, She had actually given birth to four children in one go. How impressive.
"Can I see my grandchildren"?? kel's mother asked since her son was unwilling to ask."Yes of course, right this way ma'am. The doctor who was secretly overjoyed replied. He was glad that an influential man as kel Ross had brought his wife to the hospital, and not just that, But he had also ensured the save delivery of his children. He was certain that the hospital would get the publicity they deserved and that would take his career to the next level.Kel who was in a daze finally recovered, he also wanted to see his little girls. Of course he still couldn't bring himself to believe that they were four, He had to see for himself.The thought just settled in when he suddenly stopped and asked "Doctor is my wife okay?? Can I see her ?? ""She's absolutely fine, she is resting at moment and it's best if we let her rest for a while."It was really necessary for a woman who just gave birth to rest so kel understood and kept on walking towards were his daughters were kept.The babies were
The pain was so intense she screamed making Kel who was fast asleep to jump up immediately, He turned and when he couldn't find her in bed he searched around the room until he heard cries coming from the bathroom He rushed over to see Irene on the floor, The pain was clearly written all over her face."Honey what's wrong are you okay??" Kel asked as he knelt down in front of her."I think the babies are coming."This sentence made Kel a little frightened, since he wasn't expecting it yet, nevertheless he immediately got a hold of himself.He helped his wife up and carried her downstairs. The butler and some workers in the house who had heard the commotion were already downstairs. A car was immediately prepared and the butler had also prepared a driver.But immediately Kel came downstairs he grabbed the car keys from the driver, helped his wife into the car and drove as fast as he could to the hospital.Irene passed out.And now she was in the hospital. She wondered if her chi
"Little angels.??"Wait! did this mean the children were alright.Irene immediately pulled out of Kel's hug and asked"Are the babies okay??""Yeah all four of them are okay.""Four??"Irene who thought she had heard wrong asked again.Kel smiled "That's right Honey, you gave birth to four children ".Irene couldn't believe what she was hearing."I want to see them."Kel knew his wife wouldn't believe him until she saw them for herself. So he called the doctor and asked if they could bring the babies out of the nursery to see there mother.Moments later, Three nurses walked in, each holding a baby, Along side was kel's mother holding one to.Irene couldn't believe this.She stared at the little babies, They were indeed four.They were so beautiful.She wanted to carry them all.She stretched out her hands and one of the nurses brought one of the children.She was as light as a feather she had a very beautiful but delicate face, her eyes were closed so she looked so peaceful.Irene co
After staying in the hospital for more than a week, Irene was tired and was ready to go home with the kids.She was finally discharged.Meanwhile.The workers in Kel's villa were busy preparing for the arrival of the Mrs and her children.The maid incharge of all the household activities, was busy ordering the workers around and making sure everything was perfect.Maria, Irene mother was overjoyed, she was now a grandmother.She had not yet seen her grandchildren because she was still at London when they were born.But now she was at Kel's villa waiting for their arrival."Maria"Kel's mother Christina. Called out."What are you doing here??""I didn't think you would bother coming."Maria rolled her eyes, she knew this woman all to well.She had a very irritating personality.But Maria wasn't going to let her ruin her mood so she just played along."Why wouldn't I be here?? I mean my daughter just gave birth and I need to protect her and my grandchildren from you!""Hmm." Just thoug
"Madison, give me back my invention." Avery shouted."Invention??" What, don't tell me you mean this silly junk toy thing." Madison replied."Just give it back Madison". Gloria chipped in."No one asked you Gloria,so mind your business."The three 10 year olds kept arguing until their father kel came downstairs. "GIRLS !!" All three of them looked up at their father for a moment and then..Avery: "Dad tell Madison to give me back my invention".Madison: "Dad it's just a silly little toy, and I just wanted to play with it a little".Gloria: " Dad Avery is right, Madison is refusing to give it back."Girls please, for once can you kids not fight, argue or scream at each other. Kel asked his little girls as they stared at him innocently.""Madison started it."Both Avery and Gloria pointed out. Madison glared at them. She just wanted to play with Avery's dumb toy, what was the whole fuss about."Madison is that true??" Kel asked his daughter Madison."I just wanted to play with the
"That enough madison. Don't talk to your father that way."Irene who had been upstairs had heard the commotion the kids were making downstairs and finally came downstairs at this point.Madison: "Mum you know I hate it when dad compares her to Stacey, I'm nothing like her!!""Well if you were just a little calmer and a little nicer maybe then we wouldn't compare you to your sisters. Now apologize to your dad and give Avery back her toy.""Invention", it's not a toy." Avery chipped in."Sorry", please give her back her invention, Irene corrected."You want it ??, well then fetch the pieces."With this sentence Madison threw Avery's little toy and it smashed against the wall and it broke into little pieces.The room fell silent.Every one was shocked but not entirely surprised, Madison had always been a problem child, Avery was always number one in her torture list, so little avery was use to the constant argument, and fights, but today she wasn't going to care if she was her sister o
Then there was a knock on the door."Go away " Madison shouted, she knew who was at the door.This person would always come to console her every time things went like this."Listen, I know your upset, I just wanted to talk to you, Are you okay ?? Gloria asked from the other side of the door."Just leave me alone Gloria, I don't need your pity, I'm not some lost puppy you can help."Gloria who came to console her sister saw that their was no use so she left. Meanwhile, in Avery's room.The little girl was crying her eyes out she was never the over emotional type, but today she had reached her limits.As she cried Irene consoled her telling her she would buy her new parts and help her fix it all up, she knew her daughter spent much time making the toy and was trying to make her feel better.But she also wanted her to know that no matter what Madison was her sister and she should never wish other wise so she said calmly."Avery, I know Madison always act this way but deep down you kn
He looked at her puzzled, was this a time to joke, what was so funny??"Sorry couldn't help but laugh." Irene said Why?? What's funny?? Kel asked "It's just that, Madison is an exact replica of you."That's impossible. How could you even say that. Kel asked "Well it's the truth you were always so strong headed when we were young. So she takes after you. Irene replied."That's not true." Kel said in defence.But Irene was already leaving the room, she needed to go and check on Madison, By now the little diva should have cooled off some steam. Before she left the room she turned to kel and said "Like father, like daughter."She was teasing him because she knew he was upset.Kel smiled at his wife's childishness, she was never gonna change. But that's the way he liked it."But was she right?? Kel thought to himself. Did Madison really take after him."He remembered being very strong headed when he was little, But that was because he lost his father at a very young age and had a lot
"Do you know him." Gloria asked immediately the young gentleman left."Yes this isn't my first time of eating here. Madison replied."Yeah, but still you were a little to friendly with him." Avery said."This isn't my second time of eating here either so l see him anytime I eat here so now we've become friends. Is there a problem with that." Madison asked with a frown."No.Offcourse not." Avery replied. "Good."After that nothing but silence followed for a while. Until Madison talked once again. "So are you guys in a relationship with anyone yet."The girls looked at each other first to see who was brave enough to answer that question. But no one said a word. "Hmmm l asked you guys a question.""Why are you even asking that??." Avery asked."Is it wrong to find out??" Madison answered Avery's question with a question."It's none of your business actually." Avery replied."Oh, sorry did you think l was actually talking with you?? because l wasn't. I know some people are destined to
With a smile Madison walked back into her room leaving her parents outside to do whatever they wanted she really wanted remove from her mind the scene she just witnessed.Stacey was in the room now with Gloria and she just laid on the bed without moving. That was the first thing she did the moment she entered the room. She just walked straight to to bed and got in."What's wrong with you." Madison asked."I'm exhausted can't you see that." "Seems like working with dad wasn't what you expected." Gloria said."It's fine just stressful." Stacey replied closing her eyes. "And why is this bed so uncomfortable." Stacey asked trying to adjust herself on the bed to find a comfortable spot."Tell me about it, l couldn't even sleep here last night." Madison said.Suddenly Avery walked in."Breakfast is really aren't you guys gonna come downstairs." Avery said then took notice of her sister Stacey."Stacey?? " "Hey Avery."Stacey stood up to go give her sister a hug."Did you just get here??
Gloria and Madison walked out of the room. And immediately they did Avery shut the door behind them. "Why would two grown women act like children." She mumbled.*********Madison and Gloria went to Madison's bedroom and Madison hopped on the bed."This bed is soo uncomfortable, l wanna go back to Avery's room.""Yeah, this is bed is really hard." Gloria said as she sat on Madison's bed."I'm telling mum to change all the beds in the guest rooms, they are way to hard to sleep on.""No wonder we don't have any guest." Gloria replied and Madison laughed.Gloria looked at her sister and smiled, she remembered how she acted yesterday and really wanted to apologise."Maddy. listen about the way l acted yesterday I'm really sorry.""It's okay sis all things have been forgiven and forgotten." Madison said as she stood up from the bed and went over to were her suitcase was kept and began to unpack."Now come help me decide on what to wear for breakfast this morning. Gloria smiled.********D
Sitting in a well furnished office Mr Kel Ross sipped his cup of coffee while flipping through some documents. Ever since his daughter Stacey started helping out in the company he was less busy and most times he didn't even have to lift a finger because everything was always done perfectly. He adjusted himself on the chair, to find a more comfortable position closed his eyes and relaxed as he enjoyed the absolute silence in the room."Dad take a look at this." Stacey said as she walked in with a frown on her face.Kel opened his eyes to see his beautiful daughter standing in front of him. She was all grown up now and she was a stunning sight to behold.Stacey had a well sculpted figure, very delicate but beautiful skin, a set of dazzling blue eyes and Angel white teeth, she had coils of long brown hair flowing over her shoulders, rosey red lips that looked as soft as rose petals and she had an elegant personality. And she was also very hard working.With a smile Kel asked her what was
The dinner table was silent for a while before Irene broke the silence."So, Avery do you wanna go next. What have you been up to." Irene asked."Oh" Avery said placing her cutleries on the table."Well mum, nothing much, l usually spend all my time working in the lab. That's basically my life." Avery said with a shrug."Sweetheart you know that not a healthy way of living. You have to get out and have fun see places and meet new people." "No mum, please don't start again." Avery said with a frown. The girls knew when Irene mentioned meeting new people she meant finding someone to get married to."Start what?? I'm not starting anything I'm just saying that it's the healthy thing to do." Irene said pretending to know nothing about what they were talking about."Mm-hmm sure mum. Avery said as she stuffed food in her mouth so her mum would stop talking to her and move on to another person."Well what about you Maddy, what have you been up to" Irene asked."Nothing much, just hosting a
"Well l hosted a global event about helping less fortunate last year and I'm planning on hosting another this year." Gloria said with a smile."I'm very proud of you sweetheart. I love the way you always want to help others. Irene said with a smile. among all her daughters Gloria usually reminded her of her late mother."Yes, that's a very nice thing to do. But let me remind you that last year after hosting that event you became bankrupt." Madison said. Her sister was such a kind person that she would use all her income on others and then live a very uncomfortable life which she Madison did not agree to. As much as she wanted to take care of others she should also take good care of herself."Yeah, Madison is right Gloria. Those global events cost a lot of money, and your always the one sponsoring it. Why not turn it into a charity event instead ??" Avery asked. "Because l don't mind sponsoring it. I don't know why you guys are complaining when I'm not. I'm fine."Whatever, do what su
"That must be mum." Avery said as they heard the sound of a car driving in."Let's go give her a pleasant surprise." Madison said with a smile.******Irene walked into the house with the headmaid Elena. She was feeling really exhausted. She just wanted to go upstairs and get some sleep. She told Elena not to worry about preparing dinner since she didn't feel hungry. She went upstairs to she and Kel's bedroom.She sighed the moment she entered, she had been really lonely these past few years and now it felt even worst because Kel wasn't home.She stood in front of the mirror in her room and began to take of the little jewelleries she had on. She stared at her reflection in the mirror. She had little wrinkles on her face. She raised her hands and began to touch her face."Must be from all the stress of raising us." Avery said behind her.Irene was startled she hadn't expected to see Avery in her room."Avery?? "Hey mum." Avery said with a smile and hugged her mother."We were suppose
"Off course you did. I mean can the amazing Madison Ross settle for anything less." Gloria said with a smile.The two ladies went upstairs."Have you heard from Avery or Stacey lately??" Madison asked the moment they walked into the room."Yeah, l called Avery two days ago and she said she would come home for mum and dad's anniversary. So she should be here at any moment. But l haven't heard from Stacey since last month. You know she's always busy running the company and stuff." Gloria said as she stuffed food in her mouth. The maid had brought another tray of food upstairs for Gloria."Yeah, she's always busy." Madison said referring to Stacey who was helping out at their dad's company now. "Yep." Gloria said again as she stuffed some more food in her mouth. Then they heard a car horn."Who do you think is here now." Gloria asked."Don't know let's go find out." Madison replied.They both went downstairs, and Gloria was still holding a plate of food."Seriously?? Madison asked look
Madison sat in a bedroom upstairs scrolling through her phone checking all the comments on her latest post which was "Taking a break to go home and see my parents and celebrate there anniversary and have fun with my sisters." Madison became bored. She was getting tired so she took a shower and went back downstairs. She wanted to go to the kitchen but the moment she left the room she found a maid outside her room holding a tray filled with food."Is about time. What took you so long." Madison said as she took the tray from the maid."I'm sorry miss Ross. It won't happen again. " the maid said pleadingly."Relax, l was just teasing you. You can go. Thank you." Madison said and the maid nodded and left with a smile.Immediately Madison entered back into the room she heard a familiar voice call her name."Madison.where are you?? The voice asked.Madison came downstairs to see Gloria standing in the living room calling out her name. When Gloria finally saw her she walked up to her as fas
