This is the end of the plot, but I do feel like I have left a bit of loopholes in the story, so I will release a few bonus chapters. But I am not giving myself deadline for that because deadline sucks and it stresses me out. But yeah, I want to just do a couple of chapters of Elijah, Peach, and their babyโs lives without the drama and stuff. I remember a few of my readers commenting that they wanted to see something like that with Peach and Elijah, so I am going to do that. Thank you guys for all the support. My deepest appreciation.
โBecause of how risky her pregnancy and delivery were, Peach will have to stay in the hospital for two days just for us to monitor her.โ Doctor Harry said to Elijah.Still shaken by Peach's labor experience yesterday and what happened in the courthouse, Elijah darted his gaze between his wife and then daughter, feeling stressed and overwhelmed before looking back at Dr. Harry, and then he said, โThereโs no issue with both of them, right?โSmiling, Dr. Harry replied, โNo, there shouldn't be one. I'm confident that Peach is healthy, but we can't take any chances.โโYou are sure... Because the last time you gave me an assurance you almost delivered my child behind my back,โ Elijah said, a hint of bitterness lingering in his voice.An awkward tension settled in the room, and then Peach softly uttered, โBabe, it was not Dr. Harry's fault-โโI know,โ Elijah said, looking over at Peach and meeting her eyes with a disappointed look in his.Sighing, Dr. Harry hung his head in shame and said, โ
Early that morning, Madam Maxwell was a bit on the edge as she walked around the kitchen, tasting and giving instructions for every meal the maids were preparing. Her eyes would occasionally flicker from stove to pots and pans, her lips pursed in concentration. Finally, the sound of Miss Grace's voice drew her attention to the kitchen doorway when she heard, โElijah, Peach, and the baby are home.โA look of raw excitement came over Lisa's face and she smiled widely as she rushed out of the kitchen with Miss Grace following closely behind.When they got into the living room, both their eyes were wet with tears to see little Piki in the car seat that Elijah was hoping for, and suddenly, the two days of waiting felt worth it for both grandmothers.Not wasting a second, Miss Grace ran to Elijah while Mrs. Maxwell rushed for Peach and they pulled the couple into a tight hug.โThank you, Elijah. Thank you.โ Miss Grace cried at her son-in-law.Even though Elijah was trying to keep up the t
The sound of Piki screaming made Peach feel for Elijah, her fingers poking his nose and eyes as her palm rubbed against his face, and she whispered, โBabe, the baby is crying.โSleepily, Elijah opened his eyes and then closed them, moaning out a breath as he mumbled, โI am up.โYet, he was still laying with his eyes closed, but another scream from Piki made him jump from his sleep, shouting, โI am up, baby! Daddy is up!โThen he jumped from the bed, rushing to her crib, and reached into it, scooping her up and cradling her, singing nonsense words at her that made Peach giggle sleepily.Even though the two weeks of taking care of a newborn were challenging, Elijah refused a nursery for the baby, allowing her to sleep in his room, and denied the offer of a nanny. His heart won't let him trust a soul other than his internal family around his daughter, after everything that he and Peach had gone through.โShush,โ Elijah murmured quietly at her, pressing a kiss to her forehead. โIs your p
With a smile on his face, Elijah held Piki with one hand, and in his other hand, his phone as he walked around the garden.It took a moment for his call to get answered, and when Bryan's face appeared in the video call, he blurted out, โI can not believe I am saying this, but congratulations, Senator Checks on winning the election.โIt grew silent for a second, and then both men burst into laughter, excitement clear in each of their voices. โThanks, Bro,โ Bryan said after they had caught their breath. โFor everything. I mean it from the depths of my heart. Today wouldn't have been possible without your help.โโI was just paying my debt to you.โ Elijah teased, and then said with a bit of remorse in his voice. โI am just sad that I couldn't be there in person today to watch you speak to the public. But all of my men are going to be there to show my support.โโI appreciate that. Also, you got Piki and Peach to be there for, so I understand.โ โYeah,โThe call went silent for a split sec
Like a madman, Deacon opened fire on the SUV, bullets flying everywhere as he screamed, โGo to hell!โAs the sound of bullets hitting the car from every angle, Matt, Dice, and Rookie kept their head down, and Matt could hear Elijah screaming from the other end of the call, โMatt, say something! Please! Are you guys okay?! Is anyone Hurt? Fucking tell me something, anything!โโWe are okay, boss!โ Matt shouted back, because of the deafening sound of the fires.Finally, silence ceased the atmosphere, and immediately, Dice raised his head, feeling glad that he was working for Elijah because of how built their vehicles were, and even though the car took a lot of hits, a single bullet didn't penetrate the car.Staring at Deacon, Dice immediately guess that he was out of bullets, and with a fifty-fifty chance that that was true, he jumped out of the car, causing Rookie to scream, โDice, no!โWhen Deacon saw him coming toward him, he turned to run for his car, but like a wild cat, Dice lunged
โThree months! She's three freaking months,โ Elijah mumbled, looking down at his baby and smiling at her in her crib. โCan she stop growing?โA laugh escaped Peachโs lips as she stared at her husband standing over their daughter's crib and then she walked over to him wrapping her arms around his waist, saying, โShe is not going to stop growing. You have to prepare your heart to watch her become a woman.โโI don't want her to...โ Elijah said as Piki grabbed his hand, trying to pull it into her mouth. โThereโs nothing we can do about that, honey. All we can do is be there for her and record her growth, so we can have something to look back on. That's why today is important.โโI know, babeโฆ Honestly, I can't wait for them to meet her.โA knock on the couple made Peach let go of Elijah and walked over to the door, and when she opened it, Miss Grace was standing there with a smile on her face.โMatt and the others are here.โ Miss Grace said, causing Elijah to raise his head and gaze at th
The breathtaking garden in the back of the Maxwells mansion was extremely decorated with white tents with a makeshift ceiling designed with floral chandeliers.The altar was framed with a few oversized floral arrangements. It was simple but extremely elegant, and even the weather seemed to be in a good mood that day.โDa-Da!โ Piki shouted in Mrs. Maxwell's arms when she saw Elijah approaching them from the opposite direction. โDada! Dada!โThereโs my Princess,โ Elijah said when he reached them, grabbing her from in his mother's arms and kissing her cheeks repeatedly as her wild laughter filled the air. Then he looked at his mother and said, โI can't believe I am doing this for the third time again.โโYou know what they say. Third time is the charm,โ Mrs. Maxwell replied, smiling. โThis time you and Peach are in a better place in your life. Piki is one year old, and you guys have given yourself a long time to heal from the past. Now, you two can seal your future again and start a new
Six SUVs in rolls came to a stop in front of the Syldavia Supermax prison, and five of their doors immediately opened and a bunch of men in black suits rushed for the third car's back door.When one of them opened it, Bryan Checks stepped out, adjusted his coat, and walked into the building. When the security on duty saw him, they immediately saluted him, and Bryan nodded before walking past them. โHeโs such a faithful son. Even though his father is in prison for posting threats to the life of the president and important government officials and trying to kill him, he still shows up here every year to visit him.โ A guard said as he watched Bryan walk away.โYeah, he's a great son.โ The other guard mumbled under his breath.A while later, after following all the prison procedures, Bryan was placed in a room with his dad cuffed to the table.โGet out of my face!!!โ Mr. Landon screamed as loud as possible. โI donโt wanna see you! Get the hell out!!โA smirk played on Bryan's lips as he

โPiki, stop.โ Dan cried, afraid that she was going to get punished because of him.The noise coming from the children's section got the grown-up's attention, and then they hear a little girl, โPiki is beating up Kelvin.โImmediately, Peach and Elijah ran to the backyard with the other adults, and when the kids saw Elijah coming towards them, they split up, giving him access to his daughter.โGet off him, Piki,โ Elijah said, frowning as his daughter raised her fist to strike Kelvin in the face again. โNow!โWhen she refused to listen, he grabbed her by her jumpsuit and pulled her off Kelvin, hugging her in his arms.Immediately, she started crying on her father's shoulder, choking on her tears.โNow what are you crying about?โ Elijah said, caught between wanting to discipline her and comfort her.โKelvin kicked my gift and hurt Dan!! I just wanted him to stop being mean to Dan!!โ Piki cried, hugging her father's neck.Looking down at Dan, Elijah saw the cut on the back of his hand, and
