The Gray's mansion.
Aunty Lizzy has being crying all night all day, for over two weeks now, Dad seem to have distance himself from everybody, probably giving everyone time to heal.
Mom instead of making amends for her wrong doings she kept tormenting every one with her non stop fights. Everyone gathered at the family lounge.,
Dad had called everyone to make a special announcement.
mom and aunty Lizzy shuts glaring, gazes at each other, while Emily sat quite, still recovering from her wounds.
" I want everyone to listen to what I have to say attentively.
We all seated here have made alot of mistakes, and after much consideration, I have decided to forgive everyone so we can all start, afresh. I haven't being a perfect father or husband to neither of you. He lock eyes with everyone and ended with mom.
" Gianna, I know I have wronged you the most, I don't know if you'll ever find it in you to forgive me, But I want you do know am deeply sorry for everything, mom's eyes wet up as tears drops on her cheeks for the very first time in 13 years.
" Emily dear, nothing can ever measure the amount of love I have for both you and Hazel, you are both my daughters and I love you both Equally. I know it was selfish of me trying to make either of you pay for my mistakes, I promise to Fix everything. I know it'll be very selfish of me if I said I wanted everyone to just go back to normal that's why am willing to give everyone the time they need to heal.
Dad seems to have everything under control as everyone seated had tears in their eyes.
" The God thing is the light at the end of the Tunnel, Carden and Hazel will be having a baby. Our family is going to be blessed with a grand child, and Emily an aunty,
" My baby, mom sobs even more, all the things she did in the past seemed to be slowly killing her, her eyes were filled with so much regret, and she felt awful that she couldn't go back in time to change everything. She should have chosen to stay, if not for anything but for her daughter.
"Excuse me she rushed upstairs, unable to control her tears.
" We're going to be grand parents, aunty Lizzy hugs Dad, smiling within her tears, I know it wasn't good pining the blame of our dead son on Hazel, Gianna made a mistake and I punish Hazel for it, am such a terrible person, Gray, she sobs uncontrollably as Dad Taps her slightly on the back,
" It's all in the past, I forgive you Lizzy and I know Hazel will definitely forgive us too. Emily joined in the hug Still not knowing if she was letting go of everything or not.
" Two weeks had passed, mom still didn't show up, Carden, Ethan and Sky had been doing a great job taking care of me, not getting tired of me constantly scolding them when I get irritated.
Today was our first athenatal check, up,
Ethan was driving us to the hospital and beside him in the front seat, sat Sky, getting angry as Ethan teases her all the time.
" Carden held me tightly, making sure I was comfortable in the back seat, I can't count the number of times I had puck on him this past weeks.
we pulled up at the hospital. Every where seemed quite and abit less crowdy for a normal hospital, Carden made sure to clear all petience for the day, making sure I would be the only one the Doctor would be attending to, am slowly getting use to his method of doing things.
We walk Into the Doctors office while Sky and Ethan waited outside. Carden dresses me into the hospital robe, before carefully laying me on the bed,
I shudder as the Doctor placed a could liquid on my belly, before putting what looked like a mouse onto it.
A picture of the baby pops up on the computer screen before us, we didn't quite understand anything, carefully the Doctor explained everything that needed explanation, and ended with the shokest of them all.
" You'll be having triplets, he points at the three tiny beating hearts at the computer, tears foam at the corner of my eyes, that wasn't strange because I cry even when someone compliments me, Sky said it was because of the baby, I don't know if right now am crying because of the pregnancy hormones, or because I felt immerse joy listening to the heartbeat of my babies for the first time, Carden had tears in his eyes too, and I could tell this was the most emotional moment of our lives, we found hope within all the chaos, I dressed up as we sat with the Doctor in his office,.
" Your baby's are in good health mr and Mrs Smith, and it's too early to determine their sex but will do that as the pregnancy progress, please, stay away from stress, and make sure you eat alot of fruits and drink lots of water.
" Doctor is it safe for us to have sex at this time. Carden asked the question he has been meaning to asked for weeks now, this man truly knows no shame.
" Yes Mr Carden you'll be needing lots of it at the third trimester to prepare the babys coming. His lips curled in a smile.
". You heard what the Doctor said Hazel, you need alot of sex, I couldn't help but giggle at his childish behaviour.
" Thank you very much Doc, and for what you just said I sure owe you a favour, Carden shake hands with the Doctor, as he handed us a copy of the ultrasound.
" Ethan and Sky rush towards us immediately the Doctors door clicks open.
" That was the longest ultrasound in history. So tell us am I getting a niece or a nephew, we kept walking not saying a word I made Carden swear not to say a word to anyone. We had already organised a dinner party at our place to tell everyone the good news.
