“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 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 Kara’s stomach. “Russell…. Hurry up and be born. Later we will play together. I already have lots of plans for the
two of us.”
Emily could only look at Louis with an expression that made everyone pity her.
“Okay. Congratulations to Frank and Kara. We hope your son’s birth will go smoothly, the mother and baby will always be healthy,” Wela said, somewhat cautiously. She didn’t want to offend Emily. The dam of tears could break and the event could be delayed.
“Next,” Wela turned to the other side. “Jeremy’s side. Are you ready?”
Everyone grabbed their glasses.
“Jeremy, Ava, Mrs. Bell, Mrs. Connor, Eva, Barbara, and Philip, please finish your juice!”
Philip and Barbara competed as to who could finish faster. When he won, Philip chuckled with satisfaction.
“I won again,” he whispered to his wife.
Barbara frowned in annoyance. Who knew what bet they made. P seemed impatient to get his prize.
However, when he looked into the glass, Philip widened his eyes. Why is my glass empty?”
Louis gasped. The forefinger was pointed forward. “Uncle Philip swallowed the letter! His stomach must be cut! The pieces must be removed quickly!”
Wela snorted in amusement when she heard that. “Orion and Stella are not seven letters long, Louis. There is indeed an empty glass.”
Before the others leaked any more information, Wela quickly clapped
her hands. “Okay, Jeremy and team, please name the letters you found!”
Jeremy put down his glass with a smile full of emotion. “O.”
“That’s Oscar!” Louis jumped up and down with joy. “That’s-”
Frank immediately grabbed him and covered his mouth. Ava continued her answer while half laughing. “I.”
“O.”
“N.”
Eva crossed her arms because her glass was also empty.
“R” Barbara said the last letter.

“Congratulations, Jeremy and Ava. You will also be blessed with al son!” Wela led the others in clapping.
Jeremy and Ava embraced in joy. Both of them laughed.
“Our child is a boy. He will be dashing and handsome like you,” Ava whispered with a sweet smile.
Jeremy nodded. “Let’s take care of him with all our body and soul, hmm?”
Ava nodded.
Suddenly, the sound of crying broke out. Emily’s cheeks had flood with tears. Louis widened his eyes when he saw it.
“Emily, why are you crying?”
While wiping her eyes, Emily said in a choked voice, “I’ve always prayed that I could have a younger sister. But it turns out, it’s Russell and Orion. Both are boys.”
Feeling both pity and amused, Kara pulled Emily into her lap. “It’s okay

if you’re sad, Emily. It’s okay. Mommy understands if you’re disappointed.”
“Why doesn’t God grant my wish, Mommy? Who will I play with later?
Those boys will definitely play toer.” M

“You can play with us, Emily. No need to be sad. We can’t possibly let
you play alone.” Louis held his sister’s hand, nodding with high arched eyebrows.
“But I still want to have a little sister, Emily sobbed, still pouting. Another tear rolled down her cheek.
Kara cleaned Emily’s red nose with a sheet of tissue. “Why do you want a little sister? Isn’t a little brother the same? He’s cute and adorable too.”
“But then he’ll be like Louis, Mommy. He’ll ask me to play with swords and cars. While in fact, I want to be an elegant princess and play cooking. I also want to play the salon things.”
“Haven’t you always been the princess?” Kara asked softly.
Louis nodded with puffed cheeks. Yes, Emily has always been the princess. I am the great knight who protects her with a sword.”
“But later Louis will play with Russell and Orion. I will be alone si
I’m different.”
“No, you will remain the princess. Let us men protect you from t witch.” Louis poked his own chest with his thumb.
Emily’s sobs began to subside. “And cooking?”
“You cook, we eat. It doesn’t matter.
“But you definitely don’t want to play salons.”
“You can style our hair to make it look cooler. Everything can be arranged, Emily.” Louis wiped her tears then kissed her plump cheek.

Now don’t be sad anymore. Even though I will have two little brothers,
I will still play with you. We will also study and look for books in the library together.”
“You promise?” Emily looked at Louis expectantly.
Louis linked his pinky with hers. “Promise.”
Warmth filled the room when the two toddlers hugged. All teary eyes looked at them. Their breathing became lighter.
After that, they began to take turns congratulating each other. To Frank and Kara who would have another son. To Jeremy and Ava who would soon be parents to a baby boy. To the twins who would soon
be Russell and Orion’s older brother and sister.
Joy slowly returned to Emily’s face. Frank and Kara were relieved to see her spirits revived. Then, while everyone was busy chatting, Barbara and Philip glanced at each other with meaningful smiles.
“Shall we announce it now?” Philip whispered, fiddling with his
eyebrows.
Barbara glanced around. “Yes. Let’s announce it now.”
Philip straightened his back and cleared his throat. His hand grip Barbara’s fingers tightly.
“Attention, Everyone. Sorry to interrupt your conversation. Can Barbara and I say something?”
Everyone looked over with round eyes. “Is Aunt pregnant?” Louis asked, voicing everyone’s suspicions.
Philip and Barbara gasped. “We haven’t given any clues. Why do you guess that?”
“Mommy and Daddy went on their honeymoon to grow a baby. Then, Russell grew in Mommy’s stomach, Uncle and Aunt must have done

that too, right? Is there a baby growing in Auntie’s stomach?” Louis leaned his head forward, bringing his round eyes closer to Barbara.
