Chapter 827 - 827 VALENTINE BABIES
She wanted to see her children and hear them cry for the first time thus; Cayenne was administered with regional anesthesia to keep her wide awake during the C-section. Cheska checked Cayenne first several times to make sure that the effect of the drugs was working perfectly fine for her.
“Hon, can you sing me a song?” Cayenne muttered while nervously looking at him. Since Stefan was holding her hand, he felt her shaking when Cheska said that they would begin the cesarean operation to get the babies out successfully. “Any song will do. Just keep me distracted until we get to hear their voices.”
Stefan leaned closer and kissed her white knuckles while keeping his eyes on her. She was his world and it wouldn’t change even if they have children. She would remain the center of his gravity that would keep him grounded all the time. Right now, all Stefan could see was his wife who was beautiful as ever even though she looked a little pale from the anxiety of giving birth.
“If there were no words
No way to speak
I would still hear you
If there were no tears
No way to feel inside
.....
I’d still feel for you
And even if the sun refused to shine
Even if romance ran out of rhyme
You would still have my heart
Until the end of time
You’re all I need, my love, my valentine
All of my life
I have been waiting for
All you give to me
You’ve opened my eyes
And shown me how to love unselfishly
I’ve dreamed of this a thousand times before
In my dreams, I couldn’t love you more
I will give you my heart
Until the end of time
You’re all I need, my love, my valentine”
Before he could finish the song, the first sound of faint crying made its way to their ears and Stefan jerked his head instantly to see the child. It was a natural movement that he never realized he was doing. He just wanted to see what the child looks like.
“Oh my! What an honor to greet the first princess.” Cheska exclaimed while the nurses cleaned the baby to wipe away the blood and cut the umbilical cord. It was truly a surprise since they were not able to determine the gender of the third child. Who would have thought that she would come out first?
Stefan was also stunned to see the little life wriggling slowly when the nurses wrapped her in a soft cloth. He wanted to hold her, too.
“Here’s the second child!”
Stefan watched as Cheska took the babies out of Cayenne’s stomach and he has forgotten that he already stopped singing.
“Here’s the third.”
As soon as the third child was taken out, Cayenne finally heaved a sigh of relief. She was so glad that they were born safely though, they will have to be taken to NICU for further monitoring.
“They’re beautiful,” Stefan commented and his smile was reaching his ears. He probably didn’t notice it. “Wifey, the babies look so much like you. They certainly got your nose and your eyes.”
“That’s too early to tell. I think they will look more like you.”
“Oh! And we have a girl!”
“Yeah, I heard it, too. I am so happy.”
“What shall we name her? And the boys? Ah! We really have a princess. I can’t wait to carry her in my arms.”
Cayenne just grinned while listening to his chatter. Not long ago, he claimed that he didn’t care about his children and that she will be his sole focus in their family. Looking at him now, it seems like his attention will be taken by someone else.
“I know!” Stefan exclaimed and excitement was apparent on his face. “Her name will be Jahzara. It means blessed princess and since she’s the only girl, it suits her perfectly. Ayena Jahzara. That’s it! A beloved and blessed princess.”
Seems like she has no say at this point. He already decided what to name their child and honestly, she loves the name as well.
“And the boys?”
“Hmm...Let me think about it.”
“How about Aziel and Zeki?”
“Great! They will be her sword and shield. Strong and clever. Well- thought.”
Without saying it, Cayenne could already tell that this man who doted on his wife will be doting on his daughter and sons in the future. She could foretell the incoming headache she will be facing head-on in the years to come.
Cayenne only got a few seconds to hold her children before the nurses took them away to bring them to NICU. Stefan didn’t even get the chance to hold them and he pouted on the side from the disappointment.
After stitching the wound, Cayenne went to sleep. She finally relaxed herself now that her children were safe in the hands of the nurses. Stefan wrote down the names of the children for labeling and he was very happy while writing them.
The eldest turned out to be a daughter. As soon as Luiz heard the news of the baby’s gender, he kissed the angel figurine he was holding.
Kyle was happy upon hearing that they got a niece and nephews as well. Cayenne’s home will be filled with laughter soon.
Magnus, Ferdinand, and Reuben followed the nurses to see the children as well but they could only watch them through the glass window since the children needed to develop properly and that means, they can’t be contaminated with sickness coming from adults.
“Dad, the eldest is a girl,” Magnus commented beside his father while watching the babies. “Stefan will most likely keep her out of the business world. He wouldn’t want her princess to deal with stressful matters. You know him.”
“Why bother with the eldest if we can have the sons? Also, I don’t care who among them will become the next successor. I just want them to live happily. I don’t want them to be restricted like what we did to Stefana and Alexander.”
Hearing their conversation, Reuben only smiled. Although it was a bit too late, at least, these old folks beside him have realized their mistakes and didn’t plan on continuing those to the new generation.
[Emerald, look at your grandchildren. You must protect them well like what you did all these years to your kids. I know you would do great as their grandma if only you have the chance.]
No one knew what Reuben was thinking and nobody really cared. Right now, they were just happy that Cayenne gave birth to her babies safely. The bodyguards have told the others about the safe delivery and soon, news of Cayenne giving birth has spread far and wide.
“In the end, their children would turn out older than our child,” Monet commented while reading the text message that Stefan sent to her and Thomas. “I was even thinking of pairing our child with their daughter if they have. Who would have thought that she would come out first?”
Thomas couldn’t stop himself but chuckled at her comments. She didn’t know that she already thought that far ahead of him. It never occurred to him to pair their child with Stefan’s babies. He wasn’t fond of arranged marriages.
