Chapter 305 Tears (9)
The next few months passed in the blink of an eye. Lily and Alexander were already teaching Lara how to stand on her feet, and Billy heard that Jean was trying to make Sarah marry with one of his many relatives. However, he was too busy with her own things and refused them all. Around the sa ti, Kate and Natalie began to show signs that it was almost ti for the delivery. When Billy noticed that, he went to his old ho with his magic cart and then brought his grandmother to help in the process. In the end, everyone ended upcoming as well. The twins were almost twelve, and unlike the adults, they looked pretty ecstatic with the speed of the magic cart.
"I am surprised that you ca as well," Billy said.
"You have such a low opinion of …" Lucy said. "Lord Edward ga a few weeks off knowing that this date was approaching. So, there was no need to not co."
"Yeah, but… I thought you would say sothing like knowing her. She can do fine without ," Billy said.
"That sounds like sothing I would say, doesn't it?" Lucy said.
Although Billy hurried, they still barely arrived on ti to see that Kate was already going reaching the final stages of the pregnancy. It seed a bit too soon for that, so everyone got worried. However, the process was as smooth as it could be. Thanks to Anna's experience, Kate gave birth without any difficulties. The newborn baby was a girl that had green eyes and red hair… quite similar to Lara. Still, it couldn't be helped since Kate and Lily were redheads and Billy and Alexander had green hair. However, the girl had the sharp features like her mother, unlike Lara, who looked like Lily, a bit short and round. The girl would grow up to beco a tall beauty like her mother…
"Here, be careful," Anna said while passing the baby to Kate's arms.
"... Thank you for coming, Christina," Kate said after taking a deep breath and showing a tired smile.
Christina didn't cry much after she was born. It seed that she was a bit tired as well, so she quickly fell asleep. Billy was smiling as much as Kate, but it seed that sothing was missing… Kate sighed when she looked at him and then smiled while signalizing him to approach. When he got close enough, Kate passed Christina to Billy.
A bit nervously, Billy held his first daughter in his arms. She was so warm, so light, and she looked like an angel while she was sleeping. Before he could notice it, Billy let out so tears while he was smiling like a fool. He had beco a father… and words couldn't describe what he was feeling right now. The only thing Billy could think was that Christina had just been born, and he already could feel like there was nothing he couldn't do for her.
"Let them rest for a while," Anna said.
Billy left to the living room, and then he t everyone there, and they sighed in relief when they saw his smile. It was a bit weird to see Billy crying, but it was the first ti anyone saw him crying. If he weren't to cry with happiness now, then he never would. Edward couldn't help but count the seconds in order to see his first grandchild. Natalie seed a bit jealous, but then she showed signs that it was her turn… everyone was exhausted due to the apprehension, so the timing was… complicated. Still, Anna didn't fail to help Natalie in her turn.
In the end, things proceeded smoothly once again… After just a couple of hours, a new baby's cries echoed in the mansion. Unlike Christina, who cried just a little bit, the new one called a lot, and that made Billy worry, but Anna said that it was completely normal. The new baby was a boy who had so traces of blond hair and green eyes. It seed that his genes were mostly in Billy's eyes…
"Your na is Hector," Natalie said.
The chances of Kate and Natalie naming the kids like that were one in four, but instead of thinking about that, Billy was just happy that he got a boy as well. Natalie didn't seem that tired, so she didn't want to sleep. She just wanted to see her son and then eventually show him to her mother. Before that, Natalie let Billy hold him for a while as well, but even though he had stopped crying, he began to cry again when he left his mother's soft arms for his father's rugged ones. Billy felt a bit hurt by that since Hector cried even more in his arms than he did when he was born, but it couldn't be helped.
The exhausted group in the living room sighed in relief when they heard the good news. Once everyone relaxed, they quickly fell asleep right there and only woke up the next day.
"Aww… they are so cute," Camilla said when everyone went to visit the babies the next day.
"In the end, Kate really had a girl, and Natalie had a boy. How crazy is that?" Drew asked.
Drew was aware of the nas of Edward's wife and Lucy's husband, but that twenty-five percent chance of happening still was quite shocking for him. In any case, Edward was smiling even more foolishly than Billy before, and Lucy's straight expression was nowhere to be seen. She was having a hard ti stopping herself from grinning.
"They are too young to call you all grandma and grandpa. I know that you are waiting for that, but…" Billy said.
"I wasn't waiting for that…" Drew said. "So, you're even joking around with your own father now, huh."
"Great Grandmother is quite the respectable na, isn't it?" Billy asked while ignoring his father.
"I suppose, but I don't feel like one yet. I am just 54, after all," Anna said.
