The last seven days were hard for everyone! First, Caroline got faint after Helena left her body; not just that, but even Abby died in the hospital after battling for her life.
And Caroline taking to open her eyes, was doing no good.
“Mom…. Dad….” Both Calvin and Colton yelled loudly, running out of their room. “Grandpa… Everyone!! Sarah is awake.” They both yelled and ran back to her sister, who was ill and had opened her eyes after one week. Their parents told them that their sister was ill and they should pray to god for her early recovery, and finally, she was awake.
Caroline lazily opened her eyes and saw her twin brothers looking at her happily.
“You scared us.” Calvin quickly hugged her.
“Finally, you ended your beauty sleep.” Colton said in a serious tone because he had the idea of some prince visiting her and kissing her to wake her up from her sleep. He scoffed at that stupid idea and Disney stories.
They heard multiple footsteps. Soon, the room was crowded with Sophia, Brandon, Logan, Eden, Jake, Nelina, Arya, Colton, and Calvin.
“Now that Sarah is awake!! You two can finalize the marriage date.” Calvin chirped.
“What’s the hurry, Calvin? We can marry in April as well?” Brandon suggested.
“No.” Colton didn’t like that idea. It was already 16th Feb. Why to extend the date for so long when everyone was ready? “March will be better, right, grandpa?”
“Yes! Yes! I don’t see any point in delaying the marriage.” Logan supported.
“What do you think about it, Sarah?”
“I like marriage.” Caroline expressed with dreamy eyes, on which Brandon frowned. “No late in marriage.” She added.
“What about you, Aunts?” Colton asked, arching his eyebrow, looking at Eden and Arya.
“I agree with Colton.” Eden said, and Arya nodded her head.
Sophia smiled, hearing everyone’s suggestion, and looked at Brandon, who was smirking. She knew that this was his plan. The truth was he wanted to marry Sophia as soon as possible, but if the idea would have proposed by him, then others would have made fun of him or would have said that he was eager for the wedding, so he made these words speak from other people’s mouths.
“Okay then. If you all say so.” Brandon said innocently as if he was unaware of the plan that he had made.
“Yeeeee” Calvin jumped in Sophia’s lap as Caroline was already in Brandon’s and Colton was not a hugger. He hated sticking around anyone so much.
“And then we will also use ‘HAYSBERT’ as our last name, isn’t Mom?” Colton questioned because his Grandpa, his dad, and even his sister use HAYSBERT as their surname.
“Yes! Definitely.” Brandon said. “In fact, Sophia, I was thinking, why don’t we get married on papers tomorrow, and then we can start this procedure as well?”
“Sounds perfect to me.” Sophia smiled and looked at the small world around her. Now, she wished for no problem in their life, not at least this soon. She knew that life was the second name of the problem, but it must give her some time to them to relax.
Brandon leaned toward her and kissed her forehead, and then looked at Colton, who was sitting at the side of the bed. “Come here, give mom dad a hug.”
Colton pouted, hearing this while his siblings giggled. Colton left his seat and walked toward his parents; wrapped her tiny hands around both Brandon and Sophia, and kissed them.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
“I’m a big guy, now,” he mumbled.
“Not for us.” Brandon and Sophia said at the same time, hugging his back with Caroline, and Calvin hugged their waist by sitting on their lap.
“Hold on, Hold on! Let me grab my camera!” Logan said with enthusiasm, at which Brandon made an unpleasant face, and Sophia laughed, recalling memories related to Logan’s photography.

A few hours later!!
All the kids, along with their parents, were standing in front of Tiara’s grave.
“This the place where our elder sister is resting?” Calvin asked to which Brandon nodded. Sophia wiped her tears, recalling the horrible memories of that night.
‘I wish I wouldn’t have behaved recklessly.’ Sophia thought and then looked at Caroline. ‘Not that I’m complaining about Caro’s presence in my life. I wish I could have both of them in my life.’ She thought and watched her kids. Colton placed flowers on her grave.
“I… I thought you would have the same choice as Mom. That’s why I asked dad to get Lily. I hope you will like it.”
Caroline placed her teddy on her grave before speaking, “Sisters shares. My favorite teddy is you.”
“For*** you,” Calvin corrected Caroline.
“My favorite teddy is for you,” Caroline repeated her sentence but this time without any mistake.
“Hello, Sister!! I got chocolate for you.” Calvin greeted Tiara’s grave cheerfully. “Since I didn’t know which is your favorite flavor. I got each and every flavor for you.”
Jake took all the kids after their prayer ended. Sophia dropped to her knee near her daughter’s grave and touched it with her teary ear. She remembered that kick that she felt when her princess was there in it.
‘Congratulation, it’s a girl.’
Those words rang in her mind, remembering when Doctor Gray confirmed about it. She couldn’t even carry Tiara in her arms, not even for a once. All she had was a picture that Brandon had taken to find a baby matching her.
She hugged Brandon and cried bitterly even though Brandon was crying, recalling the little memories that he had with her little angel.
