GETTING THE HEART OF THE CEO

Two months later.

“AY! AY! AY! UFF UFF UFF,” Stefany cried out.

“You can do it, love, push, push.”

“Ahhh Ahhh Ahhh, I can’t take it anymore,” she exclaimed, sweaty.

“Just a bit more, Stefany, here it comes, here it is,” the doctor commented.

The spouses heard the first cry and smiled with happiness, but that smile on Stefany’s face didn’t last long; another strong pain made itself known.

“It’s a girl,” the doctor passed the baby to the pediatrician for examination.

“Once again, I pushed hard, Stefany, here I see the head,” the doctor repeated.

“Ahhh Ahhh Ahhh.”

Another cry echoed in the delivery room.

“Here it is! It’s another girl, once again, Stefany,” the doctor handed the other baby to the pediatrician.

“I can’t take it anymore, I can’t… Ahhh Ahhh.” -You can do it, love, our prince is still to come.”

“Stefany, come on, he needs you, strong push, push,” the doctor shouted.

“Ahhh Ahhh Ahhh.”

The third cry made its presence, and the doctor showed the baby to the pediatrician for cleaning.

“Congratulations! You have three healthy children-a boy and two girls. Stefany, you are a strong woman. Rest for a moment, and once they clean you up, they’ll transfer you to a room,” said the attending doctor.

Maximiliano, still holding his wife’s hand, kissed her on the forehead.

“Our babies are beautiful. Thank you. I’ll go share the news with the family. I love you, my love.”

He left the room with a wide smile, and in front of his family, he exclaimed, “I’m a dad to two girls and a boy.”

Cecilia, the second in the family, was the first to hug him.

On Saturday, the Girt sisters went to the foster home to visit the children and give them a gift.

Jimena couldn’t believe what the girls were telling her.

“Really? Are you giving that house to the children?” She was impressed by the news her girls were giving her.

Courney hugged her from the side and rubbed her arm on the other side.

“We experienced many good and bad things in that house. We want it to be useful for those who need it, especially you, my angel, and your children.”

Lindsey was facing her, holding her hands.

“Jime, you are a part of us, and thanks to your love, we didn’t lose our way. That’s why we want you and the kids to move into that house. It’s renovated, with 10 rooms on the second floor and four on the ground floor that were for service staff, but we can adapt them for the older children. Most rooms have bathrooms, and the outside is spacious.” She squeezed her hand. “The best part, Jime, is that all of us-Kyle, Maximiliano, Freed, Oscar, Dexter, Isa, Janna, Stefany, Luan, and us-will build an area outside with several classrooms so that the children can have separate classes based on their knowledge and ages. And we will take care of the expenses for their education.”

“Thank you, my girls. I don’t know how to thank you all for this wonderful news,” Jimena started crying with joy.

Don’t cry! You’re going to make us cry too.”

“Where are the others to thank them for their kindness?”

“They couldn’t make it, but don’t worry about that. When they move, we’ll all be there to welcome them,” Lindsey stated.

Jimena hugged her two girls, and they discussed how the move to the new foster home would be.

One year later.

Kyle wanted to spend a weekend alone with his wife at the beach house. But he couldn’t convince her, so he resigned himself to go with the kids.

The family of seven arrived at the beach house, which Kyle had expanded so that each family member had their own space.

“Kids, we’re here,” Kyle announced, parking in front of the house.

“Yay! I want to go to the beach already,” a cheerful Lucia exclaimed.

“Let’s first unpack our luggage, settle in, and then we can take a stroll on the beach.”

“Can I wear my new swimsuit?”

“Of course, princess,” Lindsey replied to Luna.

So, the family carried their belongings and entered the house.

Kyle was preparing a refreshing drink for the kids when someone knocked on the door. Perplexed, he opened it, only to find a group of intruders-couples with their kids.

“What are you all doing here?”

“What do you think we came to do? We’re here to enjoy the beach,” Freed declared, holding Fernanda.

“Welcome!” Lindsey appeared behind Kyle.

“Did you know they were coming?” Kyle frowned.

Lindsey shrugged and with a shy smile replied, “Kyle, it was something that came up from a comment I made. Well, one thing led to another. You know how our friends are.”

Kyle sighed and reluctantly let Freed with Janna and Fernanda, Oscar with Courney and Oriana, Dexter and Isa inside.

As he was about to close the door, he heard Maximiano say, “We brought everything for a barbecue.” He had arrived with Stefany, Max, and the triplets, Sara, Samara, and Marlon.

“The barbecue is the men’s job because the women came to enjoy,” Luan intervened at that moment.

The couples settled in their respective rooms.

Kyle was annoyed because, in the end, he had to sleep with his kids on a large bed.

At the end of the day, friends made a bonfire outside the house while the kids played. They watched the sun set into the sea, displaying a beautiful sunset, and all the couples were huddled around the bonfire.

Freed stood up, raised the drink in his hand.

“I want to toast to each and every one of you, first for the friendship. I love and appreciate each one of you, for the family we’ve managed to build, for our children, and for all the others who are part of our brotherhood.”

Everyone toasted with emotion and mixed feelings, then hugged each other.

Kyle asked Isa to watch his kids for a while. He took his wife’s hand and led her for a walk along the beach. He helped her climb onto a large rock and sit, then positioned himself behind her, embraced her, and, looking at the ocean, whispered.

“Thank you, my love, for the great family you gave me. I have to thank your sister for sedating you and changing the keys to the rooms. If that hadn’t happened, believe me, I wouldn’t be a happy man. With you, I discovered love as a couple, love for the children, and now love for the intruders.”

Lindsey burst into laughter and, clinging to his arms, replied, “I’ve loved you since the day I saw you shirtless in that hotel room. Never forget that, my ogre.”

The two stayed embraced, gazing at the sunset over the sea.Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
