Chapter 16: Bonnie POV Life in the Cayman Islands

When I arrived in the Cayman Islands, my first impression of Grand Cayman as the plane landed was the beautiful blue sea and the sandy beaches. I wondered if Callum lived near the beach and how his brother Cadian's business was progressing. The plane landed at the tiny airport compared to Heathrow, Edinburgh International Airport and JFK International Airport. There were no covered walkways attached to the plane. I walked down the steep aeroplane steps and felt like I was going to fall.

I steadied myself and saw Cal waving to me from the viewing deck. Then, I went through immigration quickly. I presented my UK passport; no questions were asked as this is a British Overseas Territory. I walked out, and Callum gave me big hugs as he lifted me off the ground. We then went to the car park while he manned my suitcases.

He did not ask me how long I was going to stay. We drove straight to the business as it was a busy business day. I met his brother Cadian, and we all went to lunch. We had a local dish of coconut, some potatoes, and other tuberous roots I did not recognize. After lunch, Cal took me home to their apartment. Guess what! It was right on The Seven Mile Beach Stretch with its pristine white sand and blue seas, which reminded me of someone's eyes, and that thought gave me comfort.

Callum said to sleep as long as I wanted and that he would return at seven p.m. We will chat when he gets back. That day, I had the best sleep for months.

Cal and Cadie returned at about seven p.m., and we went to dinner. We began talking about the business. Cadie said, "I need someone who knows the details of running a business because I have a huge contract with the Cayman Islands Ministry of Education. They were now initiating placing a computer per child in each classroom. The contract with the government entails installing firewalls on all the computers. We also had to provide a hacker who would work with security to ensure that the system the government is implementing is without access to outside sources. Bonnie, I need a business managing assistant to help me while on the field. When I heard that, I was overjoyed because I needed that job. I said, "Cadie, I am not returning to Edinburgh or the United States. I need this job." Cadie said, "Done deal." I asked Cadie, "Do I start tomorrow?' He said, "Start next week on Monday."

After dinner, Cadie said, "Guys, it's getting late, so let's call it a night. Good Night, you two." Being alone with my best buddy made me so nervous. I did not know how to open the conversation about my pregnancy with Callum. He asks, "Why are you making such a hasty decision to stay in the Cayman Islands?" I asked him, "Are you kidding? This is heaven away from heaven all year, Summer plus the beach. Anyone would die for the opportunity to live here." He laughed and said, "No one would understand how I feel about this place but you." I grinned at him, and we decided to return to bed since it was late.

As I exited the bed the following day, my head spun, and I felt dizzy. I could hardly open my eyes. I made my way to the bathroom and brushed my teeth. As I cleaned my tongue, I gawked and started vomiting. The brothers heard the sound and rushed to my room. They rapped on the door, and I said. "Come in." Cal sat on my bed while Cadie came to the bathroom and rubbed my back while pulling my hair from my face. After throwing up, Cadie picked me up and placed me on the bed. He then covered me with the blanket. Cal said, " Bonnie, did you get poison from the food last night?" I felt incredibly guilty, and I told him to remember I said we would talk. He nodded his head.

My best friend and his brother, who was almost like my brother, sat down and listened. I said, "I am so sorry to bother you boys with this story. I began to cry, and Cadie, the big brother, always protects Cal and me. He came to the side of the bed and hugged me. He said, "Bonnie, we are here for you. You will overcome this." I told them that school was excellent and I had a fantastic job in the United States, but my cousin was not pleasant.

Cal asked, "Who do mean, that awful Elise?" I nodded my head.

I told them that the Alpha was my fated mate. Then Cadie asked, "Bonnie, if he is your destined mate, what are you doing here instead of being in New York with him, " I explained, "He is engaged to Elise. There was this party for his brother leaving for Milan. While at the party, someone kidnapped me, drugged the Alpha and locked us in a room on the same bed. We had sex, and now I am pregnant, but he cannot commit to me until he resolved the engagement with Elise, her parents and his."

The brothers did not judge me, but instead, they cared for me. Cal said. "By the time you are six weeks pregnant, you will have to see the doctor."

Monthly doctor's visits were scheduled, and the brothers each took turns visiting the doctor with me. On my third appointment, I was asked to have an ultrasound. Both brothers came with me. As the technician made the ultrasound, she said, 'Wait a minute, I am picking up a strange sound." She said, "Oh my, Miss Bonnie, you are having twins." The brothers invited their friends to the baby shower three weeks before birth and gender reveal. Cal said all three of us will burst the balloons. Cal pierced one, and it was a girl, and Cadie pierced the next, and it was a boy.

They were more excited preparing for the babies and swore they would be the best uncles ever and spoil the brats rotten. The days to six months have elapsed so fast. Were-babies come at six months instead of nine. Cal took me shopping. Every Night, Cadie came home and helped set up a corner in my room as the nursery with two of everything. Cadie paid for one baby item, while Cal paid for the next. I could not ask for better co-parents than these caring brothers. Every evening, they took me to the beach on long walks and then a soak in the water to relax. My life was good. I had two protectors and two babies coming.

Two days before the birth of the babies, I woke up with an awful headache, and I knew the babies would be here soon. Nathan called that Night, and I told him I felt the babies would be here soon. He shouted, "Babies!" I replied, "Yes, a boy and a girl." He was ecstatic, although I kept him informed about the pregnancy. I withheld the information that I was having twins.

On the day of the delivery, My water broke, and Cal came home immediately and rushed me to the hospital. On my arrival, I was rushed to the delivery room. I could hear Cal parading on the corridor like an anxious father. The boy was breached, so they wheeled me to the theatre. Cal ran behind me and said. Bonnie Mc Tavern, don't you die on me because I will not be the one to tell her parents that, do you hear me?" I waved to Cal.

As I opened my eyes, I saw Cal. " He had a baby in each arm, and he said, Welcome back, Mama, here are your precious babies." He told me. My heart stopped beating on the operating table, and they thought they lost me because I was severely haemorrhaging. He said, Bonnie I was scared for you. Never do that to me again. What will we name them? I said," Meet Brady Calvin Arnold McTavern and Beatrice Candice Rose McTavern.

Our routine was set, and the twins went to work with me. Cadie set up my office as a nursery-com office. I did not have to worry about a nanny caring for my babies. Very quickly, it was the twin's first birthday. Nathan flew in and stayed at the Ritz Carlton. He hosted the birthday party, and my brothers, friends, and I had a whale of a time. The twins each had a cake. I checked Nathan's Facebook later and saw photos of the twins and the Caption My God Children. Nathan showed the twins so much love, but when it was time to leave, he did not want to return to Milan. He found so many excuses not to go. He said, "How will Beatrice and Brady remember him?" His favourite was Beatrice because she was the print of his mother and him, while Brady looked like a mini print of Brian.

The brothers took me and the twins to the beach and the park every weekend. When they were two, I told the brothers they needed to go to Daycare to socialize with other children. They helped me in the selecting schools for the pups. My pups were growing up too fast. Brady was very protective of his sister, and Bea was naughty and spoilt by her uncles. True to his words, Nathan's hefty checks arrived each month with more than enough for the pups. I had a very satisfying life in the Cayman Islands. What more could a girl ask for than two beautiful pups and two brothers who adore her children in a heavenly jurisdiction where everything was slow-paced and quiet? It's a great place to bring up a family.
