Chapter 827 The Final Chapter: The Future, Happiness and Well-being
Christina was giving birth for the first time. After a whole day and night of labor, the baby was finally born.
Paul was overjoyed. He held Christina's sweat-covered face and kissed her several times.
The Watson Family suddenly had two new babies: an older brother, Leo Watson, and a younger brother, Liam Watson.
In Paul's words, it was fate. He believed that their children, Leo and Liam, would have a great relationship just like he and Nicholas did.
A month after Leo was born, Nicholas quietly started planning Caroline's tour.
A world tour was Caroline's lifelong dream.
Originally, Nicholas had planned to fulfill this dream for Caroline after their marriage, but she unexpectedly got pregnant, so Nicholas had to postpone the plan until after she gave birth.
That night, after putting Leo to sleep, Nicholas returned to the room.
He placed Leo in the crib, then walked over to Caroline, kissed her on the forehead, and told her about the tour.
Caroline's eyes widened in surprise.
Nicholas affectionately ruffled her hair. "Because of some misunderstandings, I stopped your tour back then. Now it's time for me to make amends."
"With Sharpe and Paul at the company, during the tour, I'll be backstage cheering you on with Leo. You just focus on playing the violin."
Now that Leo couldn't be without them, they naturally had to bring him along. Josie was also arranged to go on stage with Caroline.
The thought of Josie and Caroline touring together was touching.
Caroline threw herself into Nicholas's arms. "Nicholas, I love you."
"I love you too, Caroline," Nicholas replied.
At the Lancaster Manor, Emma looked at Sophia's growing belly with wide eyes, incredulous.
"Brother came out of Caroline's belly, so will a sister come out of mommy's belly?"
Sophia patted Emma's head. "Yes."
She hadn't expected Simon's prescription to work so well. After taking one dose, her menstrual pain was gone.
After taking two more doses, she was soon found to be pregnant.
The whole family was worried at first, but later Caroline invited Simon to check on her again, confirming everything was fine.
Now Jennifer wouldn't let her handle any Fusion Dynamics Corporation matters, Celeste sent nutritional supplements to the Lancaster Manor every day, and David even went abroad to bring back a world-class gynecologist to City B to prepare for her delivery.
Ruth watched her anxiously every day, not letting her do anything.
Gabriel wanted to help, but found that everything was already taken care of by the family. So he handed the company over to Harrison, only working half-days, and then coming home to accompany Sophia.
Sophia didn't want to eat so many nutritional supplements, but she couldn't refuse Celeste's kindness, so she had Gabriel eat them instead. This led to Gabriel getting too much nutrition and developing a pimple on his face.
As a result, Gabriel called Simon again and told Celeste and Ruth that Sophia couldn't eat too many supplements. Only then did Celeste and Ruth calm down.
But one bowl of supplements a day was still acceptable, and Sophia didn't refuse that.
Since she was pregnant, she wanted to give birth to a healthy baby.
Caroline's tour was scheduled right after Sophia's delivery. On the day Sophia gave birth, Caroline was also at the hospital with her.
They fulfilled their wish of being there for each other's childbirth.
Sophia suffered more than Caroline; the baby was too strong, making the delivery process difficult.
When the baby finally came out, it didn't cry. The nurse gently pinched it, and the baby started crying loudly.
The loud cry woke up the nearly unconscious Sophia.
She opened her eyes wearily. "Is..."
Gabriel, who had his eyes only on Sophia, immediately knew what she wanted to ask.
Gabriel replied, "It's a girl."
Emma's dream of having a sister came true.
It was unclear if Sophia heard it clearly, as she closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
Gabriel held Sophia's hand and gently kissed the back of it.
Caroline set off for her tour in Athenia a month after Sophia's daughter, Ava, was born.
Sophia needed to recuperate, and during this time, Simon came to check on her again. This time, he only gave some precautions and advised her to rest and recuperate for two months.
From pregnancy to childbirth, Gabriel stayed with Sophia the entire time, not missing a single moment of her pregnancy.
This time, Sophia was pregnant with only one child, and it was already so difficult with many things to be cautious about.
Back then, when she was pregnant with triplets, with little money and no one by her side, it must have been incredibly hard for her.
Every time Gabriel thought about this, he couldn't sleep. He would quietly get up to check on the three kids, then come back to check on Ava, and finally hold Sophia in his arms like a treasure.
In the middle of the night, Ava woke up crying.
Gabriel and Sophia were both awakened by the noise.
Before Sophia could say anything, Gabriel had already gotten up to hold Ava.
With a touch of his big hand on Ava's diaper, he knew it needed changing.
"You keep sleeping, I'll take Ava next door to change her diaper."
They had set up a small room next door as a nursery. Ava usually stayed in the nursery, and they only brought her over at night to sleep.
During the day, the nanny helped take care of Ava, but at night, since it was inconvenient for the nanny to come to their room, Gabriel mostly took care of Ava himself.
Sophia lay back down and continued to sleep with peace of mind.
Gabriel skillfully changed Ava's diaper in the next room, fed her a little milk, and after more than half an hour, he came back with Ava asleep.
During the day, the three kids came to see Ava.
Emma reached out and poked Ava's finger.
"Ava is so cute. Ava looks like me." The adults always said who Ava looked like, and Emma thought Ava looked most like her.
Sam exclaimed, "Ava opened her eyes!"
Ethan also looked over and met Ava's clear, big eyes.
As if feeling the love from her siblings, Ava grinned widely.
"Ava has dimples when she smiles. How can Ava be so cute?" Emma, as the big sister, couldn't wait to hold Ava.
Sophia picked up Ava and carefully let Emma hold her for a moment.
Emma was so happy her eyes almost popped out.
Ethan and Sam also took turns holding Ava.
The three kids were excitedly gathered around Ava.
"Has Ava been given a name?"
Ava was her nickname; she didn't have an official name yet.
Sophia: "Not yet."
Gabriel came in gently shaking a bottle.
Sam thought of a name.
"Cecilia."
Sam even ran back to the house to get paper and pen to write down the name.
Cecilia Lancaster.
Sophia really liked the name.
Gabriel had no objections to the name either.
During Caroline's tour, Nicholas had every performance recorded, and afterward, Caroline would send the recordings to Sophia and her parents.
Six months later, Caroline's tour ended, and she returned with the kids.
When Leo was a year and a half old, he was temporarily taken care of by Daniel and Linda, while she and Nicholas took Josie on the next tour.
At the Lancaster Manor, the Blackwood Family had all gathered.
Under the photographer's guidance, everyone found their positions.
In the first row, Celeste and Ruth sat together, Ruth holding one-year-old Cecilia, and Celeste holding Colin's one-month-old baby. Ethan, Sam, and Emma surrounded Celeste and Ruth.
David and Jennifer stood in the second row.
Gabriel and Sophia, Colin and Edith were in the third row.
"OK, just like that, hold the pose, and smile!"
A family photo was taken.
The weather forecast said there would be a meteor shower tonight, so in the evening, the two families sat in the yard having dinner, waiting to watch the meteors.
At eight o'clock, at the moment the meteors streaked across the sky, their happy faces were bathed in starlight.
Despite their past hardships and trials, at this moment, they were happy and warm. In the future, everyone would continue to be happy and healthy.
The End.
