Chapter 59 Chapter 59 - A Complete Family

"Where are you staying?" Mom Darcie asked.
"At the hotel, Aunt!" Nikolai answered back.
"How long have you been here? You would better stay here at home!" she suggested.
"Yeah, Nicks! So we can bond more. This house is big enough for us." Phil also agreed with his mother.
"Are you sure? I would love to stay here." Nicks retorted with a smile.
"But..." I wanted to talk.
"Eve, let Nicks stay here. I insist! Even if he is a rich man, staying in a hotel is a miserable thing. You are always alone in there." Mommy Darcie asserted.
We have all conceded that Nicks will stay here than in the hotel.
"I am happy for you because you have found your Dad." When we were in the room.
"It is just that I have not been with him either. But I am still delighted because he looked for me when he was still alive." While I was arranging the pillow on the bed.
"My dad can be your dad. I will make you a real princess. I do not want you to have a hard time!" And he hugged me from behind.
This kind of moment! It is so precious to me. I cannot afford to lose him anymore.
"I do not want to depend on Nicka's fairytale. Fairytale is just fiction, Love!
Let me feel what is in your heart. Let me have your reality. I do not need to be a princess that would receive fibs. I wish to be Eve that would receive sincere love from you. " I turned to him.
"Well! Everything is just coming from deep within my heart!
When I met you, I forgot how to tell an untruth, Love!" And he cuddled me.
It is delightful to have Nikolai in my life. Surely, I will have a well-sleep and a sweet dream.
We sleep while embracing each other.
My morning is wonderful. Especially, seeing Nicks' face when I opened my eyes.
My prince is handsome and impressive as always.
Being with the person you love is magical. You will learn to believe in fairytales.
"Doctor, I need to bring Eve home in Manila. Can she still travel?" Nicks inquired with my obstetrician.
"She does not have any serious difficulties in her first trimester. It was just weight loss but in another case it is normal.
Eve also has no case of spotting. I just recommend that you stop over so she can loosen up while on your way going back to Manila.
You have a long trip. Just to lessen the numbness of her legs." The Doctor deciphered.
We went straight home to bid goodbye to Mommy Darcie and Phil.
"We are going to visit there. I like to meet my nephews. Eve, tell Nicka how handsome her Uncle Phil is!" Phil kidded.
"Of course! I will wait for you to visit us in Manila!" And I held Mommy Darcie's hand.
"We will soon visit you to see Nicka and to meet Nicks' family.
Be careful! Call as soon as you arrive. Nicks, you take care of Eve and the baby." Mommy Darcie reminded him.
Nicks bobbed. The three of us cuddled before Nicks and I finally left.
Nicks promised Mommy Darcie and Phil to look after me, Nicka, and the baby.
"I am excited to get home. I miss Nicka, Mommy Vina' and Daddy Ramon. Also Ella and Luigi." While we were on the getaway.
"They all miss you too! Next time, do not just escape. Let us discuss things before we both finally decide about it." Nicks advise.
I grabbed one of his hands.
"Thank you, Love! You searched for me. And now we are together again!" I said with a smile.
"I am glad and finally I found you and you came home with me today.
I love you!" And he bussed my hand.
"I love you too!" I announced.
"I love you, Nicka, and our new baby! I cannot explain the gladness. This is the first time I would experience it.
I feel sorry about Nicka but promise, this time, I will do my best for them both!" he glanced at me.
Nicks is a responsible father. Even if he does not know yet that Nicka is his real child, he still looks after her like his own.
During surrogacy, he gave me everything I needed. He ensured my future and let me continue with my education.
This time, he will not give only his money, his presence and love are even more important.
We stopped over as the obstetrician advised us to do.
I saw a fancy children's ring. I was pleased with the way it looked. It could be a nice present for Nicka.
It is just made of plastic but it looks cute.
I was surprised when Nicks appeared in front of me. He took the ring and put it in my hand.
"It fits your finger perfectly." He mumbled.
"I will take it home for Nicka!" I announced.
When can I wear a ring around my finger? When will I receive an engagement ring?
Oops! I do not want to expect. It will come about at the right time.
At the right time that arises inside Nicks to commit not just because I am the mother of his children. But because I am the woman he loves.
We finally arrived in Manila.
"Mom --- Mommy" Nicka's eyes abruptly widened.
"Nicka!" And I held out my hand.
She ran moving towards me and cuddled me.
"Nicka, be careful!" Nicks' rebuke.
"Why? Is Eve sick?" Mommy Vina inquired.
"Mommy Vina! Daddy Ramon!" I also hugged them.
"We have an announcement! Dad, Mom, Nicka, we will have another baby here at home again." Nicks was delighted to declare.
"What? Why? How?" Nicka wondered.
"There is a baby in my womb! I am pregnant! You will have a sibling, Nicka" I looked at them one by one.
"We should celebrate!" Mommy Vina came over and caressed my belly.
"You should make lots and lots of babies. I want more kids to run here at home! I wish to hear their noise every day." Daddy Ramon also said happily
"Good morning!" The newcomer greeted.
She smooched Mommy Vina, Daddy Ramon, and Nicks.
"Nhella? Oh! Glad you came home!" Nicks stood up.
"Wait! Dear, Klint, hurry. Klint, give our gift to Nicka.
Eve, this is for you!" she moved toward me.
I am surprised. Nicks' sister already knows me and Nicka?
"Thank you, Brother Klint, Aunt Nhella, and Uncle Jeric," Nicka announced abruptly.
"Do you already know them?" My poor question.
"Yes, Eve! We already know you well. This brother of mine only talks about you every time we meet.
Even Mom and Dad, tell us good things about you!
Eve, thanks! Nicka made our house happy. I owe you a lot." Nhella clasped my hand.
"Aunt Eve, I am a fan of yours! Can we take a picture? So that I can brag to my friends." Klint also moved toward me.
And they snickered.
"Klint, that is a sign that you inherited that from your Uncle Nicks!" Daddy Ramon's hoax.
What? Wow! I have done something good again so that God gives me unending blessings.
"Sure! Come!" And Klint and I took a picture.
"Let us take a family photo! Set your phone, Klint!" Suggestion by Jeric.
And 1, 2, 3 say cheese!
Why is this family so sensible? I never thought that there are still affluent people as considerate as them.
Nhella was often visiting here when I was away. Mommy Vina and Daddy Ramon told her all about the events.
Finally, I have an older sister.
"Nicks has long dreamed of having a child," Nhella exclaimed.
We watched the cousins playing a board game.
Klint is a young man but he is still willing to play with Nicka.
Nicks and Jeric are also discussing something.
"He is the best, particularly with Nicka. For sure, he will do the same thing with our new baby." I stared at Nicks.
"Just be patient with him, Eve. My brother is sometimes childish but when he loves a woman, that is genuine and sincere.
I hope if you have a problem, talk to each other first. And you only listen to him. Not to what others will say.
He loves you! We can all feel that! And your situation is just entirely destiny!
You are meant for each other!" Nhella's litany.
Nhella is right, is destiny!
It is serendipity!
I have read a quote and said, "You do not meet people by accident. There is always a reason. A lesson or a blessing."
My destiny is both a lesson and a blessing.
I am just proud of myself for overcoming it all.
I learned a lot from my mistake.
And I am grateful for Nicks. He makes everything a blessing.
After all the hardships and difficulties that my existence had offered me, the day Nicks came into my life, everything has changed into a gift.
