Planned Baby

Chapter 12 ALISTAIR AND AMELIA

Time passes very quickly. I'm in the last month of my pregnancy. I might see my twins anytime soon.

Luna and Kaela (Ulie’s sister) organize a baby shower for me. I wanted to say no because I don’t want the media to find out about the father of my babies. Though my pregnancy got exposed, we were able to hide from the media that Ulie is the father of my twins. But they won’t budge. So I had no choice but to let them do whatever plan they have for the baby shower.

I know that we can’t hide the twins’ father forever, but as much as possible, I want to have a safe delivery first before I face the potential crisis that I need to deal with.

I formally met Ulie’s sister, Kaela Ulyssa Escarrer, a week after I met their parents. Ulie and Kaela were the ones in charge of their hotels in Asia. She had a meeting in Dubai last week, so she was not there when Ulie formally introduces me to their parents.

When she arrived in the Philippines and heard the news about Ulie and me, she asks his parents and brother to invite me for dinner.

She was the girl I met in the mall when I was buying clothes for the twins, and Ulie approaches me.

She was shocked when she saw me at the dinner.

Flashback

“I knew something is going on between you and my brother!” She said when she recognizes me.

I gave her a forced smile. She still remembers it.

“Kaela, did you already know Ellie?” Aunt Adelia (Ulie’s mother) said. NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

“I don't know her personally. But I already met her once in the mall. Brother Ulie approaches her, and at that time, she looks pissed at brother.” She explained and chuckled.

Their parents look surprised by that story. I assumed that they didn’t expect that someone is not showing interest in their son. I can’t blame them. Ulie is a total package and any girl would want to be his girl.

“At that time, I was asking her if she was pregnant because she was buying infant clothes. She wanted to hide it, so I guess that's why she was pissed.” Ulie said and shrugged.

I glared at him. Even though what he told them is true, still he should not say that. I am feeling embarrassed now because of what he said.

I think Uncle Laertes noticed my discomfort. That is why he changes the topic.

“We can continue our chat later, but right now, let's head to the dining room. The food is ready.” He said.

“Okay, dad. Let’s go, sis!”

Kaela grabbed my hand, and we went to the dining room together.

“Hey Kaela, stop harassing Ellie!” Ulie warns his sister.

Kaela rolled her eyes. “Whatever, brother! I will steal her from you.”

“You wish! She's already mine!” Ulie fight back.

I just shook my head. They were acting like a kid.

End of flashback

After that dinner, Kaela is always calling me. She will always tell me how much she likes me for his brother. We became close because of her effort.

She‘s also close with Luna. She often visits me in my office, which is where she met Luna and become close. Sometimes I would ask her if she doesn’t have any work to do because of how often she visits me and Luna.

I don’t have any problem with her visiting me and Luna. But I am just concerned that people might get an idea because of her sudden closeness with me.

And now I completely understand why she keeps on going in my office. Luna and Kaela are planning a baby shower for me which I appreciate though for me it’s not needed anymore.

Ulie and I were now in the venue for our baby shower. He fetches me at my penthouse.

They only invited a few people- these people were the only ones who knew our situation.

The people they invited were Ulie’s parents, Nick and Jace.

They prepared a variety of games and activities. All the guests and even Ulie and I have no choice but to participate in their games.

After the fun games, we eat food, and after that, they proceed to the main event, which is their gift for my twins.

They all prepared two gifts—one for my baby girl and another one for my baby boy.

I sincerely thank them for their efforts and the love that they are giving now to my twins. I am very sure that my twins are pleased.

Ulie is staying at my penthouse in the meantime to assist me in my delivery.

We were having dinner when I felt my tummy hurt. I told Ulie about it.

“Do we need to go to the hospital? Wait, let me get the things we need first.” Ulie said panicky.

“Okay.” The only thing I can utter.

The pain I'm feeling now is no joke. I’m sure that the twins will come out any minute.

True to that, when we reach the hospital, my water broke. The nurse assisted me to the delivery room.

I am grateful that Ulie was with me in times like this. I will really need his support.

“You can do it, Ellie. I am here to support you. The twins love you.” Ulie utters to encourage me.

It was hard, but my only concern now is to deliver my twins safely.

Baby boy is the first one that came out.

“Good job Alistair Kade! Good job, Ellie!”

After two minutes, the baby girl came out.

“Good job Amelia Quin! You've done it, Ellie! I'm so proud of you!”

I smiled at Ulie. I am exhausted now, but I'm happy.

The moment I heard the baby cry, I passed out.

“Baby Amelia looks like you, Ulie, while Alistair looks like Ellie. Your twins are so beautiful.”

“Let me hold baby Amelia, mom.”

Those were the voice I hear. I opened my eye, and I saw Ulie with his family.

Ulie notice me, he went to me and kissed my forehead.

“How are you feeling now?” He asked in a gentle voice.

“I’m okay. Where are the twins?” I asked.

“They are here. Wait, I will call the doctor first.” Ulie said, then he presses the button near my bed.

“Here’s your twins Ellie. They are both beautiful babies. Alistair looks like you while Amelia looks like Ulie.” Aunt Adelia said.

I smiled at them and look at my two babies.

Indeed, they are beautiful. Thank you, Lord, for this great blessing. Finally, I am not alone anymore.
