Mommy, Where's Daddy? The Forsaken Daughter's Return

Chapter 101: Spoiled With Love

It was a sunny day in Braeton City.

The streets were full of vehicles, back to their busy lives on a Friday morning.

Ethan and Samantha were at the doctor's clinic, getting confirmation on the status of the pregnancy. It was more than a month ago that the doctor told them a second sac had developed.

Holding her husband's hand, Samantha took heavy breaths. As the doctor began the ultrasound, her eyes were glued to the monitor, wanting to confirm everything was true.

"Relax, honey. Everything will be okay," said Ethan.

The doctor chuckled and said, "Okay, here we go."

"Oh, my goodness," Samantha sighed, seeing that there were in fact two sacs. The other one already developed a fetus, and a heartbeat was evident.

She closed her eyes and sighed before asking, "Doctor, I don't understand what happened here?"

"Well, it's rare." The doctor pointed out to the first sac where a more developed baby is showing. She said, "This is the first fertilized egg which implanted in your uterus much earlier."

"It's possible that after the first fertilized egg was implanted in your uterus, you ovulated again and another egg which was fertilized." With a frown, the doctor resumed, "Another possibility is that Mrs. Wright happened to have released two eggs beforehand, and the other fertilized egg halted development and hang around the uterus, causing a delayed implantation."

The doctor paused before he explained, "You see, when an egg becomes fertilized, it travels to the uterus lining for a few days and implants. That is where the embryo is being aided by the uterus to grow and develop."

"So, it's final. We are having twins," confirmed Ethan.

"Yes, you have two babies, definitely," acknowledged the doctor. She turned to the screen and said, "The first one is three weeks older than the other. This means we need to take extra precautions in making sure that your wife delivers the latest possible for the younger baby to reach full term or at least 36 weeks."

The doctor suddenly chuckled, and she remarked, "May I say, Mr. Wright, your soldiers are very good swimmers for this to happen."

"Hmmm." Ethan felt proud.

In the evening of that same day, Samantha arrived home after eight in the evening. She made sure dinner service was ready before leaving the hotel.

Despite being pregnant and still under observation from the Kannareth disease, Samantha was still on top of things at the First Diamond Hotel kitchen. She returned to work immediately after her baby-making week with Ethan.

Thankfully, the illness had not manifested. There were only instances when her electrolytes would reach the low borderlines, but Samantha easily corrected it with more fluids and energy drinks.

More than just the positive symptoms, Ethan and Samantha firmly believed she was on the road to recovery, especially since they had two babies coming!

"Hi, Rosa, where are the kids? I heard Ethan's already here?" Samantha asked, entering the dining table with no food around, only to find one of the maids cleaning the space.

"Oh, good evening, Mrs. Wright. Your dinner is a special one." Rose pointed to her back, and she said, "They are out in the garden, waiting for you."

Smirking her way to the garden, Samantha was feeling excited as to what her family was preparing for her. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

She noticed how their garden gazebo was full of lights and to her surprise, Amanda was also with her husband and children, as well as Diana."

"What's all this?" She asked, making her way in their direction. Her brows immediately furrowed, seeing several shopping bags all around the space.

Ethan first walked over to Samantha, giving her a kiss on the cheek before saying, "Honey, we wanted to assure you that in this pregnancy, we will be here for you, helping you through your struggles."

"That's why grandma Amanda took us shopping," revealed Kyle before kissing his mother.

Kenzie first pecked on her mother's cheek before showing her the contents of the bag in her hand. She said, "Look, Mommy, grandma said you would love this. I want to be the one to put cream on your tummy."

She was holding two containers of body butter.

"Oh, I love this. Even when I'm not pregnant," replied Samantha with a smile. She kissed on Kenzie's cheek again before accepting the gift. "Thank you, sweetheart!"

"From, me, Mommy, I downloaded apps that can help you with some reminders. I'll put them on your phone later," told Kyle. "I bought a water reminder app, food reminder app, and an overall Mommy's help app that will remind you of your hospital visits, where you can upload your doctor's reminders and a lot more!"

"Oh! How exciting!" Samantha laughed at the idea. "I can't wait to see that!"

"He was up all night, searching for the best app, Mommy," revealed Kenzie.

"We also bought several maternity clothes; from dresses to pants and shorts. Those oversize panties. " Amanda laughed before she added, "I bought a whole set of essential oils and! I promise to check on you frequently, visit more often now that you are expecting."

"The shopper agent said you may need this," Ethan reached for a huge pillow and frowned as he named, "A very... very long hotdog pillow."

Laughter came from the ladies before Amanda corrected her son, "Ethan, it's a maternity pillow. That! Was my savior when I carried you."

"I hired another assistant so I can have two days off with you," Ethan added.

"And we will go fetch whatever you need, Mommy. Just tell us!" Announced Kyle.

"If Ethan is not available to bring you to the doctor, I'll come with you," Amanda promised.

"And me too," offered Diana. "I was there for you the first time. I am happy to be there again."

"Us too! We want to see the baby!" Kenzie eagerly told.

Samantha was all teary-eyed by her family's offer. She took a deep breath before saying, "Thank you, everyone. I feel so comforted and ready for this pregnancy."

She placed a hand on her belly and said, "These two will be full of love and will be very pampered."

She turned to her husband and looked him in the eye. Embracing him on the side, she concluded, "I can already see it, Ethan. Our new babies are going to be spoiled with love... Just like how you have spoiled me, Kyle and Kenzie."

Kenzie laughed out of the blue before she asked, "So Mommy, they won't be secret kids anymore?"

"Hmmm." While Ethan squinted at his daughter's words, Samantha and Diana laughed boisterously.

"No, sweetie. Not anymore," Diana told.

"Yes, we already have Uncle Connor guarding us, Kenzie. Maybe Dad will get another one like Uncle Connor," Kyle suggested.

"Yes, we will do that, Kyle. No more secret kids. You, Kenzie, and your siblings should be known as a Wright and be proud as a Wright," Ethan said. "In fact, I have already prepared names for your siblings."

Samantha's eyes widened. She looked up to her husband and confirmed, "Already? We don't even know the gender yet?"

"Oh, well. Since the doctor said my soldiers are good swimmers, I am betting on having another girl and boy twin," declared Ethan with a confident grin.

"Ah, Daddy. What's a soldier?" Kenzie asked while pouting her lips.

"Yeah, what do you mean, Dad?" Kyle echoed.

There was a second of silence before Ethan answered, "I bought donuts for you guys."

"Yey! We love creamy donuts," both the twins said at the same time.
