Once again, I am at my mother's place with no signs of Christian. Now where did he go this time? I sighed deeply and looked at Roger and Juliette playing with the kids and are so engrossed in it. Mother then came, she smiled and sat down. I thought it would be awkward for them to meet after all these years but it seems like everyone is on good terms now. They are quite friendly, I didn’t expect it.
"By the way Sophie, Why are you so stressed?" Juliette asked tickling Aletha and earned a giggle from her and grinning.
"Once again, Where is Christian?" I said putting my palm on my chin. Well, the advantage of coming here is that Mother takes care of the kid and I can finally have a peaceful sleep but it never lasts long as their hunger takes over.
"Oh, Look, It seems like she is also growing a tooth." Roger said as I quickly got up from my seat and went to see Aletha. Something white shone in her mouth, I gave my finger to her as she held it with her whole hand, giving me great satisfaction. I smiled and then she put it in her mouth and began to chew on my finger. I chuckled but then I felt the sharp tooth pricking my hand. I yelped and quickly pulled my hand away.
"Ouch! Seems like you are right, Roger." I said blowing my finger. I smile sadly while caressing her cheeks.
"You are not happy?" Mother asked.
"No! I am really happy. It's just you know the time when Christopher grew a tooth, He was so ill." I said worried.
"Oh dear, Babies get sick when they grow a tooth. I still remember Eugene used to cry all the time in sickness." Upon hearing that a shiver went down my spine in dread, I clearly did not want my children to cry.
Juliette then gave my shoulder a gentle squeeze and said, "I am sure you can handle it. You are a great mother." I smiled at her and kissed the tiny hands of my baby.
And then! I heard a loud cry, it seemed like Christopher woke up. I went to him as I hugged him. He was crying badly which made my heart clenched. I pulled him in my embrace while rubbing his back. I began to hum the melody of Aunt Eleanor to him and upon hearing it, he finally calmed down. The harmony is magical.
After soothing him, we walked out.
"Is he okay?" Mother asked, concerned.
"Seems like he had a nightmare." I said still rubbing his back. We sat down as I slowly pulled away and he began to cry again. I quickly pulled him close to my chest again.
"He must be scared. Don't pull him away from you." Roger said. I nodded as we remained like that.
After a while, Eugene came,
"Welcome home, You are early." I said, rubbing Christopher’s back. He came and greeted everyone. He sat beside me and looked at Christopher.
"He's asleep." Eugene said.
"Oh." I then stood up and went to our room and gently placed him on the bed. I kissed his forehead and walked out. I then narrowed my eyes in anger at Aletha.
"Her Majesty, Aren't you sleepy?" I asked her. I sighed and put my hand on my waist.
"Learn something from your brother. He is sleeping like he should, unlike you." I scold her to which she giggles. “Aletha, be a good girl and be sleepy for once.” I continued which obviously didn’t have any affect on her.
I then took her from Eugene and he complained,
"I just came back, at least let me play with her more."
"Eugene let them sleep. Or else she'll wake at night." I took Aletha and after struggling for I don't know how long, she finally fell asleep.
It evening and I walked out and plopped on the sofa and put my legs on Eugene and asked,
"So, Why so early?"
"First, Remove your legs and second, I finished my work early." I smiled cheekily and turned away.
Roger and Juliette smiled at us. And then the bell rang.
"You go." Me and Eugene said at the same time.
"I am not going." Again.
We both began to use our phone turning oblivious to the sound of it.
"What if it's Christian?" And that was enough for me to go. I quickly went to the door and opened it and saw Henley... holding a dress.
I welcomed her as she greeted everyone.
"Sir told me for you to get ready and come." She said, smiling widely.
"And where's he?" I asked.
"Preparing the surprise he was trying so hard to give you."A gasp left my lips as I grinned. I couldn’t believe it. Finally! After all this time.
"And kids?" I asked timidly.
"We'll take care of them, right Henley?" Eugene said.
"I'd love to!" She clapped her hand in blithe. I then gave them instructions on what to do if they woke up. How to calm them and what to give them to eat other than milk.

I smiled widely looking at my enchanting form. I wore a red backless above-knee frock with lace sleeves along with matching pumps. I applied a little make and red lipstick. I wore the matching jewellery and of course the pendant he bought for me on our honeymoon. I looked alluring. Just what I want.
I smiled widely looking at my elegant from. Beauty bright as the radiant smile. My brown hairs falling on my back, curled at the borders. Looking so appealing, I am ready to bewitch my husband. With those aesthetically prepossessing attributes, I walked out and everyone gasped, looking at me and gave me their blessing.
I took a deep breath and went, finally wanting to see the surprise which was left hanging in our hearts for quite a while.

Christian was waiting for me outside our new home. I walked down and both of our eyes widened looking at each other. He is looking so flawless and so pleasing to one's desires. So alluring features that I just couldn't take my eyes from him. And he beguiled me in one glance. He was wearing a black shirt with a black leather jacket and black ripped jeans. His hairs were messy making him more beautiful. He is all black but that color suits him a lot. He is looking so handsome. So exquisite that I can't avert my gaze from him.
We both realized that we were gawking at each other and we quickly closed our mouths and averted our gazes and chuckled. Then he walked closer and held my hands as he began to rub the back of my palm with his thumb,
"You are looking so captivating." He complimented.
"You are also looking enchanting." So did I.
"You like this style?" He asked.
"I love it." I grinned. “Just look at your charm.” I breathe out.
We both then looked down and he began to say,
"Finally, The day we are dying has come and nothing can go wrong. It is the day I was preparing for all this time." I smiled and gave him a nod. “Me too.” I replied.
He held my one hand with his as his other hand motioned to our home,
"Welcome to our new home." He said in a deep voice. I lifted my gaze as I walked with him, looking at him make my heart flutter in happiness.
Under the seduction of the moon and the sweet dusk which is similar to perfection, The darkness enhances the sight more than ever and just not that but also aroused us to shine into the light and live this everlasting moment.
I looked at our new home. It's a mansion but not as big as the previous one- too much to my satisfaction. This is the place where we're gonna start our lives anew.
We entered as a carpet was present to welcome me from here to the main entrance. When I took a step inside, I was welcomed with the showers of petals of different flowers. I gasped as my eyes glimmered in awe. I felt so elated when I saw all the helpers standing in line to welcome me while smiling at me. The fragrance of the flowers filled my nostril giving me deep satisfaction, I felt so happy.
We walked further and stopped at the entrance. Christian turned to me and bent on one knee. He held his hands in mine as a blush crept upon my cheek. He gave the look of immense fondness and began to say,
