A Moment in Destiny novel Chapter 226

Susan Gill glared at him, “Don’t be a prude!”

William Rowland and Sherry Murray looked at each other and smiled. Susan was looking good, they finally felt a sense of relief.

Three months later.

Hospital.

“Oh my god!” Sherry walked out from the inspection room with an ultrasound sheet, “William…”

“How is it?” William was worried as he saw Sherry was looking upset.

“William, it is really two babies, the doctor said there are two babies!” Sherry wrapped her arms around William's neck, she yelled while crying and laughing at the same time.

“Oh my god, it is real! Did the doctor mentioned their genders?” William was unexpectedly surprised.

“No. The doctor said we should not choose one gender over another so he did not tell me!” Sherry pouted her mouth.

“Ok, we will welcome whatever comes to us!” William said.

He wrapped his arms around Sherry’s waist and walked outside.

On their way out, they unexpectedly bumped into Dr. Lee. The moment she saw William and Sherry, she smiled politely.

“Mr. Rowland, are you taking your wife to have pregnancy tests?” Dr. Lee smiled while greeting them.

William nodded, “Hi, Dr. Lee!”

Dr. Lee said again, “Did you tell Ms. Mclean the thing I told you last time?”

When her words came out, William’s expression sank, “She was a nun now!”

“Oh!” Dr. Lee was a little shocked, “Her condition is actually treatable as we have a lot of assistant methods! We can also help in getting someone pregnant!”

Sherry had already understood that Dr. Lee was talking about Lucille Mclean’s infertility, she felt sorry for her in her heart. She then realized she had not seen Reggie Kelly in a long time. She was wondering how was he doing lately. For Lucille, did she really wanted to be a nun for the rest of her life?

“Thank you, Dr. Lee. My wife and I will be leaving now!” Williams did not like it when Dr. Lee mentioned that incident. He was afraid that Sherry might get upset as it had all passed.

Dr. Lee understood what William actually meant, “Ok, congrats to the two of you, Mr. and Mrs. Rowland!”

They walked out of the hospital.

Sherry was sitting in the car, they were both remaining silents.

“William…”

“Sherry…”

The two of them almost said at the same time.

“You go first!” William smiled.

“Let’s visit Ms. Mclean at church!”

“Forget it! Just tell Reggie about it!” William shook his head, what would happen if they meet again? Everything had passed, “Just call Reggie!”

“Ok!” Sherry dialed Reggie’s phone number.

The phone connected, Reggie’s deep voice was coming from the other side, “Sherry, hi, long time no see, how are you lately?”

“Reggie, we are fine, how are you?” Sherry asked.

“I am fine too” Reggie replied.

“A-about Ms. Mclean, have you seen her?”

“...” The other side was silent, “Sherry, she had already decided to be a nun for the rest of her life, just let her be whatever she wanted. Now I am in France, Lucille has gone to Africa to join the International Red Cross Society. And for me, I am getting married soon!”

“Huh…” Sherry was stunned, “Y-you are getting married?”

“Yes!” Reggie’s tone did not seem to be any surprised, “Just congratulate me! I hope this marriage of mine will not end up in a failure!”

“Who is the bride?” Sherry had no idea everything would escalate this fast, ‘Aren’t he deeply in love with Lucille?’

“I have never seen her!” Reggie forced out a faint smile, “Ok, I will pay you a visit when I get back! I hope you will grow old together with William!”

“Thank you!” Sherry felt a sense of lament and hung up the phone, “Reggie is getting married and he has never even seen the bride. Ms. Mclean is in Africa and she seems like she wanted to be a nun forever. William, what should we do?”

William shook his head. The saddest and most hurtful thing in the world was falling in love with someone but could never be together. But, they were both happy, this must be their fate!

“Those are their destiny, we should not be involved. Just hope for the best from the bottom of our heart!”

***

Seven months later.

Delivery room.

“Oh my gosh, why aren’t they out yet?” Liam Brooks could not wait anymore. No one could have known that Sherry and Sarah Brooks were giving birth at the same time.

On the corridor were elders from three different families all waiting by the door.

“It should be soon!” William was nervous as well but he was suppressing his own emotions.

“What is taking them so long, it did not take this long when Susan was giving birth. Why aren’t they out yet!” Cohen Sutton was extremely worried.

Susan had given birth to her son four months ago.

Ashley Jones had also given birth to her son three months ago.

“Ah...ah…” The moment they heard a clear cry from the room, everyone was relieved.

After a short while, two nurses came out while holding two babies.

“Sherry’s family members!” The nurse shouted.

“Yes!” William, John Rowland, and Cohen crowded over. They saw a fluttering red baby, it was so tiny and with a clean face.

“Congratulations, it is a boy! There is still one more inside the maternity womb, it will be born anytime soon!”

“Sarah Brooks had a daughter! Congratulations!” They handed over the other baby.

Liam and the two elders of the Brooks’ family were weeping in tears of joy. Mrs. Brooks put her hands together, “We have both grandson and granddaughter now, it really is a bless from our ancestor!”

“How was my wife?” William did not have the time to check on his kids, he was even more worried about his wife. There was one more, he was so worried.

“The mother is under stable conditions!”

Fifteen minutes later, the nurse came out with another baby, “Mr. Rowland, congratulations, it is a girl!”

“Ah…”

“We do not have a banquet for the wedding. This time we are going to have a feast for the babies’ first month, it must be super luxurious!” Cohen announced that loudly.

“Yes! We need to have a grand feast!” John agreed as well.

Cohen looked at Joshua Brooks in a glowing manner, “I have grandsons and granddaughter now! Hahaha… Joshua, you don’t even have a daughter right? Look at me now, I have both son and daughter but you only have a son. I have a much greater contribution to the Brooks family than you. Besides, I also have my in-laws, I bet you don’t have, right?”

“You…” Joshua was so pissed off, but he rarely held back all his anger, “Today is a big day, I don’t want to quarrel with you!”

“Hum, I am not fighting with you either, I will ask Keegan Fox to set off firecrackers!” Cohen seemed to be even more delighted and had never been more proud. When he was the boss, he was not as proud as he was now, it was so cool!

“Yes, I still have an adopted son who was going to bring me a righteous grandchild, I bet you don’t have it either! You are just a complete failure!”

“Adoptive father, I can’t go, I am afraid that Celia Hickman might fall down!” Keegan rushed there while wrapping his arms around Celia who had already pregnant for over five months. He as a father-to-be was not dared to let go. Before the baby that Celia was carrying had been delivered safely, he did not dare to leave her side by even one step.

“Celia, after giving birth to your baby, you really need to practice your body coordination. That’s fine, I will set off the firecrackers on my own!” Cohen went by himself.

“Wait for me, I am going as well!” Joshua chased after him. He, the big brother did not have any majesty. He was always provoked by his younger brother who was ten years younger than him, it really pissed him off!

“Don’t stay with me, I hate you!” Cohen did not respect his elder brother at all.

“I don’t like you either!”

Everyone shook their head. No one would know when would these two brothers ever stop fighting.

***

One year had passed in the blink of an eye.

“Mommy, brother is so quiet. Do you think he is a fool?” Daniel Rowland frowned and asked Sherry.

“Of course not, your brother just doesn’t like to talk!” Sherry laughed.

“Br-brother”

The girl in her arms was surprisingly active, she was waving her tiny hands and wanted Dan to pick her up. She had already learned how to talk and could clearly shout out everyone, daddy, mommy, grandpa, brother, maternal grandpa, grandma, uncle…

“Mommy, I don’t want to hold her. The last time she drooled all over my face, I think I rather hold brother!” Dan was playing with his younger brother, “Barney, call me brother!”

William and Sherry’s second son was named Barney Rowland while their daughter was named Lillie Rowland. Dan is now named Daniel Rowland.

This pigeon pair was so bizarre. Originally they thought the son would be very mischievous, but turned out he was complete lack of enthusiasm. While for the daughter, she was surprisingly naughty.

“Brother…” Lillie was hopping around excitedly and called Dan as she wanted to be held.

“No! Lillie, I am now afraid of you!” Dan was holding Barney, “Barney, why aren’t you saying anything? Even sister knew how to say the word brother. Come on, just say the word brother!”

But Barney only stared at Dan and smiled, then he lowered his head. He was holding a new toy in his hands, he seemed to be focusing on investigating something.

“I am back!” The moment William entered the door, he saw his wife and children. He walked towards Sherry and kissed her on her face. Every day after work, he saw his wife and played with his children, his life was blissful.

“Dad…” The moment Lillie saw William, she immediately bared her teeth and reached out her hand ferociously and wanted William to hold her. She adored her daddy and brother, and also Uncle Liam, Brother Samuel Rowland. It seemed like Lillie loved men and boys who were good-looking, the moment she saw them, she would jump with excitement.

Just like this moment, she rubbed in Sherry's arms to leap up, Sherry almost could not hold her anymore.

Sherry helplessly and gently said, “Lillie, don’t jump around, mommy is so tired!”

“Oh! Good girl, daddy is going to change clothes!” William left as if he was fleeing.

“Mommy, look, daddy is afraid of sister as well! Sister is a little devil! Even grandpa and Uncle Liam are afraid of her! Sammy is afraid of her, I am also afraid of her, we are all very afraid of her!”

“Wah!” The little devil seemed to realize his brother was badmouthing her, she immediately opened her mouth widely. Her tears were even coming faster than the rain in June and instantly started to cry out loud.

Barney frowned and raised up his head, he took a look at Lillie and seemed helpless. After that, he started playing with his toys again.

“It is ok, Lillie. It is alright!” Sherry was comforting her but then Lillie cried even harder, “Your brother is not calling you a little devil anymore, is that enough?”

“Wah!” But the little devil still could not stop at all.

“Mommy, let Barney calm her down!” Dan was feeling helpless and immediately brought Barney to Lillie, “Barney, sister is crying! Try to calm her down!”

Unexpectedly, Barney listened to Dan and reached his tiny hands out to dry Lillie’s tears. Surprisingly, Lillie turned tears into laughter.

“Mommy, isn’t it amazing? Look at them, they both grew up in your tummy together. I guess Barney already knew how to calm Lillie down when they were little!”

Sherry also felt weird, whenever Lillie was crying, as long as Barney came close to her, she would be fine. It was true that everything had its own vanquisher.

William had already changed his clothes and came into the room. He just heard Lillie’s incredibly astonishing cry and felt very helpless. Luckily Barney successfully calmed Lillie down.

The moment she saw William, Lillie started to jump in excitement again and wanted a hug from William, “Daddy…”

“You hug her, I am so tired!” Sherry shoved her daughter to William’s arms, “How weird is it, Lillie is more difficult to be taken care of than Dan and Barney together. Why do other people’s daughters behave so well but we are the exact opposite?”

William picked up her daughter and saw tears on her pink little face. But now when she was in his arms, she was smiling brightly. William helplessly shook his head, “I hope my baby princess is not a romance addict! Otherwise, daddy will be so worried!”
