Dangerous connection (Freenbecky)

Chapter 47:

A month after Mon's arrival, the group found themselves back in the hospital, this time for Irin and Noey. The excitement in the air was palpable, but so was the nervousness. Irin had been carefully monitored throughout her pregnancy, and now, at six months, the doctors had decided it was time to deliver her baby due to minor complications.

Noey held Irin's hand tightly as they wheeled her into the operating room. "You're going to be amazing," Noey whispered, her voice shaking with emotion. "We're going to meet our little miracle soon."

Irin smiled weakly but nodded, trusting Noey's words and the doctors.

The family gathered in the waiting room once more, their shared anxiety filling the space. Nam cradled baby Mon, who was sleeping peacefully in her arms, while Heng sat beside her, offering quiet reassurance. Freen had taken charge of Sam and Finley, keeping them entertained with stories and snacks, while Becky paced nervously.

"Kade and Kirk should be here soon," Becky murmured, glancing at the clock.

Just as she said that, the doors swung open, and Kade rushed in, with Kirk following close behind. "Are they okay? Did it start yet?" Kade asked breathlessly.

"They just took Irin in," Becky replied, hugging her. "Noey's with her."

Hours later, the doctor finally emerged, her smile instantly relieving everyone's tension. "Congratulations," she said warmly. "Irin and Noey have a healthy baby boy. Both mom and baby are doing well."

Cheers erupted, and Becky hugged Freen tightly. The twins jumped up and down, excited to meet their new cousin.

When they were allowed into the room, Noey was sitting beside Irin, who held their tiny son in her arms. Tears streamed down Noey's face as she whispered, "He's perfect, Irin."

The couple looked up as their family entered, their joy radiating throughout the room.

"What's his name?" Nam asked softly, rocking baby Mon.

Irin smiled. "His name is Ethan."

Freen leaned down, grinning at the baby. "Welcome to the family, Ethan. You're going to be spoiled by all of us."

Becky crouched down beside Irin, gently touching the baby's hand. "He's so beautiful, Irin. Congratulations to both of you."

The room was filled with love and laughter as everyone took turns holding little Ethan. It was another perfect moment for their growing family.

A few weeks after Ethan's arrival, the group gathered at a private venue to celebrate something special—Kade's engagement.

Kirk had planned the perfect proposal. During a photo shoot for his modeling company, he had surprised Kade with a heart-shaped ring box hidden among the props. The moment she realized what was happening, her usually composed demeanor had crumbled into tears.

Now, as they celebrated with their loved ones, Kade stood glowing in Kirk's arms. "I never thought I'd find someone who supports me the way you do," she said softly, looking up at him.

"And I never thought I'd meet someone who inspires me every day," Kirk replied, kissing her forehead.

As the sun set, everyone gathered on the lawn for a family photo. Freen stood in the middle, holding Finley on one hip and Sam on the other. Becky leaned against him, her arm around his waist. Nam and Heng sat beside them with Mon, while Irin and Noey beamed with pride as they cradled Ethan. Kade and Kirk stood behind the group, their love evident in their intertwined hands.

"Alright, everyone, smile!" Kade called out, setting the camera timer before dashing into the frame.

The click of the camera captured the moment perfectly—a family bound not just by blood, but by love, trust, and shared dreams.

That evening, as the children played on the grass and the adults shared stories around the table, Freen leaned over to Becky. "This is everything I ever wanted, Princess," he said softly. "Our family, our friends—it's all perfect."

Becky smiled, resting her head on his shoulder. "It really is, Bunny. And it's only going to get better."

As the stars lit up the night sky, the group laughed, loved, and dreamed together, ready to embrace whatever the future held.

The End.
