Be Careful What You Wish For

Chapter 5

It was an exciting month at Jurassic World: the park was celebrating its first anniversary and Claire and Owen would welcome their twins anytime in the next week. The due date had been predicted for that coming Saturday morning, which was a relief for the Operations Manager, since that way she wouldn't miss the anniversary celebration the day before.

Karen had promised Claire she'd come visit and be with her that last week until giving birth, so that previous weekend she had taken a flight to Costa Rica.

Once the ferry arrived at the island, she was welcomed by Owen who she had heard a lot of but never had properly met.

The man recognized the elder Dearing sister from the event a year prior, after all the blonde was the reason Owen had to wait half the gala to approach the now mother of his children.

"Karen?" He smiled meeting her by the landing, the woman also recognizing him. It was hard to forget how handsome he was.

She nodded, "You must be Owen." She smiled and offered a handshake, "The guy my sister couldn't wait to have babies with."

"What?" He chuckled, helping her with her bags and settling them in Claire's car.

"She didn't tell you?" Karen was surprised: for what Claire had told her, the couple told each other everything and this was too much of a coincidence to leave out.

Owen shook his head and opened the passenger's door for Karen to get in.

"The moment we saw you, she proclaimed that she wanted to have your babies." Karen laughed, "Not baby... babies." She couldn't believe it had been so literal.

They both laughed and headed to the park so Owen could take her to the resort and let her settle in.

"So where's the mommy to be?" Karen wondered. She figured her sister was busy with the upcoming anniversary and all.

"I've been begging her for seven weeks to stop working." Owen pulled his hands up in the air, "Maybe she'll listen to you and take this last week off?" He casually asked for her help.

"I don't think there's such a powerful entity in this world to prevent her from working." Karen had given up on that a long time ago.

"Word." Owen agreed.

Once they were in her suite, he set her luggage as she suggested by the door and made sure she had everything she needed. At a first face to face impression, Karen had really liked him. He was very easy to get along with and he was very attentive, too.

Owen looked around and rubbed the back of his neck, and after making sure she was all set, he left Karen to get settled.

The blonde couldn't wait to see her sister with that round cute baby belly she'd already been showed in photos, or to feel her niece and nephew kicking. So after freshing up, Karen texted her sister and agreed to meet her at the HUB in the Innovation Center for just five minutes so they could say hi. She promised she'd let her go back to work and not bother her until dinner.

Many of the guests, who were walking around on their way to the Hammond Lab tour or just keeping an eye on their kids while they played with Mr DNA or at the skeleton digging, turned toward the pair of sisters after hearing Karen scream and run towards Claire.

"Oh my god, look at you!" She took both her hands and admired that gorgeous nine month belly.

Claire blushed and hugged her sister gently. "How was your flight? Was Owen well behaved?" She curved an eyebrow.

"Is it just me or did he get more handsome?" Karen teased her with a light nudge, her hands quick to caress that oversized belly.

"He gets sexier every day." Claire chuckled with a reassuring nod, both sisters squealing.
