Chapter 404: EPILOGUE II
They all were having a grand dinner at Marissa Sinclair’s newly opened restaurant. The dinner was from Sophie on her first wedding anniversary.
Ariel, Abigail, and Alex were having dinner on a separate table while Jackson was trying his best to slip down Sophie’s lap and crawl on the restaurant floor. Joseph had to give him a lollipop so that he could stay in the baby’s chair.
Marissa couldn’t stop her laughter because Sophie had been quite strict about Jackie’s sugar and salt intake.
"See! As a doctor I can’t even put restrictions on this little devil!" she informed Marissa and rolled her eyes. But Marissa could sense the love behind that complaint.
She turned to look at her three-month-old babies who were lying on the playmat nearby. Marissa and Rafael had to quit carrycot when the babies learned to flip.
Once Caleb fell on the floor with his carrycot at the top. Since then, carry-cots had been donated to the orphanage.
"So, are you planning to bring Jackie’s sibling," Marissa asked Sophie once they went to the restroom.
Sophie pressed the bridge of her nose, "Oh, my. One is enough. I don’t know how you manage them," she turned away muttering to herself.
Marissa smiled at that, "Because I had the help of an amazing friend!" She went to Sophie and hugged her, taking her by surprise, "This friend helped me in ways, I could never imagine. Never knew that my first gynecologist appointment would turn into an amazing friendship."
"Wrong!" Sophie slapped her back, "We already met at a café before you came to me. And if this is an invitation that you’ll help me with kids then I might think of bringing another baby," Sophie finished with a shrug.
Marissa loved babies. She was willing to take care of ten at a time. She still remembered how Flint stayed awake just to take care of Ariel when Ariel and Abigail fell sick together.
