542: Kiera and Hannah Grace

Kiera and Hannah Grace

Three Months Later,

  Everyone moved forward eventually. Keira was focused on her work and being a mom to Calli. She tried to forget all of the pain by working nonstop and by giving time to her daughter. Everyone had their way to catch up with their grieving. As for Hannah Grace, she stayed more in the house, the one that Connor bought for them. She was busy taking care of Quinn as she home-schooled the girl and taught her about business. Quinn can read a few simple words at that young age. From time to time, Victor and Kal visit them. 

  Harvey and MJ were for good in the Paradis with their kids. Just a month ago, Harvey was crowned as King and MJ the Queen. The two were busy running the whole country. That's why Dione, Cole, and Kaiden were there for good. They are also planning for more babies. They found a surrogate that had a healthy mentality. Currently, the surrogate is having triplets. MJ's eggs were fertile enough to carry three babies in another woman's womb. They are happy and celebrating. 

  Currently, everything seems perfect and peaceful. Karmina visited them many times as Alex was there as a friend to help her out. 

"Where's my little Calli?" Karmina entered Keira's office as the baby girl grabbed the scarf tied to her crib so she was able to stand. Calli squealed in excitement as she bounced up and down. Mina picked her up and gave her a lot of kisses. "There you are, my angel." 

"Good thing that you are here," Keira stood. "I have a lot of schedules and so was Sandro." 

"I am taking Calli to Johanna. Okay?" Karmina said as the nanny packed up Calli's bag. 

"Sure. I will just work." Keira told her mother. "Bye, baby?" She waved at Calli who waved back at her. "I think Quinn will be happy to see her." 

"We are off to see the Aquarium that your dad built for the babies. We should have dinner in the Estate." 

  Keira stopped for a moment and she nodded her head. 

"Right, let's have dinner there." 

"There are a lot of fishes to be put in there," Karmina said. "Any suggestions you wanted?" 

  Keira thought and shook her head. 

"Darling, your brother will be here in a few weeks. You should take a break like everybody else." Karmina approached her and kissed her forehead. Keira kissed her baby girl. "Okay? Calli needs a break too." 

"Okay," She whispered as she watched her mother leave. 

  Keira got back to work after her mother left. She didn't realize that it was already lunch, not until her husband entered the office with take-outs. 

"Keira," Her ever so handsome husband called. She smiled and looked up at him. Let's go to the dining area." He cocked his head at the door. 

  She locked her computer as she followed him outside. He set up the table for them as he sat close to her.

"It's your favorite." He said. 

"Hmm," she nodded her head. Sandro looked at her as he noticed that she lost a lot of weight. She doesn't look healthy at all. 

"I am planning to have an off day tomorrow." He said as he opened the Cajun sauce. "Let's go to the beach tomorrow." 

"I~~I have a lot of things to do. Plus~~" 

"No. I am not asking you." He put the flesh of the lobster over her plate. "I am not asking you, Keira. I wanted a break. We should have a break. Plus, our baby girl will stay with her grandma and grandpa. We need this break. You've been distant for days~~for months." He mumbled. 

"I'm sorry." She mumbled. "I'm sorry for not being a good wife." 

"You are the best wife." He kissed her lips. "Let's eat and talk about it later." 

  Keira suddenly felt so hungry as she shoved her mouth with more food while tearing. Sandro was there to wipe her tears with the table napkin and feed her more. He's a supportive husband and although she's still grieving he never gets tired of her. Now she decided to keep moving for her husband and daughter. She knows well that Henry will be happy.

  Karmina watched as Callisa crawled to Quinn and looked up at her with big eyes. The baby girl was very much curious about Quinn's budgeting for her fish. She already had a blueprint that was made by Johanna for her very own room aquarium inside the house. It's adorable when they interact. 

"This goes~~puff fish!" Quinn told her as she made sure the bill didn't have any crease. 

"Ohh," Calli listened to whatever Quinn would say. 

"Mom," Johanna put the tea over the table. "So, what brought you here?" Johanna asked. Karmina looked at her round belly and reached it. 

"Baby is growing so fast." 

"Yup. Time flies fast." Johanna said. 

"So, what keeps Quinn from being bored?" 

"Puzzles, books, fishes. She always interrupts her dad from working on her customized aquarium every time she sees something great on the internet. I limit her from the internet as I buy more books for her. She's a fast learner and her mind needs to be stimulated more. Not to mention that she's hyperactive most of the time." 

"Which is normal," Karmina said. "Your daughter is a genius just like other babies. Social interaction is also one thing." 

"She's not good with other kids except her cousins." Johanna sneered while watching Quinn help Calli stand. Quinn takes Calli who was excited on the way to the kitchen. 

"Quinn, it's not safe there." Johanna followed her baby girl. She watched as the two went to the mini-fridge that she set up for Quinn as she took a Popsicle. She gave one to Calli who dropped her butt on the floor and took the Popsicle with two hands. "Oh, okay," Johanna mumbled. 

"We go fishing!" Quinn held Calli's hand and nearly dragged her. Johanna was flexible enough to pick up Calli before the little girl fell flat face on the floor. "Sowee, Calli." 

"Uh, let's go back to the living room." 

  She took the girls back as Karmina opened the Popsicle for Quinn. 

"Your sister was burning herself in her work," Karmina said as Johanna peeled off the cover of the Popsicle and gave it to Calli. The baby quickly bit on the Popsicle but she stopped and looked up at Johanna. 

"Well, I can't blame her." Johanna put a tissue over Calli's lap as the baby continued eating. "How's Gray?" She asked. 

"He's busy setting up the house for the kids," Karmina told. 

"That guy just gave me an hourglass which I don't know what to do with." 

"Oh, that's sweet." Karmina smiled. "It's not his fault." 

"I know." Johanna looked away feeling guilty. "I just get into my emotions." 

"He's a good friend, isn't he?" 

"He is." She looked at Calli and wiped the baby's mouth. 

"A beach would be perfect." She suggested. "Let's all take a break from everything. What do you think?" 

"Yeah, sure. I think Quinn would love the beach." 

  Karmina watched as Johanna took care of Calli and since Quinn was independent enough to eat her Popsicle.

"So, beach it is." Johanna looked at her round stomach. "Yup, baby wanted some beach and I think I need to be soaked in salt water." She sighed. "Yup~~I think I have to spend more time with my husband too. You can take care of Quinn." 

  Karmina laughed and squeezed Quinn in her arms. 

"No. Mimi." Quinn pouted as her Popsicles were ruined. 

"I'm sorry, darling. I am just excited." 

  Alex entered the room holding his phone. 

"Alright," Alex slid his phone into his pocket. "I will set up a honeymoon suite for the couple." 

"Which couple?" Johanna interrupted. 

"Sandro and Keira. So, they've been distant since Keira has been a workaholic. Don't worry, dear. You got a spa for yourself and your husband. We will take care of the kids." 

"Great. Do not give Quinn any money."  1

"Right," Alex chuckled. "Spa and honeymoon suite is ready and we will be staying there for three days." 

"Great," Johanna stood and stretched. "Watch over, Calli for me. I will check on my hubby." 

  Karmina smiled at Alex as the man sat on the carpet to take care of their baby girl. The Popsicle is already melting into her hands as Calli raised her voice and lifted it and gave it to Alex. 

"Ohh, it doesn't look good when it's melting." Alex put it over the tray as he wiped Calli's hand. 

"Mission accomplished?" Karmina asked. "Keira and Hannah need to look around and go on with their lives. I, myself, decided to move forward and still visit my husband. I love him so much but my kids come first." 

"He wanted you to be happy." Alex reached for her right hand and gently squeezed it. 

"Thank you for being there, always. Alex." She squeezed his hand back. 

  Calli crawled to Alex's lap as she grabbed his shirt so she was able to stand. Karmina let go of his hand as Alex held Calli's waist and kissed her forehead. 

"I love you, Calli." Alex hugged Calli.
