"Hmm?" Holding Molly in his arms he added, "we are not joking, you are definitely going to be a mother again." Brain confidently assured. Mark will be the elder brother and will have a younger sibling, maybe a brother or sister."

Nine months later

The sound of an extremely high-pitched agonizing screams broke the short silence. It rapidly filled the atmosphere in the delivery room. In a maternity section of the private hospital of Dragon Empire Group. Drenched in perspiration, Molly kept crying out. While grasping Brian's hand with her own hands tightly. She looked as though she was in extreme pain, unable to deliver the baby by any amount of pushing.

Brian's face showed the anxious concern, looking tired and gloomy. It resembled the dull, darkened under surface of a pan. He felt great pity and concern for his wife. She was not just in pain, but had already been at it for an extended time. She looked as though she has just run an exhausting marathon. He feared the extent of her endurance, wishing he could take the pain for her. Then suddenly, not being able to withstand watching her bear any more agony, finally he decided, "Do a Cesarean delivery!"

Hearing Brian's decision, the doctors quickly got to work preparing for the procedure. They were secretly relieved. This had been a difficult birth and they too had concerns.

Since Molly wanted a surprise, she had only inquired about whether her baby had been healthy and safe within her womb. Her check-ups and prenatal groups had been a regular occurrence during her gestation period. She had been neither tempted in having her baby's gender revealed nor allowed the doctor to reveal it to her.

Cesarean delivery had become a common way of delivery. But Molly had chosen a natural labor. As she didn't expect complications and loved the idea, she felt confident in the process. With so many things that were artificial, Molly wanted the most natural way in bring her baby into the world. As soon as Molly had made her choice clear, the doctors had felt they were in a pickle. Brian and Molly had no idea about the number of fetus. The doctors however knew. There were twins in her womb. It could be difficult and challenging and even more painful for her to give birth to the babies naturally. Now that Brian had made the decision of Cesarean delivery, the doctors could not be happier. Molly and her babies' risk had been diminished considerably.

In the waiting room, both Shirley and Richie had been waiting patiently. Richie looked calm as always, while Shirley couldn't calm down at all. She kept pacing back and forth anxiously. Richie could do nothing but watch her and shake his head helplessly, letting her walk it out.

"Ding!"

The door of the operation room pushed open. Hearing the sound, Shirley immediately hurried towards it.

Looking at Richie and Shirley, the doctor said with a smile, "Congratulations! They are twins, a boy and a girl!"

"How about the puerpera?" Shirley asked hurriedly, as she also cared about the health of Molly. Although she was very happy and surprised with such good news. What joy filled her heart to hear about the birth of her new grandson and granddaughter.

"Both the mother and babies are safe and healthy," the doctor answered confidently.

One year later

At a beautiful setting at the main house of the Long Family Mansion in Dragon Island

On the ground a large piece of red lint fabric lay and two plump rosy babies sat upon it. In front of them were various types of objects placed in different areas on the fabric. A pen, a book, a calculator, an ornament in the shape of the shield of Dragon Island, a toy and the list went on. There was even an unloaded pistol. This traditional ceremony played out as a grabbing test. The toddlers would grab at an object and it was believed that the object a baby first chose on their first birthday would indicate their future career or path.

"Charlie, Charlie, look at me. Here..."

"Evelyn, here, here..."
