“Oh wow, Leo, your father-in-law seems like quite the character, huh?” a group of friends teased with playful mischief.
Leo chuckled and replied, “Alright, eat up. Once we’re done, I need you guys to help me out with something.”
Over in Willowtown, little Henry was feeling a bit left out. His mom was cuddling a younger baby, and Henry, feeling the sting of jealousy, started to cry, trying to get her attention.
Usually, his mom was all his, always holding him, so Henry was wailing with jealousy.
Mia gently shushed him, “Quiet down, your brother’s sleeping.”
Andre, cradling his son, tried to explain, “Mia is still your mom, even when she holds other kids; she’s still your mom.”
Henry’s jealousy was just like his dad’s – a mix of possessiveness and stubbornness. Neither father nor son seemed to realize it.
Mrs. Calder gave birth to a son at 10:30. Mr. Calder, at 45, felt his life was now complete, having both a son and a daughter.
The Calder family named the newborn James, inspired by the saying, “A book holds treasures untold.”
With her baby brother’s arrival, Anya had another little one to adore. Her phone showed three missed calls, all from her boyfriend.
Leo stepped out of the neighborhood, glancing at his phone. “A one-year-old didn’t get enough attention, and now a newborn is stealing the spotlight. Everyone else’s kids are such a joy; wonder if you’ll feel overwhelmed when it’s your turn.”
“Leo, if we pull this off for you, you better not just treat us to buns and porridge,” a friend called out as they parted ways.
Leo rolled down his car window, shouting back, “Once it’s done, dinner’s on me at Chunky’s Majestic Dining Enclave.”
