A familiar voice stunned all who were present there. They turned their heads as one to look at the person who spoke those words and were delightfully surprised to find their lovable Father and a blushing Chelsey standing behind them.
When the doctor confirmed her pregnancy, Chelsy and Ram ecstatically rushed to the resort where their entire family was vacationing. Ram and Chelsy came down to the beach after confirming with the Doctor if Chelsy was fit to travel, in order to join their family and celebrate this happy occasion with everyone.
When Ram and Chelsy saw everyone sitting in the dining hall and drinking, they walked in quietly to surprise them. But they both stopped in their tracks when they heard Miley mention Chelsy's pregnancy in their conversation.
They were rooted to their spots when they overheard the entire conversation and the happiness and joy everyone exuded with each word they spoke. All the love and support towards Chelsy teared her eyes up.
"Ram, I knew Miley and Liam would be happy for us, but I had never expected that they would so readily accept our baby who would be as young as their own babies!
You have indeed raised wonderful children, Ram, and I am sure the future of our child is secure and safe in the hands of his elder brother and sister." Chelsy spoke softly and looked at Ram with teary eyes.
Ram nodded and wiped away her tears as he said, "Chelsy, I know my children. Our child will also be brought up with the same values and I am sure that not only his elder brother and sister but also his mother would leave no stone unturned so the right education is imparted to him."
"And if we have a girl, she would face problems when she tries to get a boyfriend, as her father, brother and even brother in law would make life difficult for any boy who tries to trap her!" Ram added with a grin, making Chelsy chuckle and shake her head.
"Let's go and greet them all and be a part of this celebration before they start planning a 'surprise' party for us." Chelsy said. Ram nodded his head and signalled the waiter to go ahead and serve the bottles of champagne he had ordered for the family celebration.
Before he moved ahead, he looked at Chelsy and said, "You are not allowed to take even a sip of that drink and all you are allowed to drink is fresh fruit juice only!"
Chelsy knew Ram would be attentive to what she would be eating over the coming months but she hadn't known that his concern was going to be so hard on her till she delivered the baby.
Didn't her husband know that she herself would take extra care because she treasured her pregnancy dearly so she would behave very well!
As soon as Ram sent over the wine and the four people sitting on the table had seen it, both Ram and Chelsey walked towards them with smiles on their faces. The look of surprise on their faces was what Ram had wanted to see.
"Surprise!! We are here to celebrate with the four of you." Ram said as he hugged Liam and Jorge.
"Correction... the six of you!" Ram corrected as he walked around and kissed the little darlings of his family who were making happy sounds having recognized him and wanting to be carried by him.
Their grandfather was one who never left any chance to spoil them and loved to carry them around in his arms. They loved him and he was their favorite after their own fathers.
Ram took them both out of their strollers and sat with one granddaughter on each lap for some time to pacify them and only after he had put them back could he sit down peacefully to have a drink with his boys.
"Congratulations Dad and Mom Chelsy!! We are so happy for you. This is indeed a big but pleasant surprise, Dad. We didn't think you would come over to celebrate with us immediately." Miley said with a big smile on her face.
"Congratulations Dad and Mom Chelsy!!" Lana, Liam, and George toasted with their glasses and congratulated them.
"Yes, you really surprised us all by coming here without telling us," Liam said.
"We were rather shocked to see you standing there…" Jorge laughed.
"Had we known earlier we could have made reservations for your stay beforehand Dad." Lana said
"That's alright, Lana dear, I booked a suite before I left the City. So you all don't need to worry about it at all. In fact, all our luggage has already been sent to the suite that I had booked." Ram said feeling happy to see how much his children cared for them.
Liam filled everyone's glasses and stood up and raised a toast to them.
"For my most loving and caring Dad and for our Mom Chelsy who revived our Dad's lost heart. For your happiness and for the baby who would be the apple of all our eyes…"
Everyone held their glasses up and said together… "Cheers..."
"Cheers for Dad and Mom Chelsy!" they shouted in unison.
"Thank you, Liam and thanks to all of you, for believing in me and giving me a chance to be a part of your lovely family, for giving me so much love and trust, for making me a part of your family not just in name but with all your heart.
There aren't many children in this world who love their father as much as I know you all love him. You all are my family too. I am sure, I must have done some good deeds that I was able to find you all and become a part of your lovely family. Your love and affection mean a lot to me. Thank you all for loving me so much."
Chelsy said as she sobbed emotionally and tears flowed down her eyes. She was overwhelmed by their constant love and support towards her.
