Chelsy wasn't sure if it was because of her pregnancy hormones or the love shown by Ram's family but she was unable to stop her tears and sobbed uncontrollably. Ram hugged her by her waist and rubbed on her back gently trying to comfort her but all that only contributed to her crying more.
Lana and Miley also became emotional seeing her cry so both of them got up from their seats and hugged her from two sides trying to console her and make her smile.
Liam who was watching from the side remarked, "Mom Chelsy, if you insist on crying so much throughout your pregnancy, I am afraid we would have to deal with a real cry baby later on. So please control yourself so that the baby does not turn out to be a cry baby!"
Ram: '…..!' What?
Chelsy suddenly stopped crying and looked at Liam with widened eyes as if asking him if what he said was true before looking at Ram for affirmation.
Jorge guffawed when Liam said this and saw Ram's reaction. He couldn't believe Chelsy would be so naive to fall prey to Liam's jokes.
He stopped laughing and said, "Mom Chelsy, if you are still not accustomed to Liam's jokes till now, then you really need to learn a lot about this cunning fox before you hand over your innocent child to him for nurturing."
"What did I say wrong? Isn't it said that the mood of the mother affects the mood of the child as well?" Liam pressed on his speculation.
Lana came to him and hit on his shoulder as if telling him to keep quiet and said, "A pregnant woman's mood swings are not in her hands. She can't control her emotions most of the time. And the child is affected only if the mother is not happy and remains in a bad mood throughout her pregnancy."
"Exactly! Also Mom Chelsy is emotional and is crying so much only for today. We all are definitely going to keep her too happy to cry after today." Miley chimed in.
Ram looked at Chelsy and smiled as she had stopped crying and was looking at each one of them like a confused puppy. His eyes locked with Liam's and they smiled at each other, nodding their heads in a tacit understanding.
Soon Chelsy's mood was lifted up and everyone started filling her plate with food. She loved the smell of the food that was served so she ate heartily.
"Ram, please get me something to drink. I haven't had anything to drink since we came."
Just as she said this Ram signalled the waiter and before he could say anything both Lana and Miley spoke at the same time, "Get one glass of fresh fruit juice please."
They then looked at each other and laughed along with Chelsey and Ram.
Everyone ate heartily and finished the dinner with a happy note and joyful hearts. Ram was feeling very excited and wanted to spend some more time drinking with the boys to share his happiness and also have some heart to heart talks with them.
"Liam and Jorge, let's come back and have some drinks on the beach together after settling the ladies and kids in their room." Ram said, stopping the both of them.
They both looked at each other, smiled and nodded in agreement before they picked their daughters who were already tired of being restricted and were starting to throw tantrums as they still wanted to play freely.
"Let's go to grandpa's suite and play there sweetie. It seems that your mom and aunt also want to spend some time with Grandma Chelsy. So till we come back, play there with your sister." Liam coaxed Belle
Miley and Lana also smiled and nodded in agreement. "Yes, there is a lot for us to talk and share with her. It's all girl talk. So it's good that you guys are all going to have a drink while we enjoy our time here."
Isabelle and Georgina were both then taken to Ram's suite and Lana and Miley stayed there to spend some time with Chelsy. The guys left both the adorable cutie pies on the bed under scrutiny of the three women and left.
The three handsome men were a sight to behold when they walked together. They all passed by a group of youngsters who were in the resort for a vacation after their exams and the young girls gasped seeing the three of them walking together towards the empty beach table.
Ram asked the waiter to bring a bottle of whiskey for them along with some ice and soda. Ram poured whiskey into three glasses and added some ice and soda before giving it to both of them. They all lifted their glass and clinked before drinking. Ram took a sip and squinted his eyes as he sat in a daze thinking about something, not speaking to his sons.
"Dad, what is it that you wanted to say? Please feel free to talk." Liam said gently.
Ram sighed and said, "Liam, a few years ago I had never even dreamt of spending my life with someone again. Now when I look back, I realise how much my children love me and care about me to think about getting me married so I can have someone to spend the rest of my life with.
I am very happy today. The feeling of ecstasy I felt when I came to know you were going to be born was almost the same as I felt when I learned that Chelsy was pregnant. I am truly happy from the bottom of my heart.
And I am even more happy today because I came to know that my children are glad to see me happy and content.
Even after I married Chelsy I still used to wonder if what I did was right or wrong, and today when I came to know about her pregnancy I was ecstatic but I still wanted to ask you guys one thing.
I have always wanted to ask you if you felt any remorse or unfairness when I started my new family with Chelsy.
But when we reached here, we heard your conversation and felt the true happiness you all showed me and Chelsy. I could not be more proud of my upbringing and of the fact that you all have hearts of gold.
I just want to drink a few glasses with you both and cheer for the love and bond we all have and to also pray that it remains the same forever."
Liam and Jorge smiled widely and lifted their glasses high up in the air and cheered loudly,
"Cheers dad!
Cheers to our love!!
Cheers to our family!!"
They all continued chatting about random things and let the girls enjoy their time together!
