Next day, Aiden and Sarah arrived at White family villa just in time for lunch.
Oscar and Elanor enjoyed extra company of both of their sons and their fiancées.
Elanor was very excited that later Sophia will join. She heard a lot about her, and the fact that Sophia is pregnant made it more special.
Oscar wanted to talk to Felix and to see if he can help out with strengthening security for their property. They did some improvements from the incident with Timothy Cox, but Oscar was still not able to relax. Image of Timothy Cox holding a gun to Jeff's head was haunting him. The only thing giving him peace was knowing that Jeff is fine and that he is strengthening the security so that such a thing never happens again.
"I am sorry that this training thing is getting over… that means that my kids will not visit as often.", Elanor was referring to all four of them.
Jeff and Aiden ignored Elanor's comment. It was obvious that she was trying to force them to say something like: 'Don't worry, we will make sure to visit…' But they are not falling for it. If they say something like that, then she will use it against them and call daily to remind them to keep their word.
Sarah and JoAnna awkwardly smiled and focused on their plates.
Sophia and Felix arrived later that afternoon. Elanor and Oscar gave them some time to freshen up and rest, and then Elanor pulled Sophia on the side for a chat while Oscar monopolized Felix. JoAnna and Sarah told Elanor and Oscar that they can have them until dinner is over, and after dinner Sophia and Felix will join the younger generation.
After dinner our team of six headed to the back garden and they occupied three oversized lounging chairs around the firepit while chatting enthusiastically. Felix held Sophia, Aiden held Sarah, and JoAnna leaned into Jeff's embrace. As usually, guys let sisters lead the talk while they mostly listened.
Sophia was talking about their honeymoon. She didn't forget to mention how Felix valiantly saved them from the cave. Felix was very happy to hear Sophia's praises as well as comments from JoAnna and Sarah. Even Jeff and Aiden had to admire him.
Sarah and JoAnna agreed that Sophia's belly is a bit bigger than it used to be.
"Well, it's time to start showing!", JoAnna exclaimed. "You are now in your fourth month of pregnancy… How about your…" JoAnna gestured at chest.
Sophia nodded. "Growing…" She took a mental note to go bra shopping when they get back home.
"Eh, second trimester. Enjoy the benefits." JoAnna grinned.
Jeff was curious. "What benefits?"
JoAnna didn't see the need to filter her words and she ignored Sophia's embarrassment. "In second semester, breasts are growing, energy levels go up, as well as the libido..."
JoAnna laughed when she saw silly grin on Jeff's face. She knows that he wants them to have kids, and now he heard additional benefits that come with pregnancy. And seeing him glancing at her breasts, she could tell which part interests him the most.
The only reason Jeff stopped talking about babies is because JoAnna said that she wants to get married first. Ah, in two months she is sure that her husband will find plenty of cheeky ways to suggest that they have babies.
"I didn't say anything!", Aiden defended himself when Sarah caught him staring at her breasts.
They all laughed.
It seems that all men agree: there is no such thing as too big breasts.
Elanor and Oscar sat on the terrace in the back of the house and listened to them from the distance. They could not hear their words clearly, but the lively atmosphere and laughs reached them.
"It's nice to have kids at home.", Elanor sighed.
"Yes." Oscar had to agree with her.
"The Hill sisters are close. Because of them even our boys are laughing. It is clear that they are happy.", Elanor observed. The only thing she wanted was for her boys to be happy. Seeing them like this makes her heart full. She remembered that before JoAnna and Sarah came into their lives, Jeff and Aiden were mostly quiet, keeping to themselves. When they were home, they would join for a meal and after that each would go to their room. Eh, love makes big difference in life.
JoAnna spoke about Golden Ocean Resort, how they disrespected her first day and next day she marched in as an owner. She was very good in giving vivid descriptions and everyone enjoyed her story. JoAnna didn't forget to thank Sarah for her help in getting the resort. Sophia wanted to know the details how they got it, so Sarah said what she did while Jeff shortly explained how he used data that Sarah provided.
"We will have our wedding there. I hope you all plan to spend some time at the resort. The resort is beautiful, the spa is great, and food is amazing. We can go horse riding, and there is a golf course, a shooting range as well as a casino… and I will give you a sister-discount. I am the owner, and I can do that." JoAnna cheekily said and laughed.
"You better give us more than a discount. How about lifetime-free-everything considering that you got it for practically nothing?" Sophia could not believe how Jeff played this one. She can only admire him.
Sarah was happy that JoAnna got to show those people that they should not mess with Hill sisters. "I will definitely come. Our next destination is Los Angeles. We want to hire staff for our house. Construction is done, some landscaping work is still ongoing and that is the last part. We want to have staff in place before kids move in there."
"That is for the house you are building, right?", JoAnna wanted to clarify.
"Yes" Sarah confirmed.
"What about your other house?" JoAnna grinned, but Sarah missed that there is a message hidden in there.
"Which other house? The cliffside one? We still didn't hear back about it…" Sarah finished her thoughts while glancing at Aiden.
JoAnna looked at Jeff. "You didn't tell them?"
Sarah's eyes didn't leave Aiden while responding to JoAnna's remark. "Well, seeing how Aiden is grinning, it seems that only I don't know what this is all about."
"I was just about to bring it up.", Jeff responded to JoAnna like he didn't hear Sarah at all. He took his phone and typed something on it.
Sarah got a notification and she checked it.
After few seconds of silence, Sarah spoke: "You got us the house?"
Sarah could not believe what she read. It was an electronic form of the document which states that the cliffside house is on Aiden's and her's name!
"Don't I need to sign these?" Sarah frowned when she saw her signature on the document.
"I made stamp signatures for both of us.", Aiden informed her.
"You are OK with Jeff buying us a house?", Sarah asked Aiden. She also wanted to ask how he can make stamp of her signature without her knowledge, but that will be for later. Right now, the house is more important topic.
Jeff spoke before Aiden: "I was thinking for a while how to repay you everything you did. And even with this, I feel it's not enough. Without your help, I would probably still be stuck with Isabella or would cause many people to hate me because I backed out of it without providing solutions. Also, both of you did so much for the company, and for us personally… but I know that just throwing money your way would not be enough. This is my way of saying thank you."
