Amelia heaved a sigh of relief and thanked the God. But what she didn't notice the confused gaze of her friends who were staring behind her in puzzlement.
"Bro… What are you doing here?" Myra asked as she noticed Alonzo standing right behind Amelia with a worried expression.
Amelia's head jolted up when she heard Myra calling Alonzo as bro. She looked at him in bafflement while Alonzo too was shocked to see his sister and others waiting there.
"I came here with Amy as she got the news of her sister-in-law going to have her baby soon. So I accompanied her here. But what are you doing here?" Alonzo questions back with furrowed eyebrows.
"Wait a minute!! How do you know my daughter? Are you her school friend? But I never have seen you before." Mrs. Jones said looking at Alonzo.
Amelia shook his head and said, "No Mom. He's not my school friend. I met him at Fusion few weeks ago. But why Myra is calling her brother?"
"I'm calling him bro because he is my brother. A real one. But why are you both together here?" Myra asked eyeing both Alonzo and Amelia.
Before the question and answers round could go any further, Reuben stopped them by saying, "Guys, we can talk about this matter later. Now please keep quite as it's a hospital."
All of them shut their mouths while Reuben and Veronica shared a knowing look with each other.

Few minutes later...
Their wait became finally over when they heard the cry of a baby and a happy smile crept on everyone's lips automatically just by imaging about the little one's arrival.
Soon, Andrew came out of the delivery room with a bright smile. His eyes were filled with happy tears while his face had a different kind of glow which could not be described by words.
Mrs. Jones held his hand and asked expectantly, "How are Lisa and baby?"
Andrew sniffed a little and replied cheerfully, "Lisa and baby, both are fine. And it's a girl.."
Their faces lit up in a big smile and they exclaimed loudly together, "Congratulations.."
"Wow bro!! Your wish got fulfilled by God. You're now a proud father of a cute little princess." Reuben hugged him while Neil and Henry too joined them.
A happy atmosphere was spread through the whole corridor at the news of the little princess' arrival. All were happy and excited to see the new member now...
-----
An hour later…
Lisa had been shifted to a VIP room and the other elders had also arrived in the meantime to welcome the new life of joy.
Andrew was sitting on the bed while caressing Lisa's hair who was resting her head on his chest after a tired delivery of a healthy baby girl.
The girls were squealing like kids looking at the soft puddle of happiness who was sleeping now with her pink lips pouted towards them.
She was looking truly like an angel..!!!!
"Oh my god! She's so small and cute." Diana exclaimed in pure aww.
"Yup… That she is. And look at her eyes and nose. It's so adorable." Willa said, touching her nose.
"I know right. Though her features are more like Lisa but her face shape is completely like our brother Andrew." Veronica pointed it out.
"I agree with that." Lucinda said.
Amelia played with her little fingers and then asked, "Bro and sis-in-law, have you both decided any name yet?"
Both Andrew and Lisa looked at each other and then proudly announced after nodding at them, "Olivia Jones.."
"Woah!! That's a really good name." Henry said.
"Yup… Olivia name is as cute as our princess. She'll be the apple of our eyes. We won't let any harm approach to her. All the evils would have to face us before reaching her...
We'll protect her from every boys over here who would try to come near her. She'll be only our little angel.." Reuben said with a smile playing on his lips as he adored the cute baby who was now placed in Mrs. Smith's arms.
"For the god's sake, Mr. Smith. She has just born few minutes ago. And you guys are already started doing her future planning to keep the boys away from her..
What rubbish! At least let her get back to her home first. And stop being so much possessive over her." Veronica spat at him angrily.
Reuben just made a cute pout while Henry supported him, "Reuben is absolutely right. No boys are allowed near her."
"Do you want me to beat you up?" Lucinda threatened him with her deadly eyes.
"Why are you threatening him? Reuben and Henry are correct. We won't allow any boys around her. We can't trust anyone nowadays, specially if they are boys." Neil said to his sister and earned a slap on his shoulder from Willa.
Andrew laughed at them and added, "Thank God that we've decided to come back here in city S before the baby's birth...
Now I have my brothers to protect my princess from those bad boys' traps. She'd be guarded by all of us. So I don't have to worry much."
Listening to it, Lisa glared at her husband and scolded, "Don't even think about bounding her with your stupid reasons of not letting her befriend with the opposite genders."
"Exactly.. And if you guys want to be so much overprotective about her, then why are you guys marrying us?
Aren't we our father's daughters too? Don't they love us like you guys love our Olivia? Or, they are not protective about us? Tell me.." Veronica asked angrily, threw daggers at him through her eyes.
"Yes.. Now give us the answers of this question. Do you think our fathers love us any less than you guys…huh??" Lucinda too joined Veronica in rebuking at them.
The men visually gulped seeing their respective partners asking them about the most unexpected questions of their lives, making the elders specially the fathers laugh at them.
"Yes...yes.. I agree with our daughters. If you can't allow a newborn baby to have any guy friends then why should we allow our princesses to get married with you guys?" Mr. Lopez teased them equally.
