Chapter 17 - Meeting My Biological Mother

~Susan's Mansion~

Two vehicles arrived in Susan's mansion, she was already at the entrance welcoming all the visitors wearing a wide smile on her face.

Today is a beautiful and special day, the sun is shining brightly on the heaven's above, everything looks wonderful.

When the visitors were already out of their vehicles...

Being the gracious host that she is, she welcomes everyone with a dazzling smile on her lips. "Welcome everyone! Let's get inside!"

The visitors followed Susan inside. The spacious living room was huge enough to accommodate Hector's entourage.

Susan and Hector along with John proceed to the study room to have a private conversation. While Catherine, the babies, Ramon, George, and Anna remained in the living room.

Inside the study room.

Susan, Hector, and John were plunged into silence immediately.

Hector coughed a little trying to break the awkwardness between the three of them. "Well, now is the time to formally introduce you guys to each other. Susan, meet your son, John and John meet your biological mother...Susan..."

Susan's mouth widens into a smile. "I'm so happy that I finally meet you, my son, you have no idea how I've been longing for this day to come, now it's finally happening! Oh God, I can't contain my happiness," tears began to swell in her eyes.

John looked at Susan with full acknowledgment that she was indeed her biological mother, he can feel the string and strong emotion tugging in his heart pulling him towards his mother.

He doesn't want to prolong the inevitable. He looked at his mother straight in the eyes. "Today, I fully acknowledge you as my biological mother, thank you for bringing me in this world, Mother," John said.

Susan was deeply touched by her son's declaration and full acceptance of her as his mother, she burst out crying in front of the two men. She was emotionally wrecked inside but it doesn't matter, these two guys have a full understanding of her situation.

John shortens the distance between him and her mother, then he embraces her. "Shh, don't cry mother, you already found me, from now on we'll get in touch, okay?" he rubbed her back.

"Thank you so much, son, for welcoming me easily and you didn't give me a hard time, this means so much to me," Susan said, feeling grateful for her son's understanding.

"Mother, there's only one thing I want you to understand, we can't flaunt our relationship as mother and son publicly since my mother Clara doesn't know anything about you and my father... if she knew about your past relationship guys she will surely feel devastated. I just want to protect my mother Clara's heart, I hope you understand, Mother," John said.

Susan nodded her head. "Of course son, I understand. I will be grateful for whatever little time you are willing to spend with me, it's enough for me. I have no desire to hurt your mother, I know where I stand. What is important for me is that you finally acknowledge me as your biological mother, that's enough for me."

John smiled and wiped his mother's tears from her face. "No more crying please, I want to introduce you to my wife Catherine and your grandchildren," he said.

Hector get out of the room and fetch Catherine and the babies in the living room to bring them into the study room.

A moment later...

Catherine and Susan finally met each other.

John and Hector were holding baby James and baby Angel in their arms.

Susan smiled graciously at the younger woman. "My pretty daughter-in-law, Catherine! I'm glad to meet you. Thank you so much for loving my son," Susan said, appreciating the beauty of the younger woman standing in front of her.

Catherine smiled warmly at her mother in law. "I'm glad to meet you too, Mother!" she said.

The two women hugged each other.

Catherine held Susan's hands. "Come, meet your grandchildren," she said.

"Here's baby James," Hector said placing the chubby toddler in Susan's arms.

Susan looked adoringly at baby James and squealed in delight. "Wow, baby James looks exactly like his father, how are you baby James?...granny is here...love you...love you much! I will buy you lots of toys when you grow older. You are so heavy...so chubby! and so cute!" she said and nuzzled the baby's cheeks. "Baby James...I will come back to you later, okay, I still need to meet your sister," she said. She placed baby James into Catherine's arms and went to John to have a look at baby Angel.

Susan stared at the sleeping baby in John's arms. "Wow, she's simply beautiful! Looking like an angel!" she gushes.

John placed his sleeping daughter into her grandmother's waiting arm. "Baby Angel sleeps a lot and she's a good girl, she doesn't give her mother a hard time compared to that little chubby boy over there," he grinned.

John and Catherine's eyes met, he winked at his wife lovingly.

Susan stared affectionately at baby Angel lying comfortably in her arms. "Baby Angel, you sleep a lot, eh? Why don't you wake up and open your eyes for a few minutes and let granny see your eyes," she said smiling.

But the baby was serious about getting her sleep and continues to sleep soundly. Susan smiled. "Hmm, she doesn't want to wake up and meet her granny yet, maybe later?" she kissed baby Angel's cheeks and placed her back into John's arms.

Susan looked at the faces of her extended family, finally, the meet and greet was over, so far so good, but where is Mike?

"Guys, let's wait a bit for Mike to arrive, then we will have lunch later. Catherine, why don't you bring the babies in the next room, I already prepared a room for you guys, you can sleep here anytime you want, you are all welcome in my house," she said.

They exited the study room and went to the next room, the room was spacious and contains two queen size beds with two cribs for the baby. Susan made sure the room is wide enough and comfortable for the whole family just in case they will sleepover for family bonding.

John and Catherine put down the babies side by side in the bed, they looked at their little bundle of joy with great pride and love shining in their eyes.

Susan watched the couple happily, they looked so in love with each other and their union rewarded them with two beautiful healthy babies.

"I will go out and check on Mike, just feel at home...okay?" Susan said to the two a.d.u.l.ts.

John and Catherine nodded their heads.

The couple joined the children in the bed. While Hector went downstairs to join the rest of the people in the living room.
