Violet was huffing as sweat dripped down to her face. She breathed in and out as she walked out of the room. She already felt those contractions and Viper turned his head.
"Ready the car," Violet said.
Viper quickly rushed into her room and took the baby bag as he rushed outside while he was tapping his smartwatch to tell Leon and Bull that he needed help. He drove the car around and then he put a thick robe on Violet while she's walking toward the nearby door.
"Breath in, breath out." He said while calming her.
"I'm breathing." She smacked his arm hard. He was shocked that she hurt him. He took her to the backseat and then she groaned slowly in pain because of the contractions. "It was said to be in a week." She said, "Why not?" She asked her stomach.
Viper drove fast as she put the seatbelt on. There were pillows on her sides just in case. He was a fast driver and he even put a siren on top and beeped hard. He focused on driving while Violet was groaning in pain. He had to use the tollway just to get to the hospital and she was already screaming in pain. When he came out, Leon and Bull were already outside the hospital in the wheelchair.
Bull carried Violet carefully while Leon took the bag. They entered the hospital and since Leon already called her OB and the delivery was ready for her. She got it in a special room and then, they waited outside except for Viper who was with Violet and nearly broke his arm. They heard a baby crying so loud and when they peeked, Bull and Leon's eyes dilated seeing a healthy baby. The nurse quickly rinsed the baby with lukewarm water and then wrapped it up.
Leon and Bull watched the nurses carefully and then, Violet collapsed but she tried hard to open her eyes. She mumbled about her baby and then the nurse gave the baby to Viper who was amazed and at the same time didn't know how to hold a baby. He was careful like he can't even move so he won't drop the baby.
The doctor finished up and then they stepped away from the door and waited. The female doctor smiled at them.
"He's a very handsome and healthy boy." The Doctor said. "One of you could sign up for the papers."
"What's the name?" Bull asked Leon who shrugged.
"I'll prepare the papers." Leon looked at Violet. She met his eyes and she smiled as she mouthed a name. "Kileona." He grumbled. "That's his name." He nodded his head to Violet who gently closed her eyes.
Leon went to the registration as he wrote the baby boy's name. Kileona Chad. Mother, Violet Even Green. Father, Victor Green. He already had their new identity in his hands and there were a lot of people who have that name. He then finally went to the private room where Violet was now feeding baby Kileona. They gave her a special space, a curtain to cover the hospital bed so she would have privacy to feed the baby.
"By the way, I told Karmina that you gave birth now," Leon said.
"You did?" Violet was a little surprised.
"She will be here soon."
Violet was silent but she looked at her handsome baby boy.
"How about Jo?"
"Yes, they will be here soon," Leon said like a promise. "Do you want me to buy anything to eat?"
"I think I need that. This little guy looked so hungry."
"Vi, can I take a photo?" Viper said excitedly as Bull and Leon glared at him.
"Sure, I need a compilation to show it to his daddy."

After Keira and Johanna heard that Violet gave birth, Keira quickly finished her work since she's so much more excited than the real Aunt. They left the office earlier while Johanna didn't show much interest.
"There are a lot of babies coming out. I think I also need to plan for mine."
"Hmm," Johanna only hummed to show her interest.
It takes an hour when they reach the hospital. The first thing that they saw was Karmina holding the baby boy. Johanna approached Violet who was busy eating the chicken soup that Karmina prepared.
"So, does it hurt?" She asked without caring that Violet was eating.
"Hurts like bitch." Violet said. "But bearable."
"Hmm," she glared at Connor who scratched his head. It was partially his fault that Johanna got pregnant. But anyway, all is well and hey like that Johanna is pregnant.
"Go and look at Kileona. He looked so much like his father after I carried him for nine months in my tummy."
Johanna chuckled and approached Karmina. Her heart instantly melted when she met those familiar eyes. She stared at the baby for a while trying to remember her brother. Then, she remembered his mature face.
"Do you want to hold him?" Karmina asked.
"No." Johanna shook her head. The baby seemed to pout and started crying. "You little cunning monster," Johanna smirked. That's when Viper came with the hand sanitizer and she indeed sanitized her hand. That's when Karmina carefully gave the crying boy to her arms. Her heart felt like ice cream on the ground, slowly melting because of the heat of the sun. "He doesn't look like you, Vi," Johanna commented.
"I know," Violet laughed. "He looked like you and Victor."
Johanna hushed the baby who had stopped crying, which seemed to be an act. She also can't wait to have her baby come out. She must wait for a few more months and undergo labor.
"That's beautiful," Connor said after taking a photo of Jo and the baby.
"Are you going to show him to Victor?" Johanna suddenly asked.
"Not now. Or else, they would go after my baby."
"I understand."
Keira went to the speaker as she started playing the cello and piano instrumental that she composed recently as a lullaby.
Johanna sat down carefully on the sofa as Keira sat beside her and admired baby Kileona.
Baby, your smile melted an ice cream
Baby, if you were happy, I am happy
In this life, nothing matters
Until you start being curious…
Be happy, be joyful before you grow old and become an adult
Keira sang happily that made the baby smile so wide and blinked at Keira.
"He loves it." Connor was surprised as he continued filming.
Please, please don't grow too fast
Your toothless smile, fat cheeks are my comfort zone
Your sparkling eyes are my gem
That I will always keep in my chest
My love, my love… nothing matters for now…
Violet even stopped eating while listening to Keira sing for the baby boy. It's one of the perfect gifts for her baby. No one was as sincere as Keira in giving gifts
Holding you, cradling you
Singing you a lullaby until your eyes were tired
Baby, baby… please don't grow old
Because this world was cruel but I can give it to you
Innocence and evil were always there…
Baby, baby I love you
My heart belongs to you
Half of my soul was already connected to you
Please, please don't grow too fast
Your toothless smile, and sparkling eyes…
The baby fell asleep from Keira's lullaby. Johanna was a little uncomfortable when the baby fell asleep because she didn't want to wake him up so she tried hard not to move. But then, Karmina carefully took Kileona and put him on the bed with pillows on each side.
"Keira, would you record that song for my baby?"
"Sure. I just made up the lyrics just now." She smiled. "It's Kileona's first lullaby album."
"Thank you, so much for the gift."
"Of course, Kileona is my godchild. Right, Vi?"
Violet nodded as she tried hard to conceal her tears. It's the first time that she indeed received such a beautiful gift for her darling boy. Her Kileona. If Victor could see him, she knew that he would be overjoyed. She just wished that he's here to take care of her and their baby. Even so, there were a lot of people around her that could help her and it was also the family.
"Vi, I will pick up, Alicia. Do you want anything later?"
"I want strawberries, and I also need breast milk packs."
"Sure. I will get it all for you." Leon kissed her forehead. "Get well soon. Because we will take Kileona home tomorrow."
"Thank you, Leon."
"Sure thing, sis."
Violet was happy. She's so happy now. Leon found new happiness and love from Alicia and her family will be big and together soon. Just a few more times, she will finish the antidote to take Victor back. She won't lose him again this time.
She then watched as Connor hugged his pregnant fiancee and carefully stroked her bump.
"I can't wait for our baby to come out. So, cousin Kileona won't be alone." Connor said as he brought Johanna's hand to his lips.
Why was everything so romantic around? She was suddenly envious of the couple.
