Chapter 74 - PART 2: Chapter 51 - Blood And Roses

RATED 🔞

PRESENT DAY: WEDDING DAY.

Narrator

Inside a five star presidential suite, a woman was moaning so loud that her moans echoed everywhere in the atmosphere. Her grasp tightened around his shoulders as he kept pounding her hard that her head spills a 360 degree.

She raked her fingers in his silk hair as she tried holding back her moans but the pleasure made it betray her. She moaned his name a million times until he flipped her over so she's on top of him, riding him like a bike.

His grasp tightened around her waist as he thrust himself hard into her. She threw her head back, allowing her moans evaporate everywhere as the pleasure takes over her body and soul.

Meanwhile, a tropical island wedding was supposed to take place.

All the family members and friends are waiting outside for the bride and groom who are yet not to arrive. Everyone grew worried as anxiety filled the air. Individuals kept calling the numbers but no one is answering.

Some are pacing back and forth, anxiously.

What is going on? What is wrong?

Meanwhile, the head of the security team outside the grand hotel saw the caller ID on his phone's screen. He ignored it and put it back in his pocket. His eyes, monitoring the environment, making sure no one gets here. Then he looked up to the toppest floor of the glass building where the two people he's waiting for, are. He glance at his watch for the hundredth time and curse when his phone rang again.

The families and friends at the tropical island, glance at their watch again and wonder what's taking the bride and groom so long to get here.

They're already an hour late and everyone is here waiting. The place made for the audience are already occupied with people patiently waiting for the ceremony to begin. Even the archbishop crossed his arms on his chest, patiently waiting too.

Antoni couldn't take it any longer. He took out his other phone and dialed the bride's number. But she wasn't picking up.

"God damnit!" He cursed. "Where the hell are they?"

Adira is scared. She's thinks something might have happened to the bride or the groom.

"Antoni, where you able to reach any of them?" She asked, her voice shaking in fear. 

Antoni sighed, raking his finger over his brown hair, "No, Auntie. They're not picking up."

"What?" Mikolaj snapped. "Not even Sebastian not even Elizabeth? Where the hell are they? Isn't Sebastian supposed to be here before the bride? What the hell is up with these kids?"

"Have you tried calling Bruce?" Matt asked.

It's like everyone is ready to throw a stone at Antoni if he doesn't speak up.

He whined, "Dude, I called him but he isn't picking up either."

"Olorun mi (My God)," Adira's mother — Rukky Omowummi exclaimed, clasping her hands over her head. "Are you sure they had the correct address?" She asked her daughter.

Adira is restless but still answered, "Yes, mom. Seb and I both came here last week to make the preparations before hand. How could you say he got the wrong address."

"But look at it, he's not here." Rukky retorted as if Adira was the cause of the situation. "My grandson is not here and you're telling blah blah blah."

It's like Rukky's voice is making the situation even worse as Adira covered her ears and walked inches away.

Rukky turned to Dayo who had his phone over his ear since, talking to the available person who could render help.

"Give me that." Rukky snatched the phone and threw it away, taking Dayo and the others by surprise. "Since when you had this phone over your ear, what positive solution has it brought?"

"Do you have any idea how am trying my best to make this work?" Dayo reasoned out.

"I don't care and I don't want to hear it, Felix." Rukky was not keeping it down. She's making a scene as heads are turning towards her now. "My grandson and his fiancée are nowhere to be found and you're here making meaningless calls."

Fernando dressed in his utmost best Armani suit, walked out when he heard the noise coming from the outside. He was the one who was going to fill in the gap of a father since Rodriguez decided not to partake in his daughter's wedding.

Susanna dressed in a red floor-length off-shoulder gown followed Fernando too. She held her gown as her four inches crystal heels wouldn't give way for her hopping around.

Her eyes went round for the thousandth time in search of her daughter.

The anxiety written all over her face as she went to Fernando side. "Why is Elizabeth still not here? I called her and she's not picking up, maybe you should try."

Fernando sighed, tired of trying. "I called too but no response from her. She's not even replying to my texts."

Susanna's heart started pounding fast, "Oh dear, did something bad happened to her?"

"What?" Fernando frowned, "No. Please stop saying that. She'll be here anytime soon." He made his way to Antoni who was talking with Ben, "Have you tried?"

Antoni rolled his eyes, apparently tired of how everyone is coming to him for positive answers. "Yes and he's not picking. Not him, nor her."

"But Sebastian has never arrived late in anything before. Talk more of today of all day, his wedding day." Frank said.

"What's really going on?" Callaway whined.

When Frank saw Ben's younger sister —Goldie hopping to were he was, he changed angle and went to meet his friends on the other side.

Goldie felt a bit disappointed. He's been avoiding her the whole time and she wonders if what she's wearing really has something to do with it. That scares him off every minute.

But she's not wearing rags. She perfectly dressed up just for him. She puts the best HD make-up with best lipstick and eyeshadow. She also ordered the dress she was wearing from London: A white floral floor-length long sleeve off-shoulder that hugged all her curves and hourglass figures. She also tied her golden blonde hair into a high ponytail that hung on the top of her head.

Instead of her giving up, she continued trying. Frank was talking with Dobrav when he suddenly saw the figure standing beside him.

"Hi," she tried to put on her best smile.

She's beautiful but he couldn't let himself be deceived by her beauty or by her spell.

In presence of his friend, Dobrav, he asked her, "What do you want from me? And why are you following me everywhere like a puppet?"

Dobrav squeezed his friend's arm, reminding him that he takes it easy on the twenty-two year old girl. Looking at her right now, her eyes welled up and was ready to ruin her make-up.

Frank let out a frustrated sigh, apparently tired of his friend's sister stalking him and throwing herself at him all the time.

It's not like he doesn't like her. But he's just too scared to give in and hurt her. She's not anyone. She's the sister of his best friend, Ben.

And apart from that, she's way younger than him. He's twelve years older than her and she's too pure for a guy like him.

"Look, I know what you want, okay? But am not ready." He's lying to himself. He's says one word but his heart says another. "Just….God…" he didn't know what to say. He simply walked away.

What is she doing to him?

All throughout last night, he's head was throbbing thinking about her— his best friend's sister but here she was and he was neglecting her.

"Didn't you say you saw him leaving his resident earlier?" Mikolaj lashed out at his son. "Because if I remember, you two live at the same street."

"Yes, dad. I saw him driving to this place—"

"Then where is he now!?" Mikolaj interrupted Antoni. "Look at everyone worried. Is this nice? Huh? What an embarrassment! I don't know what you're gonna do but it's up to you now, Jan. Better keep calling until he gets his damn ass here, because I won't take shit! Not from you, nor him!" He puts his sunglasses on and walked to a safer place where he could smoke his tobacco.

"Your dad is pissed as hell." Dobrav walked up to him. Both hands in his pockets.

"What you gonna do now?" Ben asked.

Antoni groaned in frustration, "Dude, I don't know. I was changing diapers when Seb told me he was ready to leave. I had to leave the diapers for my mother in-law to do and then drove out to catch up with Seb but along the line, he disappeared. I don't know what happened."

"I think we should track them." Fernando walked up to them. "With their phone numbers, we can get the appropriate location."

Callaway, Ben and Antoni gave him a puzzled look for a while.

"I haven't tracked anyone before but...I think we should try." Antoni said. And when he did…. "Holy fuck!"

The others including Fernando all popped their heads on his phone's screen.

"Seb is at his hotel? Doing what?" Dobrav frowned, looking up at Antoni for answers.

"Dude, I thought you said he left home and was coming here before he suddenly disappeared?" Ben said.

"Check for Elizabeth's too." Fernando said and Antoni quickly typed in Elizabeth's number in the tracking box.

When they found out it's the same location and place as Seb's, they all lift their heads and looked at each others faces.

Adira held her striking purple floor-length gown and rushed towards where Antoni and his friends were, "Was anybody able to contact my son?"

Antoni looked at her and sighed, "Auntie, Seb and Elizabeth are at the hotel."

"What!?" Her eyes popped out as well as her brows getting furrowed. "Is it the same hotel?"

Antoni nodded, "Yes."

"No," Adira could only echoed her word in a low whisper. "It's bad luck for a groom to meet his bride before the wedding. How….God, Sebastian has finished me…..what is wrong with this child? How—"

Their attention was taken aback when a white range rover drove in followed by four black convoys behind. All the SUVs tied up in colourful ribbons and balloons.

Everyone fixed their gaze at it since it was the centre of attention. Mikolaj puts off his cigarette and joined the others to see if it were the people they've been waiting for, for two good hours.

Adira was the first to make her way forward and the others quietly watched the suspense.

The driver's door opened and Sebastian hopped out of it, looking satisfied with the world best smile. But it slowly disappeared when he saw the bunch of angry faces staring at him.

Adira's eyes trailed down on him from head to toe. His shoes were not laced, his tie was hanging out of his pants' pocket, his long hair ruffled, some buttons of his white inner were undone with three red lipstick patched on different places and even on his chin.

Elizabeth on the other hand was too scared to get out of the car. She remained in the passenger seat when she saw her mom looking around for her. She shut her eyes and wished they never came late in the first place. She haven't even put on her shoes. They had to run out of the hotel like hoodlums running from the cops.

She blamed Sebastian for this situation. She was in the hotel room, getting ready when Sebastian suddenly appeared on her doorstep and begged her for at least five minutes of her time. Along the line, five minutes turned into two hours.

She warned him that it'd be bad luck for a bride and a groom to meet before wedding but Sebastian who is not a believer of all those things, called it fairytales and still had his way into her room.

"What were you doing in your hotel with Elizabeth?" Adira tried to contain her anger even though she knew it would be impossible not to make a scene right this minute.

Sebastian did not answer. He tuck his hands into his pockets and look away in embarrassment.

"Sebastian, so from your own conscience, you decided to stand everybody up and…." She took off her shoe and immediately Seb saw that, he started walking backwards. "Drag that innocent Elizabeth to your hotel room, hmm?"

She started chasing him around the range rover, holding her shoe up as she hope to hit his head with it.

"Stand one place when I'm talking to you, stupid boy." She threw her shoe at him but he dodged it immediately. "Sebastian, I'm going to break your head."

Antoni quickly make his way to stop her before she does something crazy. "Auntie, please calm down. Time is ticking and doing this right now is not helping matters. You can deal with him later after the wedding."

Sebastian gave Antoni a Bro-I-got-an-arousal-and-needed-elizabeth look.

Antoni only mouthed 'Really? Couldn't it have waited for your wedding night?'

Bruce came handing Adira her shoe.

"And you…." She took it from him and plan to hit him too but he dodged anyway. "You're very stupid and foolish. You knew your boss was folicking in the hotel but still choose not to pick our calls or inform any of us about it."

"Sebastian, where have you been?" Mikolaj is trying so hard to contain his temper. "You stood everybody up for two damn hours! Look at how you're dressed on your wedding day. Like a playboy."

"That is what he is." Rukky added, matching her way to deal with Seb but he's running around the range rover. "Are you making me chase you around? omugo omugo. (Stupid idiot.)"

"Where is Elizabeth?" Adira's eyes darting around for her sweet girl.

Sebastian scratched the back of his head and pointed at the passenger side. "In the car."

"Will you get dressed properly? What's the meaning of this?" Mikolaj scolded him. "Look at your shoes, not properly laced, your tie hanging out in your pocket and lipstick smudge everywhere on your sleeves. When did you become untidy?"

The rest of Sebastian's friends burst into laughter but when he glared at them, they swallowed back.

Adira and Susana quickly reached for the passenger door. They gently brought Elizabeth out of the car and noticed she's not wearing her shoes.

Adira walked to Sebastian's side and gave him a resounding knock on his head. Damn he wasn't expecting it.

"Ouch! Fuck, mommy?" He winced, still holding his head.

"Look at her condition." Adira pointed at Elizabeth who was now standing beside Susana. "Tell me how is it still possible to sleep with a woman in this condition but your scattered mentality will not give you sense that she's due and needs rest."

"Dude, so you were busy having sex." Ben laughed. Seb gave him a look and he mouthed, "Sorry."

"Don't you know it's bad luck to meet your bride before the wedding? But you choose to lure this innocent girl to your damn bed." Mikolaj added.

None of them were taking it easy on him and Sebastian was wearing out already.

"Fuck off, everybody. I don't give a damn the shit you're fucking talking about. This is my fiancé and when or not I spend my time with her is none of your fucking business."

Without giving a damn to the shocking eyes staring at him, he grabbed Elizabeth's wrist and pull her with him. Forgetting she's not wearing her shoes.

The rest stood in astonishment and wide-eyed, watching the bride and groom walking down the aisle on their own instead of doing it the proper way.

"Bro, she's not wearing her shoes and you're not properly dressed." It's like Antoni was talking to himself because Sebastian was not paying attention at all.

Mikolaj shook his head helplessly as he lets out a frustrated sigh. Just looking at his godson right now makes him want to ask himself were he went wrong in bringing him up.

Just look at the both of them: looking like they just escaped kidnapping or arm robbery.

When Sebastian reached the middle of the aisle, all eyes remained on him as they know the groom wasn't supposed to bring the bride to the altar.

Seb waved his middle finger at their faces and mouthed a 'Fuck You' to all of them.

Now, Elizabeth could tell that her fiancé is a psychopath.

The moment they reached the altar, Sebastian attempts to kiss Elizabeth even before the rituals.

"Sebastian, No!" His families and friends shouted from the back. And he withdrew out of reflex.

The archbishop shook his head helplessly at the very act that almost happened in front of him. He didn't reciprocate anyway. He opened his bible and started the ceremony.

The vows were made and the archbishop blessed the union and pronounced them husband and wife.

Before he even said: You may kiss your bride? Seb had already pulled Elizabeth into his embrace, kissing her lips like he wants to suck the living daylight out of her.

Mikolaj facepalm and shook his head in pity. "I'm sorry, Adira but I never brought him up this way." He told her but she eyed him up and down disgustingly.

Everyone settled in the reception later. Where there were dancing, music, food, drinks, champagnes, comedy and all of that.

The bouquet was thrown and Goldie caught it. She was so happy to be the next in line. Unfortunately for one person: Frank got the garter and hell his face filled up with embarrassment.

"Congratulations, Dude." Antoni approached Frank with a wide grin and a glass of wine in his hand. "You're next in line and hell, I'll tell you a prophecy. You'll be getting married soon."

He sipped his wine and walked away, leaving Frank to be fuming hard.

Elizabeth was super tired of dancing with Seb and almost all his friends who took turns in sharing in the fun. The loud music was throbbing her eardrums and it felt like the ocean view was the only one doing her a little favour of serenity.

She managed to find an empty seat and sat down, exhaling all her exhaustion out. She place her hand on her bump and thought of her bestie Bianca who was still at home nursing her one month old twins and couldn't make it to the wedding, then her eyes flung on Natasha dancing gracefully with her husband Leonard.

She stare for a while before looking down at giant belly. It looked like it's gonna burst anytime soon.

She leaned her head on her fist and sighed, rubbing her belly.

Seb was looking everywhere for her until he finally saw her sitting in a corner. A wide smile spread across his face as he majestically matched his way towards her.

"Hello, Mrs. Jakub." He squatted down in front of her and kissed the back of her hand, "Do you mind having a dance with me?"

Elizabeth groaned. Tired.

This was gonna make it the tenth time she's dancing with him.

She smiled weakly, "I'm sorry, Mr. Jakub but Mrs. Jakub is tired and needs to rest now."

He kissed her palm, luring her to the dance floor, "Come on, baby. Just this once. Please."

Elizabeth sighed, "Seb—"

"I promise. Just this once. Come on, my love." He grinned, spreading kisses all over her arm until she finally gives in.

"Okay, fine." She said.

"Yes!" He whooped. She has never seen him this happy until today. This wedding really tightened their love rope and ever since they were pronounced husband and wife, Seb couldn't stop gawking himself around her. It's like the marital title ring a bell and trigger his feelings for her even more.

Especially the part where he keeps testing the word: 'Wife' on his tongue. It's like a new age of life.

With one hand at the small of her back, hers on his shoulder and their fingers intertwined, they slowly flow with the classic music playing in the background.

The music later changed to 'Guilding light' by 'John Newman'

Seb and Elizabeth didn't dance ruggedly like the others, they just go easy with the flow. Slow spins and steady steps.

"Are you happy?" Seb couldn't contain his excitement. He still can't believe they're happily married.

He pulled her close until no space was left between them. She place her head on his chest while he rest his chin on her temple.

"Yes," she smiled. "Very happy. And you?"

"God, I'm super excited, honey. We're finally married." He kissed her forehead.

Elizabeth wanted to add up something but suddenly, she felt something dripping down her thighs.

"Seb…." She looked down, worried.

Sebastian followed her gaze but never understood what the matter was. All he saw was the sandy floor. "What is it, my love?"

She looked up and met his eyes, "I'm falling into labour."

"What!?" He blinked and stopped dancing.

"The babies are coming." She breathe heavily, trying to cool down her nerves.

"Shit!" Without further ado, he flung her into his arms and rushed towards his car.

Adira noticed something was off when she saw Sebastian rushing out with Elizabeth in his arms.

She tapped Susana's shoulder, "I think Elizabeth is in labour. We have to go now."

*******

Sebastian stormed into the hospital reception with Elizabeth in his arms. By now, blood were dripping down from her and staining the clean white tiles on the floor. Her white wedding dress had added up a touch of red stains too.

"Where's the fucking doctor?" He roared at the nurses walking around.

When they saw their condition, they quickly volunteer to help.

Benita walked into the scene with wide-eyed and rushed to her friend, "Oh my god, Serena." She requested a stretcher and had Elizabeth laying flat on it.

While the stretcher was taking her away to the ward, Seb held her hand, following her.

"Relax, baby. You're gonna be okay." He whispered the words to her. His heart beating rapidly.

He has never been this scared in his entire life before. He never thought something would ever make his mind fly but just this little moment is setting him on death note.

She pretended to digest his words but couldn't. It was hurting the more, "I can't. It feels like I'm dying."

He refused to buy her words, "No, baby, don't you ever say that." The tears welled in his eyes. "You have to be strong. For us and the babies."

"Serena, please be strong for me, okay? Take a deep breath." Benita encouraged her the whole time.

When they finally reached the unit, Benita stopped Seb by the door when he attempts to go in, "I'm not sure you'll be able to bear the things you'll see when you get in here."

"I don't fucking care, all I know is that I want to be beside my wife." His voice shaking.

Benita sighed and looked at him for a while, "Are you sure you can do this? It's horrific, you know."

Seb nodded and whispered, "Yes, I can."

Benita allowed him in and locked the door quickly. The nurses and doctors were already working on Elizabeth, encouraging her to take a few deep breaths before the process.

They changed her out of her wedding dress into a big maternity gown. Seb stood beside her the whole time, whispering words of hope and encouragement into her ears.

He wished he was the one in her position instead of ber. He hates to see her suffer.

"Serena, you have to do me a favour now, okay?" Benita puts on her hand gloves, nose mask and theater uniform before angling Elizabeth's thighs.

Sprouting her legs out.

"Slow and steady, can you push for me?" She sets her hands inside Elizabeth when she felt the first baby's head peeking out.

"Baby, please." Sebastian is begging with all the hope he has left. He knows his wife is a strong woman. He knows she's brave.

"AAAaaaaahHHHHHHHHHH!!!" Elizabeth's screams filled the room as she tried. She slumped back on the bed, breathing heavily. "Oh my god, is the world ending yet? Jesus. I just saw Jesus. Holy Mary. My pussy hurts."

"Push more," Benita encouraged her.

Seb kissed the back of her hand again, holding her hand tight as the tears rolled down his cheeks.

He kissed her forehead and begged her to try harder.

Elizabeth managed to lift her body up a bit, eyes tightly shut, "Ahmmmm!!!"

"AAAaaaaahHHHHHHHHHH!!!" She cried, screaming her loudest and swore she saw stars.

"Go on, the baby is coming." One of the nurses said.

*****

Few hours later…..

"Congratulations! You had two healthy boys and a girl!"

Those were the last few words Elizabeth heard before she passed out.

***

Sebastian couldn't take his eyes off the three bundle of joy wrapped up inside the big cot. To the extent, tears rolled down his chins. The kind of joy he has now, even money could not afford it.

He has never been this happy and overwhelmed in his life before. It's like the presence of the new borns added to the existing happiness of their wedding. Causing the joy to multiply.

He sniffed his nose, wiping the tear drops that threatened to fall down.

He caressed the three little faces who still find it hard to open their little eyes because of the bright room and reflecting lights. He can't believe these sweet souls —wiggling their little arms and legs are his little version. Half of him and half of her. A beautiful combination they created.

He chuckled when his baby boy wrapped his small white hand around his big finger. The baby reminded him of a baby picture of himself when he was little. He can't imagine the amount of joy his mother had back then that very moment he was born.

Now, he completely understands how it feels. The feeling of becoming a father and seeing your baby alive. There's no joy greater than this.

Elizabeth who had been sleeping for quite some moments finally woke up and saw her newly wedded husband sharing his joy with his little self. A sweet smile encrypted her face.

"You're crying." She told him when she saw the tears dripping down his chin without him knowing.

He quickly wiped it away and shook his head, "They're tears of joy."

Elizabeth smiled. She knew he's still finding it hard to believe that he's now a father.

"Good thing you're awake." He said before taking his eyes off the cot to look at her. "How are you feeling now?"

She did her best to sit up, in spite the biting pain on her body, especially the place where she just pushed out three heavy pounds of babies.

But still, she hides the pain under a smile. "Better."

He nods and covered his baby girl's mouth when she lets out a wide yawn, "Hello, darling."

Elizabeth let out a small laugh because she knew he's still trying to get used to the new-daddy-in-town system.

"You haven't named them yet?" She asked.

"I was waiting for you to wake up first. We made them together, so we'll name them together." He carried the first boy in his arms, cradling him with care and love.

He lifts his eyes to Elizabeth and saw her doing the same to him. His smile broadened. "He's chubby and cute."

"Cute like you," she chuckled.

He played with his little chubby cheeks and adjusted the blanket over his light-reddish pink body.

He kissed his forehead and looked at Elizabeth who was smiling the whole time, "Thank you for giving me the happiness I deserve. I'm not worthy of this fate. Not with the kind of life I've lived in the past. I never thought one day that…. I'll become a husband, a father, have a beautiful wife by my side, start up my own family, have beautiful kids like…"

He looked down at the bundle of joy peacefully sleeping in his arms and added, "Beautiful kids like these. There's no prayers or blessings I can ever ask for more than what I have now. More than what you have given me."

Elizabeth didn't know what to say. All she felt was the prick of tears threatening to gather in her eyes.

"Benita said he came out first." He cuddled the child in his arms. "He's just two minutes older than his brother. That one is five minutes older than his sister."

Elizabeth couldn't believe he stood by her the whole time, all throughout the birth, "You're brave. You were with me throughout the delivery. It was really disgusting, I know."

He laughed, "That's a silly word to use. As far as it has to do with you, it doesn't irritates me. I needed to be there for you because you needed me and my support."

Elizabeth looked at the little one sleeping like nobody's business in Seb's arms and smiled, "Honey, I won't lie to you. This one has almost all your features and your eyes."

His brows creased, "You've seen his eyes? Well, he never let me. He kept blinking and falling asleep every now and then. Benita also said the same thing."

"That?" She raised her brows.

"The eldest has my traits, the second has a little bit of my resemblance but more of your features and the youngest is a copy of you."

Elizabeth chuckled, "So, what do we name this one?"

"You tell me." He said. He always wants her opinion to comes first in everything. And that's why she loved him.

Elizabeth shook her head, "No, honey. We have a tradition from my place that said no child is formed without a man. So, it's your duty to name them. I'm just your helpmate."

"My wife." He corrected and there she remembered they were just newlyweds couple.

To her, it's like a new record break of history: today was still their wedding day, the party was still ongoing and still today, they had their babies. It's double blessing, all in one.

"You're my darling wife and the mother of my kids." When she smiled, he looked down at the chubby infant he was carrying, "Szymon Michal Sebastian Jakub."

He looked at Elizabeth, "That's his full name."

She nodded with a satisfied sigh.

Within her she knew that, that was a great name. A strong name. His first name Szymon was pronounced: Shih-mon, a strong polish name, the form of Simon, meaning (God has heard).

Then his middle name: Michal was pronounced as: Mee-how.

Sebastian carefully handed the baby to her and carried the second one: his youngest son.

He didn't have to think first before recalling a good name. He already has a bucket list filled with heart desiring names.

"Aleksy Dominik Sebastian Jakub." He said.

When the baby yawned and snuggled into his arms, Elizabeth laughed, "Look at him: I think he loves the name."

"But I'll call him Dominik often because I've always cherished the name. I once wished my mom had called me that instead of Sebastian." He puts Aleksy back in the cot and carried his daughter who was wide awake.

"I like Sebastian." She bit her lower lip. "It means: a man of calibre and toughness. And that's what you really are."

He sighed, a reflection of past memories flushed in, "Mikolaj had to fill me with two more names and his surname because my mom only gave me one and…" He paused when something about the past flashed in.

Elizabeth thought for a while: maybe that's why he's giving the babies four names each, attaching his name and surname to it.

But then, he added something that almost made Elizabeth hate herself.

"I'll put it in a way that I'm a bastard that's why I get to share same surname with Antoni and everybody thinks Mikolaj is my real dad." He laughed sarcastically.

But Elizabeth was not seeing anything funny in it. "No, honey. Please don't say that. You're not a bastard."

"But that's the truth." He sighed. "I accepted Felix as my dad because my mom wants a father figure for me. But between me, I know deep down that I am a bastard, because I don't know who my real father is. Mom doesn't know too because I was conceived from different sperm puts together and maybe that's why I'm just like my anonymous biological father, because according to the story, hoodlums ambushed my mom in school and she was raped. So put together, my dad was a thug and that's what I am—"

"Sebastian!" Elizabeth couldn't take it any longer. Her bloodshot eyes were daggering at him. "You are my husband no matter what you think or do. And I don't fucking care if you're a thug, a mafia, a cultist, a serial killer or whatsoever. You have a family now and we're here. Isn't that enough?"

A smile formed on his face as he walked over to kiss her lips. "I love you."

She sighed, "I love you more. You know I really do, right? So please, stop talking about the past. It hurts me whenever I come across it. We have kids now. Look at them as your new generation and let every other things be put aside, including our past."

He nodded.

She smiled, feeling the satisfaction of taking his mind away from his past. It was necessary to do so especially after how life was cruel to him: Living with the stigma of fatherlessness.

Anyway, she liked her second baby's name: Aleksy, pronounced as: Ah-LEK-see. A noble name meaning Defender or Helper. And his middle name: Dominik is pronounced: Doh-mee-neek.

"Hello, Princess." He kissed the little damsel in his arms. She wiggled her feet and moved her arms happily.

He laughed and the baby shrieked, "You're excited to meet daddy for the first time, huh? Okay. I'll name you Liliana Klaudia Sebastian Jakub. Do you like it?" He kissed her chubby cheek and she babbled. "I know. I can see it."

He looked at Elizabeth, "She loves it."

"I think this one would be playful. Look at how she's shrieking." Elizabeth shook her head.

Liliana was pronounced: lee-lee-ah-nah. Seb named her that name because she appears graceful and melodic. Her name means pure and innocent.

While her middle name: Klaudia is pronounced: Klow-dyah.

Just then, the door opened without permission and a bunch of people entered the room with flowers and gifts.

Seb was a bit surprised and confused. "Wait, how did you guys know we were missing?" He asked his friends who held bouquets of different flowers.

By now, Sebastian was already holding Dominik in one arm and Liliana in the other. While Elizabeth had Szymon sleeping in her arms the whole time.

"Bro," Antoni couldn't believe the numbers of babies he was seeing. He puts the bouquet aside, "Dude, this is a jackpot. Triplets? Damn. I'm sending Bianca pictures now." He brought his phone out and quickly took some photos of the babies.

Adira and Susana rushed to Elizabeth's side. Susana on the other hand couldn't contain her emotions.

"Mom," Elizabeth whispered when she saw the tears wetting her mom's cheek.
