“Pediatric surgery? But didn’t you study everything, though?” Evan asked Shantelle after learning she wanted to do a fellowship with a Pedia Cardio surgeon.

“I did, but I mostly trained with surgeons who operate on adults,” Shantelle replied. “So when Doctor Patel proposed it, I agreed. There are only two pediatric cardio surgeons here in Rose Hills, and the city could use another one.”

On a Saturday morning, the couple was on the road to see Shantelle’s OB doctor when Evan caught Shantelle studying surgeries on children. She had several videos saved on her phone, sent by another doctor.

Shantelle was already four months pregnant, and that day was their big gender reveal. They were also meeting Sean and Reese, for they will have the same procedure. Then, when Karise learned they were seeing the doctorthat day, she also moved her prenatal check up.

“I have to hand it to you, Wifey. You have a lot on your plate. Not just the studying but teaching too,” Evan remarked. It was because the local university had invited Shantelle to teach a few subjects in medicine. It was the same university that her father, William, co-founded before leaving Rose Hills. Shantelle has agreed to teach two surgery classes so far.

“Teaching is the best way to learn, in the sense that it is experiential, and you get to hear many sides from the students. I like how they bring up surgical scenarios that force me to research and think of possibilities myself,” Shantelle revealed. “That and a lot more.”

“Your father is retiring,” Evan said.

Shantelle was still watching the videos when Evan reminded her. She smiled and said, Doctor Hale can take over dad’s position, Evan. I’m still not ready to run an entire hospital. I don’t mind running the thoracic surgical team, but not everybody.”

“I understand, Wifey. We are here,” Evan said, turning left to the hospital driveway.

“Oh, my god, Reese, I’m so glad we went for a checkup together,” Shantelle expressed, sitting beside Reese.

Evan and Sean shook hands before taking seats next to their wives. Just as they settled down, Karise walked into the clinic. She was by herself since Keith was out of town.

The ladies squeaked at seeing each other. Karise sat next to Sean and revealed, “I told Milan we were all having a checkup. She is coming over.”

Reese and Shantelle’s mouths fell open. Shantelle asked, “Milan is pregnant?”

“No.” Karise laughed and said, “She is only having a pap smear. I think they are serious about resting for a while.”

The ladies did not necessarily have the same doctors, but the same clinic had two known obstetricians and gynecologists working together. It was Shantelle who had referred the girls to the same clinic.

“Misses Ross, you are up next,” a secretary announced.

“I hope we are going to have a boy,” Sean said. “Little Sean.”

“What? What about me? Shauna already takes a lot from you. It’s time for a little Reese, regardless if the baby is a boy or girl,” Reese pointed out.

“Okay. Okay, good,” Sean said, surrendering to his wife’s words. “What I mean is a boy. I want a boy.”

Sean put an arm around Reese, saying, “You are getting feisty, eh?”

“That’s what happens when you spoil your wife,” Karise replied.

“But he should,” Shantelle added.

“Of course, wives must be spoiled,” Karise affirmed.

Reese walked into the ultrasound room when Milan arrived. Milan greeted Sean and Reese before waiting with the rest of the crew.

As they were seated, Milan announced, “Guys, my dad wants to retire. Guess who will be the next CEO of our company?”

“Wow! Of course, it can only be Wendell!’ Evan said. “Where is he, by the way?”

“At the office. Weekend work. Taking in the Wright Diamond Corporation as a client made him busy, but Dad was so pleased with Wendell that he declared he was set for life and ready to retire!” Milan revealed, granting chuckles in their party. “The appointment ceremony will be in two months.

Please be there.”

“We won’t miss it,” Shantelle confirmed.

“Glad I’m not yet due then,” Karise said while resting her hand on her six- month old belly.

After a few minutes, Sean and Reese came out, both wearing huge grins. Evan said, “Looks like you both got what you want.”

“Well, I have yet to determine if our son will look like me, but Sean got what he wanted!” Reese revealed.

“We are having a boy!” Sean disclosed. 1

Evan gave Sean a high-five. The man said, “Happy for you, Sean. Many more to come.”

Sean chuckled, saying, “I hope so, but we are not rushing. Not like you and Shanty.”

“We weren’t planning on rushing. I’m just too rich. I need more kids,’ Evan said before smirking.

Everyone laughed at his suggestion, including two other couples who came for their consultation. Shantelle punched Evan in the arm, saying,” What kind of reasoning is that?”

“Okay, truth be told, I’m simply crazy about my wife, and I can’t help but want more children with her,” Evan admitted. “Everyone agrees to that?”

“Agree!” Sean confirmed.

“We all agree,” Reese echoed. “Now, I think it’s your turn. What will it be? A boy or a girl?”

“A girl,” Evan claimed.

“I hope so too. That would mean we will have two girls and two boys,” Shantelle said.

Evan and Shantelle were called in next. The rest lingered in the waiting area, making their predictions. Out of nowhere, they heard Evan scream from inside the ultrasound room, “Yes’”

Laughter filled the air by the sofas. Karise concluded, “I think that means the baby is a girl.”

The couple confirmed with their friends when Evan and Shantelle were done with their consultation, both loudly saying, “We are having a girl!” 1

“Congratulations!” Reese greeted while Karise hugged Shantelle.

“Looks like we both got what we want, Evan! How about we celebrate?” Sean proposed.

After Karise’s and Milan’s consultations, they went to the Diamond Hotel for a lunch buffet. Wendell drove over to join their group.

Since Keith was the only one missing, they called him for a video call. Keith was at Warlington, reviewing the claims in the city. He was supposed to return a day before, but the weather turned out bad in Warlington, and even the private jets were not allowed to leave. That was how Karise went to the hospital alone, leaving Kamila in Helen’s care.

“Too bad, Keith. You are missing on the great lunch,” Wendell said.

“I’m stuck out here, and I think it will be for another day or two before the weather clears out,” Keith reported on the phone. “Will someone please take care of my wife?”

“Pfft!” Karise laughed. It wasn’t like she needed someone to look after her. She just did not like having a driver to follow her around. She had more freedom simply being dropped off or riding an Uber.

“I am doing just fine, Babe,” Karise claimed. “And your daughter is doing well too. She is very active in my tummy.”

“We’ll take care of her,” Sean assured Keith. “Reese and I will take her home.”

“Thanks, Sean. Owe you one,” Keith said.

After the video call with Keith, the friends continued to have a delicious meal. They were already finishing up dessert when Karise received another call. It was from Keith’s mother, Helen.

Everyone slowly noticed how Karise stilled on the phone. She kept nodding, saying, “I’ll be there. No – no. Stay with Dad at the hospital. The maids will look after Kamila, and I’ll be there in half an hour.”

When Karise was done, she looked at her friends, revealing, “Keith’s father got admitted to the Heart and Lung Center.” She gulped and added, “They said… Dad has pneumonia.”

She got up in a panic, saying, “I need to go. I better check on Keith’s parents and then Kamila

“We’ll check on Uncle Charles,” Evan offered. “Shanty was planning to head to the center and visit patients anyway.”

Shantelle repeatedly nodded, saying, “Take care of Kamila first, and don’t worry. We will update you about Uncle Charles on the phone. No need to rush.” Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

Karise was immediately teary-eyed. Being pregnant and Keith out of town, she was panicking. She sucked in a breath, saying, “I love you guys.

Seriously. I’m glad I married Keith because marrying Keith meant having you as friends.”

Reese and Milan especially hugged Karise. After getting Soothed, Reese and Sean left with Karise to Henderson’s mansion while Shantelle and Evan prepared to leave for the Heart and Lung Center.

“Wait. Wait. What about US? There must be something we could do?” Wendell asked.

Evan thought profoundly and said, “Well, for starters, you could… pay the bill? Mister soon to be CEO.”

Milan chuckled while Wendell shook his head, saying, “Go, go, go. I’ll take care of the bill. Update me later.”

“No, seriously. Go home to your twins. They are still young and need their parents. Since you gave Lucas the honor of naming your twins.” Evan and Shantelle looked at each other, smiling. The man

turned to Wendell, declaring, “We’d love it if you would name our next daughter.”
