Nadine dropped the book she was reading as she winced in pain.
“Keep on ma-ssaging it Enzo,” she sighed as she stare at her big tummy. Lorenzo smile as he ma-ssage her swollen legs.
They got married to each other which was the happiest day of there lives, it a dream come true for them that finally they can be together and everyone is happy about that. They went for their honeymoon in City park Utah which was a memorable one. Nadine was so happy having her best friend Lorenzo by her side who love, care and support her in everything. Each day beside each other was the best moments of their lives and just few months after their wedding Nadine took in. Lorenzo was the happiest because this time he will get to be there for his baby right from the womb. Eric was excited because he’s also expecting a baby sister or brother even thou he wish to have a baby brother.
They were there every step of the way as they helped Nadine during the pregnancy stage especially when they confirmed she was carrying triplets at her fifth month.
And now she’s already nine months gone, they had to be beside her all the time because she will get to deliver any moment from now.
“You’re the strongest woman I have ever known love,” Lorenzo ki-ssed her feet.
” So that mean I will have three siblings around? Eric asked staring at the big tummy of his mom.
“Sure Champ! You will be a big bro of triplets now,” Lorenzo smiled.
“Wow! I can’t imagine how this house will be,” Eric chuckle
” The babies are kicking Enzo.. and it hurts,” Nadine cried as she made to stand up but Lorenzo helped her.
“Ouch! Nadine let out a cry.
” Is everything okay? Lorenzo asked so worried. He cherish his wife so much and he was so worried for her, carrying those triplets has been a battle for them because it wasn’t easy but he was always there for her, for their babies, he make sure he provide anything she needs: his time, care, love, support and was always cope with her crazy mood swings. Her body changes a lot but that only got her more attractive to him because this the woman giving him her all and putting her life at risk to give them a family.
Almost immediately Nadine felt her water broke as it rushed down to her leg.
“My water just broke,” She said in tears.
“Go and get the car open Eric, am coming with your mom,” Lorenzo said as he held her and helped her walked to outside.
@At the hospital????..

Lorenzo was getting crazy as he paced to and fro, Eric was already in tears seeing his mother in such way and his dad almost going crazy.
Mrs Julianna and some of the nurses are in the room with Nadine who was shouting in pains.
“Nadine!
Lorenzo quickly barged into the room, they nurses try to stop him.
“Allow him,” Mrs Julianna said.
“I can’t Enzo,” Nadine cried, she was covered with her own sweats and tears.
“I can’t.. please take care of Eric when am gone,” she cried.
” Don’t say that love.. you’re are not leaving us. We will successfully give birth to our babies and we will raise them together with you beside me. This is our dream Nadine. You’re the strongest woman I’ve ever known.. please don’t do this to me,” Lorenzo gently held her hand as he squee-zeit gently.
“After our years of suffering we deserves to be happy with our children beside us,” he whispers to her.
” Push Nadine, the baby is coming out,” one of the nurse said.
” For the love we share, for Eric our first son and for our family.. ,” he whisper, that gave Nadine the strength as she held his hand tightly and pushed with all the strength she got.
“The baby is out,” Julianna smile as she held the baby who was crying in his tiny voice.
Lorenzo smile as he felt his heart flutter with joy.
“It’s a boy,” she smiled as she gave the nurse to clean him up.
Two more to go Nadine, remember it’s triplets,”
” It’s a boy Nadine, Eric will be so happy.. you have to give it a try again, please,” Lorenzo cooed as he ki-ssed her sweaty forehead then ki-ssed her hand.
“I love you.. Nadine and I cherished you with my life, if I could help in anyway to birth our babies then I would have done that..,” he whispers while Nadine breathe out as she push again making the second baby to come out which was a baby boy again.
“Just one more… Nadine,” Mrs Julianna said while Nadine cried.
” Am so tired mom.. am tired Enzo, my strength is leaving me,” she said weakly.
” You have to push now Nadine if not the last baby will die.. please,” Mrs Julianna said.
” Just one more Nadine to make our family complete, to make me the happiest father of four kids,” Lorenzo cooed as she tighten her grip on his hand. Lorenzo watch her in tears, indeed she look so exhausted and it as if she have no strength to push the last baby.
“You can do it love, I know you can. You’re so strong..
“Am tired, I can’t Enzo,” she cried weakly as she stare at Lorenzo who was in tears too.
“I love you Enzo..
” I love you too Nadine.. please give it a try again for our triplets to be complete.. you can do it. Giving up is never part of you. You’ve survived all the hurdles of life and came back to me and Eric, am sure you will survive this because you’re a survivor my Sunshine..
Nadine let out a loud scream as she pushed it one last time and third baby came out.
“Congratulations dear, it’s a girl,” Julianna smiled.
“My babies,” Nadine smile weakly before pa-ssing out.

“Am free! Austin asked in shocked while Lorenzo nodded.
” It’s eleven years already and am glad you’ve felt remorseful for what you once did..
Austin just watched in tears, he looks so tattered, his hair was messy and his beards were unkept, he has lose hope in life already.
“I’ve forgiven you Austin thou it wasn’t easy but it’s because of mom Pinna,” Lorenzo said while Austin nodded in tears.
“I don’t deserve this Lorenzo. All I ever did was to hate and cause you pains, I killed you with my own hands, I shot you that night and if not for God you would have been death. Please just kill me I deserves to die … I don’t deserve your forgiveness am evil, am a fool, am stupid and useless, my life is a mess,” Austin cried bitterly as he knelt down before Lorenzo.
” everyone deserves a second chance Austin,” Nadine said sadly as she watched him cried like a baby.
“I don’t deserve a second chance,” he whimpered while Lorenzo pulled him up.
” You don’t really deserve a second chance Austin, you deserve to die just the way Leonard did but you just found Mercy. It’s your opportunity to change and do something useful with your life now,” Lorenzo said looking at him.
” All you ever wanted was to be my brother but I kept chasing you away, I did evil things to you and Nadine.. am so ashamed to even face you now,” he wept.
” it’s okay Austin am sure you’ve learnt your lesson the ha-rd way and we’ve forgiven you too” Nadine smile.
” Mom Pinna last wish was for us to be together as brothers” Lorenzo said sadly as he remembered those days and what she once told him before her death..
***Atimes I wish you are my real son Enzo but still grateful we crossed each other paths. Please continue to see Austin as your brother, don’t hate him even thou you have every reason to hate him but don’t do that please. Austin is the future of the company and I don’t want it to shut down all because of Adams careless lifestyle,”**** she said to him.
Lorenzo shut his eyes as he remembered those words.
” Mom Pinna was right, she said even if I have every reason to hate you I shouldn’t. It was as if she foresee what will happened in the future. You’re still my brother Austin and it was because of your mom I meet a lot of people in my life today, she was kind and has so many connections but your dad shorten her life. Mom Pinna has played a very vital role in my life that I will never forget. The past hurt so much but am no longer living in the past. Am a father now to my four lovely children and a husband to my lovely wife Nadine it will be total waste of time to keep holding grudges,” Lorenzo said.
” Thank you so much Lorenzo.. thank you,” Austin cried.
” And you can start all over with this,” Lorenzo said as he gave him some docu-ments while Austin go throu-ghit and burst into more tears. It was his company docu-ments and it now belong to him.
“It’s one of the best company now, I have some people running it for you all those years but now that you are back to your right senses I want you to handle it yourself so that mom Pinna will be happy wherever she is. It’s never too late Austin to find true love and be focus once again in life, you can still make it. I believe in you” Lorenzo said as he held Nadine and they walked away leaving him in surprised. Austin crouched to the ground as he let out another tears.
“Is this how lucky I am? How could Lorenzo think of forgiving me, talk more of giving me back the company. How can i thank him, how can i repay him..
He regretted every single bad thing he ever did to him.
“Thank you so much Lorenzo and in my next life I will beg to come out as your blood brother.. thank you,” he cried staring at the docu-ments in still in surprise….
.
This just got me emotional,” Nadine wipe her tears when they went outside.
“Thank you Enzo for still considering your killer as your brother, you have the kindest heart ever,” Nadine said while Lorenzo nodded.
” I believe Austin is a changed man now. He can continue from where mom Pinna stopped,” he said.
” I love you Enzo.. am so favoured having you as my husband. Years back I thought there were mountains and door we can’t walk throu-ghtogether but we actually did it!
” And am the luckiest. I love you Nadine. #ONLY_YOU and you alone,” he smile as he claimed her li-ps and ki-ssed her tenderly.
