One year later
Navin POV: Age - 19
I wake up by my wife but I just groan as is just the middle of the night.
-Is not morning yet.
Tessa-Answer it, your dad just woke up both Rosaly and Malkhaz so answer him.
She hands me the phone and turning on my back I answer as I rub my face.
-Hello?
Fiona-Navin, I'm sorry is late but I really can't sleep and so I really must tell you something before I forget to do it.
-I'm listening.
Fiona-For your father's birthday I want to reunite the family.
-We always reunite on birthdays.
Fiona-Not this time. I want to give him a surprise but I need to be sure that everyone is coming.
-So, we still celebrate his birthday but this time you're giving him a special gift. At the end or at the beginning of the party?
Fiona-Actually at the middle. We will celebrate as usual all the beginning and after my gift you're all going to give him your own gifts accordingly to mine.
-Is it a baby? Are you pregnant?
There's a long silence before she answers.
Fiona-Yes. I'm two months pregnant already.
-Hopefully you get like me and Aviv. A set of boy and girl twins.
Fiona-Really?
-No but congratulations. I can't wait to see his face when you tell him about it with everyone.
Fiona-So you're fine with more siblings yourself?
-Of course. I love all my siblings but still, I'm also glad because I'll have younger siblings. Let's see...............
Fiona-What was that?
-Oh nothing. I'll be there for his birthday.
Fiona-Thanks. Bring just the gift you're going to give him and the one for the baby. I'll take care of organizing everything else. Go back to sleep now.
-Definitely. Night.
I hang up and I'm almost asleep when she speaks out loud.
Tessa-Are we included in that family meeting or not?
-Yes you are but a bit later in the party. I want to ease them into the news.
Tessa-Navin.
I stretch myself to sit giving her a sleepy smile.
-Come here.
She sits in front of me and pulling her closer I grab Rosaly in my lap as well.
-I want them to meet you and our kids.
Tessa-But?
-I'm not sure why but I'm slightly afraid and also, I want you three all to myself as long as possible.
Tessa-Well, you got one more month of the latter.
-Let's follow their lead and go to sleep.
Tessa-Let me get them to bed.
-Leave them here. Is no big deal.
Tessa-You're right. Let's do it and let them while we can.
-Of course.
With that we adjust on the bed and we get our kids between us and so we go to sleep.
One month later
Blaz POV: Age - 22
I get to my childhood home with my sons and as I go inside I find that most of my siblings are here. I smile and giving them a slight greeting I make my way towards Fiona and dad in the kitchen. He sees me first.
Liam-Blaz. You've arrived.
He comes to me ruffling my hair messy and I smile giving him one of my sons wich he charges gratefully. Fiona takes the lead and grabs my other son in her arms.
Fiona-He's two right?
-They are, yes.
Fiona-Cute little thing. You should really leave me babysitting them more often than you already do.
-I might not soon and you know why.
I smile and against my very own way of living I pull her close for a hug.
-You'll be great.
With that I go greet everyone else leaving my kids with them.

Navinna POV: Age - 19
I see my brother arrive home and I move from my sisters to him.
-Brother. Finally, now we're all here.
Blaz-That's not true. We're still missing Navin.
-Oh, he's here. On his tree.
Blaz-Oh. Of course he is. He loves that tree.
-He loves a lot of things but he still missed his tree.
Blaz-Come now, we should start this party right away.
-Sure.
We start to pull everything together and slowly the party starts. Dad opens the gifts one by one and as always he asks why the gift and also a question of our life accordingly. I'm glad that my gift is only one because when he opens it he will ask only one question.
Liam-Let's see what Navinna got me.
-Open it. You'll like it.
Liam-Of course I will. Let's see then.
He opens it and it seems he recognizes what it is because he stands to unfold it completely.
Liam-A racing uniform.
-I did it myself based on your original one.
Liam-How did you made it different?
-I used another more comfortable material. It stretches so it fits your size and I got the zipper on the front so you can dress alone.
Liam-Where's the fun in that?
-I'm sure you'll find a way as you always do.
Liam-Thank you. You're a darling.
-I'm not a darling but you still have one more gift to open. Right Fee?
Fiona-This one.
Liam-Money? Tickets to a concert? Or perhaps plane tickets for a vacation.
Fiona-Why don't you open it and see what it is?
Liam-Oh the suspense. Still, I got a question for Navinna.
-Of course you wouldn't forget to ask.
Liam-Navinna.
-Ask ahead.
Liam-Not much. I'm just curious if you and Troy broke up already.
-Of course not. We're better than ever and you won't separate us.
Liam-I know but it could still happen and I have my baby girl back. Hell, I can get you all back.
-Dad.
Liam-Is what I want only. It doesn't necessarily mean it will happen.
Aviva-What an understanding father we got.
Rosabella-He still has to open the wife's gift.
Liam-Oh alright. What can it be that you all want me to open it so eagerly.
He opens the file and unfolding a sheet of paper he understands by the way his shame and embarrassment makes his face red and his body stiff.
Liam-You all know?
Fiona-They do know.
-We all got you both a few things for the new arrival.
Navin-A whole bunch of gifts for the baby and he's not even born yet.
Aviv-Good thing he will use most of them before he actually knows how to use them.
Blaz-Of course they know how, they do use them. Poop in the diapers, dress with the clothes and so on.
Navin-Is instinctively not because they know. That's just how babies are. A good thing, dirty, noisy and bring much joy to the parents life.
Blaz-That's oddly accurate considering you got no kids.
Navin-I was a genius at school but also a genius in life.
Blaz-We'll see about that.
Liam-Navin, Blaz. That's enough.
Blaz-Is alright.
Navin-We're just speaking. Nothing bad to worry about.
The way he grins like a small child is oddly familiar mostly because of how contradictory his gesture is. His smile is that innocent when he's hiding something and knowing that I ask.
-Hey. Sit here Navin. Yeah.
Navin-But of course.
In a moment he's at my side and he kisses my cheek as he pulls me towards him.
Navin-I got no problem spoiling you.
I can't help but laugh at how affectionate he is being right now.
-Gods, you're annoying.
We laugh at our exchange and seeing how dad is better and talking with Fiona I ask.
-Dad?
Liam-Yeah?
-Congratulations. You look happy.
Liam-I am happy.
Blaz-You know, it feels strange telling my kids that their uncle or aunt is younger than them.
Fiona-It feels weird to tell him he's expecting his eight child.
Dad laughs at that and we follow after.

Navin POV: Age - 19
I slip away from my family and their noisy reunion and missing my own kids I care for my nephews for the moment. I pull them to the shadow of my tree with their toys and I play with them. I laugh when they finally manage to make a small tower from their block toys and I laugh even harder when his brother makes it crumble. Still, I stop laughing only smiling calmly as I hold Yunkai and I get him on my lap to calm him down. Babies cry for anything and everything. I hold Yunkai in my lap and Alexei against me and soothingly I speak to them calming them until they fall asleep.
-Your cousins will arrive shortly. You're going to get along.
I smile and as they're finally asleep I use my aura and I start playing with their toys for a few seconds before saving them. I see how my phone lights up with a message and seeing is from my wife I don't even read it but I call her on the moment. She answers immediately.
Tessa-Hey. You saw my message?
-Not really.
Tessa-I knew you wouldn't read it and that's why I only sent hi.
-You're outside right now?
Tessa-I am and I got the kids with me and gifts for them. I also cooked something for the party.
-I'll help you with that. I'll be out in a moment.
Tessa-Ah my love.
She hangs up and I save the phone as I get up.
-Dad, Blaz.
They turn to me and I give them each a kid. One for the grandfather and one for the father.
Blaz-How did you worn them out to sleep? I.............
Liam-Are you alright?
-Yes. I only leave them because I got one more surprise for you but this time is for all of you.
Liam-Is a big surprise then?
-It is.
I smile back at them from my shoulder before I disappear into the house and then to the front where I see her waiting halfway out of the car with the door still open. I feel a happiness overflowing from me as I go towards her.
-Hey pretty woman.
Tessa-Hey handsome.
I hold her waist as she holds my neck toying with the edge of my hair and my neck gently.
-What did you got them? The gifts.
Tessa-You mean besides us?
-Let's go inside then or else they'll come for us.
Tessa-Without my kiss? We're husband and wife.
She groans and unable to hold back I kiss her deeply. Meant to satisfy me but it gets me more eager.
-Should we elope with our kids instead of going inside?
Tessa-As tempting as that sounds, we are compromised and you already said we would go in.
I laugh diverting my eyes to our kids as they are both asleep in their respective car seats. Letting my wife go I grab Rosaly gently so I don't wake her. Holding her mostly in one arm I send a text to Fiona to get the family quiet. I don't want to wake the kids. We don't speak but we know each other so well that we don't need words. She holds our son Malkhaz and my aura holds everything else. Now that I see her entirely I can see her outfit better. A very short casual dress, dark blue and she's wearing white tight leggings underneath. I laugh as she's wearing her exercise sneakers. I keep going in opening the door for her and she smiles caressing my cheek as she goes in first and I can feel the smell of her perfume as she passes. Vanilla. I love that one. I open the backyard door as well and I step outside after her. She looks at the family speaking softly on the garden seats and around the food table and I step up behind her.
-Nervous?
Tessa-Just a little bit. I know all of them but, is a bit weird to come like this.
-They already saw you. Now I just have to introduce as my wife.
Tessa-Your wife. It feels good to be called that.
-Tessa Winters of Silva. Doesn't that sound good?
Tessa-How about our kids?
-Rosaly Silva Winters.
Tessa-Malkhaz Silva Winters.
-They're great names. Come on, let's join them.
Tessa-I look, how do I look?
-Gorgeous. Come on now.
I start heading down the steps and I hold out my hand for her. She takes it and as we start heading down to join them I lead her with my hand on her back.
Liam-Navin.
Blaz-Took you long enough.
Navinna-Who's your friend?
-Straight to the point, as always. She's....
I look at her taking courage from her presence.
-Tessa Winters. She's my wife and these are our kids. Rosaly and Malkhaz.
Liam-Navin.
He stands to us and he looks at our kids curiously yet fondly.
Liam-We will speak later.
-No need. Everything is going well and I can handle my life.
He sighs but still we are questioned smoothly by everyone. I smile as this might be the only hell I enjoy.
