Clara

"Why don't I take them to doctor Alex while you go see your doctor?"Lola suggested, since Clara recently complained of some abdominal pain .

Clara couldn't be more grateful, she smiled at her, after all her big sister is still the best , she ran into her arms and gave her a tight hug, followed by a kiss ." Lola, you are the best, what would I have done without you by my side." Lola just stood there unable to come up with a better response.

" Okay, now that's okay, let go of me now people are watching, it won't be good if these people have a bad idea about us." she whispered this through her teeth, she never likes being in a situation whereby everyone's attention will be on her and this is what Clara's childish behavior was creating .

What would those people think seeing two young women with kids hugging and even kissing?.

," Oh sorry!,my bad " Clara apologized feeling awkward, she was too emotional and ended up embarrassing herself, as if she felt glaring eyes around her she turned and saw some of the women whispering to each other some immediately looked away when her eyes met theirs.

<Huh!, it's not what you are thinking ,

Look, I'm also a mother and we both like men.>Clara finds herself explaining.

She wanted to scream this out but she just petted Lola on her shoulder and ran to the counter to see the nurse and book an appointment with a doctor .Leaving Lola and her three bunnies speechless.

" Why do I feel like Mom's the weirdest weirdo I've ever seen. "Little cupcake said, shaking his little head like an old man lost in thought.

" She sure is."This time the little treasure couldn't help but agree with a lazy voice.

" Big momma, let's not keep my doctor Alex waiting, please, " little bunny who was more concerned about her doctor couldn't care less, she even brought him a gift.

Lola looked down at the three little men and young woman and she thought to herself

' not actually just your Mom including you guys , your family is full of weirdos and I'm sure it is from that father of yours because my Ryan is the best. '

" Sugars let go! "she beckoned, but there was no need for her to lead the way these guys can come alone if not for how far the hospital is from home.

" Good day ma'am. Clara greeted the nurses incharge with a sweet smile.

" Good day, ma'am, how may we be of help? " one of them asked, returning her smile. Clara was not surprised by her reaction; she was already used to it , having people stare at her like she just stepped out of a magazine .

"I'm Clara Davis , I would love to book an appointment to see a gynecologist. " she explained she was smiling sweetly at the nurses because when she stepped in they were discussing her new song and they sounded like die hard fans .

The nurse quickly went through some files and brought one out.

" Here we go , Clara Davis, you say?, please have this," she handed her a piece of paper with a series of numbers written on it, "You may have your seat over there, once the doctor is through with the patient inside, you will be the next person."

" Ok thank you.'' She walked to the sit in front of an office and sat down. She needs to see a gynecologist , her menstrual flow has been irregular and she can't figure out the reason, not to mention the abdominal pain she has been feeling lately.

Meanwhile , inside one of the wards down the corridor where she was seated, Xavier was listening to Judith who won't stop talking about how she won't come back to the hospital again for delivery.

" Big boss, I wonder how madam will get through this alone ,it was very painful, It felt like I'm being stabbed with a sword in different parts of my body , the doctor said my waist was too thin that was why it was painful but if after all my training my waist still ended thin how would ...." when she started this topic, Tony, who was sitting at the edge of the bed have been trying to stop her by poking her feet and making different type of sounds with his throat ,but trust Judith, she just ignored all the signs he have been giving , the person who have always find the madam annoying was now fighting for her.

" Huh!, your waist is thin? " Was the only thing that caught Xavier's attention , " how can your waist be thin?" ,if Judith's waist was said to be thin after all the training she received, what about Clara's? .

" Yes , do you think madam will be able to endure this process or was she operated?, but for a doctor to carry out any CS the patient's husband has to sign up for it." Judith was carefully studying every chance that appears on Xavier's face and she's enjoying what he's offering, she didn't stop there.

"She's clearly more fragile and delicate than me, right?" Judith have been angry with Xavier especially when she got to know that the woman she have been taking care of was an imposter ,if only Xavier had moved on and stop dwelling on the past all this wouldn't have happened in the first place, she still has a lot of leg pulling to do but their conversation was interrupted by Xavier's phone.

<><><><>

" Hm!, boss you changed your wallpaper," Tony was the first to notice since he sat closer to Xavier , he wanted to see the picture on his boss phone, seeing how her husband wants to change the topic Judith threw him a deadly glare this few months have been very hard for her even with his support she couldn't help but think about Clara who carried her pregnancy without her husband by her side and even watch him care for another woman .

Since she got married she began understanding Clara's feelings , which woman won't go mad seeing her husband with another woman, and this man was not even looking for her, she was really disappointed at Xavier and this Tony all what he does is follow Xavier around, her baby started crying drawing her attention to his bed she gently picked him up not knowing that her every action was being watched.

Xavier tried hard to swallow the huge lump in his throat, as he watched Tony without being asked, quickly placed a pillow behind her so that she would rest her back comfortably while feeding their baby.

' I was not even by her side to do all this.' Xavier thought to himself as he watched the couple with interest.

" Boss, whose child is that on your phone?" On hearing his assistant question , Xavier's lips pulled up into a smirk.

" There are actually three of them , two boys and a girl. '' He quickly opened his phone and went straight to his gallery that previously contained only Clara's pictures he took from the CCTV footage and now the kid's have been added.

" Boss don't tell me that they are triplets!" Tony said in disbelief when he saw that they are all three to four years.

" Exactly and very cute and adorable, the girl was the first to call me daddy. "Xavier who was never the type to talk too much, suddenly went out of control as he proceed to tell them how they met and how he forced them to take pictures with him,he even went to the extent of telling them who their mother was not realizing that the people he was talking to have stopped viewing the pictures and are now studying him.

Tony and his wife just watched him talk with different thoughts running in their minds.

{Tony}

' I've never seen my boss like this, when did he start loving kids? '

{Judith}

' he is even smiling, when he couldn't even protect his family, '

" Can I have a look? " Judith took the phone from him, on seeing the pictures she looked at Xavier and looked at the picture, she repeated this motion again and again , why do I feel like these boys look like bosses?,do you have other children outside?" She glaring at him, before her attention was drawn to something,no, someone else .

" What is this boss?Why didn't you just tell us you saw them? " "She asked in disbelief, pointing at the pictures.

" What are you talking about? " The two men asked simultaneously.

" Don't play dumb with me Xavier! Tell me!, were you planning to make it a surprise for us? '' She didn't notice that the person she was talking to was equally as dumbfounded as she was.

" Let me take a look, " Mo Han said, collecting his phone from her .

He went through the pictures again, when they were taken he didn't notice anything abnormal with any of the pictures he just doesn't know why Judith was overreacting , what's she playing with? He stared at the pictures again but this time both him and Tony paid more attention to every little detail until they finally found what they were looking for, even though she was standing far from them it was still obvious because that face didn't change and that smile.

" Boss, I think she looks like madam!" Tony said pointing at the person behind Xavier, standing close to the cashier, Clara was smiling brightly at someone as she turned to look at were that woman was pointing her face was captured in the picture they were other people there which explains why Xavier didn't pay attention to the pictures background , thank goodness he haven't deleted any of it.

She was in that shopping mall,yet they didn't meet. If he had paid attention to this picture back then maybe he would have come back with them.

" I will be leaving now! " he ran out without giving them a chance to reply.

" Babe , is it just me or did you also notice those boys look exactly like the boss ?"Judith asks but she sounds unsure .

" Yah, I also did , but it may not be what we are thinking, can you take care of yourself the boss may need my help with something,".

" Okay "

" That my girl, take care of yourself,son take care of momma, wifey take care of yourself okay , I love you two. " he said, giving them a peck on the cheek before he ran out.

**"*

At the garage, Xavier was about to opening his car when a little voice called him,

" Ice cube face! "

He stopped . He once heard those words somewhere before. He looked back and was surprised to see little treasure leaning on a car lazily with a lazy smile on, his short legs crossed and a hand in his pants pocket.

Xavier raised his eyebrows in a questioning way as he slowly walked to him.``rascal we meet again what are doing here all alone? and where is the other rascal and my princess? "

" One question at a time old man! I'm not alone. My aunt and siblings are in the car. We came for a check up and Mom has yet to step out,so we are waiting for her. "

little treasure went straight to the point since he was never the type that talked too much unlike his sister.

" Daddy!!! "Little bunny yelled from the car window immediately she saw who her brother was talking to.

making Lola whine down her window to see who she called father.

" Ah!, bad stranger, did you follow us here?, I will call the police, " little cupcake threatened bring out his phone this man said he will kidnap his sister if they don't take pictures with him now he followed them here even after the pictures were taken , this can't possibly be a coincident right?.

Before he knows what going on his sister is already in that man' s arms .

"Little bunny!, do you go about hugging everyone you come across with? "Little cupcake asks, stomping his short leg on the floor.

Xavier was really happy to see these three again but the same couldn't be said with the kids .

" Drop my sister, if you think you can kidnap us , you better have a rethink because my Aunt is right here and my mom is inside. "Little cupcake only saw him as a corrupt adult.

" Really let me kidnap your aunt also so that no one will tell your mom then " Xavier doesn't think he would ever get fed up pulling this kids legs, what he said was a joke only him finds funny because like a flash the two little guy were already at the car door with their arms wide open,in a futile attempt to stop him.

" You dare!... " Little cupcake has never come across anyone this shameless.

Ignoring the kids Xavier carried little bunny to the car , he knocked on the car window but no response, the kids clearly said someone was in here,

he tried again but this time the door opened and someone fell out, Lola have been trying to catch her breath, since she saw that face different memory started flooding her mind,

" Big Mom! "

Immediately he dropped the little bunny and tried to assist her, he picked her up and ran towards the hospital. Thank God they are in a hospital.Three kids followed behind with their short legs.

Clara was stepping out of the doctor's office when she bumped into someone she was about to fall because of the pencil heels she's wearing but a strong arm caught hold of her.

" Thanks"

" Sorry " they both said at a time bowing.

" I should apologize ma'am I was in a hurry and didn't...." Tony couldn't complete his statement on seeing the person he had been looking for all these years standing in front of him.

Clara was equally shocked." Tony?" She asked to be sure it wasn't mistaken.

" Ma…..madam! " Tony couldn't contain his feelings,he robbed his eyes again and again to be sure. They were still surprised to see each in such a place when they heard a familiar voice.

" Call the doctor! , will you! " On hearing that voice her heart skipped a beat as she prayed for the ground to open and cover her up. She wanted to hide from him but when she saw the figure laying in his arms, her face turned pale , what happened to her? .

Behind him her kids were crying non-stop.

" Sister!What happened to her? Call the doctor, someone please get the doctor! "

With the help of a nurse they took her to a ward and laid her down on the bed. When the doctor arrived she had already lost consciousness, so he asked them to step out, which they reluctantly did.

Clara was still confused when her three crying babies came to hug her thighs.

She hugged them as the four of them became a crying mess, meanwhile Xavier and Tony just stood there watching the dramatic scene .

< how did she give birth to three monkeys, is my boss still safe? > Tony thought to himself already feeling sorry for Xavier.

Without knowing Xavier subconsciously took step after step towards his family, it took him four good years to pay for his sins, see what he missed his beautiful wife and children, will she ever want him back again, will the kids even accept him ?.

" Clara, " for the first time he called her name just the way she always wished he would.
