Leap OF Fate novel Chapter 70

Time flew quickly. In just a wink, Serene had celebrated the twin’s second Birthday. Unlike their first where her parents and the Lewis’s flew over to celebrate, this time she wanted to have a simple celebration with just the three of them.

She opted to take the children to the zoo. Her toddlers enjoyed the trip. Each animal fascinated them. Since they’ve just been learning about animal sounds, they imitated the roars and hisses of the animals they saw. At the end of the trip, Serene pushed the cart of her babies as they soundly slept.

Life had been good to her since she left Coast City. She started her career in art and thankfully, her pieces got sold and she later on afforded to open her own gallery. She gained some popularity and had quite a following. In the art world, she’s known as Felicity Pax — her children’s name.

Business back home had also flourished. With the help of Al, they could venture into canning business, allowing their fishing business to have a stable partner. The fishing business had also ventured internationally, supplying top of the line seafood to restaurants.

Her friend Mary’s business likewise grew. From swimwear, she launched lingerie, and now poised to hop into haute couture. It’s just sad that Mary still pursued her initial plan to break up with Dylan in order to protect her and the twins, despite her opposition.

Each season, Mary would feature her paintings as exclusive prints for her collections. They fed in each other’s popularity.

Mary had been urging her to return to Hyacinth Bay to put up a gallery. However, she’s hesitant because Justin could find out about the twins. Mary said that the last place Justin would look for her was his own backyard.

Arriving at the flat, Serene placed the twins in the middle of the bed. They looked so peaceful in their sleep. Their chubby cheeks rosy, and their long curly lashes looked like tiny fans on their faces. The more she looked at them, the more she saw Justin in them.

Felicity is Justin’s feminine version except for her eyes, which she got from her. As for Pax, he’s Justin’s replica. Even his demeanor was his. She stroked her children’s hair and planted a kiss on their forehead.

Looking at them, she still could not believe how much they’ve grown. She gave birth to them pre-maturely because of the complications of her pregnancy. At 33 weeks of her gestation, her doctor advised her to stop injecting blood thinners for her not to suffer hemorrhage when she gives birth. However, a week after stopping the medication, her water bag broke, and she delivered them through normal delivery.

Because they were just 34 weeks when they were born, they stayed in the NICU for more than a week. They were so tiny. It scared her to hold them because she felt she might break them. Now, they’ve grown up and no one could tell they were preemies.

A smile broke on her lips at the sight of her children. Three years ago, she left Coast City with a broken heart. She wanted to forget Justin and focus on her children. But each day she spent with them, the more she’s reminded of him.
