Chapter 421 – A Boy Or A Girl

  Kal was running around and throwing petals of flowers. They didn’t mind that he was making a mess because later, they will let him clean it up. He shouted Connor’s name suddenly. They all stopped from arranging a few things and turned to him. He clapped his hands and rushed toward the sofa. 

“Well, Johanna used to call me that a lot. I think he recalled it somehow.” Connor shrugged and kissed Quinn’s head while he was busy arranging the plates. He put Quinn on the baby harness carrier. 

“Connor!” Kal said again as he reached the remote and curiously pressed the volume up. “Ay!” He shouted as Alicia quickly approached him and taught him about the volumes. Kal turned down the volume and giggled at Alicia. 

“He’s flirtatious,” Leon said who just arrived with tons of grocery bags. “Hey, Kal. Stop flirting with my girl.” 

  Kal started talking to Alicia and there were only a few clear words that Alicia understood. Most of them were foodie, food, Mama, Mimi, Dada, and Kin-kin. It was somehow adorable as Alicia spoke to him further and the two even cuddled while others were busy preparing for their small party. Leon came back to see his girlfriend and Kal cuddling and laughing. 

  He sneered and rushed to them. 

“Hey, Kal. Why won’t you find a girlfriend for yourself and stop flirting with mine?” 

“Ha?” He asked. 

“Stop flirting.” 

“Flir-ring?” He asked. 

“Leon, no.” Alicia pushed Leon’s face. “Don’t tease him.” 

“Foodie?” Kal stood and raised his arms to Leon. “Foodie, Un-cle.” 

“Fine,” Leon reached him and carried him to the kitchen. Kal became clingy toward Leon as he wrapped his arms around Leon’s neck. Then, he showed all of the sweet and attractive foods just for Kal in the fridge. “Pick one.” 

“One?” He asked. 

“Yes, just one.” 

“Ay,” he pouted. “Tee.” He pointed three fingers. “I want tee.” 

“It’s three,” Leon said clearly. 

“Three!” 

“Fine.” 

  Kal giggled and picked the foods that he wanted. He was instantly happy. 

“We are currently busy. So, why won’t you clean up the mess so no one would slip on the petals?” He told him. Kal nodded his head and rushed to his bag as he put his snack there. He wore his fluffy backpack and he took a mini broom just right for his size and a dustpan. Then, he started sweeping the floor. Leon even put a dust bin nearby. 

“That’s a good boy.” Alessandro patted Kal’s head as his phone rang and he quickly answered. “Yes, dad!” He walked toward the sliding door. 

  Kal finished cleaning up but he dragged the broom and dustpan around. He looked around checking if there were a few things that he needed to clean. When there’s none, he put it aside and went to the sofa where Quinn was currently leaning over Keira. He took out his food and gave it to Keira. 

“Open, pease…” 

“Here,” Alessandro sat beside Kal and opened it for him since Keira was already holding Quinn. 

“Food!” Connor exclaimed as he came with Quinn’s first food. 

“Wow!” Kal clapped his hands. He started eating the snacks that Leon bought for him and watched Connor feed Quinn who quickly opened her mouth and sucked the spoon. Quinn quickly made that adorable expression, with wide eyes as she opened her mouth again. 

“She likes it.” Alessandro admired the beautiful Quinn. 

“Glad that you love it, my Princess.” Connor fed her another until Quinn finished all of it. 

“Bun!” Kal exclaimed when he saw Leon with steamed buns. “Buns!” He quickly jumped off from his seat. 

“Go and wash your hands,” Alessandro told him and he rushed to his very own sink. 

  Terrence turned on the speakers and played very nice danceable songs. Quinn even wiggles her arm and opens her mouth waiting for the food. Connor couldn’t help but feed her again. 

“She’s adorable.” Keira sniffled as Connor and Alessandro looked at Keira who was crying. Sandro quickly stood and walked around as he comforted Keira. Sandro reached the tissue and wiped Keira’s face. 

“Next time, carrots. I will boil carrots for you.” Connor pointed at Quinn’s nose. Kal came back and showed his hands to Leon. Then, Leon finally gave him a bun.

  Maxine was wearing a baby blue mixed with pink polka dots. It shows off her round tummy. She smiled at her husband who grinned at her. He knelt one knee in front of her. He then kissed her round tummy and whispered on it. 

“We are here!” Someone shouted and they all looked at the door. Karmina rushed to Kal and gave him a lot of kisses. Then, she also paid attention to Quinn as her eyes looked childish toward Quinn. She even kissed Quinn’s thigh. 

“Mom,” Keira pouted. 

“Hi, Princess. I’m sorry that I pay attention to the babies instead of you. Why are you crying?” 

  Keira cried a little loud.

“It’s just~~Quinn is so cute. I can’t resist it.” She cried. 

  Karmina looked at Alessandro who shrugged. Then, she hugged her daughter and kissed her temple. 

“Kal!” Ace showed up with a lot of bags. 

“Kaka!” Kal put his bun bag on the plate and rushed to Ace to hug him too. 

  Leon crossed his arms, tilted his head, and watched as Ace and Kal hugged each other in harmony. How come those two were close to each other? Kal isn’t bullying Ace and they looked like brothers. 

“Mimi?” Kal asked him. 

“Well, your mom is sick and she went directly to her bed. You are sleeping with me.” 

“Kin-kin. Sleep.” He said. 

  Maxine smiled at Kal and Ace then Henry approached them. 

“Congratulations.” Henry hugged Maxine and then Terrence. “Karmina bought a lot of gifts and food, so we will stay up all night.” 

“Thank you, Henry.” Terrence nodded his head. 

“So, who holds the card?” He asked and looked around. 

“I do.” Leon raised his hand. “It’s on the cake just as they requested.” He grinned. “Let’s start the party.” 

  Maxine got so excited that she squeezed her husband’s arm. 

“I need to go to the bathroom first.” She told him. Terrence holds her hand and leads her to the bathroom. “You don’t have to follow me around.” She said. 

“Why not? I kept missing you.” He opened the door of the bathroom for her and he made sure that the floor wasn’t wet. He waited outside. Shortly, Maxine came out and held her tummy. “Are you alright?” He asked. 

“Hmm, I’m excited. I’m also excited to open gifts for our baby.” 

“That’s great.” He kissed her forehead. “So, our baby is due in a few weeks. Are you sure that you want to give birth here?” 

“Yeah,” She nodded her head. “It will be safer that way.” 

“What if something bad happened to you?” Terrence asked. 

“The Doctor said that I can take it. There’s nothing wrong with my body or any complications.” 

“Okay,” They went back to the party as Henry and Kal are dancing. 

  Everyone is just having fun. 

“Babe,” Leon called out to Alicia as Alicia stopped filming and turned to her. “Violet is sick. I should check on her.” 

“Yeah, go ahead,” Alicia said. 

  Maxine knew well that Leon was in love with Violet but it was the past. Alicia seemed to be okay with it. Leon left and it only took five minutes when he came back with Violet. Violet was wearing a face mask not to give everyone any viruses and she tried to avoid Kal. She had a crush on Violet. She’s just the best mom. The best friend and she’s just the best person she knows. 

“I’ll boil a ginger for you.” Alicia was too sweet for Violet. 

“Thank you, dear.” Violet coughed a little and she moved to the corner to watch everyone have fun. 

“Well, you can’t go near Violet yet. But it wasn’t a virus. She just overwork her body.” Terrence told her. 

“She can’t enjoy the party.” Maxine pouted. 

“Mimi!” Kal shouted as Violet waved. He started saying inaudible words that Violet didn’t even understand. “Mimi,” He called. 

“Just stay there, love,” Violet told him. 

  The party started with a few games and chatting. They laughed most at Kal, Leon, and Ace’s dance show. The trio had a lot of fun as Connor and Alessandro joined with Quinn on Connor’s chest with a harness carrier. Quinn seemed to be enjoying everything around her but she needs to go back to her grandmother. 

“Party!” Harvey shouted as he lifted his baby. MJ frowned at Harvey when he lifted Dione. Since they just arrived, the couple dug on the food while Dione went to Keira’s arms. 

“Oh, she’s so cute.” Keira started crying while admiring Dione. Sandro had to stop having fun with Kal and approached her to comfort her. 

“Hey, why are you crying again?” He asked. “I am surprised that Dione didn’t cry because of your expression.” 

“I’m sorry.” Keira sniffled. “She’s just so adorable. I can’t help it.” 

“You are weird love. But you are adorable too.” He took the tissue and wiped her tears. “Here,” He covered her nose as she blew it. 

“I don’t want to let her go.” 

“Babe,” he laughed. 

“Time to reveal!” They shouted. 

  They all turned around as Terrence and Maxine pulled the pinata. It showered with pink and blue and finally, the balloons popped as a pink baby dress hung. They all clapped. 

“I am disappointed that it wasn’t a boy. But I am happy for you guys!” Leon said. 

“How can you be disappointed?” Connor asked and wiped Quinn’s mouth. 

“Because if it’s a boy, I will tell him to bully Kal.” 

  Karmina tilted her head and gestured to him to explain.
