Shadow and Light : Unveiling Destiny

Striving for family harmony part 2

During the weekend, Abigail, Isabella, and Raphael were overjoyed because Scarlett had told them that there would be no work, and they would all spend quality time together.

Abigail and Scarlett were sitting in the drawing room, while the children happily played with their toys.

Abigail nestled her head on Scarlett's chest and closed her eyes.

Scarlett playfully remarked,

"Princess Aurora, how can you sleep when your prince is right here?"

Abigail chuckled and replied,

"Your little one in my tummy is making me feel lazy."

Scarlett tenderly grasped Abigail's hand, kissed it, and intertwined their fingers.

She teased,

"Sometimes, I think your hands are smaller as Bella's."

Abigail laughed and protested,

"Scarlett! My hands are not small."

Scarlett continued teasing,

"Well, maybe not small, but definitely a little bigger than Bella's."

Abigail planted a kiss on Scarlett's cheek and asked,

"Babe, do you want a baby boy or a baby girl?"

Scarlett rested her hand on Abigail's baby bump and responded,

"Honestly, Abby, I've never really thought about it. I just want our baby to be healthy and safe."

Abigail pouted playfully and said,

"Scarlett, that means you haven't even thought about names for our baby."

Scarlett kissed Abigail's pouting lips multiple times and quipped,

"I was thinking we could name our baby 'Sleepy Panda,' since you've been sleeping a lot."

Abigail laughed, not wanting this precious moment to end, as she missed Scarlett dearly and cherished the time they were spending together.

Scarlett's phone rang, and it appeared to be an important call.

She excused herself from the room and went to answer it.

When she returned, she was dressed differently, and Abigail inquired,

"Is everything alright? Are you going somewhere?"

Scarlett replied with a hint of regret,

"I'm sorry, my love. I received a call from an investor. It's really important for the business, but don't worry, I'll be back in 3 to 4 hours."

Before Abigail could respond, Bella rushed toward Scarlett, and Scarlett scooped her up in her arms.

Bella asked with an innocent tone,

"Daddy, you promised you'd play with me, but you're leaving."

Scarlett kissed her daughter's forehead and assured her,

"Baby, Daddy will be back in a few hours, and then we can play, I promise."

Bella extended her Pinky finger and asked,

"Promise, Daddy?"

Scarlett linked her Pinky finger with Bella's and said with all her sincerity,

"Promise, princess."

Scarlett then kissed Bella's hand before gently setting her down.

Abigail pointed to her baby bump and gently reminded Scarlett,

"Scarlett, don't forget you have a little panda in there too."

Scarlett lovingly approached Abigail, leaning down to kiss the baby bump and placing her hand on it, gently rubbing it.

She said with affection,

"Baby, Daddy will be back soon, so please don't give Mommy a hard time."

After kissing Abigail's lips, Scarlett tried to pull back, but Abigail held onto the collar of her shirt and whispered,

"I love you, Scarlett."

Scarlett's eyes widened with surprise.

It had been first time after more than five years since Abby said those words.

She hugged Abigail tightly and replied,

"Your timing is a bit off, but I love you even more, wifey."

As Scarlett made her way toward the main door, Raphael suddenly ran up to her, his little voice filled with determination.

He said,

"Daddy, wait."

Scarlett knelt down to his level and asked,

"What's going on, son?"

Raphael explained,

"Daddy, I want to come with you. I want to work with you so we can finish quickly, and then you can play with us."

A warm smile graced Scarlett's face as she kissed him on the forehead and replied,

"I know, my baby boy will make me proud one day. Alright, I'll give you a special task. Your job is to take care of our girls while Daddy's away."

Raphael nodded enthusiastically and promised,

"Okay, Daddy, I promise I'll take care of Mommy and Bella."

Scarlett patted his head affectionately and said,

"That's my boy."

With that, she headed toward the door.
