Romeo was excited. This is a good sign. This misery was going to end soon.
"Of course. You remember that? My gosh. That's amazing. Please keep remembering. And maybe yes, since you stopped swallowing those medicines, it's helping you" Romeo responded.
At this time, Lucas was done with a minor surgery. After every diagnosis and examination done, they arrived at Varicocele.
It was discovered that there was swelling in the testicles. Alice was excited when the final result of the diagnosis was discovered to be it.
"It's treatable honey" she said and kissed Lucas before her colleague. Lucas intertwined his fingers with hers and said "Thank you for everything" he said, feeling very excited.
With Lucas permission, Alice booked for the surgery the next day and it was done. It didn't take quite long and it was over.
Lucas only relaxed for a while and Alice drove him home. She said he could wear loose pants until the wound heals up. She took care of him and said "You will eat meals with a certain percentage of zinc from today.
I will monitor your meal and ensure it's rich. It must contain the right proportion of the needed amount of nutrients to help hasten the healing…" Alice chimed.
Lucas held her hand and pulled her to himself. He glared into her eyes and kissed her. He doesn't know just how to appreciate her.
And this whole thing made them a little distant from Pamela. But the latter understand. In every new and young relationship, attention and time is needed to nurture it to grow.
Her grandma is with her. Alyana, and her paternal family are now in close contact with her. She's surrounded by those who love her.
And Emma had become a different person. She now loves Pamela. Going to jail had changed her reasoning and knowing that Louis got her out of jail was something she would forever appreciate.
Two days later, Alice told Lucas "You're better off now. You can walk better than before. And once you have fully recovered we'll give it a try.
I'm watching your diet intently. I will be in my period from tomorrow. Then we'll start counting two weeks. Then we'll make love on the peak of my ovulation and see. What do you think of my suggestion"
"That would be alright. I'm very okay with it. I just hope it works" Lucas agreed.
"I will, I have full confidence that it will work" Alice assured him.
At Dawn, Pamela went into a painful labour. Grandma Clarion got the chauffeur and drove her to the hospital.
This is the first time she'd really gone into labour. The first time, the baby was delivered through a caesarian section at seven months due to complications.
But this time, she didn't anticipate it to be so severe. The intermittent pain is making her scream.
"Grandma, I want a C- section. I can't take it" Pamela pleaded. Clarion immediately requested for an operation to be done.
"I will ask the doctor to have your fallopian tubes tied. That way, you won't be pregnant unless you have it untied" Clarion informed and Pamela nodded before being wheeled into the theatre.
Lucas woke up. He tapped Alice by his side. This uneasiness is coming over him again. They knew Pamela was due for delivery any moment soon. Could she be in pain already?
Alice woke up groggily. She needs to be in the hospital that morning. "Are you awake dear?" Lucas asked.
Yawning, she rose herself to sit up and said "yeah, I'm awake" she answered in a sleepy voice.
"I don't feel okay. I feel uneasy. Can Pamela be in delivery now?" Lucas asked and Alice snapped her eyes open sharply.
She took her phone and called Pamela's contact "How are you Alice?" Clarion asked.
"Good morning Queen Clarion. How's Pamela?" She asked immediately. Pamela was due any moment. And since Lucas felt so uneasy, something might truly be happening.
"She's in the surgery…"Carrion was saying when Alice chimed "we're on our way queen Clarion. Lucas and I will be there" she declared and hung up.
"Pamela is having her baby now" Alice chimed, jumping out of bed. "You should have been her twin,my love. So much connection between you two" She mumbled and got a towel dashing into the bathroom.
Lucas smiled. It only takes a sweet lover like Alice not to feel Jealous. She's such an amazing woman to be with. Maybe he would consider getting married to her.
An hour later, Lucas drove Alice to the hospital. Quickly they got in and saw Clarion and Alyana waiting by the theatre.
"Hello grand Aunt," Lucas said, going over and kissing Clarion on both sides of her chin. She was happy and excited and she hugged Alice.
"The baby is in the nursery. He's so cute and adorable" Clarion chimed. She was so excited and her happiness was contagious.
"Congratulations queen Clarion" Alice chimed. Lucas' smile was broad as he stared at the closed door of the theatre.
"Congratulations to all of us who have been waiting for this day," Clarion said.
Pamela was transferred from the theatre to the ward. Soon she was allowed to see other guests. Her baby was in her hand as she glared into the face of the little boy.
She sat up with difficulty and had her back supported with a pillow. She raised the baby to her face and kissed him. Her baby, how loving the baby is.
Clarion walked in along with Lucas and Alice. They all congratulated her. She smiled broadly seeing her friends.
"Have you thought of a name for him?" Clarion asked and Pamela nodded.
"Ethan, that's what he'll be called" Pamela announced. Everyone smiled and applauded her.
"Come here, my little Ethan" Clarion chimed and took the baby from Pamela. She kissed him and said "Ethan means Enduring and strong, right!" Clarion asked.
"Yes. These periods of his pregnancy were really an enduring one for me" Pamela explained.
"And you came out strong," Lucas added. Pamela nodded. Seeing the baby now, she's glad that she didn't opt for an abortion. She wouldn't have been carrying him now.
"Thank you Lucas. You are the reason why I didn't have an abortion then. Seeing Ethan now, I'm glad that you advised me against it" Pamela appreciated.
"I'm glad that you gave our little Ethan this chance to be alive. Our joy is complete now" Lucas chimed.
"How about telling Romeo that Ethan has arrived," Pamela suggested.
