The Universe Conspired For Us To Meet - Chapter 208
“Munchkin! Pumpkin! Where are you two hiding? Since you two broke that antique vase, mommy is upset. Come out! You two! If you don’t come, elder sister will not speak to you two.” Millie was now a five-year old.
“Millieee! It’s not me! Pumpkin was the one who dropped it.” Munchkin was the first to pop out her face from the curtains.
“Come over her Munchkin… ” Millieee gestured with folded arms.
Munchkin obeyed and slowly made her way out. “Tell me, where’s Pumpkin and I’ll let you go.” Millie demanded.
“Millie, brother is hiding in the bathroom.” She giggled.
Millie dashed towards the bathroom. Pumpkin had already created a mess in the bathroom as well. He had emptied the contents of an entire shower gel into the bathtub and was busy playing with the bubbles.
“Oh my God! Pumpkin!” Millie screamed while Munchkin continued to giggle.
Unable to bear with their rantings, Mrs Caroline Roy and Mrs Sona Bhat came over. “What are you guys upto now?” They were used to Pumpkin’s naughtiness.
They peeked into the bathroom and looked at Pumpkin’s mess. They couldn’t help but laugh it off.
——-
Two year after Millie came in, Jayne was pregnant with twins. By then, Jayne had completed her Master’s at the university. So, she was now totally free to embrace the journey of her pregnancy. She took a break from working at the company, though she still looked into all the important matters.
As Dr Henry Thomas had advised, Jayne and Ronnie underwent all the tests. Upon examining the results, it was discovered that the twins were normal babies. They weren’t even carriers of Thalassemia. The fifty percent chances of Jayne having a perfectly normal baby came true. What more! It was twins! A boy and a girl!
The truth of Millie being an adopted child was perfectly under wraps. She had come in at a time when Jayne needed her the most. So, Millie was their first daughter followed by Pumpkin, the elder brother and Munchkin, the youngest sister.
No matter how much of a mess the kids created, none of them had the heart to screw the little bundles of joy. They were spoilt and pampered to no end. Out of the three, Pumpkin being an only son, was the most popular and naughtiest of all. He was the apple of his mother’s eyes. Though she would scold him for all the mess he’d created, she loved him endlessly.
“Even Jayne was like this when she was a child. No wonder even he’s her son.” Mrs Sona Bhat told Mrs Caroline Roy as she shook her head helplessly.
They then brought Pumpkin out and changed him into a new set of clothes. “Auntie Sanvi is coming over with brother Poodles. Go check! They must be here!” Mrs Caroline Roy suggested.
“Little Pumpkin! Where are you?” They heard another squishy voice from downstairs.
“Lo! That little brat is here!” Mrs Sona Bhat announced.
“Coming Brother Poodles!” Pumpkin dashed out leaving both his grandmothers hanging.
Millie and Munchkins followed Pumpkin. Before heading downstairs, Munchkin made sure her hair and dress were neat. She smoothed down her skirt and left with a big smile on her face.
Both her grandma’s were left speechless by her.
“No wonder she’s Ronnie’s daughter.” Now it was Mrs Caroline Roy who shook her head helplessly.
Sanvi came over with her son Poodles. Poodles slid down Sanvi’s arms and darted towards Jayne. He comfortably settled down in her ŀȧp and kissed her, “Auntie Jayne, where is Little Pumpkin?”
“Your Little Pumpkin must’ve created some mess upstairs. Both the grandma’s have gone to check on him.” She laughed. “You can try calling him! I know, though it’s Pumpkin you are calling, you actually want Munchkin to come out. So, you are all wooing up to me as well.” She winked and tickled him.
He giggled and blushed. “Auntie Jayne, I’ll call Little Pumpkin.” He slipped from her arms and began heading upstairs calling Pumpkin.
Sanvi and Jayne were left laughing.
Millie, Poodles, Pumpkin and Munchkin were all playing now with their grandpas. Poodles kept gazing at Munchkin who also stole glances at him. She blushed furiously.
Ronnie and Virat came over soon after that. They both had collaborated on a couple of projects now. So, they were working together.
Virat loved Millie the most. “Uncle Virat!” She ran into his arms. They instantly began playing. Sanvi got up to bring something to eat for Virat and Ronnie.
Munchkin followed and ran into her daddy’s arms. Millie and Munchkin were daddy’s girls. Ronnie picked up Munchkin and kissed her. “Daddy, brother pumpkin did so much today…” she went on ranting complaints to him while Pumpkin was playing with Poodles without a care in the world.
Ronnie then walked up to Jayne letting Munchkin to play. “So, wifey, do you still remember me?” He playfully sneaked a kiss as well.
“Even if we get more kids, I’ll still remain the same! The same Ronnie who sneaked a kiss from you in the woods.” He kissed her head.
Thinking of how they met and their first kiss, Jayne blushed a bright crimson. “Ron!” She smacked his arms.
They looked at the entire mansion with peace. “I thank the universe every single day for conspiring us to meet.” Jayne hugged his waist.
“Oh yes wifey!” He smiled with utmost contentment…
Too much of happiness was around the house. The children’s playful laughter along with the ȧduŀts warmed up an old, serene looking old lady who was witnessing everything from above. Her heart filled with contentment now. She blessed them all.
