The Law of Attraction

Kenzie frowned as she read Cris' message. 

[Kenzie sorry about leaving so suddenly. I had an emergency. And please don't worry about me, I am fine. I will be back tomorrow and explain everything to you.]

"What just happened?" She mumbled, still a little worried.

She typed her reply.

[Alright. Please know that I'm just a call away in case you are in need of anything Cris.]

Cris sniffed as she typed her reply.

[Yes ma'am. Thank you.]

Brix had already left because she asked him to. She needed some time alone. She was confused about how to proceed further. She felt like her world just crumbled at the thought of Brix deceiving her.

Meanwhile, back at the office, Kenzie quickly finished all her pending work so she could leave early with Daryl to buy presents for Liam, Lana, and their newly born baby.

They stopped by the mall on the way to the hospital where Kenzie chose to buy matching pairs of comfortable pajamas for Lana, Liam, and their baby. It looked so cute especially with the customized print of their names like Daddy Liam, Mommy Lana, and Baby Lanabelle. She also added more sets that said, proud to be a daddy, mommy, and their baby girl.

"Okay, let's go…" Kenzie commented.

"Wait. I asked for another pair of pajamas for father," Daryl said.

"Huh?"

Daryl scratched his head and with a bashful smile said, "I hope he'll like it too."

Kenzie's eyes blinked at the sleepwear the saleslady brought.

"What do you think?" Daryl asked excitedly. Kenzie suppressed her laughter and nodded to her husband along with a thumbs-up sign. She couldn't wait for her father to see it and witness his epic reaction.

She immediately pulled Daryl back to their car so they could get to the hospital.

They decided to first visit the new parents Liam and Lana. The baby was in Lana's room, sleeping peacefully beside her.

"Awww she's too cute," Kenzie whispered, as she did not want to wake the baby girl.

Lana mouthed her a thank you with a wonderful smile since she was afraid to wake her baby up too. Kenzie nodded her head and soon joined Daryl and Liam at the couch. The couch was at a safe distance from Lana's bed so they could talk with a moderate voice.

"How is your father?" Liam asked Kenzie.

"He can't remember recent memories such as things about Daryl. But apart from that, everything is normal and good. He's recovering well," Kenzie commented.

"That's good to hear." Liam answered before he looked at Daryl and teased him, "Jorge will be next so you must follow us soon."

"Ahh you don't know how hard I've been working on it," Daryl answered with a pout, making Liam laugh.

"Ohh I understand now, no wonder you're not reporting to the office. You are doing your work from Sy Law Firm in Kenzie's office instead," Liam mumbled, making Kenzie blush in embarrassment.

They had a casual conversation after which Daryl and Liam discussed a few things regarding the Sy Law firm while Kenzie sat beside Lana when the baby was finally awake.

"How was it, giving birth?" Kenzie asked with curiosity.

"Hmm, painful and hard but everything is worth it," Lana answered as she looked lovingly at her daughter.

"I can't wait to experience it then. I bet it's a memorable and wonderful experience," Kenzie seconded and Lana nodded assuringly.

Soon Kenzie and Daryl bid farewell to Liam and Lana and left their room hand in hand.

"By the way, father-in-law had called. He said that our room is now ready and we can move in anytime," Kenzie said. She wanted to say something more which the medical staff assigned to her father-in-law reported but didn't. Kenzie decided to tell Daryl about it once they were back home.

They walked towards her father's room that was on the upper floor.

"When do you want us to move then?," Daryl asked.

"Hmm, I'm ready anytime. Cha mansion is nearer to both the hospital and my office so I have no problem in moving as soon as possible." Kenzie commented.

"Alright then let's do it in two days' time," Daryl said and Kenzie agreed.

They arrived in Senior Chua's room and Kenzi excitedly pushed Daryl towards her father, signaling him to give his present.

"How was your day, father?" Daryl asked as he sat on the chair beside him. 

"What's that?" Jack asked, noticing the paper bag on Daryl's lap.

"Oh, it's for you father. I thought of giving you something while buying presents for my friends who just had their first baby in this hospital."

Daryl slowly handed the paper bag to him and squirmed in his seat nervously. Jack curiously opened it and took out what was inside. He gulped seeing the words printed on the pajama shirt.

"Can't wait to be a grandpa…" he whispered, totally caught off guard.

Kenzie chuckled and said, "Is Daryl right, dad? I'm still not pregnant yet but we will check in a few more weeks to see if Daryl and I are successful. You should cheer for us so that Daryl can soon buy you another pair of pajamas that says 'Proud to be a Grandpa' instead."

Daryl quickly took out his mobile phone and showed the picture of Liam's daughter to his father-in-law shamelessly saying, "What do you think father? Do you prefer a baby girl this cute or a baby boy?"

Kenzie tried her best to suppress from laughing out loud while watching Daryl try his best to get close to her father and win his favor using the 'being a grandpa' technique. She had a wide smile though, seeing the efforts of her husband.

She looked at her father who was quiet, seemingly giving in a little to her adorable husband.

"What do you think father? I'm sure our future babies will look this cute and adorable. You should be the one to name them once we succeed in making babies," Daryl said excitedly.

Kenzie chuckled and teased her father, "Ahh dad seems to be having a hard time darling. I'm sure it doesn't matter what gender our first baby will be as long as we give him a grandchild soon. Don't you agree dad?"

"You two should stop talking and put your words to action instead. Less talk and more action," Jack scoffed, making Kenzie burst in a fit of laughter.
