"She's two years old," Anna replied, feeding her daughter and occasionally stealing time to eat her food. Sarah who saw the scene could only smile. She had also been in that position.
"You have to eat, I can feed her," Steve said softly and then touched Anna's hand that was holding the spoon.
Anna looked at Steve for a moment then immediately let go of her daughter's spoon and continued to eat what was left of her food, while Steve had already finished eating because he was used to eating fast.
"Mommy! The baby is eating!" said Raphael, pointing at the little boy in Steve's arms.
"Yeah, Raphael too, let's finish the food," said Sarah who had also finished eating.
Gabriel also seemed interested in the baby, but he didn't have time to ask because his mouth was busy eating his food.
"Oh yeah, what's her name?" asked Sarah curiously.
"Her name is Sienna. Sienna Brown," Steve replied with a smile and sounding proud.
"Steve Anna?" Sarah asked when she heard the name. Even though both of their names didn't have the letter i, Sarah could see that was the meaning of Steve's daughter's name.
"As expected! You are really my friend! I really get annoyed when people think that the name is inspired by Siena, the city of Italy. She uses two n's like her mother's name, not just one n!" Steve said excitedly and looked a little annoyed when he remembered that people had guessed the meaning of his daughter's name wrong.
Sarah just snorted at Steve's response. Actually, if she didn't know Steve's character, Sarah would also think that it was inspired by the city of Italy, but she knew Steve enough to know what his daughter's name meant.
"Mommy, can I play with the baby?" asked Gabriel, who had finished his meal.
Sarah was a little surprised to hear that. She had no idea her son would be so interested in Steve's daughter.
"You should ask uncle and aunty if you can do it," Sarah replied.
Gabriel then immediately followed his Mommy's suggestion, and approached the child who was still eating when he was allowed to.
"Gabriel, if you want to touch the baby, touch it gently!" Sarah warned.
She still remembered that a few days ago her son punched his brother. What if he accidentally grabbed Sienna too tightly?
Seeing his little brother start playing with Sienna, Raphael quickly sped up his food and asked if he could play with Sienna too.
After Sienna finished eating, the child who could walk asked to be put down and started playing with the Twins.
That afternoon, the Twins had a blast coming to Steve's house, as did Sarah who didn't expect her to be able to talk to Anna and share parenting tips.
***
Michael, who was busy replying to incoming emails, immediately stopped his activities when he saw the door to the apartment had been opened and Sarah and the Twins went straight in.
Michael's mouth was open, he wanted to ask where they had gone and what they were doing so they were gone for four hours, but Michael swallowed his words.
Currently his relationship with Sarah is not that close because Sarah is still on the defensive. He might be able to ask Gabriel later when they had time.
However, it didn't take long for Michael to finally figure out what had happened since the Twins had discussed it while they were having dinner.
"Mommy, can we go to Uncle Steve's again tomorrow?" asked Raphael suddenly while he was eating.
Michael perked up his ears when he heard the kid's words. Did he just say Steve's name?
Meanwhile, Sarah was a little surprised. She didn't expect Raphael to call Steve an uncle.
Earlier she and the couple had indeed exchanged children for a while. Steve and Anna wanted to experience how to play and take care of a boy, while Sarah played with Sienna.
Even though she didn't want to get pregnant again, and that was absolutely impossible, Sarah also wanted to experience how to interact with girls so she took the opportunity to do so.
She had no idea that in such a short time Raphael had called Steve uncle and not the old man as he used to call Michael.
"That's right, Mommy! Uncle Steve and Aunt Anna's house is huge!"
"The yard is wide!"
"There is a swimming pool!"
"There's a fountain too!"
"There are trees too!"
"Alright, alright, stop talking for a second!" said Sarah, finally trying to calm the Twins down by mentioning what was at Steve's house.
"We can't go tomorrow because Uncle Steve and Aunty Anna have to work. Tomorrow is Monday, you guys have to go to school too!" Sarah explained.
The faces of the two children immediately turned sad when they heard that.
"Then can we go again the next day?" asked Raphael.
"Mommy doesn't know when you can go there again, Mommy will tell you later, okay?" Sarah explained.
The two children's faces still looked dissatisfied, but they nodded their heads.
Meanwhile, Michael was trying to keep his expression from being too sad when he suddenly seemed forgotten.
He felt sad, not only was Steve called uncle by Raphael, but Gabriel also seemed close to him.
He's jealous! What did the man actually do to win the hearts of the Twins? Not only had he won Sarah's heart that time, now he had also won the hearts of the children.
"But wait!" thought Michael.
Something suddenly popped into Michael's head as he finally realized what had just happened. Sarah took the Twins to go see Steve, but it seemed like it was at his house because he had also been there when Anna had a birthday party for her daughter.
Even though he and Anna have broken up and rarely talk anymore, they still have a relationship because apart from him doing business with Anna's family. Anna was also a model for Collins' clothing and jewelry, and she was professional enough to work with him.
But… if the Twins really were Steve's children, would Sarah have gone crazy enough to take her child to the man's house while Anna was at home? Or is the Blonde doctor crazy enough to meet his illegitimate child at his house when his wife is home?
Michael didn't know what the Blond doctor was like, but Michael knew Sarah, she wasn't crazy enough to do that.
Michael's sadness immediately disappeared and his heart began to beat rapidly. Could it be that his suspicions all along turned out to be true? That he is the father of the Twins?
