303 Final Arc Part XXI
8 months later...
Yu Chen and Xiaolei were reclining on their new sofa, relaxing and just enjoying a moment of quiet they had managed to catch in the midst of the craziness that had not stopped since the attack 8 months ago. Yu Chen had commissioned for their entire house in Scarlet Hill to be demolished and rebuilt on the same plot of land according to the latest modern design and outfitted with the best security measures which could not be found even in the black market.
Xiaolei was leaning back on Yu Chen's chest, his powerful long legs on either side of hers and his arms wrapped securely yet gently around her abdomen. Both had contented smiles gracing their lips.
"Are you feeling totally fine now? No more dizzy spells? Nausea? If you are seeing light spots in your vision, you need to inform me and Davi immediately, okay?" Yu Chen nagged at her like an old grandfather as his brows were furrowed, worried for her wellbeing.
"I'm better than fine. Don't worry, I won't take any risks. Not when we finally are getting the complete family we've dreamt of in two of our lifetimes." Xiaolei whispered softly as she laid her hands over Yu Chen's that were still on her rounded abdomen, as though protecting that little life which was growing within her and was about to make his appearance into the world in few weeks' time.
"Yeah... what an adventure, huh?" Yu Chen murmured, his lips pressed into her hair and he inhaled her floral fragrance of her shampoo. "Thank god Davi is that freaky genius she is. If not for her, bro Zaki would have had no hope of ever living a normal life... especially he and Hinari wanting to expand their family."
"I am really grateful to sis Davi... because of her, Juu and Kyuu are also able to live their lives as young men their age." Xiaolei's eyes teared up mentioning these two men who she treat like her younger brothers. "She's really my idol. Her brilliance and talent in chemistry and medical technology is just otherworldly!"
"Yeah. She's totally a match made in heaven for my brother Sei. We need to throw a housewarming party cum baby shower soon before the baby arrives. Rui and Ran have been excited in wanting to meet their new baby sister." Yu Chen chuckled, remembering how the kids had called him and reminded him constantly to let them know when the baby arrives.
"Uh huh... let's not forget Zaki and Hinari too. They are not too far behind us." Xiaolei chuckled as well, thinking of how Hinari was also currently 4 months pregnant. Zaki had almost gone crazy calling everyone, boasting on how he was going to be having a son soon.
Yu Chen smirked before commenting, "Hah! But my son would be coming first!" To which Xiaolei rolled her eyes. The two men had been boasting and arguing at how they were going to have sons coming soon. It was hilarious those times Zaki and Yu Chen met up, only to get into argument at who was faster and better and more adept at siring a child.
"Be careful you don't let Sei hear you or Zaki argue again. He'd kick you guys out and slam the door behind you." Xiaolei snickered, remembering the warning given the last time.
"Mmm... Sei is so cruel to me!" Yu Chen pretended to grumble before sighing and keeping silent for a moment. "I only wish Davi and Sei were not so kindhearted and extended the new formulation she had developed to treat One. I don't quite mind Seven... but One don't deserved it." Yu Chen muttered a little disagreeably as he thought of how One had caused such damage to their home and severely injured Zaki. He had even masterminded in wanting to hurt Davi.
"Chen... I think as how we were both given such a miraculous chance in living our lives again, perhaps One deserved this chance with Davi's treatment. You know he turned out this way due to the way he had been groomed since a toddler. And from the way he had turned out after the treatment... I think it is the best result that we could have hoped for. Right...?" Xiaolei had turned and cupped her husband's face in both her palms, smiling at his still pouty lips. They had not gone back to their earlier cool style of holding back in their relationship and had been open and honest in everything they felt and thought with each other. Though there had been a once in a while heated arguments and a few times where they had raised their voices against the other, mostly Xiaolei being the loudest, the makeup sex had always been more than worth the trouble.
"Yeah, I guess so..." Yu Chen reluctantly agreed with his wife, knowing that she did make a lot of sense. After all, now that One had recovered but with the side effects of total memory loss. That was a lucky strike as the combination of the brain trauma received from the fight with Zaki plus the savage collision from Yu Chen's car had somehow allowed Davi's latest medication to wipe off everything except the most basic skills. He was now like a child – pure and untainted – a total opposite of his earlier persona. He would smile and laugh at the slightest thing, his baby blues would always twinkle cheerfully and he was currently the mascot of Davi's research lab. Seven who had also recovered fully with the same treatment, had also dedicated his life to Davi's research lab as thanks to the chance to change his life.
"Well... I would prefer that we focus on the coming of our little son..." Yu Chen then bent over and gently hugged Xiaolei's waist as he put his cheek on the large bump on her abdomen. A sudden strong kick met his cheek, giving him a surprise. Looking up at his wife who was laughing at his shocked face with stars sparkling in her eyes, he felt it was totally worth it to endure the suffering from the previous lifetime to experience the sweetness of this one.
