Chapter 694: Chapter 665: The Era of Second Children (Part 4)
(Additional November ticket update 2)
Joyce Sutton laughed, "Brother and sister. The brother is 2.6 kilograms, the sister is 2.5 kilograms, the weight is the most standard among twin newborns."
Sylvia Langley happily patted Joyce Sutton’s arm, "Thank you, Dr. Sutton."
Their conversation stirred Sienna Thornton, and she tiredly opened her eyes. What met her gaze was Simon Forrester’s anxious face.
"Candy, are you uncomfortable?" In private, he still called her by the pet name he had given her.
Sienna Thornton shook her head, weakly smiling, "It’s alright, about the same as last time."
Joyce Sutton saw she was awake and walked over to check the status on the nearby monitor, recording in her notebook, "Vitals are normal, mother and baby can go back to the ward."
The nurse came over to help wrap the baby in a blanket and transfer them to the small bed. When she was about to help Sienna Thornton change clothes, Simon Forrester blocked her, "I’ll do it."
He carefully closed Sienna Thornton’s opened clothes, fastened the straps, and covered her with a blanket.
Sylvia Langley pushed the babies to the ward first, Simon Forrester organized Sienna Thornton and then followed the nurses to get her to the ward.
Along the way, he kept slightly bent over, holding her slightly cold hand. She closed her eyes to rest, occasionally opening them to see him beside her, feeling comforted and happy.
...
With the experience from the previous cesarean section, Sienna Thornton was much more composed this time.
When to get out of bed to help pass gas, when to breastfeed the children, when to eat, all went according to the process, without any panic in her heart.
On the fifth day, they were discharged and went to the month center where they stayed last time.
Due to the struggles in The Forresters’ robotics production line, Simon Forrester couldn’t take long leave to stay, so Sylvia Langley accompanied during the day at the month center, while he came after work with Victor to accompany Sienna Thornton and the twins, while also taking care of Victor.
Four-year-old Victor was very well-behaved, after finishing reading a picture book, he went to accompany mom and the younger siblings. Occasionally, when the twins cried for a hug, he, at his young age, would also help hug them together.
Whenever he hugged the younger siblings, he would say to them, "Don’t worry! Brother will take care of you in the future! But you have to promise brother to study hard and also accompany mom and dad a lot!"
Sienna Thornton couldn’t help but laugh, asking Simon Forrester, "Who taught Kyle to say these things? How come he’s like a little old man?"
Simon Forrester laughed, "Maybe it was the kindergarten teacher or from an audio picture book."
.
The month center was a two-story villa, with two guest rooms downstairs. At night, the twins slept in the small bed, Simon Forrester and Sienna Thornton on the big bed, Victor in the neighboring guest room.
Victor was very brave, splitting rooms with his parents his second month in the small class, moving to the children’s room alone.
Simon Forrester installed monitoring and alarm equipment in his room, constantly checking on his phone to see if he kicked off the blanket or woke up.
It was the same at the month center.
On the twins’ twentieth day at night, Simon Forrester settled Victor in the neighboring room, then came to the master bedroom, where Sienna Thornton had just finished nursing the brother among the twins.
"Move the brother over, bring the sister over," she gestured to Simon Forrester.
Simon Forrester promptly went over to do as told.
After everything was done, he went to the washroom to freshen up, then got into bed.
He propped his chin, watching the sister who was earnest in her breastfeeding, could not resist poking her tender cheek with his forefinger.
The sister was nursing with her eyes closed, ignoring him, unlike the previous Victor, who would stop to take a glance at him.
Simon Forrester looked at his little daughter with affection, a smile breaking from his lips, whispering, "Our girl will likely walk a cool path."
"What about the brother?"
Simon Forrester shifted his gaze to the second son sleeping soundly on the small bed, "Probably the same."
Sienna Thornton laughed softly, lowering her gaze to look at the little girl, "The girl’s eyelashes are so long..."
Simon Forrester leaned in, "Like a doll, so beautiful, like you."
"Really?" Sienna Thornton lowered her voice, "But your mom said the brother and sister look exactly like you when you were born."
Simon Forrester pursed his lips, unable to hide his smile, "That’s nonsense."
"Today I looked at pictures of Kyle when he was young and discovered he looked just like the brother and sister during the month stage." Sienna Thornton’s eyes sideways at him, "I gave birth to three replicas of you, happy now?"
Simon Forrester smiled without speaking, looking quite pleased.
He propped his chin, watching the sister finish nursing, eagerly picking her up to burp, then putting her to sleep next to her brother on the small bed.
Afterward, he turned off the lights, got into bed, gently embraced Sienna Thornton in his arms.
He lowered his head to find her lips and kissed her.
Sienna Thornton snuggled obediently into his warm embrace, inhaling deeply in that familiar scent, feeling very comforted.
Simon Forrester whispered to her, "I’ve discussed with Grandpa that the brother follows your surname ’Thornton,’ and the sister follows my surname ’Forrester.’"
"Was Grandfather angry?"
In the dark, Simon Forrester’s breath stilled for a few seconds.
More than angry, when he mentioned this at the old house, Old Master Forrester almost tore the roof off.
"No, it was agreed in front of the elders of both families, what’s there to be angry about."
Sienna Thornton nodded, "That’s good."
"But Grandpa proposed that he wants to name the twins, is that okay?"
"Sure, it should be..." Before she finished speaking, the man’s soft lips approached.
She cautiously responded to him.
...
When the twins reached their full month, the Forrester Family hosted a large banquet at ’The Imperial’ hotel, celebrating the twins’ one-month anniversary.
At the full month banquet, the vigorous ninety-one-year-old Old Master Forrester held a baby in each arm, praising his great-grandchildren with everyone he met.
That night, friends and family attended the banquet, all envying the Forrester Family for having such an accomplished, wealthy, and beautiful daughter-in-law as Sienna Thornton, not only outstanding in looks and temperament, but also with an impressive career, giving birth to three great-grandchildren for the Forrester Family, two sons and a daughter.
After the full month, Sienna Thornton began taking care of the twins at home. Unable to manage alone and Melinda Linton being unwell lately, Simon Forrester asked Sylvia Langley to temporarily set her career in Franland aside and return home to help take care of the twins.
After careful consideration, Sylvia Langley perhaps realizing she was getting older and not suited to drifting in a foreign country, spent two to three months handing over her career in Franland to a professional manager, fully committing herself to returning home to help take care of the twins.
That year, after the Spring Festival, with the twins not yet four months old, Sienna Thornton’s maternity leave ended, she returned to work, leaving the twins under the care of Sylvia Langley and a childcare provider.
Despite having never taken care of her own son, under the guidance of a childcare provider, Sylvia Langley managed to raise the twin grandchildren into healthy, chubby, clever and lovable children.
