Maxine carefully stood and sighed. Her tummy was heavier than two days ago. Her back is aching so much like it's going to break. But since she has a supportive husband, she could make it to the kitchen or bathroom.
"Rence," She called out. She peeked at the window and noticed that he harvest a lot of ingredients. "Oh, he's too busy." She mumbled and walked to the bathroom. She do her business, reached the rail to pull herself up. Her husband rails on their bathroom also on other bathrooms to make sure that pregnant ladies wouldn't slip. There is also a lot of non-slip carpets in every bathroom and every day, Terrence and Connor clean the house and the rooms. They are just such amazing people.
She washed her hands after and walked out of her room to the playroom where everyone gathered. Kal shouted.
"Mama!" He rushed to her, stopped in front of her, and smiled. "Bibi, coming?" he asked
"Yes," She reached his head. "You grow taller."
"Bibi, play Kin-kin and Eon!"
"I am sure that she will."
He giggled and rushed back to the sofa. Just when she was walking to the sofa, Violet entered as Kal squealed in excitement.
"Mimi!"
Violet picked him up and gave him a lot of kisses. They squeezed each other like they hadn't held each other for a very long time. They sat on the love seat as Violet listened to his son start telling stories about what they did. He showed him the coloring book that Leon bought for him.
Maxine admired the mother and son tandem who were busy chatting with each other. Even Violet told him about his dad and Aunt Johanna. It just made her happy seeing them having that kind of bonding.
"I have to make some ref cake." Keira stood when she realized that she had things to do. "What would you like, Ali?"
"Do we have strawberries?" She asked. "Strawberries and mango seemed to be a good match."
"Don't worry. I got you." Keira winked and giggled. "MJ? Maxi?"
"I want blueberries if we have them. Or if we don't, any kind of berry."
"Great. I am craving a lot of ref cake." She happily exited the playroom.
Although they've been locked down in the villa for months now, none of them got bored around. It was a peaceful and typical day. Although they are hiding from all of the threats, it was better than worrying about their safety.
"Oh, I need to pee again," Maxine said as she carefully stood, held her tummy, and walked out of the playroom.
Leon pouted and looked at his girl.
"You will be like that when your tummy gets bigger."
"I know." She sighed. "I spent all my time reading all about pregnancy."
"You will be more beautiful." He whispered to fancy her but she nudged him.

Harvey sighed after he finished the last piece of paper. It was a tough day but he promised his wife to be there for his friend. But anyway, he must take a nice nap. He left his study room and turned around to see Clare holding a tray with a coffee and a snack on it.
"Mr. Del Carlo, I am sorry to interrupt but you might be hungry."
He looked at it. He doesn't want to turn back and ignore her. She's been a good companion of his wife. So he bet that she's a good person that's why she was chosen by his wife.
"Thank you." He took it from her. He smiled at her and looked at her small bump. "Baby's growing." He said and bent down to look at it. "Good night. You should sleep by now." He turned back and brought it to his room. He sipped on the coffee and picked a bagel and tore a little bit of it. His phone rang as he picked up the mug, answered it, and sat on the sofa. He grinned after he answered the call. His wife's beautiful face just relieves all of his tiredness.
"How are you in love?" She asked softly.
"I'm doing fine." He sipped on the coffee and finished it. "I just finished work and I will be there as soon as possible tomorrow. I might probably use a chopper to get there."
"Dad will wake you up." She said, "I will call you."
"Great." He yawned. "I'm gonna strip off and get to bed."
"Without brushing your teeth?" She asked.
"I'm sleepy." He mumbled as he put his phone over the stand. "If you are here, could we make a little lovemaking? Or maybe I could just come and piss you off."
She giggled and watched him remove his pants, leaving his boxer shorts. She bit her lower lip while admiring her husband.
"Where's our Princess?" He asked as he lay down, sideways facing his phone.
"She's with her cousins. I mean, you might not call them cousins but they are family."
"They are cousins." He agreed since he took his friends as his family. He yawned again.
"You easily get sleepy today." She said.
"Maybe because of coffee." He mumbled.
"Okay, you go to sleep."
Harvey reached for her pillow and hugged it. He smelled her scent on her pillow and smiled happily.
Harvey was fast asleep. On the other hand, Clare got in as she approached the bed. She crawled over the bed and hugged Harvey. The father of the baby in her tummy. She slid her hand to his chest. He moaned and smiled.
"Mitch," he mumbled and went back to sleep.
She kissed his cheek and closed her eyes as she stayed with him on the bed.

Back in Keira's secret villa, MJ is currently monitoring everything that Clare is doing. She smirked and sighed.
"You touch the wrong man." She mumbled and crossed her legs. "Well, we will just have to wait until our baby is born." She sipped on her fruit tea and looked at Kal who was still energetic at this moment. Quinn and Dione were wide awake about Kal's stories. He was chatty since he had a lot of babies to play with.
She reached for her other phone and called Clare's maid. It was ringing so she called the Head of Mansion and said that Clare's maid was asleep and couldn't be awakened. It must be a drug but how did Clare get it? She might have it since she got here. She already ran background on her and it was said from one of the families that she seduced the husband. One said that her husband even cheated and slept with her.
"Hey, are you okay?" Keira asked as she sat beside her.
"Yes, everything is fine." She said, sounding sure, her eyes were fierce as she looked away.
Keira sighed and shook her head.
"Something is up," Keira said, sounding so sure.
"Yes," MJ said. "The surrogate mother of my baby is sleeping with my husband right now."
"What?" Keira exclaimed.
"My man passed out because she put a drug on his coffee."
"Ohh," Keira shook her head. "That's insane."
"I made a mistake by not checking out their mental health thoroughly. The doctor said that she was fine and nothing is wrong with her from all of the tests. But the psychiatrist told me that she's quite obsessive as it shows signs of being good at everything. Like lying."
"Hmm," Keira nodded her head. "I just hope that your baby will be safe."
"Our baby will be safe. I won't let anything bad happen to my family."
"Yay," Keira said nervously and sighed again.
She stood when Dione started making an irritating sound.
"That's it Kal. Dione is tired of your stories. We will have that tomorrow."
"Ay!" Kal pouted.
"Love, everyone is tired." Violet picked up Kal and gave him kisses. "Quinn and Dione looked tired too."
"Hay," Kal hugged Violet's neck.
"Mi-milk, Mimi. I~~wan milk."
"Alright, you will have that," Violet said softly.
MJ kissed Quinn's thigh as she picked up Dione.
"Connor, I think I have to feed Quinn after Dione."
"Yeah, sure. She couldn't finish all of her milk these days." Connor said.
Connor followed her to their room with Quinn in his arms. He carefully put Quinn on the baby bed for Dione.
"You can leave us. You need a break too, Connor."
Connor hesitated. He's been having separation anxiety every time they take his baby. But it was for Quinn's best.
"For the following days, you have to go on missions and Quinn will be with us," MJ said.
"Okay." He looked at Quinn one last time. Then, he approached the bed and kissed Quinn's forehead. "Stay with your Aunt, okay."
Quinn cooed and slowly turned into her stomach. She started bubbling words.
He covered more pillows around her.
"Are you sure that it's okay?" Connor asked.
"Yes."
"Okay," He left the room and slowly closed the door.
MJ fed her little darling as her hand reached the tablet and turned on the television and connected it to the secret camera in her bedroom. She watched as the crazy slut touched her sleeping husband. Kissing his chest and even tried to reach him down there. She gritted her teeth. Dione suddenly cried and she calmed herself.
"I'm sorry, Princess.." She kissed Dione's forehead.
