Plans were destroyed after Marga showed up in the house. The original A-Special Agents, Catriona, Veronica, Jason, Mark, and Albert feel sorry for Athena. Athena and the kids didn't know that Xavier is Marga's son.
Sabrina left Athena's room with the tray of foods that she didn't even touch. She fell asleep from crying and she went to the kitchen to put it there. The two pairs of triplets are discussing how to get back on Xavier for what he did while they are drinking wine. They stopped when they noticed her. She sighed and faced them.
"Xavier didn't know. I know that his mind is messed up but the six of you shouldn't discuss such a thing."
"Mom, but he hurt Athena," Alexander said.
"He didn't hurt her physically and he didn't cheat on her. Let's give the two of them some space. It's hard to process for Xavier." Sabrina leaves the two triplets. She went to her room and looked at Gabriel who is speaking with someone over the phone while he's facing the window.
"Yes, that's all for my schedule." Gabriel hung up and turned to his wife. "How's Athena?"
"She's asleep. Didn't eat and just drank water." She approached him and wrapped her arms around him. She shoved her face to his chest and inhaled his scent. It calmed her down. "It wasn't Xavier and Athena's fault. I wish that Xavier will come back."
"Maybe they weren't for each other," Gabriel said.
"The two of them will never love anyone…" Sabrina mumbled. "I just know. I saw how Xavier treated Athena like she's his queen. Athena is hurt. I also respect Xavier's decision but it's too rushed."
"His mother isn't stable." Gabriel caressed her hair lovingly and to comfort her. "Marga is suicidal. That's why Xavier chose her over Athena. That's why he chose to leave Athena so her mother wouldn't kill herself."
"I know. That bitch is still selfish."
"Let's enjoy the Christmas vacation." He kissed her forehead and gently pushed her cardigan. She sighed and tiptoed. She kissed his lips.
"You know that even lovemaking wouldn't make my worry over our daughter vanish."
"Yes, I know." He bent down and kissed her neck.
"Once we, Mondragon, give love. We give it wholeheartedly, almost not leaving half of the love to ourselves. Once we love, it will be permanent. We will know if that man or woman is for us. I don't have advanced visions like Andromeda, but I can feel it when I am close to you. I feel like my soul is bound to you."
Gabriel bent down and carried her to bed.
"I feel that too. That's why I love you, so much. That's why I spoiled you." He touched her nose as Sabrina smiled.

Raiden watched as Charlotte ate. She only played at her food. His heart aches to see her like this. After their dinner, they went to the table to watch some videos that Sophia prepared for their party. Raiden hugged Charlotte from behind and kissed her. He looked at her. She admired Camila and Christina wearing a fitted dress showing their baby bumps. She looked at them with envy.
He reached her stomach and kissed her cheek.
"Come," He took her to the room next to the library. It was labeled as Clinic. He opened the door.
Charlotte caught the equipment that looks like a capsule. She looked at Natalia and Cyra who smiled up at her.
"Uh, what is this?"
"We are doctors. Although we aren't obstetricians, this device will diagnose you."
Charlotte reached her stomach. She exhaled.
"Will that help to make me pregnant?" She asked.
"Of course," Cyra nodded. "You just have to trust us."
Charlotte nodded. Raiden led her to the capsule. Butler Samson came with a tray and a cloth over it.
"Please put your jewelry here and anything that wouldn't interfere with the machine and wear this."
She removed her rings, next is her necklace and earrings. She then removed the smartwatch. She took the white hospital dress. She went to the curtains and changed her clothes for them. She felt nervous as she walked close to the capsule. They help her settle there.
They scanned her body like a CT scan or MRI. They adjust it to the ultrasound effect. But the radiation won't affect the body or the baby if there is. The scanning continued and Natalia creased her brows. Cyra looked at the screen and Raiden approached them.
"What is it?"
"These are two heartbeats," Cyra said. "I think it's three."
Natalia typed and checked it.
"Positive, it's three."
Raiden creased his brows and crossed his arms.
"Does that mean~~"
Cyra and Natalia nodded.
"Your wife is pregnant and her ovary is completely healthy. Congratulations, you are having triplets." Natalia announced.
"What the fuck?!" Raiden exclaimed. "Triplets?"
Cyra chuckled.
"Sorry, maybe it's my curse. But the heartbeats are healthy." She turned on the volume so Raiden could hear the heartbeats.
His heart felt like it skipped a beat. Like the first time, he lay his eyes on her.
"I'm going to kill that doctor. She said that she had two tumors on both ovaries and the cancer is spreading and keeps talking~~shits."
"Well, I think someone is playing behind that doctor." Cyra shrugged. "Who holds a grudge toward you or maybe to Charlotte?"
Raiden exhaled and thought about it. He pulled out his phone and called his secretary to investigate the doctor. He gave the name and the address. Cyra printed the photo of Charlotte's stomach and then she gave it to him. He smiled and admired the three dots.
Charlotte sat up and looked at Raiden. He approached her and hugged her tightly.
"What's wrong?" She asked. He kissed her lips and showed her the ultrasound photo. Her lips wobbled.
"That's triplets." He told me. "So, we are going to start jumbling names." He wiped her tears.
"I am pregnant?"
"Yes,"
"Then, why didn't it show in the pregnancy test?"
"I think you take it too early," Cyra said. "Your babies are for five weeks. Try taking a test tomorrow, first thing you pee. It'll be more accurate. But according to my capsule, you are pregnant and your babies are healthy."
"Congrats!" Natalia looked excited. "Wow, I couldn't believe that Smiths are pregnant!"
"I know, right. I think it's a big blessing to our family."
Raiden helped her dress up. He also helped with putting her rings and earrings and smartwatch. Charlotte wiped her tears and fixed her face in the mirror. Then, they went back to the grand room. Cyra and Natalia followed as Butler Samson tailed them.
"Everyone!" Raiden gets everyone's attention. "I think we need more champagnes."
"What for?" Freya asked.
"We are pregnant."
Freya laughed as everyone didn't make a noise.
"You can't get pregnant. But Charlotte can…" Freya said as she sipped on her wine. Then she stopped. At first, she thought that her son was pranking her and Charlotte lifted a photo to Freya. Everyone shouted and cheered as Freya approached them and checked it. "What the fuck!" Her curses can't be heard because everyone, mostly their grandparents is shouting and cheering.
"Triplets, mum!" Charlotte said and hugged Freya. Freya glared at Raiden. Raiden nodded and thumbs up. Freya hugged Charlotte and patted her back. Charlotte wiped her tears. At least the girl is happy.
"Congrats, Freya! You are old right now with lots of grandchildren!" Andromeda said. Steven and Stanley are dancing. Since their firstborn is having children.
Freya watched as Steven and Stanley did their happy dance. She massaged her forehead. Okay, she's happy that her children are going to have kids. But she's not happy to be called grandmother. So, she will teach the kids to call her Mama instead of grandmother or grandma.
She smiled as Charlotte and Raiden went to the middle to dance too. She looked happy. Freya noticed that she'd been depressed when she arrived. Raiden mentioned to her that according to Charlotte's doctor she can't get pregnant and her ovary needed to be removed or cancer will spread. Someone is playing tricks behind that doctor. Or the doctor itself must've grudged toward Charlotte.
If Charlotte would actually let that doctor operate on her, they would lose three innocent babies. The future heirs or heiresses. She sighed and smiled. Fin approached her and hugged her.
"Well, congratulations, grandmother." Fin grinned. She pinched his sides.
"I don't want to be called a grandmother."
"It's fine." They looked at their in-laws who looked happy about it. The family is getting bigger and stronger. "At least they are all happy."
"Baby is a blessing to us."
"You are right."
Freya looked at Dmitri who looked at his daughter and Christian as they left the great room and who knew where they were going. He risked his life to save Christian. He trespassed the Eagle Empire to save Lebedov. She watched as Raiden hugged his wife from behind, stroking her stomach lovingly. The happiness inside this house is too much. Like it's the end of the world. Soon, it will end in tragedy. Happiness always has pain or chaos. When there's positive, there's also negative.
Time is ticking, and Freya's phone chimes. Dmitri's phone chimes, together with Andromeda, Andel, and Fin.
"Evacuate!" Someone shouted.
