Chapter 1786

Penulis: Cozy Season
Seven years later, the Potter Mansion hummed with quiet joy.

Debra and Marion's married life settled into a peaceful groove. Friends dropped by now and then, chatting about business rivalries or family quirks.

One day, the grown-ups gathered in the front hall, planning an afternoon trip to the cemetery.

In the back garden, seven-year-old Lillian swung on the swing set. Eight-year-old Solomon pushed her from behind.

Lillian chirped in her sweet, childish voice, "My dad and mom said we're going to see Uncle Andrew this afternoon. Do you think he'd like my black dress or the red one?"

Solomon kept pushing. "Doesn't matter. He can't see it either way. Go with black. My mom says you wear black to the cemetery."

"But he told me he liked me in red."

"Dead people don't talk."

Solomon matured faster than most kids. He had to, with parents like that.

Ever since he could remember, his mom and dad acted like overgrown kids. They'd sneak out for barbecues while he slept and confiscate his

    "See you at the cemetery," Debra said, cradling Lillian as she climbed into the car with Marion.Jordan noted, "This is probably the most we've ever had shown up.""Yeah," Debra smiled. "Everyone has been busy. This year is livelier."Marion held her hand. "You tired? Let Lillian sit by herself. She's old enough.""I want Daddy to hold me." Lillian tugged at his sleeve.Debra pinched her nose. "Daddy says sit alone, and you cling to him like a koala."Marion never said no to his daughter. He took Lillian from Debra's arms with a sigh. "You're in first grade now. You gotta learn to stand on your own. Don't always lean on us.""But my classmates all like me." Lillian's big eyes sparkled. "They're super nice. I can brush my teeth, wash my face, and dress myself."Debra laughed, "Aren't you so amazing? Even Solomon can't keep up with you.""He says that too," Lillian chirped, glancing at Jordan behind the wheel. "Uncle Jordan, am I right?""Spot on," Jordan grinned. "You're fanta

    "Go check it out. It's a girl," Jordan said.He'd just gotten word from Andrew over the phone.The surgical team had been handpicked by Andrew, so he had gotten the news firsthand and even prepared a gift.The newborn got wheeled out. Bundled up, she looked tiny and soft."Whoa, she looks like a rat," Liza blurted.Robert nodded. "She does."The doctor chuckled, "That's normal for newborns. She'll full up in a few days.""She's cute," Drake said, hovering over the baby.He wanted to tease her but worried he'd mess her up."Wait, where's Marion?" He blinked, realizing the guy who'd been pacing was gone."He bolted inside the moment the door opened," Liza said, seeing it all.Debra lay on the table, still out. Her face was a bit pale.Marion gently wiped the sweat off her forehead, only relaxing once he knew she was okay.In the hall, everyone cooed over the baby. Drake's ears pricked at the sound of dress shoes clicking closer. He turned and saw Juan approaching.Juan carr

    The day Debra went into labor, the Potter Mansion buzzed with chaos.Jordan had a medical team on standby to whisk her to Central Hospital.Debra got swarmed like a VIP. They'd rehearsed the whole thing a million times, but when the day hit, everyone still freaked out.Since they'd locked in the delivery date, Debra stayed awake and lucid. At the hospital, she just followed the doctors' orders like a champ.She eyed the operating table and slowly shut her eyes.At first, she caught snippets of noise. Then exhaustion took over, and she conked out.Once again, they went back to that dream.The garden of the Potter Mansion looked like it did a decade ago. She wandered to the swing set, gave it a nudge, and heard her parents call from a distance."Debra, come say hi to Mr. and Mrs. Potter." They waved her over.This time, it felt different. She knew she was dreaming, and all her memories stayed sharp.She glanced up at the second-floor study window. It hung open, white curtains f

    Marion jumped up, grabbing her arm. "Take it slow. I'll help you upstairs."Solomon stirred, then perked up as the emotionless storyteller left. His eyes sparkled with relief."Pretty fancy setup," William said, eyeing the pricey medical gear Jordan had prepared for Debra and Erica. "Beats Central Hospital hands down."He itched to fiddle with the machines."Quit drooling over them," Jordan said. "Check on the baby first.""Oh, right." William snapped to it, pulling out his stethoscope.After a quick listen, he nodded. "Let's get an X-ray."Debra knew the drill better than he did. Once it was done, William studied the film and grinned, "Looks good. The baby is very healthy."Debra squinted at him. The way he held the X-ray wasn't so obstetric."You sure you know what you're looking at?""Totally.""You're holding it upside down."William coughed, masking his flub. "Trust me, my skills are next-level. I can read it anyway."Jordan, watching from the doorway, cut in. "Alrigh

    After Debra got pregnant, Jordan brought William over.In the living room, Debra lounged on the sofa.Marion sat beside her, reading to the baby for prenatal bonding.Strapped to a highchair nearby, Solomon got roped in and nodded off.Debra was surprised to see William there.Jordan explained, "I called him in to look after you. Just routine checkups, and we can all relax.""But..." Debra glanced at William. "Are you an obstetrician?"William stammered, "Uh... Yeah.""Really? I thought you were a surgeon.""Well," William cleared his throat, "you know, I'm a jack of all trades. I've been brushing up on OB-GYN stuff lately. I've got it mostly figured out. I'll take great care of you and the baby.""You're studying it right now?""Yep.""And you're getting it?"William straightened up. "I'm natural."Jordan chimed in, "I've dabbled in OB-GYN too. It's not that hard."He had skimmed some parenting books when Solomon was born and barely kept up. When Debra got pregnant, he
