Lucas’ Plan
“Ouch!” Shantelle suddenly cried in pain. She was holding her stomach as she sat up from the bed at night. 1
She and her family were still at the lakehouse. They were supposed to return to Rose Hills that afternoon, but because the kids were exhausted from either playing, swimming, or hiking, Evan and Kaleb agreed to postpone their return for tomorrow.
“Oh, babies, you sure woke up, Mommy!” Shantelle said while massaging her stomach.
Evan also awoke. He readily climbed next to his wife, asking, “What’s wrong, Shanty?”
“One of them kicked my rib!” Shantelle couldn’t decide whether to laugh or cry. At thirty-one weeks, she was happy that her twins were active, but now that they were growing inside her fast, they were starting to give her discomfort. “It’s so painful, Evan, and it came all so sudden!”
“What? When? How come I missed it again!” Evan groaned. He had already felt the twins move lately, but he wanted more.
“Well, they are pretty awake right now! Seem like they know their daddy is available to talk.” With a smile, Shantelle adjusted her position. She said, “I can’t lie down, Hubby. I think I should sleep upright more often now. The space is probably too cramped for them if I lie down.”
Evan put several pillows on Shantelle’s back, helping her get more elevation. After she was comfortable, the man eagerly lay next to her, his hand fishing under Shantell’s top and landing on her stomach. “Babies, it’s Daddy – Oh! They kicked! Or at least one of them!”
Instead of lying down, Evan sat on the bed and pulled Shantelle’s top up, exposing her belly. He caressed her stomach, saying, “Come on, guys. Let Daddy feel you some more.”
When another kick hit Evan’s palm, he exclaimed, “Aha! They love me!”
Evan kissed Shantelle’s belly. He said, “Daddy loves you! And Mommy too. Say hi to Daddy – yes! There it is again!”
Her husband was smiling from ear to ear, incredibly happy with the experience. Seeing Evan in that way utterly amused her. To think, a few minutes ago, she was fast asleep.
“Why don’t you sing for them, Evan? Babies love to hear songs,” Shantelle suggested.
“What should I sing?” Evan asked.
“You could sing Hush Little Baby,” Shantelle suggested. She instructed Evan to search for the song online, and Evan played the music on top of Shantelle’s belly.
Indeed, the twins loved the song. There were more movements after playing the music. Evan sang along to the tune, following the lyrics played on the video, “Hush little baby, don’t say a word, Daddy’s gonna buy you a mockingbird
With a frown, Evan cut himself, remarking, “Honestly, the mockingbird isn’t even the best bird singer out there. Why did it have to be mockingbird?”
“I don’t know. It’s probably just the perfect match to the rhymes.” Shantelle laughed. She replied, “It doesn’t matter. It’s a nursery rhyme. Just sing it!”
“Oh, but Shanty, my kids shouldn’t settle for anything less!” Evan claimed. He whispered to Shantelle’s belly, saying, “If Daddy is going to buy you something, I will buy you the best!” He turned off the video
and sang, changing the lyrics of the song, “Hush little baby, don’t say a word, Daddy’s going to hire John Legend to sing you a song -” 1
Shantelle laughed her heart out. She snorted while she was at it. Indeed. If given a chance, Evan would hire a famous singer to sing for the twins.
“What? You like Calum Scott instead?” Evan said, smiling. He went on singing the song. “And if John Legend has a sore throat, Daddy’s gonna buy you a gold mine. And if that mine runs out of gold, Daddy’s going to buy you a bullet train.” i
Really? A bullet train?” Shantelle questioned, still maintaining to laugh.
“They are my kids. They can only experience the best!” Evan claimed before resuming the song. “Besides, that’s much better than a cart and bull! II
Funny enough, the twins kept moving in Shantelle’s belly. They reacted more when Evan would kiss her stomach and make humorous sounds, whatever the man could think of.
Evan delighted in the twin’s activity in Shantelle’s womb. When he noticed they had reduced their movements, he fetched the body butter and spread it evenly on Shantelle’s chest. Yet again, he kissed her belly goodnight and said, “I love you, babies.”
He arranged more pillows on Shantelle’s side, and seeing her yawn, he kissed her forehead, saying, “Goodnight, Wifey. I love you. Thank you for letting me have this experience.”
Before completely dozing off, Shantelle touched Evan’s athletic face. She admired his intense gaze before saying, “I love you too, Hubby. You deserve to enjoy fatherhood from the very start. Goodnight.”

While Shantelle and Evan returned to sleep, in one room, several small flashlights were on, lighting up the space.
All the young boys were still, apparently, awake. Only Lily was fast asleep in her room.
“Lucas, if you and Lily will be best friends and you get to hang out with us often, then that means you must join our brotherhood,” Lewis proposed. He turned to their eldest brother, confirming, Right, Liam?”
Lucas turned to Liam with a question mark on his face. Liam replied, “It’s just our dad’s basic rules, and we turned it into our brotherhood oath. My cousins and I swore the same too.”
“Okay, then, I think it’s fine,” Lucas replied, nodding his head.
“First, you must swear allegiance to the Wright Brotherhood. We will be your family. And thus, your family will come first in anything! Family is important,” Levin said to Lucas, and he nodded.
“Second, like our daddy said, we must learn how to share, like toys or food, ” Kristoff said.
“And we should not be jealous of each other because we are all brothers,” Liam added. “We must have each other’s back and protect each other, especially Lily since she is a girl.”
“Yeah!” Lewis echoed. He said to Lucas, “Since you are best friends with Lily, and she seems to trust you more about her girl thing, you must promise to keep her safe.”
“I promise!” Lucas swore.
“You must treat her like your sister, just like we do,” Liam added.” Remember your responsibility to Lily. I will hold you accountable for that!”
“Of course, I’m her special best friend!” Lucas claimed.
“Good, now that we got that settled, let’s seal the deal with a brotherhood hug!” Liam encouraged. He and his brothers leaned back, then raised their right hand, forming it into a fist, saying, “Hiya!”
“Hiya!” Lucas promptly followed their actions before they all wound up in a group hug!
After the brotherhood oathtaking, Lucas said, “you guys are the best!”
Liam smirked at Lucas. He said, “Nah, we are like this because our family is the best! You should come to Braeton and meet our cousins.”
“And my grandma,” Lewis said. “She is the best!” 1 Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
“Hmmm.” Lucas thought. “Is it far?”
“An hour plane ride,” Levin replied. “Easy peasy.”
“Easy peasy! When I get better, I can ride a private plane daily. I can go to school in Braeton!” Lucas claimed. “Lily and I will be in the same class!” 2

The next day, everyone returned to Rose Hills. The Wrights flew back to Braeton, whereas the couple, Miguel and Lucas, went home to the mansion.
Like any pregnant woman with a growing belly, Shantelle immediately felt the need to relieve her bladder. Evan guided her to the first-floor restroom. She went in, but after a second, she screamed, “Evan! Evan! Take me to the hospital, now!”
