Chapter 688 Reunited at Last The End
Soon, Ronnie and Dylan came back.
"Honey! You scared me half to death!"
Dylan helped Kendall into the car as he said, "I turned around and you were nowhere to be seen. I felt chills running down my spine!"
"I thought you and Ronnie could have the baby together at the hospital," Kendall remarked with a chuckle.
Ronnie was flustered too. "Young Master Dylan urged me to start driving as soon as he entered. I didn't pay attention to whether or not Young Mistress Kendall had managed to get in the car as well."
He couldn't be faulted when even Dylan managed to leave Kendall behind.
Everyone else laughed until their sides ached.
They swiftly escorted Kendall to the hospital without forgetting to inform the Parkers.
Kendall was in precipitous labor. When she arrived at the hospital, they took her to the delivery room at once.
By the time the Parkers arrived, the nurse was carrying a baby out of the delivery room, which caused everyone to rush forward at once.
The nurse was startled as she didn't expect to find so many people waiting outside, but she did know that the patient in labor was the Colemans' daughter-in-law.
She could tell that the family cared a lot about the latest addition to the family.
"How's my wife doing?" Dylan checked with the nurse to find out about Kendall's condition.
When Adam and Charlotte heard their son-in-law's question, they got the feeling that their daughter had married the right man.
"Congratulations, Mr. Coleman," the nurse replied with a smile. "Your wife is doing just fine. All is well with both your wife and your daughter."
She leaned forward a little to let everyone have a better look at the baby. "It's a girl. She weighs six pounds and ten ounces."
After confirming that Kendall and the baby were both fine, Dylan was finally calm enough to take a look at his child. However, when he saw his daughter, he was startled and couldn't resist asking, "Why is she so ugly? Has my wife seen her? I don't want to scare my wife."
Dylan and Kendall were both attractive, so he had high hopes for his baby. He didn't expect her to look all red and wrinkled.
As soon as Dylan finished speaking, his grandmother smacked him. Tilly happily moved forward to take the baby in her arms as she chided her grandson. "What do you know? All babies look like that when they're born. She'll become a gorgeous baby soon. Since you find her ugly now, don't even think about holding her in the future."
Nevertheless, the nurse didn't let Tilly take the baby. She smiled and explained, "I brought the baby out for everyone to take a look first, Old Madam Coleman, but I have to take her back in for observations now. She'll come right out with her mother later."
Tilly acknowledged the nurse's words but took her great-granddaughter into her arms anyway. Now that she finally got to have the great-granddaughter she'd been waiting for all this time, she couldn't stop herself from smiling exuberantly. She wouldn't even let Emily, Charlotte, or anyone else carry the baby.
In the end, only Tilly got to hold the baby before the nurse took the baby back into the delivery room.
"Is that true, Grandma?" Dylan asked Tilly. "Do all babies look like that when they're born? I thought… I was so shocked. Well, I'm mainly afraid that Kendall would get a fright. She might be disappointed to find that the baby she carried for all these months ended up looking like that. I wouldn't turn my nose up at my child no matter how she looks."
"You did turn your nose up just now, Dylan," Yoseph quipped. "Grandma, why didn't you let me carry the baby? I only got to see her for a bit."
The older family members fired back, "We didn't get to carry the baby either, so why would you? If you like babies so much, you and Jane should hurry up and have one too."
Alice and the other young Coleman men had been stuck at the back of the crowd, and they voiced their discontent too. "At least you got to see the baby, Yoseph. The rest of us got shoved behind and couldn't even take a look at her."
"Now that my niece is born, no one cares about me anymore," Alice added. "Why didn't you let me take a look?"
Everyone chuckled at her comment.
"It's a girl! A girl! I have a daughter! Hahaha!"
At last, Dylan finally registered what was happening. He was so thrilled that he wanted to jump for joy.
Everyone was in a celebratory mood.
The Colemans went five generations without a daughter until Alice was born in Dylan's generation, and she was the only girl surrounded by fifteen other brothers and cousins. This changed now that Kendall gave birth to a daughter.
Everyone waited around until Kendall and the baby came out together.
"Honey!"
Dylan was the first to rush over. He stared tenderly at her and kissed her forehead. "You went through so much, honey."
Kendall was smiling blissfully. "It's our baby, darling. Our baby girl."
After the baby was born, the nurse cleaned her up and brought her to Kendall.
Kendall had recognized the baby right away. It was her baby. The baby from her previous life had come back to her.
Her daughter looked the same as she did when she was born in her previous life. Nothing changed at all.
As soon as Kendall saw that, she started crying.
She couldn't thank fate enough for not only allowing her to redo her life to avoid the tragedy of her previous life but also for letting the baby reunite with her, despite how useless of a mother she had been.
Our family of three has reunited!
"Our baby."
Dylan gave Kendall another kiss as he also was emotional.
In Kendall's dream, he never knew about the baby's existence and didn't know that she was her daughter. He witnessed Kendall and the baby dying in front of him, and when he found out the truth, the anguish and regret he felt seemed so real. He couldn't bear it at all.
Thankfully, it was all a dream.
In reality, he and Kendall were fine, and so was their baby.
Their baby was the firstborn of her generation and a girl to boot. She was going to be pampered and cherished by the entire family. No such tragedy would happen to her!
Kendall and her baby were brought to their ward.
The baby fell asleep after drinking a bit of milk.
All of the Coleman men squeezed together in front of the baby's cot, and those who managed to score the front-row positions stared unblinkingly at the baby.
Although newborn babies hadn't fully grown into their looks, in these men's eyes, the baby was the cutest and most gorgeous baby they had ever seen.
By morning, all of Orapolis heard about Kendall giving birth to a daughter in the middle of the night.
The congratulatory calls didn't cease throughout the day.
Everyone commented on how lucky Kendall was. Daughters were prized in the Coleman Family. They heard that those who gave birth to a daughter were rewarded with 70 million.
Emma and Toddy, the newlyweds barely two months into their marriage, didn't even bother going to work and rushed to the hospital at once.
Frank and Amelia came over in a hurry too.
The Woodses had also received word and made their way to the hospital.
While the reporters were dying to get the first scoop, no one dared to disturb Kendall, so they could only report that she had given birth to a daughter without giving any further details.
Kendall was a lot more energetic after having slept a few hours.
It had been a natural birth, but she was already able to sit up.
When her friends came over, she was sitting up in bed with the baby in her arms. Dylan was sitting beside her as they both stared adoringly at the baby.
"Congratulations, you two."
Emma and Amelia were all smiles as they came in together and offered their congratulations.
They quickly came over to take a look at their goddaughter.
"She's so cute!" Amelia complimented.
Her features looked familiar—similar to the baby Frank had drawn.
Amelia didn't expect the baby Frank drew to look so much like the baby who was born.
"Of course. Our goddaughter can't be anything but adorable."
Frank came over to look at the baby too. His eyes softened as he stared at the sleeping baby.
It's the baby girl. I finally got to see the real baby girl. She's just as cute as I imagined. She looks like Kendall. And, a bit like Dylan.
"Kendall, can I hold the baby?" Amelia asked.
Kendall generously allowed her friend to hold her daughter.
Amelia carefully cradled the baby and said with a smile, "I've never held such a small baby before."
"That's enough holding for now."
Dylan could tell that Frank was about to swoop in to hold the baby too, so he immediately took the baby back into his arms.
Frank eyed him. "Why won't you let me hold her, you petty man?"
"This is my daughter," Dylan gloated. "If you like babies so much, hurry up and propose to Amelia. The sooner you get married, the sooner you can have a baby of your own to play with."
Well, that was indeed what Frank wanted, but alas, he and Amelia had only just officially confirmed their relationship.
It would be a while before he could get married and have a baby of his own.
Furthermore, there was no guarantee that their child would be a daughter.
Nevertheless, Frank was satisfied. His relationship with Amelia got better with every day and they were happy together.
Both sets of the baby's godparents had prepared a gold necklace for her.
She was showered with gifts from the moment she was born.
Kendall still needed her rest, so Dylan chased Frank and the others away soon after.
The rest of the Colemans had tactfully gone home as well.
Only Emily and Charlotte couldn't bear to leave yet.
However, they wisely went out for a walk to let the two new parents have some alone time. This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.
When the room was quiet once more, Kendall lay down on the bed with the baby. One could say that she was regaining the baby she had lost. She stared at the baby without even blinking as she didn't want to miss a single second.
"It's our baby, darling. Our baby came back."
Dylan nodded affectionately.
He sat on the bed and stared lovingly at his wife and daughter.
Kendall kissed the baby's cheek and said affectionately, "Baby, this time, I'll protect you. I won't let you suffer ever again."
Dylan put his arm around Kendall's shoulders and stared at the baby too as he promised, "Honey, as long as I'm around, you two will be my greatest treasures. I won't show any mercy to anyone who hurts either one of you."
For some reason, the baby suddenly started crying.
Kendall quickly picked her daughter up.
As soon as the baby was in her mother's arms, she stopped crying and opened her eyes to look at Kendall.
A newborn baby couldn't see properly, but the fact that her eyes seemed to be staring at Kendall made the latter's heart melt anyway.
She couldn't resist bending down to kiss the baby again.
"Thank you, baby. Thank you for coming back to me. I love you. I love you so much. You'll be such a blessed baby in this life. You have Mommy and Daddy and Grandma and Grandpa and all your uncles who love you very much."
That's right, the baby agreed. I got a good life this time around! I'll get to experience what it's like to be the most pampered princess!
Dylan prepared the baby formula and brought it over.
Kendall took the bottle and fed the baby.
The baby was hungry, and after drinking some milk, she fell back asleep.
Kendall couldn't bear to set the baby down.
Dylan sat beside Kendall and stretched his arms to embrace his wife and daughter. They meant the world to him.
The family of three was reunited at last. It was sweet and touching to see them all together.
May everyone find happiness and live a joyful life!
The end.
