BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1547 - Welcome To The White Twins

In the VIP room…
JoAnna returned from the operating room after her c-section which went well. Emma and Imani assisted the ObGyn in delivering two healthy babies. And there were a number of other medical workers as well.
Sarah, Aiden, Sophia, Felix, Stella, and Edward are in the room with JoAnna and Jeff.
Emma and Imani are helping midwives with examining and washing the babies. Extra checkups are needed because they are born one month before their due date, but luckily, their oxygen levels are normal, so the newborns will not stay in the incubator.
JoAnna is telling everyone how during the surgery Jeff nearly fainted, twice, and half of the staff in the operating room was making sure he does not collapse over JoAnna or some other important equipment.
Jeff laughed with everyone. He is glad that it\'s over, and JoAnna is fine, and they have two babies!
"Did we arrive on time?", Elanor asked from the door. Oscar was two steps behind her.
"Yes, you are on time.", JoAnna responded because Jeff\'s mood fell significantly and his lips pressed firmly into a line told her that he is not willing to talk to his parents.
Elanor looked at Jeff. "Did something happen?"
JoAnna squeezed Jeff\'s hand while coming up with an excuse for Elanor: "He is under stress because he was in the operating room with me. And we didn\'t sleep well in the last few days due to excitement."
Elanor laughed. "Ah, soon you will realize what sleep deprivation is." She moved toward the nurses and was peeking on the side while trying to see her grandchildren.
JoAnna saw that Sarah is also holding onto Aiden and silently telling him to calm down.
Aiden and Jeff are having difficulty suppressing their displeasure.
The two White brothers spoke about confronting their parents related to the Voronin family more than once, and every time they were back to the same outcome: no matter what their parents say, they will not believe them.
If they confront their parents, and they are involved in it, there is a chance that they will alert the people who know something. That is why Aiden and Jeff agreed that for now, the two of them will pretend that they don\'t know anything about Voronins while they do their own investigation. But no matter how much they spoke about it, they are finding it difficult to pretend to be ignorant now when they are facing their Oscar and Elanor.
Since they started suspecting that their parents are connected to the Voronin family, Aiden is checking the backgrounds of the people in the White foundation and the White corp. and giving a list of suspects to Jeff. From there, Jeff takes over in investigating people with the help of a few people from the Army of Chaos because Jeff can\'t trust anyone from the White family.
How ironic. He inherited a massive company and an organization, and he can\'t trust them.
So far, they eliminated a number of people for which they confirmed that they were in contact with the people from the Voronin family. Unfortunately, Jeff didn\'t find anything conclusive related to Elanor or Oscar, but most of those people were close to Oscar, so it all points to the scenario where their parents are part of it.
Aiden and Jeff feel like they are assembling a puzzle from the edges and are still missing the center.
Sarah and JoAnna are happy that Jeff and Aiden are going through this together. In a way, two brothers are keeping each other sane and preventing a total meltdown. Jeff and Aiden were never this close, and Hill sisters and Felix got their backs.
Luckily, Stella and Edward started talking to Elanor and Oscar, so Jeff and Aiden had extra time to compose themselves.
The nurses ended their work with newborns, bundled them in blankets, and gave them to their parents.
JoAnna is holding the boy, and Jeff is holding the girl. Jeff sat on the chair next to JoAnna\'s bed and he is kissing her occasionally while whispering something only for her to hear. The two of them are both grinning and it is a wonderful sight to see even though Jeff\'s hair is a mess, and JoAnna\'s face is drained from color.
"Did you decide on the names?", Stella asked.
Stella and Edward arrived that morning, while JoAnna was in the surgery, and they didn\'t have any time to talk about the names before.
JoAnna nodded and glanced at Jeff.
Jeff cleared his throat and spoke in an official voice while angling his arms so that everyone can see the baby girl in his arms: "May I have your attention? I want you to meet… Alice White."
"Waah!", everyone cheered and clapped in unison.
All eyes were on JoAnna, expecting her to reveal the name of the boy in her hands.
JoAnna smiled. "And meet… Jayden White."
"Waah!", cheers and claps filled the room.
Grandmothers wanted to hold the babies first.
Bridgette and Steve arrived, and shortly after them Tiffany, Penny, and Ben with their one month old baby Oliver. Soon after, Leah, Pam, Charlie, Ellie, and Jasper came to visit the new parents and to meet the newborns. It was lively.
Emma found a chance to talk to Sarah and Aiden. "I want to thank you for creating the opportunity for us to meet our father."
Sarah smiled. She and Aiden know that capo and his men are still staying in the building they arranged for them and so far, they didn\'t create trouble. "I assume things are good?"
Emma confirmed. "Things are still a bit stiff, but we all agree that Angelo is a good man. Charlie likes him, and Mike introduced him to Tiffany. Sean and Ryan are planning to go and visit him next month. They are looking forward to a vacation in Sicily. So far, things are good."
Sarah was happy to hear this. "Will you go and visit Angelo?"
Emma smiled. "Charlie needs to see when he can take some time off, but we will go this year."
"What about your mom?", Sarah asked reluctantly.
Emma\'s mood dropped slightly. "My mom gave twenty years of her life to me and my brothers, making sure we grow up, and now she found an opportunity to focus on herself. I don\'t blame her but I can\'t accept it fully either. It\'s a process, for all of us. Jarred started transferring the other part of their family business to Charlie. It seems that my mom and Jarred are planning to travel and live carefreely."
Sarah understood that the \'other part\' of the Smith family business is illegal trade with weapons. It seems that when they need more helicopters, they will negotiate with Charlie only.
Sarah turned to see that Aiden is not by her side anymore. She found him sitting in a rocking chair and holding Alice. He is smiling and cooing and doing all the things a caring father would do. A bittersweet emotion filled her heart and she forced those feelings to disperse. This is not the time to think about the past.
Sarah took Jayden from Elanor\'s hands and went to sit with Aiden. The rocking chair is extra wide, and she had no problem squeezing next to him.
"Felix, picture, picture!", Sarah demanded.
Felix is the photographer in charge (other than the invisible drones which are silently hovering in the room).
Aiden looked at Sarah and smiled.
"Boy or a girl, what would you like first?", Sarah asked him.
Aiden\'s eyes widened for a second before he broke into a big smile. "Any."
"You will be a wonderful father.", Sarah told him with a voice full of emotions.
Aiden kissed Sarah\'s forehead and continued cooing at Alice. Her little dark locks are peeking out of her hat and she is looking at Aiden with big blue eyes.
Sarah\'s gaze moved on Jayden who is sleeping in her arms. She thought how wonderful it would be one day when she holds her baby. Hers and Aiden\'s.
Sarah\'s smile was frozen while she thought about all the information they found while scouting the Voronin family bases. It is time for the Army of Chaos to take the offensive and clean them up. The first step in gaining their freedom is to weaken the Voronin and the Lebedev families. And they will start. Soon.
