“Aww… my love,” Jayden smiled and hugged his partner. “I love seeing how you care about everyone.”
“That’s why I’m telling you, let me help you with the house expenses. And if you ever feel you need it, don’t hesitate to ask me to support you with the company, okay?”
“Alright, but… honestly, I don’t like the Idea because I feel like I’m failing as the man of the house.”
“You’re not failing because this is a situation nobody asked for, but I know you’ll get through it soon,” she said, leaning in to kiss him on the lips.
Jayden smiled softly, though they couldn’t continue talking about the subject because the kids entered the room, greeting him with a hug.
Deborah smiled at their interaction, but her smile faded for a moment as she worried about how the problems were stressing Jayden out. She didn’t like seeing him this way, but she understood he was thinking about all those who depended on the company, which was why he was feeling this way.
Unfortunately, Cooper Construction started facing a lot of problems. Sales began to decline, and to top it off, the new construction company started stealing their clients, calling them and offering better prices to get them to do their projects with their company instead.
That new construction company had launched an aggressive attack plan because they wanted to make a name for themselves in the market quickly.
For Deborah, this was a red flag. She knew such actions in a company were counterproductive. If their materials were cheap and they weren’t offering quality to their clients, it would lead to problems in the future.
That’s why she advised Jayden to continue doing their work as usual without changing anything, as she trusted they would recover soon enough.
While waiting for that miracle, Jayden and Eric started looking for other alternatives, but there didn’t seem to be a solution. Some clients canceled their contracts because the competition offered them a more economical price.
Because of all these problems, the kids noticed that their dad was sometimes very tired and upset… but they tried to cheer him up and make him smile.
Slowly, Jayden’s cheerfulness began to fade, and sadly, the little joy the birth of the twins brought was overshadowed by terrible news.
That day was a Saturday, and everyone was at home playing in the garden when, out of nowhere, Deborah started feeling labor pains.
The children panicked when they saw their mom bleeding, but their grandparents calmed them down while Jayden carried his wife and rushed to the hospital
They arrived first, as Eric and Samantha took longer because they had to explain to their grandchildren what had happened and grab the diaper bag with the twins‘ clothes.
After several painful and torturous hours for Deborah.. they welcomed a beautiful little girl with brown hair and hazel eyes, along with a cute blonde boy with hazel eyes.

“My little siblings are so cute,” Ellie said, looking at the babies once everyone was settled in the hospital
room.
“They’re so small,” James said in awe.
“You were just like this,” Deborah said, noticing her son had reached out his hand which was quickly grasped by the tiny hands of his new little sister., Nicole
“My little siblings are so cute, and Michael is a mini daddy,” Ellie declared excitedly.
“That’s right, honey, Michael is a copy of my baby,” Samantha said, smitten with her new little grandson, feeling like she was seeing her son all over again.
“Both of them got your eyes today,” Eric said, patting his son’s shoulder.
“I see that,” Jayden said, smiling as he gazed at his twins.
“That makes me unique because only I have Mommy’s eyes,” Elizabeth said happily, making the adults laugh.
“They’re all perfect in their own way,” Deborah said, looking at the smiles and joy of her little ones.
“That’s right,” Jayden said, looking lovingly at his kids.
Just as he moved to pick up Nicole, his phone started ringing.
Jayden grimaced and took out his phone.
“Don’t answer it, Daddy,” Elizabeth pleaded.
“Sorry, love, it’s work. I’ll be right back,” he said, answering the call and stepping away from the bed so as not to disturb his children.
Lock”
“It’s okay, dear, he’ll be right back,” Eric reassured her.
“Sometimes work needs attention,” Samantha commented.
“Hm…” James made a face because lately, his dad had been very busy. He had even seen him angry and frustrated… something he didn’t like.
“What? What do you mean bankrupt?!” Jayden suddenly shouted, startling the newborn twins who cried their lungs out.
