Revenge is Best Served… After Reborn

Just a week ago, Sophie and Jenna were having a good laugh about how those two big guys were totally lost trying to handle a baby.

There they were, standing at the doorway, looking a bit dazed, until they caught sight of Sophie making her way down the stairs. Jenna broke the silence first, "Sophie, where's my little guy?" "Jenna, what brings you out so soon?" Sophie asked, surprised.

"Ugh, that maternity center was so dull and suffocating, I had to escape!" Jenna replied, already moving around with an energy that belied her recent delivery.

"I really didn't realize how much of a handful having a baby could be. Tell Harold to bring my little munchkin over-I'm beat from the trip."

Adler helped Jenna settle onto the living room sofa.noveldrama

Sophie chuckled, "Oh, the baby's not with Harold anymore."

Jenna blinked in confusion. "Wait, he's not with Harold? Then where is he?"

"Harold threw in the towel after just three days. Colby's on baby duty now. He just got the little one to sleep. I'll have him bring the baby down." With that, Sophie dashed upstairs.

Jenna and Adler exchanged bewildered looks, trying to wrap their heads around the fact that Colby was the one babysitting.

Jenna muttered, "Is my son... still in one piece?"

"I'm wondering the same thing..." Adler said with a worried look.

Of all people, why Colby, the one with the fearsome reputation?

When did Colby ever look after a baby? He's more likely to send them packing!

Soon enough, Sophie and Colby came down the stairs.

Jenna's eyes zeroed in on the tiny baby nestled in Colby's arms.

Much to their surprise, the baby was snug and content, not making a peep.

"No way, is he really that chill?" Jenna asked, hardly believing her eyes as she moved closer to check out the baby.

Unlike his a few

"Hey there, little guy, say 'Mama!" Jenna encouraged, trying to coax out a word.

Sophie laughed, "He's much too young to talk yet."

"Oh right, I got ahead of myself."

Jenna gently took her baby from Colby's arms.

Maybe he caught a whiff of his

mom, because his eyes glistenedet

with tears and he clung to Jenna, not wanting to let go.

W?

His eyes seemed to say: Mama! Save me! There's a monster over there! "Oh, what a sweet boy. He really is my son."

Adler stood by, watching Jenna with the baby, and pulled a silly face at his son. The baby didn't cry; instead, he giggled, as if he knew these were his folks.

Sophie quietly glanced over at Colby to see his reaction.

Colby hadn't said much, but his gaze was soft as he looked at the baby.

Sophie whispered, "Colby, do you like boys or girls?"

"Girls."

""Why's that?"

"Because they're like you."

Colby gently squeezed Sophie's hand.

Sophie laughed, "I heard you've been diving into baby books and even studying obstetrics. What's up with that Planning to deliver our baby yourself?"

"I just... don't want you to be in pain."
