Chapter 2

Emma stepped outside the room, leaving Aurora and Luna to share their intimate moment. Tension and sadness marked her expression as she gazed at the moon and murmured, "Why are you like this, son?" She decided to make a call, and as someone answered on the other end, she said, "It's a girl."

On the line, a sobbing voice responded. Emma, attempting to lighten the mood, declared, "We are grandma and grandpa now, Andrew." Amidst sobs, Andrew acknowledged her, referring to her as his "old lady." Emma, feigning anger, retorted,"Don't call me old, you old man! I'm still young and sexy." A playful exchange followed, with Andrew chuckling at Emma's spirited response.

Meanwhile, at a bar, a 35-year-old man named Alex drowned his sorrows in alcohol.The news of becoming a father to a girl did not sit well with him, evident by the glass slipping from his hand. Displeased, Alex's friends attempted to console him, emphasizing the importance of a boy in continuing the family legacy. Angered, Alex abruptly stood, left the bar, and drove home.

Arriving at a grand mansion, Alex stumbled out of his car, making his way inside.

Disheveled, he tossed his coat aside and slumped onto the sofa. The maid informed him that Mrs. Emma was searching for him, expressing concern and urging him to go to the hospital. Responding to this, Alex rose and headed toward his room. The butler, Max, instructed the maid to provide food for Alex. Max, despite being the smallest among the staff, earned his position due to his sincerity and problem-solving skills.Approaching Alex's room, Max knocked, and Alex, seemingly eager for company, quickly opened the door and pulled Max inside. They embraced, and Max, unruffled by the unexpected gesture, comforted Alex, patting his hair. "Come, sit and eat now. I know you're hungry. Come, eat," Max encouraged, offering solace in the midst of Alex's emotional turmoil.

In the opulent dining room, Max served a hearty meal as Alex reluctantly picked at his food. The silence was broken by Max's gentle voice, "Sir, becoming a father is a great blessing. A daughter is a precious gift. She'll bring joy and warmth to your life." Alex, still grappling with his emotions, sighed deeply.

As the night unfolded, Emma continued her conversation with Andrew, attempting to ease his worries about being a grandfather. Andrew, while sobbing, shared his concerns about parenthood. Emma reassured him, playfully bantering about their age.

Despite the distance, the bond between the two generations echoed through the telephone lines

Back at the hospital, Aurora and Luna basked in the quiet moments of motherhood, unaware of the intricacies unfolding beyond their room. The night held a tapestry of emotions - the joy of new life, the weight of unspoken worries, and the threads of connection weaving through the lives of those touched by this singular moment.
