Cold Showers — Chapter 98

A month after Jayda and Seb's wedding, Jayda and her friends started a tradition which they've kept till date.

Sebastian, Jayda, Lilian, Roman, Caleb, Michela, Gabriel and their children had dinner together every last Friday of the month. And this time, it was Sebastian and Jayda's turn to host their friends.

Chapter Fifty Two

Second Epilogue.

"Heyyy." Jayda smiled as soon as she saw Sebastian walk into the kitchen with Ariella in his arms.

"It smells divine in here," Seb said as he approached Jayda and kissed her lips which made Ariella giggle.

"Dada, Ariella wants a kiss." She pointed to her cheeks. Sebastian chuckled and then placed a kiss on her cheeks.

"How was work, babes?" He wrapped an arm around Jayda's waist and kissed her cheek.

"Fine. Yours?" She wiped her hands with a napkin, turning her attention to him afterwards.

"Fine too. I called you this evening but you didn't answer your call."

"Sorry, my phone has been in my bag since I left the office."

"It's fine, Lilian called to tell me they would be arriving early. They should be here anytime soon."

"Thank God the food is ready. I only have to set the dining table."

"You hungry, princess?" Jayda asked her daughter who was still in her husband's arms.

Ariella shook her head.

"You have to eat something, my love." Sebastian persuaded.

"Cookies." She smiled.

"No way!" Jayda said.

Ariella pouted.

"Stella said you persuaded her to eat her lunch. I think you have to use the same trick on her to have dinner." Jayda said to Seb.

"I'm sure she will be tempted to eat when our guests arrive," Sebastian assured.

"Princess, Daddy has to go take a shower," Seb said to Ariella. "Do you mind staying with mommy or Aaron?" He said.

"I want Dada." She responded and rested her head on his shoulder.

Jayda chuckled, her daughter seemed to forget about everyone else when Seb was around.

"Come Ella, Daddy has to go take a shower." Jayda persuaded her but she refused to come to her. She smiled at both Father and daughter. "You two will be fine. I have to set up the table."

Jayda smiled when the sound of the doorbell came through. She was certain it was Lily, Roman and her precious goddaughter, Lenora.

"Hi guys," She smiled as soon as she opened the door and then she reached for Lenora who was in Roman's arms.

Lily and Roman walked in and shut the door behind them.

"I missed you, my love, Do you miss me too?"

Lenora smiled and continued to blabber baby words.

Jayda smiled and kissed her chubby cheeks. "She's growing up so fast."

"I know," Lilian chuckled, "Time flies, It was just like yesterday when I gave birth to her."

Jayda gave Lily a side hug and then did the same to Roman before they all made their way to the living room.

Aaron and Ariella screamed for joy as soon as they sighted Lenora.

Jayda gently placed Lenora in Ariella's former baby walker so the three of them will play together.

While Seb and Roman monitored the kids, Lilian and Jayda went to the kitchen to catch up. It has been over a week since they've seen each other so they have so much to catch up on.

Soon enough, Gabriel, Caleb and Michaela arrived. Michaela and Caleb were already engaged and she was four months pregnant with Caleb's baby.

They proceeded to the dining table and had dinner. The meal was delicious and they made funny conversations in between.

"Mommy, can Me and Ariella have a baby brother?" Aaron asked out of the blue and everyone on the table looked at him surprised with smiles on their faces except for Jayda who almost choked on her food. Sebastian came to her rescue by handing her a glass of water.

"Ariella, You want a baby brother right?" Aaron asked Ella who was seated on a high chair beside Jayda, devouring a Small chicken.

She was too busy to speak so she nodded.

"Please Daddy? Can we have a baby brother?" Aaron directed his plea to Seb this time around.

"Wow, Wow, wow," Caleb said and all the adults on the table burst into laughter except for Seb and Jayda who were thinking of what to say.

Sebastian definitely wanted more kids but he and Jayda had not brought up the issue about baby number three."

Jayda, on the other hand, shook her head in disbelief. She wondered when Aaron and Ariella discussed having a baby brother.

"Mommy and I will think about it okay?" Sebastian assured.

Aaron nodded and went back to his food.

The rest of the dinner was filled with funny talks without unexpected questions. They had dessert and the men offered to clear the table.

When it was almost nine, Lenora fell asleep. Aaron and Ariella started feeling sleepy too.

Lilian assisted Jayda in taking Aaron and Ariella's bath and putting them to bed.

Then they came back to the living room to continue their adult conversation. They ended up planning a vacation to Sebastian's holiday house in the Bahamas.

At 10:30 pm, they hugged each other and said their goodbyes.
