“Hey, I saw on TV that when the female lead is giving birth, the family cheers
her on. Should we shout words of encouragement for Mackenzie too?”
Beatrix’s out–of–the–box thinking left Emmanuel and Terence completely
stumped.
“Come on, let’s all do it together!” Beatrix insisted, trying her best to rally
everyone outside the delivery room.
“If you won’t, I will!” Suddenly, Quintus appeared, having rushed over as soon
as he learned Mackenzie was in labor. He shouted loudly, “Mackenzie, you got
this! Once your baby is born, I’ll treat him like my own!”
What the heck?! This guy has to be out of his mind.
If it weren’t for the fact that the birth of his child was such a joyous occasion,
Emmanuel would have already punched Quintus.
Thankfully, Laura poked her head out of the delivery room just then, coldly

scolding. “The woman in labor hasn’t made a peep, and here you all are
yelling? Don’t any of you have a shred of common sense? Quiet down!”

Quintus and Beatrix instantly lowered their heads, looking like children caught
misbehaving.
Moments later, the sound of a baby’s cries filled the air. Emmanuel, who had
been holding his breath the entire time, finally let out a sigh of relief. It had been about ten hours, but it felt like an eternity–more nerve–wracking than
any battle he’d ever fought.
Everyone around him also breathed easier. Even Rhett, who had been
stationed outside, cracked a small smile. Has the Saintess given birth to an
heir, or does the Commander–in–Chief now have a successor? he wondered.
Only Quintus seemed completely oblivious to the tension, laughing heartily. “Ha! The baby’s here! My goddess had a child; I’ve got to see him!”
“Stop right there!” Eve blocked his path at the door.

Even Felicity couldn’t hold back from scolding him. “Quintus, what’s wrong
with you? The baby’s birth father is standing right here. What are you so
worked up about? Wait your turn!”
Quintus, undeterred, grinned. “I love Mackenzie more than he does, so of
course, I’m more anxious than him!”
Lexi rolled her eyes. Compared to Quintus‘ wild words, Beatrix’s earlier
comment didn’t seem all that outlandish anymore.
“Congratulations, it’s a boy!” Laura emerged holding a newborn baby. His hair
was still damp, his face flushed, but he was undeniably adorable.
Emmanuel immediately took the baby into his arms.
“Congratulations, sir, on your new son!”
“Emmanuel, you’re a dad now! How does it feel? Come on, tell us!”
“Congrats, the love between you and Ms. Quillen has finally produced this
little one!”

Everyone offered their congratulations. Emmanuel couldn’t hide his emotions,
his heart brimming with joy. He immediately brought the baby over to
Terence Quillen, saying, “Grandpa, look! I’ve completed my mission. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
Mackenzie gave birth to a boy!”
“Yes, I knew it!” Terence was already in tears, his hands trembling as he
hesitated to touch the baby, afraid his old hands might hurt the delicate skin.
“I knew Mackenzie would break the Quillen family curse and give us a son! He
may have been born a bit early, but he looks healthy. This is wonderful!”
He then turned to Emmanuel with approval in his eyes. “I knew I didn’t
misjudge you. You may be a little spineless, but you still accomplished the
task I gave you!”
Emmanuel chuckled awkwardly.
Eve glared at Terence. How dare you call the Wolf Warrior spineless?!
“Why doesn’t he look like me at all? He’s totally Emmanuel’s kid!” Quintus
lamented, clutching his head in disappointment.

“Get him out of here, now!” Felicity finally lost her patience and barked the
order.
Eve quickly summoned Rhett and Sunny to escort Quintus away before he
said anything more ridiculous. Emmanuel’s baby should look like him, not
some buffoon like Quintus!
“Grandpa, have you thought of a name for him?” Emmanuel asked
respectfully, wanting Terence’s input.
Terence let out a long sigh. Though he had imagined this moment countless
times over the years, he simply smiled and said, “No, the baby’s name is for
you and Mackenzie to decide.”
“Should he take the Quillen name or the Lowe name?” Felicity, being
Mackenzie’s mother in name, asked with curiosity.
Beatrix’s big eyes blinked expectantly at Terence, knowing this was a
question that concerned both the Lowe and Quillen families. Everyone was

waiting for the answer.
