Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance

Mia tried to reassure Molly, "Hey, delays are totally normal. Remember how Henry didn't show up on his due date either? Our kids just love keeping us on our toes, catching us off guard with their surprises."

Molly, clearly exasperated, asked, "Why's he gotta be so rebellious?"

Mia chuckled, "He gets it from his mom."

Molly shot back, "Can't he inherit anything good from me?"

Leo, dropping by for his usual visit, chimed in with a grin, "Do you have any traits worth passing down?"

Molly paused, genuinely stumped for a moment, before turning to her husband. "Chad, what are my good qualities?"

Officer Chad coughed awkwardly, "Uh, the doctor just called me to discuss something. I'll be right back."

Molly playfully groaned, "You're all gonna drive me crazy."

With Mia and Leo teasing Jade, the room burst into laughter, lightening the tense mood.

Meanwhile, Henry was at the office with his dad, as everyone had been focused on his aunt lately. In the office, Henry was in full mischief mode-running, rolling, leaving his shoes scattered all over, tossing sofa cushions, tearing up magazines, and burying his LEGO blocks in the dirt, thinking they'd grow. He even used his dad's globe as a soccer ball. After a tumble, he fake-cried a bit, but when his dad didn't react, he got back up to continue his antics.

Andre peeked through the door, amused by his little troublemaker. Despite the chaos, Henry was clearly having a blast.

Noah walked in, momentarily stunned by the mess before accepting the chaos. "Boss, should I call the cleaning crew?"

Andre, eyes still on his contract, replied, "Nah, wait until he's done with his fun." True enough, Henry kept the antics going.

By three in the afternoon, Andre carried his little tornado out, telling his secretary, "Could you tidy up office? His LEGO's in the dirt,

globe's flattened, and there he

are

paper scraps under the sofa. Oh, and see if you can find his missing shoe."

Noah glanced at Henry, noticing he had only one shoe on, and then at Henry, who gave him a big, cheeky smile. Off he went to see his mom!

At the hospital, the reunion between mother and son was heartwarming. Mia hugged her little one, showering him with kisses, "You cried last night, and Andre wouldn't let you see me, huh?"

"Mama," Henry said, looking all pitiful.

"Oh my goodness, why are you only wearing one shoe? Did Andre not take care of you while I was away?"noveldrama

Hearing his mom's concerned tone, Henry played along, pretending his dad had been mean to him.

Andre gave his son a knowing look, then checked on his sister's status. With his nephew causing a ruckus, he felt a bit more relaxed.

That evening, Andre took his son and father back to the Cedillo family home.

A week overdue now, Chad, feeling anxious, asked the doctor, "What's our next step?"

The doctor advised, "Let's wait another week. If nothing happens, we might have to consider a C-section."

The thought of surgery made everyone nervous.

And that fear was enough to kickstart Jade's labor.

As Jade was writhing in pain, her friends were in a flurry, making calls, "Honey, get to the hospital, Molly's in labor" "Leo, let's move!" "olly's starting labor!"
