With a frigid tone, Mitchel dismissed his attempts to intervene.
“Then stay out of it.
I won’t hesitate to beat you down with him!”
Erick felt a lump form in his throat.
As Mitchel raised his fist once more, Erick could no longer keep silent.
“Stop! It’s not Stefan’s fault.
He never even stayed a single night with Raegan!”
Atst, Erick revealed the truth.
Mitchel’s fist froze in midair, mere inches from Stefan’s face.Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!
With a gentle grip on Mitchel’s hand, Erick leaned in, as he delivered the whole story.

For what felt like an eternity, Mitchel stood motionless, absorbing the theory.
The weight of it all demanded contemtion, and he stood in silence, lost in thought.
Erick, sensing his turmoil, ventured, “Raegan didn’t tell you.
Maybe she had her reasons.
For now, let’s y along.
When she’s ready, she’ll share.
”
Slowly rising from the floor, Stefan, his face marred with bruises, acknowledged his own culpability in Raegan’s plight.
“I bear responsibility for Raegan’s predicament,” he confessed, bracing himself for another barrage of fists.
“Now that the truth is out, let’s settle this with fairness.
I love Raegan, and I won’t surrender without a fight.
” Stefan refused topromise on his love for Raegan, no matter the cost.
As Stefan journeyed to the hospital, he felt as though his very soul was hovering away in the
wind.
Raegan had be intertwined with his being.
Her every move made him anxious.
Mitchel’s gaze turned icy as he rebuffed Stefan’s im.
“You’re not worthy.
”
Just then, the doctor emerged once more, a smile illuminating his face.
“Two healthy baby boys.
Come see for yourselves.
”
Mitchel got up quickly.
“And Raegan?”
“She’s stable.
We’re Lucky she was here on time.
But she’ll need to be monitored for a while,” the doctor reassured.
Relief washed over the group as they awaited Raegan’s emergence.
Yet, as the three men stood at the threshold of the delivery room, none dared to approach the newborns.
The doctor, growing impatient, reminded them, “Who will take the babies?”
Mitchel remained rooted to his spot, steadfast in his vigil for Raegan.
The doctor was at a loss for words.
The twins were adorable, yet no one seemed inclined to hold them.
With a nce at Mitchel’s unmoving figure, Erick sighed.
“I’ll do it.
”
After all, with Mitchel standing guard, he felt reassured about Raegan’s well-being.
Even as Erick wheeled out the stroller, Mitchel couldn’t bring himself to steal a nce at the babies.
Until Raegan was safely by his side, his worries would persist.
