Chapter 1 – The Blessing Of Our Lives
It was late in the evening when Joly and Bossuet woke from Musichetta's shivering.
She was pregnant with the trio's child and was close to her due date.
Musichetta tried to keep her whimpers soft, but didn't succeed.
''Chetta?'' Joly asked with a yawn.
Chetta's answer was a whimper.
''Hey, what's wrong?'' Bossuet asked worried.
Joly flicked the light on and looked down at Chetta, whose face was scrunched up.
Joly looked up at Bossuet.
''I think it has started.'' Joly whispered as he took a hold of Chetta's hand.
Bossuet looked shocked as Joly started to tend to Chetta.
17 hours later
Chetta was breathing heavily as Joly checked his newly born daughter over.
Seventeen hours of labour had taken it out of Chetta and Bossuet just held her close.
Joly brought their daughter to Chetta and Bossuet and joined them on the bed.
''I'm so proud of you.'' Joly whispered in Chetta's ear.
Chetta gave him a tired smile and held their daughter close.
Bossuet stroked the little girl's head, still not believing he really was a father now.
''What do we call her?'' Bossuet asked.
Joly shrugged, but Chetta answered.
''Mary Rose Duchamps…'' She whispered.
Joly smiled softly and kissed Chetta's cheek.
''Beautiful.'' He whispered.
Both Joly and Chetta looked at Bossuet when he didn't answer.
Bossuet had tears in his eyes as he kissed his daughter's head.
"Hello, little Mary Rose.'' He whispered as Joly and Chetta shared a loving smile.
