Chapter 299
Ever since Charlie got married, he didn’t have as much time to play with the children in the family. As a result, the children missed Charlie more and were very curious about the baby in Claire’s belly.
During Christmas, all the children in the family came back. Even Bryce and Ramona brought their two sons back. So, a large group of children all ran to Claire, curiously observing the unborn baby still in its mother’s womb.
However, Charlie wouldn’t allow the children to look for too long. After all, children were playful, and there were so many of them. What if they accidentally pushed Claire?
He only gave the children two minutes before chasing them away. He quickly isolated all of them three feet away from Claire and wouldn’t allow them to get any closer.
The rest of the family also understood Charlie’s idea. They would call their children over and educate them seriously.
Fortunately, the children in the Carter family loved all their siblings very much and knew that the baby in Claire’s belly was also their future younger sibling. They were careful whenever they approached Claire and would even stop running and walk carefully around her.
The adults had told them not to run around Claire and not to push her. Pregnant women might miscarry if they fell down, and a miscarriage would kill the baby in Claire’s womb.
Claire felt very warm and happy when she saw how everyone was taking care of her and how many people in the Carter family were looking forward to the birth of her baby. The Carter family was really a warm and happy big family. The atmosphere here was completely different from that of the Jones family.
Occasionally, Claire would still think of Lydia. She couldn’t help but wonder that if Lydia was still alive, she’d definitely be happy to see how well the Carter family treated her.
On Christmas night, the chef prepared a sumptuous dinner, and Charlie also personally cooked her favorite dishes.
After the meal, everyone went to watch the fireworks together. The Carter family prepared a lot of fireworks. After all, there were children in the family who liked lively activities and watching beautiful fireworks.
But Claire didn’t expect that she would suddenly have contractions while setting off the fireworks. She was about to give birth.
Almost the next second, Charlie noticed something was wrong with her and rushed over immediately. Then, the entire Carter family was in chaos. Nobody was in the mood for Christmas anymore. They were all anxious but were quick. They drove Claire to the hospital immediately.
Debra quickly called Stacey.
Since getting married, Stacey and Hayden took turns going to Carter Villa and Hoggard Manor during Christmas. It was their turn to celebrate Christmas at Hoggard Manor this year, so they weren’t at Carter Villa.
At Hoggard Manor, Stacey suddenly received a call from Debra, She was surprised to learn that Claire was about to give birth.
Hayden, who was still setting off fireworks with the children, was stunned when he heard Stacey’s surprised voice and then smiled. He stood up and approached Jack to ask him to take care of the five children.
Jack was also a little surprised. He didn’t expect that Claire would give birth on Christmas. But this was a good thing, and he was also happy. So, he immediately agreed to help Hayden take care of the children.
With Jack and Audrey helping to look after the children, Hayden was no longer worried. He immediately took Stacey outside and was about to catch a taxi to the hospital.

“Daddy, Mommy, is Aunt Glaire going to give birth? I want to go too!” Jeremy said seriously as he ran over immediately after hearing them.
Over the past few years, Charlie often played with Jeremy so Jeremy had a very good relationship with him. He also wanted to go over, knowing Claire was going to have a baby.
“I want to go too!” Lillian echoed.
“Me too!” Kevin followed.
Lillian and Kevin soon ran over excitedly. Their eyes glowed with excitement.
Abigail and Aaron were still young, so they didn’t understand what their siblings were saying. But when they heard that their siblings wanted to go together, the two kids clamored to go along as well.
“Why don’t we all go together? It’ll be more lively with more people. It’s a happy occasion anyway, so it won’t be a problem,” Audrey said with a smile.
Jack also said, “Although there are a lot of kids, we’re going together, so it shouldn’t be a problem for each of us to look after one or two of them.”
Stacey smiled. She looked at her parents–in–law and nodded. “Okay, then we’ll go together.”
In reality, when they just got married, Stacey was quite reserved in front of her parents–in–law. But after spending more time together, she found that Jack and Audrey were also easy to get along with. They had good family traditions like the Carter family. Now they got along very well and had a good relationship.
After they made up their minds, they went into the house together to tell Jason and Sharon about it. They were also very happy to hear that Charlie’s wife was going to have a baby. So, they quickly told Stacey and the others to go and not to worry about the house. After discussing everything, they soon set off together.
On the way to the hospital, Stacey was very happy. She couldn’t help but fantasize about what Charlie and Claire’s baby would look like. Would it be a boy or a girl?
Charlie had thought of many names for the baby, including names for boys and girls. All of them were decided after discussing with Claire. It was just that there were too many names that they thought of, and each of them was good, so they couldn’t decide which one to use.
As she was thinking, they soon arrived at the hospital. Stacey led the family all the way to the outside of the delivery room. Upon arriving, Stacey realized that it wasn’t only them who brought the whole family; Adrian and Isabella had brought their two children, and so did Bryce and Ramona, as well as their parents. The whole family was there.
“How’s Claire? How long has it been?” Stacey walked over and couldn’t help asking her mother.
Debra looked at Stacey and then the delivery room, unable to contain her happiness. “She just went in. It may take a while.” As Debra spoke, she looked toward the group of people following behind Stacey, especially Hayden’s parents.
Debra and Patrick weren’t expecting Jack and Audrey to come too. They immediately came over to greet them. Jack and Audrey were also very happy and chatted with them with a smile.
When Yolanda saw Abigail and Aaron had come, she immediately ran over to play with them. They were closer in met one another often, so they had a close relationship.
