The Imposter Bride (Natalia and Magnus)

Hector could tell he hadn't quite had his fill, but with Bianca fretting over their wailing child, she bit her lip with a troubled expression and whispered, "Hurry up, the baby's crying."

"Alright, wait for me." To prevent Bianca from being distracted, Hector simply bent down and planted a gentle kiss on her lips, shielding her from the sight of her worry. "Wah, wah, wah!"

Hector stumbled, nearly toppling over. Fine! It seemed like devil number two had joined the fray! The children were like conspirators, crying in turns. Their voices were amplifying until it felt like the bedroom walls were about to crumble!

"Honey, move!" Bianca's heart ached for her little treasures. She couldn't wait any longer and tried to get up from beneath Hector.

Hector quickly sped up. "No way, Bee, let them cry a bit! If I get distracted now, I'll be useless, and do you want to live a life devoid of pleasure?"

The kids, seeing their parents weren't coming yet, ramped up their crying once more.

Bianca was nearly sent soaring by Hector's vigorous movements.

Ten minutes later, with their two treasures nearly cried out, Hector finally paused. He contentedly wrapped his arms around Bianca lying on the carpet and headed towards the bathroom. Before he could finish showering, Bianca, though exhausted, already lifted their two spent little ones.

Hector, wrapped in a towel and still catching his breath, took one of them and, with a light smack on the child's bottom, grumbled, "You little rascal, just wait until you're older. I'll teach you a lesson!" "Hey, can't you be gentler? What if you hurt the baby!" Bianca scolded, caressing her child's tender little behind, "Don't cry, sweetheart. We won't play with Daddy, okay?"

Hector immediately felt slighted. "Honey, how can you be so partial? You never comfort me like that."

Just as Bianca was about to retort, the doorbell echoed from downstairs, prompting her to nudge Hector. "Go check it out, someone's here."

Hector casually dressed. "So what? We have staff for that." Though he said this, Hector still made his way quickly out of the bedroom and down the stairs.

As Hector descended the staircase, he was greeted by the cheerful voice of Jonas. "Hi Uncle Hector!"

"Oh, it's Jonas, welcome, welcome." Hector quickly approached, lifting Jonas up in a bear hug. "Wow, look at you, growing up fast!"

"That's right, I'm practically an adult now!" Jonas boasted with a tilt of his chin before asking, "Uncle Hector, we came to see your new babies. My Mom and Dad are with me."

Right on cue, Natalia and Magnus walked in. Natalia's presence brightened the entire living room. Magnus handed the fruit basket he was carrying to the maid and nodded at Hector as a greeting. He didn't want to come, really, but couldn't win against his wife and son, so he took on the role of chauffeur and porter to bring them over.

Ever since he had kids, Hector had been in a great mood and no longer held grudges against Magnus. Hector cheerfully hollered, "Magnus, good to see you! Have a seat."

"Hmph," Magnus grunted and sat on the couch with a stony face. Hector could smile as brightly as he liked, but Magnus remembered the days when Hector had eyes for his lady!

Natalia pinched Magnus discreetly, hissing through clenched teeth, "We're here to visit, not to create a scene! Smile for heaven's sake!"

Magnus winced but, following his wife's command, managed a grimace that looked more like a pained expression than a smile.

Yes, Magnus knew he was petty, but how could he be gracious with a former rival who once coveted his wife?

Natalia took her seat, smiling at Hector. "Hector, I've been so busy lately that I haven't had a chance to visit Bee and your little ones. I hope you don't mind."

"Hey, no worries at all! We're all busy being fabulous, aren't we?" Hector boasted unapologetically, then turned to climb the stairs. "I'll go call Bee and bring the kids down. She'll be thrilled to see you!" With that, Hector bounded up the stairs and out of sight.

Soon after, he and Bianca appeared, each cradling a baby in their arms. As Jonas spotted the cherubic little ones in Hector and Bianca's arms, he rushed forward, his excitement palpable. "Uncle Hector, can I hold them, please?"

"Jonas, no, you don't know how to hold a baby," Natalia admonished, shaking her head at her son's eagerness.

Hector, however, had already extended his son toward Jonas. "No worries, Jonas is big enough to handle it. Here, give it a try."

Jonas gleefully spread his arms, mimicking Hector's hold, and carefully took the baby, turning to Natalia with pride. "Mom, look, I can hold a baby!"

Natalia chuckled at her son's boastful expression. "Yes, yes, you're amazing, superstar!"

Holding the little one like a precious treasure, Jonas looked at Hector and asked, "Uncle Hector, what are their names?"

"Oh, we're just calling them Biggie and Small for now. They don't have real names yet. How about you come up with one?" Hector said casually. Jonas took the task seriously, studied the baby in his arms, and suggested, "Uncle Hector, how about we call him Mateo, what do you think?"

Hector, who had only made a casual remark, found himself unexpectedly considering Jonas' suggestion.

Liking Jonas' choice, Hector turned to Bianca, seeking agreement. "Honey, what do you think of that name?"

"Hmm, Mateo, it's a strong name, I like it. Wow, look at our little Harvard graduate!" Bianca teased Jonas with a laugh.

Then she turned to him. "Jonas, I still need a name for my baby girl. Think you could come up with one for her, too?"

"Sure," Jonas hadn't expected his naming suggestion to be taken so seriously, and he perked up with enthusiasm, brainstorming the next name. "How about we name the boy Mateo, and the girl... let's call her Celeste. What do you think?"

"Hmm, those are really nice!" Bianca nodded in approval, then glanced over at Natalia, who was sitting beside her. "Natalia, we've been wracking our brains trying to come up with the right names for the kids. Hector and I just couldn't land on anything that felt right. And Jonas comes up with these amazing names right off the bat-he's got a real knack for this."
