Dawn's brows shot to the roof.

"You were monitoring it?

"

"Yep!

" he said with a smile.

She shook her head.

"Why didn't you tell me?

" She shifted uncomfortably on her place.

"Yes, why didn't you tell us?

" asked Cole with a frown.

Daryn poked a tongue in his cheek. He tilted his head and said,

"Because I wanted this to be a surprise to you as well as others. Neal had found out about all those who were bidding. I know almost all of them in the industry, but I was shocked when I came to know that the Mayor was also there and even more surprised when I found Joshua Barker backing him. I am extremely sure that Doug is also with them, though I couldn't see him anywhere. When they saw you alone, all of them lowered their guards. Since I knew these businessmen, my next step was to know who all backed them and what was their capacity. Once the bidding started, most got filtered at less than twenty billion dollars, but the last few bids that came from the Mayor were pretty intriguing.

"

"Wow!

" Cole said, mesmerized by his brother-in-law. Both he and Dawn thought alike. There was an internal satisfaction that warmed his heart. After their parents, Daryn was the next best thing they had, probably better than his father… probably not…

Not able to find a comfortable position, Dawn stretched her legs over the seat and rested her back on one side.

"So you had this all planned out?

" A smile tugged her lips.

"Of course, my dear!

" he said with a glint in his eyes.

Dawn laughed softly. Gods, she loved this man. And he never failed to surprise her.

"I think the Mayor won't sit quiet.

"

"No he hasn't. In fact he has sent a letter to the party president to remove Gayle from his position.

"

Cole was alert immediately.

"That's nasty! The bastard struck like a two-faced snake.

"

"You bet!

" said Datyn, raking fingers through his hair. He had to pay the price of supporting his wife.

"But I am not that concerned about it, because Gayle isn't here and for how long can we manage to keep our lies. It is better that they let go of him. I have firm belief in my father that the moment he will come, he will easily get back his post! The man has insane support from people.

"

Dawn reached out and took his hand in hers.

"I am sorry…

"

"Hush!

" he said.

"I chose to do what I had to in my situation. What do you think you would have done in a similar situation?

"

Dawn bit her lower lip and then said,

"I would have done the same.

" She squeezed his hand.

"Hey! Even I would have done the same,

" said Cole with a very serious expression. How dare they leave him out of the family?

Daryn roared with laughter.

"Your brother is just like you!

"

Dawn felt like riffling Cole's hair, but she was far from him and now her unease grew.

"So Cole, congratulations to us!

"

"Yes!

" Cole rolled his hands as if they were pom poms. His excitement was infectious.

"Gosh! I have so many plans for it!

" he said.

"I wasn't to grow up fast and manage it. But who will you put in the helm of it until then?

"

"Obviously David,

" she said with a shrug.

"Not a bad idea.

" His smile deepened.

"Ah!

" Dawn suddenly bucked.

Blood drained from the faces of two men as they saw her tight expressions and how she flung her hand on her stomach.

"What's wrong?

" Cole croaked.

She shook her head.

"Nothing. Just a little un— Ah!

"

Daryn stared at her as if he was seeing a ghost. His mind froze completely.

"Dawn!

" Cole shifted to sit with her. He placed her legs on his lap.

"Tell me!

" His hands were clammy.

"I think my water broke!

" she said with wide eyes.

Daryn's hands flung to his mouth.

"Oh my God! The babies are coming!

"

Cole looked at him and then at Dawn with confusion. Then he turned his head around to see any water container. When he found none he squeaked,

"Which water broke and how does breaking of water correlate to babies popping out?

"

"Ahhhhh!

" Dawn shouted in pain with her eyes clenched tightly.

"Baby!

" Daryn called her and held her hand. He felt that his knees were shaking and that his energy had drained.

His wife was in labor.

"Take the car to the hospital,

" he shouted at the driver.

"Are the babies coming?

" asked Cole.

"Are you sure?

" Suddenly he saw that Dawn's dress became wet with a watery substance on the seat.

"Shit!

" he said with fear in his eyes.

"Your water broke!

"

"Thanks for informing me Cole,

" said Dawn as she rolled her eyes. Another spasm hit her and she shouted,

"Arggggh!

"

And Daryn shouted with her,

"Ahhhh!

"

"What do I do? What do I do?

" he became panicky.

"I am about to become an uncle?

" Cole squeaked yet again. His face was flushed. He looked at his sister,

"Oh my God! Dawn I so so so love you! More Wyatts are coming out!

"

There was a growl to his right.

"Those are Silvers!

"

"No!

" Cole protested.

"Since Dawn is giving birth to them, they are Wyatts!

"

"What? It is me who is giving birth to them?

"

"Are you insane?

" Cole was wide eyed.

"Stop it, both of you!

" Dawn shouted. She held Cole's wrist and yelled in pain. Her grip was so tight that Cole forgot to breathe. He thought she would break his wrist. He winced in pain.

The driver wanted to speed to the hospital, but he was so scared that he was now driving at 30mph and Dawn wanted to smack him.

"Drive fast, you imbecile!

" She also wanted to smack the two other men in the car.

By the time they reached the hospital, half of the Silver Clan members were already present. Immediately a wheelchair was placed in front of the car, but Daryn scooped her in his arms and secured her fast against his chest to take her to the delivery room.

As soon as she was there, a nurse helped her to change into a hospital gown. Brenda was already there.

Brenda examined her and said,

"I think it would be a while before you will actually get into intense labor. Until that time, I suggest that you go in the private cabin. When the frequency of your contractions increase, let me know.

"

"How much time will it take?

" asked Dawn.

"I can't say…

"

Five hours later.

Cole, Neal and Daryn were standing in the room.

"Darynnnn!

" shouted Dawn and gripped his hand hard. Even though Cole was present in the room, he made sure that it was Daryn's whose hand she caught during her spasms of pain.

Daryn winced in pain and as he looked at his wife. He looked at her tummy and muttered a prayer to his babies,

"Please make it easy on your mom.

"

"I haaaaate you!

" she shouted in her pain. The pains were now coming in intervals of half an hour and the contraction lasted for fifteen seconds.

Not able to see her pain, Cole and Neal ran out of the cabin.

"Man, let us do some breathing exercises,

" said Cole and he started hyperventilating. Neal stroked his back.
