Chapter 1228
Before Tabitha Lynette was even born, Isaac had already decided on her name. It would carry Brittany's last name, a decision that made Yuri, the doting grandfather, beam with pride. He had gone all out, ordering a tiny gold locket and various pieces of jewelry, eagerly awaiting the chance to spoil his granddaughter. Holding Isaac's hand, Brittany's eyes sparkled with joy. "Thanks, Bri. You've done so much," Isaac whispered, caressing her face gently, his heart full knowing they now had a perfect family-a boy and a girl.Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
Tabitha quickly grew out of her newborn phase, blossoming into a fair-skinned beauty, strikingly similar to Brittany as a child.
Yuri was utterly devoted, barely leaving her side, much to Brittany's amusement. "Dad, you really don't have to hover so much."
"Now that I'm already head over heels, how can I not spoil her?" Yuri chuckled, cuddling Tabitha close. Brittany could only smile at her father's antics.
After a three-day stay in the hospital, Brittany was moved to a postnatal care center, where everything was meticulously arranged for her and Tabitha. With professionals to help care for the baby, Brittany's only task was to feed Tabitha and focus on her recovery. Daniel, ever the protective big brother, was constantly by Tabitha's side, shining with excitement. "Mom, does sissy have a nickname yet?"
"How about you pick one?" Brittany suggested.
After a moment's thought, Daniel beamed. "Let's call her 'Little Angel"!"
"Little Angel, my very own little angel," Daniel showered his sister with kisses, leaving Brittany speechless but amused, "Alright, 'Little Angel' it is."
When Kari and Hannah visited the care center and saw the newborn, they were in awe. "Bri, your daughter is absolutely gorgeous!"
Brittany, who was sipping on chicken soup-a postnatal nutrition staple laughed off their compliments, "You must be wearing rose-colored glasses."
Their conversation drifted to Kari and Ronald's upcoming wedding and plans about children. Kari admitted to leaning towards a child-free life, with Ronald respecting her stance. They agreed to revisit the idea in a few years, focusing on their careers and each other for the time being.
Brittany supported Kari's decision, emphasizing the importance of enjoying their time together as a couple.
After a month in the care center, half spent on recovery and the other half on getting back into shape, Brittany was eager to return to her
pre-pregnancy figure. Under her net

aimed to continue improving.
The Salter family celebrated the arrival of Tabitha with joy, their happiness known far and wide. Breaking from his usually reserved demeanor, Isaac even organized a grand baby shower, eager to share his joy with the world.
At the baby shower, Katelin returned from Craneville with Holden, who brought along a precious gift-a subtle yet valuable gold locket from Eltham, expressing his congratulations.
As Isaac examined the locket, it accidentally slipped from his fingers into his drink. "Sorry, butterfingers!" he exclaimed, a mix of embarrassment and amusement in his tone.
