"I don't have kids yet, but when I do, Grandpa will pick a special name for them too. The most important thing is that the child is healthy and happy," Sean said, giving Steve a teasing look to show that he shouldn't worry too much about it.
Steve, smiling widely, scratched his head and replied, "Okay, then let's name him Lucian." "Should we have a big party for Lucian's post-birth celebration?" Lulu asked Benjamin, smiling. In Hustuaburg, this celebration was a big deal for families, usually held when the baby turned 100 days old.
"Definitely, we'll invite Maximillian first. He always talks about how Nolan is the oldest great-grandson in his family. Now that we have a greatgrandchild too, he can't make fun of me anymore," Benjamin said, with a cheeky grin.
Everyone laughed together, shaking their heads and teasing, "Grandpa, are you and Jared's grandpa still acting like children?"
Everyone was happy and joking around, it didn't matter if Nolan was a Johnston or a Riddle; everyone loved him a lot.
"He always tells me, Nolan is a Johnston," Benjamin said, not minding the friendly competition, seeing it as a fun way to respond.
"Grandpa, we should head back now. We've all met the baby, and Sally needs to rest. Steve's been looking after her well; he needs to rest too," Nicole mentioned.
"Alright, let's leave," Benjamin agreed, then told Steve, "Take it easy, look after your wife and the baby." "Yes, Grandpa, I will," Steve promised.
"Now you rest. Make sure they're both okay. We won't bring food since the hospital provides meals, but I'll make some soups for Sally,' Gloria said.
"Thanks, Mom," Steve replied.
Even though the hospital had everything ready, he knew accepting Gloria's help was a way to appreciate her care.
Soon, the Riddles gradually left the hospital.
"Nicole, Lulu, are you heading back to the office?" June called out to Nicole and Lulu.
"Yes, is there something you need?" Lulu asked June.
"I took the day off, and now I don't feel like going home. How about I hang out at your place? Is that okay?" June inquired.
"Of course, you can." Lulu linked arms with June. "After getting married, we've all been so busy that we hardly have time to meet up anymore. It was different before we were married; we could still plan to go out for meals or shopping." "If you feel like shopping, we can go right now," Nicole suggested, thinking that they might as well, since going back to the office at this time would mean they'd be leaving soon anyway.
"That sounds great; I want to buy some more clothes and toys for the baby," Lulu said, her face lighting up with joy.
Nicole and June exchanged a look, teasing Lulu, "You seem so eager; maybe you should just go ahead and have a baby yourself." "I'm not that eager!" Lulu's cheeks flushed red. She couldn't deny that holding the baby had made her unconsciously think about how it would feel to hold her own child someday.
"Still in denial, why the blushing then?" June laughed.
"I'm not talking to you anymore," Lulu said, feigning indignation as she headed toward the car.
Nicole and June followed her into the car, instructing the driver to head to the mall.
"I think Steve and Sally already have everything they need. Won't it be too much if we buy more?" June voiced her hesitation.
"It's okay, children grow up fast; we can buy clothes that are a bit larger," Nicole explained, noting that the items already purchased were currently the right size, but it wouldn't be long before they were too small.
"Then let's get some toys," Lulu suggested.
