although Kay was the new president, she wanted it that way, were so successful that the two companies were generating him and Kay over thirty million dollars a year, and they were just getting started. Weeks later, Robinson and Cameron coincided at Carlos‘ house with the purpose of giving him the money he needed to buy a house. Since they didn‘t know one another yet, they hadn‘t agreed to be there. Fate brought them together, and of course, they became the best of friends. Carlos was so moved that he cried tears of joy. He had no idea what he had done to deserve this from his friends. He knew that they loved him, and all of his friends loved him, and even people who had just met him, and other acquaintances, but until today, he didn‘t know how much these guys loved him. Again, he tried to make an agreement with them to pay them back, but they declined, saying it was a gift, and there would be no changing that. He‘d earned all these things from them and a lot more.
Over the next few months, Kay and Robinson‘s first baby, Riley Ray Bennett was born. He was adorable. He looked just like his father, but he inherited the vibrant green eyes of his mother, a color green that no one had ever seen before in anyone‘s eyes. That is why Kay‘s mother fell in love with her and didn‘t want to give up both of her daughters for adoption, just one of them, because she felt, for an unknown reason that she couldn‘t raise both of them. Kim‘s eyes had Constantine hypnotized. He had never seen eyes this beautiful before. Kim was overjoyed when she held her baby nephew for the very first time, and desired to have a baby of her own, but she didn‘t want to be a single mother. She and Cameron had their first conversation about marriage, and he immediately agreed to marry her. They lived separately. They hadn‘t made love yet. Kim was a liberal woman, but she didn‘t believe in commitment-free sex. In order to give her love to someone, she‘d have to be head over heels in love, and that man had to love her back. She was no one‘s booty call. She was worth too much for that. For that reason, and since Cameron knew everything he had to know about her, even her thoughts, fears and ambitions, they got married two days after Riley was born. She had more than enough time to get to know him as well as he knew her, but what she knew about him, she loved.
Geri was pregnant with Marlon‘s child. She was three months along, and she had only found out days before. Marlon and Geri were overcome with bliss at this news. Marlon and Geri also got married, and everyone of their friends and family members were invited. Even Baby Riley went to the wedding. He was a quiet baby. He wouldn‘t cry unless he needed his diaper changed, unless he was hungry, he was hurting, or he felt lonely at the moment. All it took to relieve the pain in the few instances that he felt was the caresses of his parents and within a few minutes, the baby would be all right. It was strange because this baby boy was more sensitive than most Emadorians. Nobody knew that when these beings were babies, they were more sensitive and self-aware. Riley stayed quiet during the whole ceremony, and he was in every wedding picture. They felt that Riley adorned their pictures. Soon enough, Kim and Constantine would have a baby of their own, within the next eight months and twenty-eight days. Carlos hadn‘t found the love of his life, yet, but he was alone, rather than lonely, and he didn‘t mind. He didn‘t want to try again and fail. The women that he‘d shared his life with had only used him because of his supernatural great looks, because, like every other Emadorian, he looked like nobody else, and only the Emadorians‘ descendants would look like them. Everyone was happy with their family and their friends. They were living a great life for now, but only time would tell what would happen next.
