"Got it," Christian said.

"Are you ready?" the judge asked. When Jayden and Deborah nodded as they approached him, the judge said, "Then let's begin."

Nicholas, Eric, and Samantha also approached, handing the necessary documents to the judge for the registration. After placing their signatures and seals, the registration was complete.

"Well, young man, you are now officially James Cooper" the judge declared, looking at the little one. "Yay! I'm officially your dad now," Jayden said, lifting his son slightly and kissing him on the cheek, making James laugh.

"And this calls for a celebration," Samantha declared.

"Congratulations, sir and madam," Max and Danielle said, clapping and setting off a confetti cannon. James was thrilled to see the colorful pieces falling from the sky and tried to catch them with his hands. "Thank you very much, Judge," Eric said, approaching to shake his hand while taking the documents to store them safely.

"And now let's go have a celebratory brunch," Samantha announced excitedly.

"Yes, it's time to celebrate in style," Caroline said as she walked over to pick up the little one, who was delighted by all the attention.

Deborah smiled and now took her husband's hand, and together they headed back to the car.

The party was at the mansion, where everyone was already waiting with food, drinks, and music. Even the pool was filled for them to enjoy.

"Oh, so that's why you brought that bag," Christian said noticing his wife had a travel bag with her. "Obviously, because we're going to take a dip for a while," she said, sticking her tongue out at him.

"Congratulations, sir and madam!" all the servants said when they saw Jayden and Deborah get out of the

car.

James was happy in his mom's arms, admiring the decorations.

"Thank you all so much," Deborah said, noticing that they had even prepared a cake with edible figures of the three of them.

"Well, now, let's get this party started!" Jayden declared, lifting his wife and son as he carried them into the house, causing everyone to laugh.

The couple entered their home to change into something more comfortable so they could enjoy the pool.

Samantha didn't waste any time during the party as she recorded James's first time in a big pool, complete with toys for him to play with.

James babbled excitedly, already in his swimsuit in his dad's arms.

"Do you think he'll be a little merman?" Caroline asked, seeing his reactions as they approached the water.

"Maybe," Deborah said, seeing his excitement. "Sometimes he doesn't want to get out of the tub."

"And that's why James is going to play in this place that's bigger than his tub, right?" Jayden said, hearing his son's excitement as they slowly descended the pool steps and the water began to touch James's body. "Careful, love," Deborah said as she also entered the pool to help watch over James.

"Aww... you guys look so cute." Samantha said, taking a photo of them.

"Well, now that we've taken care of my grandson's registration," Nicholas began, "We can move on to talking about real business."

"Real business?" Eric asked, confused..

"Of course, Nicholas, and now's your chance to tell me your demands and requirements because I'm already starting to plan everything for their wedding," said Samantha.

"Oh, that," the older man laughed, seeing that his wife had found a partner-in-crime. "Obviously, love, I'm going to take advantage of the fact that Deborah is now officially our daughter to plan the dream wedding for her and me. You know I've always dreamed about planning our son's wedding," she declared, turning to start discussing with Nicholas the details they'd like to see at the wedding.

Eric just shook his head with a smile, remembering how his beloved had kept a special diary with all the ideas and things she'd like to include in Jayden's wedding.

It was going to be fun to see the results of that celebration, as he could see that Nicholas also had his own ideas and suggestions for the big day.
