"Dad, Mom, please, I love my child," Natasha pleaded with her mother and stepfather, who tried to make her abort her unborn child, but her pleas fell on deaf ears.
"You're too young. We don't have enough money for a baby. What's more, your boyfriend has already made it clear that he wanted nothing to do with you and the child. So why do you still want to keep his baby? It's better for you to go through with the abortion," her stepfather insisted and dragged her to the abortion clinic, ignoring her protests. While he was busy at the counter, Natasha glanced at her surroundings for an exit door. Just then, she felt a tap on her shoulder. She looked up and saw a young man.
"Miss, you dropped this," he said as he pointed at a small piece of paper on the ground. Natasha picked up the paper and saw that it was a lottery ticket.
"That's not mine," she said, but the man was already gone. She checked the numbers, with her hands trembling. She had won the jackpot. She could not believe her luck. Overjoyed, she turned, smiled at her stepfather and rushed out from the back door. Now she had enough money to raise her child alone. Since that day, she felt like her life was full of blessings. When she bought a house, she found old, rare wine in the basement. She sold the collection and bought necessities for her unborn twins, and started a small but profitable business. It was then that she realized the babies she were carrying brought her luck.
Time passed and Natasha gave birth to twins, a boy named Anthony and a girl named Lily. Even though she proved to be capable of raising her kids as a single mother, Anthony and Lily urged her to find them a father. For that, Natasha dated different men, but none of the men she dated were willing to accept the kids as their own.
One day, Natasha was strolling at the park with Anthony and Lily when they saw a man sitting by the river. The kids ran straight to him. He smiled and said, "My father was rich, but we lost everything when he was cheated by a trusted friend, and my girlfriend left me after learning my family had gone bankrupt. I don't have money to start a family." Anthony and Lily walked away and told their mother, "Mom, he is the right one." Curious, Natasha looked over and froze. It was him, the man who had dropped the lottery ticket back then. She walked up to him, offering to help him rebuild his life. The man, whose name is Robert, readily agreed. Natasha gave him a job with her company. While it was initially difficult, Robert persevered, and got back on his feet in no time. During this time, he and Natasha had developed feelings for each other. Anthony and Lily got along well with Robert, often referring to him as "Daddy". Robert's parents were similarly supportive of their son's relationship with Natasha, despite knowing she was a single mom with 2 kids, and accepted the children as their own flesh and blood. With blessings from loved ones, Robert and Natasha got married, and a year later, they welcomed a baby boy.
