Beto is surprised to learn that Pamela's next child is a boy. He asked Pamela not to tell him because he wanted to know when the baby was born.
But, since Josias ended up revealing, all that was left was for Beto to stand up and celebrate the fulfilled wish.
"Yes! Yahoo, finally a boy to carry on the surname Reis! Thank you so much Josias... and how did you know?"
"Pamela must have told Melissa." Josias's face was still serious.
"Oh, I got it." Beto loses some of his joy.
"Roberto, please, talk to your wife. There is no need to war against William. And Caio will always be welcome in my penthouse, he has never been and will never be a burden to me. Let's be reasonable."
Beto nods, the problem is that he already said that to Pamela. It is she and William who must learn to live civilly.

Uélton, Flávia, and Reuben appear at Harold and Isabel's house. When Harold opens the door, Flávia hands him the notebook
Beto is shocked by Pamela's violent outburst only to learn that the secret involving the baby's sex had been leaked.He got up and questioned his cluttered office, "Pam! What's this? Are you crazy? How do you drop my papers and my cup? Be careful not to cut yourself with the shards of porcelain."Beto looks for a broom.Meanwhile, Pamela explains angrily, "Didn't you realize that Josias revealed to you that we're having a boy just to spoil the surprise? You're the one who asked not to tell.""Yes, but apparently, you blurted it out when you talked to Melissa; rather, when you argued with her. I told you to avoid clashes, but you can't hold your tongue.""Who has to discipline the tongue is Uélton!" Pamela can't imagine that Josias has already given up asking Uélton to do this, "What impresses me is that you continue to pay attention to the Rocha couple when I want to defeat William Campos."Beto can't find the broom and continu
1989In the famous Church of Green Park, the wedding of Tiago and Carmen is taking place.Our bride and groom are already at the altar exchanging vows. In the pews of the Church are the guests, thrilled by yet another couple taking this important step in their lives.Igor had hired a cameraman to record the moment. When Marcelo gets out of jail, he will show the VCR tape for his younger brother to see what he lost.Elisa and Saulo are seated on the groom's side, in the front row. She's crying. He caresses his wife's belly, indicating a new being with three months of gestation.Josias and Melissa decided not to lose this time. They are on the groom's side. Melissa's pregnancy is almost over. Even with the loose pink dress, everyone realizes that the baby is almost time to be born.Melissa occasionally machine-guns Pamela with her gaze. The enemy is on the other side of the nave, on the bride's family side, surrounded by Beto, Rosemary, and Pe
William has an enormous urge to punch Beto, even in front of everyone. But the sight of Pedro and Rosemary makes him back off. In fact, it was a fight that took him to the hospital, and Caio is present.Caio tugs on William's dress pants, "Daddy, are you going to fight? Are you going to the hospital again?"William smiles mockingly at Pamela, "Answer your son, Pamela! Am I going to the hospital again?"Pamela and Beto are vexed. They don't want to cause another show to traumatize Caio. This will be used against them in the Juvenile Court."No son, we are not going to fight." Pamela produces a fake smile, "Come on, baby, let's go to the party.""Bye, Caio!" Rosemary nods. She already recognizes him as a half-brother.Josias and Melissa approach William, their faces showing disgust."Is there a problem, Will?" Josias asks powerfully."I avoided a problem, Josias," William responds."Anyway, I talked to Igor." Josias wraps
In the Rocha penthouse, Josias and Melissa enter and sit on the sofa, tired of the night of yet another wedding."Oh, what a relief..." Melissa leans against the arm of the sofa and lifts her legs. Josias sits down next to her and holds her legs to take off her shoes."Another couple of friends getting married, my love." Josias comments, "And we'll have two more citizens in Lagoon City.""Yes, our daughter and the heir of the Neves family." Melissa nods."I for a moment thought Saulo was sterile. When did they get married?" Josias asks between giggles."Watch the mean, honey..." Melissa 'scolds' him, but she also chuckles, "It was held in 1981.""So they were supposed to have two kids, just like us!" Josias laughs louder.Melissa shakes her head still laughing, "Don't say that in front of poor Saulo. I think the Bento brothers have already told him that, and during all these years."Josias stops laughing and comments another cu
The next day, the landline rings very early at Simeon's house. Simeon appears in the living room wearing nothing but boxer shorts and scratching his eyes, trying to ward off sleep."Dear Jesus, who will it be at this hour? Today is Sunday, folks!"When he answers, "HELLO?"On the other side, Josias speaks to him in one of the hospital's telephone booths, "Hello, dear father-in-law? Are you in the mood to meet another granddaughter of yours?"Simeon's sleep is gone. He widens his eyes that were once heavy with sleep, "What? Josias? Was my granddaughter born?""See why we didn't want to go to the wedding party?" Josias chuckles, "Melissa felt her water did break about ten minutes after we got to the penthouse. You were all at the party so there was no way I could tell you.""Oh, that's wonderful! We'll be there as soon as possible!""I'm waiting, bye! I need to tell more people.""Goodbye!" Simeon hangs up.Simeon's loud v
Cristina is embarrassed to admit to Moacyr that she wants to support her daughter in the war between her and William, "Moacyr, my dear... understand that Pamela is my daughter.""You understand that Pamela is wrong to want full custody of Caio." Moacyr asserts, "She now needs to concentrate on taking care of Pedro and Rosemary. Two children under the age of five.""Caio happens to worry her." Cristina justifies herself, "You can't scold her for wanting the child's good."Moacyr shakes his head, "Well, she has his father to take care of Caio. And he's in Josias's penthouse, the best thing that could ever happen."Cristina has her back to Moacyr, "Not at all! Being in Josias's penthouse, he's the one who pays the bills. Did William get a job? As far as I know, no!""Brazil is going through a difficult crisis, Cristina, be patient," Moacyr begs.Cristina turns and faces her boyfriend, "Anyway, Moacyr, if you want to go see your friend, go ahead
In the nursery window, Josias, Dora, and Simeon could see Caroline because by coincidence the crib where the nurse had placed her was right next to them. Caroline was asleep wrapped in a pink blanket to differentiate from the boys who wore blue."How beautiful, Josias." Dora praises, "She's going to be a beautiful girl when she grows up.""She's gonna give you a headache, Josias, get ready." Simeon jokes.Josias chuckles, "If her boyfriend is half of what I am, I won't be sad."Simeon opines, "He has to be twice as good as you, young man, to deserve your little princess. That's why I allowed my princess to marry you."Josias stares at Simeon, touched by the greeting.Dora asks, "What about Melissa? Can we see our daughter?""Yes, she's resting, maybe she's awake.""You can let me go. I know where the rooms are." Dora walks away.Josias and Simeon continue to look at Caroline, in awe, until Uélton comes bumping int
After a few days, Melissa is discharged and returns to the penthouse to be Caroline's caring mother.Ernesto and Alan are playing dominoes sitting on the living room rug. The radio is playing "Sail Away" by Enya. The curious thing is that with Ernesto, Alan manages to play with the correct pieces."Alan, you're almost four years old! Who taught you to play?""Grandma," Alan responds sweetly.When the rest of the family arrives, Josias announces in a rumbling shout, "The little princess of the house has arrived!""Daddy, Mummy!" Alan gets up and runs to see Caroline, "I want to see Caroline!""Calm down, son!" Josias is amused by the boy's anxiety, "She's right here."Melissa sits down on the sofa and places the Moses basket in her lap where Caroline sleeps peacefully. Alan sees her and is moved."She is sleeping."Melissa speaks softly, "Yes, she's sleeping. Isn't your little sister pretty?""Uh-huh." Alan nods.
