SIXTY-THREE
=DWAYNE DALE’s POV=
We gather in the living room. We are here at the mansion to talk about Daze and Ervic’s wedding. My sister is four weeks pregnant with his best friend, he’s here to talk to us.
“I can’t believe this.” Dad shook his head in disappointment. “My two daughters got pregnant before getting married.”
“I’m sorry, dad. I didn’t know this would happen.” Daze apologize.
“You didn’t mean? Why did he force you?” Dylan asked. “What’s that you’re just surprised that something entered your stomach?”
“Dylan,” Daze called Dylan crying.
“Enough, it will harm the baby if the mommy is put under pressure,” reprimanded mommy. “There is nothing we can do. Daze is pregnant, all we have to do is to make sure that our grandchild is safe.”
“Ervic, do you have something to say?” Dad asked him. He first looked at Daze who glared at him. Just now it looks like Daze is controlling him already, what more if they will leave together?
“Amp, I would like to marry Daze.” Dylan stared at him. I can see the nervousness on Ervic’s face. “I’m serious about her and I love her.”
“That’s why we’re here, Don Damian. I would like to stand properly for my brother.” Enrique—Ervic’s older brother is here too. I still can’t quite figure out how Ervic got my sister pregnant when Enrique is the one she wants and pursues.
“But they’re young.” Dylan interrupted.
“What young? Daze is already twenty-four. When I was her age I did everything and proved a lot.” It’s Dane.
“It’s you, Dane. You and our youngest are different. You know that it did nothing but make life better,” Dave said while shaking his head.
“I can do it, just give me a chance. I have my business and I am sure I can do better when I give birth,” Daze complained.
“It’s easy to say because you’ve never experienced hardship.” Dylan interrupted again. “And how did it happen that your best friend got you pregnant while this Enrique was the one you were chasing?”
“We’ll probably always be together, you’d be surprised if Enrique got pregnant with me, he doesn’t like me.”
“Well, I think Daze can decide for herself dad. He is at the right age and has his own business. We see how she is to Ace, King, and Dustle. I can say that she can do better for her own child,” I said.
“I love you, Dale.”
“You need to get married before your belly grows, Daze,” Dad said.
“I suggested next month, Don Damian,” Enrique said. “They don’t want too fabulous either.”
“Is it Daze?” Dane asked. Even I was surprised by what Enrique said. It was Daze’s dream to have a princess wedding. Walking in the aisle while seeking everyone’s attention. Everyone attention to her and he will conquer the wedding of the royal family.
“Yes, I wanted it to be simple.” Or maybe it’s because she’s not going to marry the man she wants.
“I can sponsor, just do the wedding you want,” Dylan said and looked at Enrique.
“This is not about the money, Dylan. I just want it to be simple.”
“Why?” Dylan asked.
“Just I want it simple.”
“Your mind will change after two weeks,” Dylan said and stood. “I’m done here, just call me when I’m needed.”
“Dylan,” mom called him.
“Let him.” But dad let him go.
“Don’t worry, Don Damian, you can ask your lawyer to file a prenuptial agreement. Whatever your daughter’s property has will belong to her and whatever my brother has will share it with your daughter.”
“We don’t care about money. We know your parents when they are still alive. I trust your family. I am just disappointed. We know Ervic for a long time as Daze’s best friend. It turns out that you will end up in a relationship and get pregnant, so why not get married first? Why did your brother get my child pregnant first?”
“I’m sorry, Don, I didn’t expect it,” Ervic apologized.
“Neither did I,” Daze seconded.
“What can we do? Let’s settle this and fix it.” Dad said and started to plan. All the talk went to plan. But Daze accepted everything, she said it was her wedding so she will be the one to follow. We didn’t do anything either because the argument would just drag on but we wouldn’t win against Daze. It’s like we just had an argument with the Dylan girl who had a worse spot.
After the meeting, the brothers went home. We didn’t leave because daddy wanted us to have dinner here since you and my siblings are already here. He just called our wives to bet. He also called Dylan to come back because he and Wallace were together.
While waiting for them I told them about Lauren and me. I said her memory is back and we are ok. I also admitted to them that before she got amnesia, we had already talked about fixing our situation and admitted that we would love each other. Everyone congratulated me and everyone happy is happy to hear my confession.
Wallace came with King and Ace also with Dylan. Erika came with Dustle, and Lauren also came. In a few months, we will have more members. Daze’s wife and a few months later and one of his firstborn again.
While eating, it was discussed that Dane and Wallace wanted to follow King because he was growing up. Dave also said that he and Erika are planning to adopt and Dustle will have many siblings. They have already chosen someone from the orphanage where Lelith came from. Sister and brother. Their plan is only boys but the two brothers are very close and cannot be separated.
Dave asks dad permission if it’s ok and he will send the last name Dy to the brothers. Dad said no worries. It’s a blessing from God. Even though they are not related by blood, they are still given from heaven, so they need to be accepted and loved. It is said that it is better and the family of the Dy will expand.
Erika was a little embarrassed when she apologized to us because she couldn’t give Dave many children. But dad reassured her that she doesn’t need to worry. She is a member of the family and her health is the most important of everything.
After dinner, Dylan, Wallace, Dave, and I gather in the garden. Mommy and daddy went upstairs first. Dylan just pulled out a warming bottle. The girls are in the living room together with the kids.
“Soon, there will be five of us here when Daze chokes Ervic.” Dave said and laughed.
“You’re not sure,” Dylan said so we looked at him.
“What’s not sure?” I asked.
“Sexret.” Wallace chuckles then drinks. “Asshole, don’t laugh and we might end up planning something.” Dave and I are clueless but have no choice but to keep quiet.
I can see that Dylan and Wallace’s closeness is undeniable. Same with Copper and Dave. I think I’m the only one who doesn’t have a best friend among us. But not a big deal because I also don’t like to go out with someone if it’s not just my brothers. I am not that close to them, but anytime I need them I can call them.
“Dale, Daze preceded you to have children,” Dylan said.
“You thought he was not,” Dave said to him
.”Why, am I married?” Dylan’s said.Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.
“You said you too are ok, right?” Dave asks me.
“Yup.”
“Cheers for that.” Dylan raised the bottle.
“Good to hear that, Dale.” Wallace smiled and raised his glass.
“So you can start your family,” Dave asks again.
“Why are you insisting, Dave?” Dylan asks. “Don’t force him, there is a right time for that. Let Dale be mentally ready.”
“Yes, of course.”
We finished past ten pm. Dave and Wallace and I went to the girls in the living room while Dylan left immediately. He didn’t even say goodbye to those here because he said he was just annoyed to see our mess.
We caught them laughing. Lauren holds Daze’s tummy while King is on her lap. She’s happily playing with him and in Daze’s stomach. The two had already invited their husbands so I invited Lauren as well.
In the car, she kept talking about Daze’s pregnancy. She even mentioned its conception. Even after we got down, we talked about Daze and the kids. Until we finished what we were doing and lay down, she kept talking about them. She was very happy and there was no denying it.
I just gasped because of what I thought.
“Hubby.”
“Hmm?”
“Do you have a problem?” she asked.
“Huh, nothing, I forgot to tell you that I told them about us. I said when we talked about going ahead with our marriage because we already love each other.”
“Really? What did they say?”
“They are happy for us.”
“Indeed. Good. I have also told Dane, Erika, and Daze about us and they are happy.” I sighed and then looked at the ceiling. “Hubby, are you really okay?” I looked at her and stared at her.
“Wife, you’re strong, aren’t you?”
“Huh?”
“You love me and you won’t leave me?”
“Hubby, of course, we are now ok. I won’t leave you of course.”
“Promise?”
“Of course, are you okay?”
“Wife, do you want to have children?”
“Hubby.”
“If you tell me, yes, and you promise me that you will be brave. I will give you a child. No—-we will start a family, wife. As long as you promise not to leave me.” She smiles at me and kisses me giving me the assurance that I want.
“I love you, hubby. I have never been weak just for you and I will never be weak just for you.”
“Then let’s have a baby. Let’s have children and build our own family.”
