Ash reached his face. Her heart clenches as he looked at that handsome innocent face.


    "Are you telling the truth?" She asked. He smiled and kissed both of her hands.??


    "I am. I''ve been wanting a baby. And it''s a good thing that the condom broke."


    "Stand up." She pulled her hand. Percy stood and he sat beside her. He reached his hand to her round stomach.


    "It''s wonderful." He said with twinkling eyes. Ash never thought of this scenario. It''s like a fantasy.


    "Let''s tell everyone." He told her and she shook her head.


    "Grandpa will be very happy with this."


    "But—"


    "It''s fine." He insisted. "They will love you."


    "Percy, I—I am not ready. Do you want to have a DNA test first? What if they would think that I got impregnated by another?"


    "It''s mine. Right?"


    "Yes. I never had sex with anyone but you."


    "Then, DNA testing will be useless."


    "I—I just want you to make sure that I am not fooling you."


    "Don''t be silly." He reached her face. "Ash, you will be a wonderful mother."

    "Hey, don''t be like that. Demi is your sister." Selina said softly.


    "Bea is so adorable," Zach said. "I''ll barrow Demi so Bea wouldn''t get too jealous."


    Zach gently took Demi and hushed her.


    "Uncle is here. Hush now." He murmured and Demi stopped crying. Zach talks to Demi and Demi would giggles.


    They stayed in the living room while Zach is busy ying with baby Demi and suddenly, Dmitri came down and smiled at everyone.


    "Zach, I am going to take my daughter back."


    "Sure." Zach gently gave yawning Demi to his father.


    "She''s sleepy." Dmitri kissed her daughter''s forehead and take her upstairs.


    "There you go," Selina told Bea, telling her that Demi already left with his father and Bea only looked up at her mother innocently. Finughed and Bea creased her brows.


    "Didididi!" She shouted at Fin and Fin stoppedughing when Bea started crying.


    Zachughed loudly together with Andy beside her.


    "Hey, what''s going on?" Steven asked while he''s holding the twin in both arms. He approached her. "Darling, they did bully?" Steven asked and Bea started babbling like she''s exining to Steven on what happened and how it''s injustice.


    The twin listened to their cousin''s babbling. Zach and Andy couldn''t stopughing from Bea''s babbling.


    "It''s okay. Your cousins are listening." He told her and she wiped her tears and continue her babbling.


    Suddenly, a set of couples arrived and they looked at Andrew with a big smile and holding hands with his fiancée.


    "Hey!" Zachary stood and approached him. They hugged each other with a pat at the back. "I thought that you aren''t going to make it again." He told and he looked at the woman in brown hair. She smiled so brightly. "And this is?"


    "This is Marianne, my fiancée," Andrew said.


    Andy tilt her head and looked at Marianne from head to toe.


    "Marianne, my brother Zachary."


    Zachary and Marry shake hands together and Zachary introduced them to everyone.


    "Since you''ve been gone for like every asion, you knew my beautiful wife, Andromeda, and then there''re Steven and his twin. Selina and Fin with their daughter Bea."


    "Hey, I missed a lot of things around here."


    "Yeah. You even missed using a condom, right?" Andy teased and Andrewughed.


    "Andro as always."


    Andy shrugged.


    "You, asshole finally could make it on my special day," Selina said.


    "Yeah, what can I say?" He shrugged at her.


    ***


    Their dinner has been set and Andrew eyed Percy sitting with the event manager and giving his attention to her. She seemed ufortable from what Percy is doing and Andrew joked him that would make everyone shut up.


    "Hey, don''t tell us that you also broke a condom?" Andrew asked with a littleugh. Percy stopped and looked at him.


    "Yeah. I did. Two times." He said and Ash smacked him under the table.


    "Tell me that it''s good news?" Manuel asked as he eyed the woman''s stomach.


    "It''s good news!" Percy told him. "So, Andrew isn''t the only one who''s getting married in our family."


    Ash flushes and she nodded her head.


    "Oh, so you are directly telling us that you impregnate her, and the girls just set her up so you could meet again?" Rafael asked.


    Percy frowned and looked at Selina who shook her head and Selina looked at Moira and Andy.


    "Did you girls just set me up?" Percy asked Moira and Andy who looked up at him innocently. "Dad, you knew about this too?" He frowned. Rafael shook his head.


    "What are you talking about?" Moira asked and continue eating.


    "This will be a family meeting." Manuel deres then he looked at Alex with a sneer. Alex scoffed and shook his head.


    "You are probably proud of the broken condoms?" Alex said and they allughed but Ash felt embarrassed. Percy held her hand and told her that everything is fine.


    Kale bumped his baby walker to Percy''s seat and Percy turned to him.


    "Hey, dude." Percy waved at him and Kale is trying to get his attention. Kale lifted his hands to him indicating him to take him.


    "I am starting to get jealous every time he goes to Percy," Stanley said and theyughed. Percy took out baby Kale and introduce him to Ash.


    "I am his Godfather and we are close together. I will adopt him soon enough."


    Stanley frowned at Percy.


    "That''s my son and find your son."


    "Kale, your father is talking nonsense again." Percy snickered and Percy ces Kale on hisp. "And this is my baby." Percy reached Ash''s stomach.


    "Bibi!" Kale pointed the round stomach.


    "That''s right. So, you are going to y with your brother or sister?"


    "Bibi." Kale pointed it again. Percy nodded.


    "Oh, damn. Percy is starting to take away your son." Andy told Stanley and Stanley stood. Percyughed as everyoneughed and Stanley reached his hand to Kale.


    "Hey, he''s not your father."


    "Bibi!" Kale pointed out Ash''s stomach.


    "Yes. Your mom and I will make another. Let''s go." He said. Kale looked up at Percy and then to his father like he''s confused. "Come on." Kale finally lifted his arms to his father and Stanley took him.


    "Why so jealous, Stan?" Percy teased.


    "You are spoiling my kid." He took Kale and bring him to the highchair. Luna chuckled and shook her head as she started feeding him.


    Everyone is fond of the bright babies around them.


    ***


    Percy is finally alone with his parents, his brothers, and sister, and then his grandfather.


    "So, when will be the wedding?" Andrew asked. "We can''t get married on the same date."


    "We will get married in civil," Percy said and Ash''s eyes widen.


    "I—I don''t want us to get married right away—" Ash murmured to him. "We are just starting again."


    "Hey, sweetheart. You don''t need to worry. You can have any wedding you like." Ang said. "It''s our son''s wedding. It should be memorable. Besides, after you got married, I will also prepare for Andrew''s wedding. Isn''t it great to have my sons getting married and leaving us?" Ang said a little emotional.


    "Mom," Percy rubbed his forehead.


    "We will prepare it big." Ang decided. She checked the date. "Thising February will be alright?"


    "It''s in two weeks." Percy murmured.


    "I already nned for each of your weddings so no worries about that."


    "See? Your mother already prepared for the wedding. Just get married you, dumbass!" Manuel said. "After your firstborn quickly make another. Old Mondragon is already ahead of me."


    Zacharyughed out loud together with Eric and Rafael.


    "Deal," Percy said and he wrapped his arms around Ash.


    Ash felt embarrassed but then, Percy escorted her to her room. He closed the door behind him. Ash faced him nervous as she fidgets her fingers.


    "Did you mean it?" She asked him.


    "Yes." He reached her face. "Don''t worry. I''ll handle everything."


    Ash rxed when he kissed her. She''s not worried about the wedding. She''s not worried to be with him because it was his baby. She''s just afraid of what Gayle will do once she found out that Percy knows that she''s pregnant.


    "I have something to confess to you," Percy said and caressed her cheek. "Our first time, you were a little drunk. I thought that I already had a condom on, but I wasn''t wearing anything, and I know that it''s toote."


    She creased her brows.


    "So," He shrugged. "I thought that maybe you don''t want to get pregnant, so I still wear it on our second, third until many times that we are making love."


    "You—"


    "I''m sorry but I don''t regret it." He touched her stomach.


    "Percy,"


    "Ash, baby, don''t worry. I''ll handle everything and I will protect you and our baby."


    She nodded and hugged him tightly.
