"When am I pregnant?" Felicity asked.Hana looked at Raymond surprised "little Ray, how come little Lee doesn't know she is pregnant, didn't you tell her?""I was about asking the same thing" Desmond said looking at Raymond too."Grandma, grandpa, Felicity has been feeling kind of sick lately..." Raymond began."I was?" Felicity interrupted.Raymond faced her "darling, don't you remember? What are we going to do with this your forgetful memory" he released a dramatic sigh."Forgetful? But aunt Katy always say..." Felicity wanted to defend herself when Raymond pressed his index finger on her lips.He smiled "it's alright, it's very expected from a pregnant woman" he chuckled. Felicity wanted to speak but his finger on her lips pressed tighter and she said nothing. Raymond turned to his grandparents with a light chuckle "we went to the hospital just this morning before coming here that's why she doesn't know about her pregnancy.

When Raymond got home that day, he had dinner with Felicity before following her into her room.Felicity was surprised and she asked him out of her excitement "are you sleeping with me today little Ray?"Raymond stilled for a moment but he smiled later "no, not today.""Oh" a trace of disappointment was clear on her face "why are you here then?""I want to talk to you" his fingers traced her face involuntarily, realizing what he was doing, he dropped his hand. Just why is it that she makes him wants to be gentle with her, no woman has ever derived such feelings from him and he is not sure he likes it.

Time flew by and it was Felicity's birthday already. Raymond because he had promised, threw her a birthday party. Katherine had been surprised when he carried on with that. He hadn't been so kind or caring towards Felicity as he had been earlier, so forgive her for being shocked when he threw her the party.Due to Katherine not knowing a lot of people and Felicity not having friends, it became his duty also to invite guests and he did to those he knew who are mostly, models, celebrities and business tycoons. Desmond and Hana invited family friends since it was their granddaughter in-law birthday. Raymond's parents couldn't make it again and they weren't surprised. To fit into Felicity's description, there was a dress code, women in ball gowns and men in tuxedoes.Raymond had told himself times without numbers that he won't wear the couple outfits with her but he found himself putting on the male wear on the big day.

"Little Ray, I don't...feel...so good" Felicity mumbled in the man's arms."What the hell Philip?" He raged and took Felicity from his arms."Easy man, I didn't do anything. I only offered her a glass of wine, is all" he raised his hands as he tried to explain the situation."A wine? Why in the world will you give her wine?" Raymond demanded."Chill man, she is an adult okay. She did say her aunt never let's her take one and I thought she was joking. I never knew one glass will get her drunk.""Really? So if I haven't arrived now, you wouldn't have done anything?""Come on man, give me some credit. I'm old enough to not get my friend's wife drunk just to sleep with her okay. If I want sex there are a lot of ladies in there who are ready to hook up with me anytime. I only came out her to chat with her, you are so secretive and you never brings her out with you. I just wanted to get to know her and know why you don't want anyone to meet her.""Did you satisfy your

He asked and they nodded vigorously. He smiled and kissed their head each. He looked up at the lady who was watching them, at his gaze, she turned and shut the door before approaching them."Now that we are set, let's give some rules, one, no running off, stay close where I can see you, two, no rough play and three, don't lose each other.

Darryl tossed and turned on his bed, he couldn't get himself to sleep. He kept thinking of the gray eyes he saw today, the gray eyes that looked so much like his own. He has never been attracted to all those men that wants to see his mom like he was to the one he saw today. He wants to see him again. And after hearing his mom and aunt fight, he knew his instinct is right, that man is his father. Even though neither his aunt nor his nanny wanted to admit it, but he knew.He climbed out of his bed and approached his sister own, he gently climbed into it and gazed at her sleeping face, after what felt like minutes passed, he gently tapped her shoulder, "Sofie, wake up Sofie.""Mm, leave me alone" she pushed his hand away and flipped on the bed."Come on Sofie wake up, I need to tell you something.""Tell me tomorrow" she mumbled.Darryl pouted, "if you wake up, I will give you my cake in the morning."Sofia's eyes snapped open immediately, "you will give me your cake?

Felicity warned.Katherine heaved a sigh, "Felicity, I understand you are angry but, this is expected. You can't hide them forever.""I don't want him to know about them. For goodness sake aunt Katy, I don't want to have anything to do with him in my life again.""But you know that's not possible. No matter how bad you want to take him out of your life, you can't. As long as you still have the children, he is tied to you with them.""Not if he doesn't know about them. I want him out of my life and out of theirs. He doesn't deserve to be with them, he doesn't deserve to have them!""That's like saying it's not his blood that runs in their veins.""If I say it's not, its not."Katherine sighed, "Felicity...""Aunty Katy please" she raised her hand to stop her, "

All my friends in school use to talk about how their daddy thought them how to throw ball and builds snowmen with them. I want my daddy to teach me too and build snowmen with me" as if that wasn't enough, he looked at his little sister, "don't you want to meet daddy Sofie?"The little glutton sitting on her Mommy's lap immediately nodded continuously, "yes, I want to meet daddy.
