The next day.
I walk to and fro in front of our be-d. Right now I feel so frustrated, suffocated. I have been trying to leave the mansion and go to the hospital to confirm the pregnancy, but the two hulky guards won’t let me even leave the room.
They have been watching me like a hawk. I thought of tricking them but their emotionless expression discouraged me.
Maybe I should try again.
I walk towards the door and open it gently, I stick my right leg out and take a peek at them. They are both staring at me with a blank expression, arms crossed across their che-st.
I laughed nervously.
“What a lovely day, huh?” I said.
They didn’t reply, just staring at me.
“I think today is [email protected] good for sunbathing, yeah?”
They still didn’t say nothing. Humph! Aren’t these guys taking this job a little too serious? Or they aren’t getting the hint that I want to go out?
I guess I will have to tell them more clearly.
“Guys, no sirs, I’m gonna die of boredom if I don’t get out now. How about you let me take a walk in the garden?”
“No!” Travis finally speak.
He managed to speak and no is the word he could utter.
“But I will just be in the garden,,, strolling,,, with you watching me”
“No!”
“It’s not as if I’m gonna outrun you guys” I mentally roll my eyes, of course I’d outrun them.
“No!”
Ok, I’m getting frustrated with him saying only one word.
“Why are you just saying no, no, no? How about you try using another word, like yes!”
“Sorry ma’am, but we are un-der strict orders from the General not to let you leave. No matter how persuasive you are”
I know it’s the hand work of that big head Dean! I will so crush him when I see him!
I guess I can try my killer move on them. I brou-ght out my cutest puppy eyes and pout myl-ips, ma-king sure they quiver a little.
“plea-se, let,,,,”
“Don’t try that move on us, we are immune to it” Scott said.
I gro-an , this is hopeless. I don’t have a choice, all I can do now is tell them the truth.
“Well, since you don’t want me to leave, I must tell you why I really wanna leave the mansion today”
“Why?” Travis asked.
“I wanna go to the hospital for some check ups”
Suddenly both of them flin-ch and later breath in relief.
“Are you guys ok?”
“Y-yes” they stutter out.
I frown and look at them strangely but nod.
“Right, plea-se keep this from Dean” I wanna confirm before I inform him.
“M’lady, I think it’s too late to keep it from him” Scott told me.
“What is too late?”
“The General heard you talking and he’s alre-ady on his way here”
“Huh? How did he get to hear me talk?”
They point to their ears.
“Bluetooth!”
Oh no! I didn’t want him to know yet,,,, wait, he doesn’t know anything. I’ll just tell him I want to check if I have any hidden disease in me.
Then I heard heavy footsteps, rushing towards us, like someone is running in the stairs. I quic-kly rush back in the room and fall on our be-d, I cover myself with the duvet and close my eyes as if I’m slee-ping.
“Angel, I heard you wanted to go to the hospital,,, are you sick?” He felt my temperature. “Your temperature is normal, is it a stomachache? Or is it because you were vomiting?”
I slightly open my eyes and steal a peek at him. He look so worried, he frown as worry lines appears on his forehead.
“My Phoebe, open your eyes and tell me what’s wrong”
I sat up and take in his appearance. He’s sweating and he look kinda tired.
Was he working out or something?.
“Dean, why are you sweating so much?”
“I was in the dungeon”
“Interrogation?”
“Yes”
“I have told, you can’t always get the truth out of people by using violence. Sometime, you sweet talk them to confess everything”
“Not in this case. I had [email protected] sweet talk him but he wouldn’t say anything, so I had to torture him to confess”
“So, has he confess now?”
“No, this Eric is such a headache!”
I frown as the name rings in my ear.
“Eric?!” Don’t tell me it’s the same Eric that messed with my Brittany.
“What’s wrong? Do you know him?”
“The name does ring a bell but I’m not sure if they are the same person” I paused. “Can I come with you to interrogate him?”
“No! I don’t like it when you go to that filthy place”
“But you will be there with me”
“No, you are not going!”
“You are gonna be there, I,,,,”
“No!”
I glared at him and decided not to argue more. I can sneak there later, if it’s the same Eric then I will get my revenge on him for messing with my Brittany.
“So, what is wrong? I heard you wanted to visit the hospital”
“Yeah, I’m fine. I just want to, you know,,,, do some random check up, to make sure I don’t have any hidden disease in my system”
“Random check up? Lee can do that, I will ask [email protected] to get him here”
“No, I wanna go to the hospital, you know, get some fresh air too”
He narrowed his eyes at me. I simply blinked innocently and pout myl-ips. His eyes settled on myl-ips, I know he’s tryna control himself so as to not k!ssme.
He sighs.
“Fine. You can go to the hospital but on one condition”
“Which is?”
“I’m coming with you!”
I frown.
“How are you gonna come with me? With your mask on?”
“Yes”
“No! You can’t come with me like that to a hospital”
“Why?”
“Little kids are gonna be there, you’re gonna scare them and possibly cause them to have nightmares”
“Oh!”
“Yeah oh”
We stay in a comfortable silence until he breaks it.
“I can go without it then”
“Huh?” I asked surprised.
“I can go without my mask”
“B-but I thought I don’t like it when people see your face”
“It doesn’t matter now”
“What do you mean?”
“I alre-ady have a woman in my life now, so it doesn’t matter if they see my face”
I frown. What is he talking about?
“How does having a woman in your life connect with you wearing mask?”
His ears and nose suddenly turn red and he scratches the back of his n£¢k nervously. Oh my gosh! Don’t tell me my General is,,,, blu-shing!!!
“The reason I’m wearing mask is kinda silly”
“Tell me”
“Well, I don’t like it when women gawk at me, gush over me and because I’m so handsome women kept stalking me, I never get any peace. They were always asking for my number, or a night with me. It was getting out of hand so [email protected] suggested I use masks that it’ll scare them away, so I did and it worked. Since then, I have always been using mask”
It’s a silly reason but I kinda un-derstand him. I can’t stand two people gushing over me.
“But how come your mask didn’t scare me away?”
“Hmm, maybe that’s because we were meant to be together”
“Right”
“Ok, when are we gonna go to the hospital?”
“Right now!”
He nods.
“[email protected]!”
[email protected] rushed in. Is he always on standby?
“Yes, General”
“Go get the car running”
“Yes, sir” he leaves immediately.
“Angel, I should take a quic-k shower”
I begin to sniff around and cough.
“So that smell was coming from you! Eww!”
He chuckled softly and walk towards the bathroom.
*
*
*Oh my God!*
*How can someone be this handsome!*
*I swear he’s a Greek god!*
*Do you think he’s Hades!*
*I wanna marry him*
*I can tell he’s my soulmate*
I roll my eyes and gro-an .
This is what I have been hearing as Dean and I walk throu-gh the hospital hallways. Wherever we past by, the people there will st©p what they were doing and gush over Dean.
Even nurses paused and stared at Dean with dreamy eyes.
“Excuse me!” A girl of about 12years st©pped us.
“Hello, how may we help you?” I asked her.
She giggled and faced Dean.
“You are so handsome!” She said.
I see Dean’s face turned red. I guess he’s embarras-sed. Hmm, I will so enjoy this show.
“Uh,, thanks?”
“Are you married? Do you have a girlfriend?”
“No!” I quic-kly answer before Dean could speak. I wanna see what she is up to.
“Really? You don’t have a girlfriend?”
“I ha,,,,,,”
“No, he doesn’t have a girlfriend. He is so single!” Dean frowned at me.
“That’s nice. I want to marry you, will you be my husband?”
Uh-oh,,, I didn’t see that coming. The Dean I know is so gonna break this poor girl’s heart.
“Marry me. I’m pretty too and I am your perfect match”
“Little girl, aren’t you too young to talk about marriage?”
“Nope! I know what I want when I see it and I want him. I want him to marry me”
“Well, I’m sorry little one” Dean said in a surprisingly calm voice, where did he get this voice from?.
He pu-ll-ed me to his side and wra-p his arm ti-ghtly around my [email protected]!st.
“I alre-ady have a wife, this is my wife. Isn’t she pretty too? So she is my perfect match!”
The little girl’s eyes turn red as they brim with tears. I tried to move away from Dean but he wouldn’t let me, he leans down and pe-cks myl-ips.
“Don’t k!ssher!” The little girl cries. “I want you to marry me! I want to be your wife too!”
An elderly woman rushed towards us and holds her.
“Amelia, that’s enough. Come on let’s go home”
“Grandma, I love him”
“Don’t worry there are far more handsome men than him” her grandmother as-sured her.
“That’s not true. I only want him, he’s so handsome” she cries.
Her grandmother faces us with a polite smile.
“I’m sorry about my granddaughter, she usually doesn’t behaves like this. I’m so sorry”..
“That’s not a problem, ma’am. In fact I admire her boldness” Dean said.
“We’ll leave you be now” she drags Amelia away.
When they are out of hearing, I bur-st into laughter.
“Angel, st©p laughing”
“No, it’s so funny. A 12years old, proposing marriage to the big bad General”
“Well, I asked you to marry me last night and you refused. See what just happened? Other people are willing to marry me”
“They should marry you then, you shouldn’t have reject this sweet little angel just now”
“Hmm, I’ll reject everyone because I have my eyes only on you, you are the only one I see”
“Awwwn! That’s so sweet!” I ti-ptoe and k!sses his cheek. “But you could have rejected that girl in a more calmer way”
“I was polite enough. Also it’s your fault too”.
“How??”
“You told her I don’t have a girlfriend”
“Yeah, cause I wanted to see what she wanna do”
He rolled his eyes. Just then Brittany [email protected]£ out and st©ps dead on her tracks. She points her hand and opens her mouth to speak but nothing [email protected]£ out.
Dean and I exchange looks.
“Britt, are you ok?”
“W-who,, w-who is he?” She asked.
“Him? He’s Dean!”
“Dean?! Like,,, he’s the General?!”
“Yes”
“Oh my goodness!! He’s so handsome,,,, I,, I can’t,, handsome is not the word. He is so beautiful, no, he’s gorgeous!!”
“Britt, you have a b©yfri£nd. I don’t think your b©yfri£ndwill appreciate you gushing over his elder brother”
She rolled her eyes.
“I have a b©yfri£nddoesn’t mean I can’t appreciate God’s creation”
“So I should tell him about this?”
“Don’t even think of it! Anyways, doc Mike is re-ady for you”
I gr-ab Dean’s hand and pu-ll him along with me.
“Let’s go before Britt faints over you”
*
*
“Congratulations, miss Cox”
Dean look at me with a confused expression but I know what doc Mike is talking about.
“Why are you congratulating her?” Dean asked.
“General, she is 14days pregnant”
Pregnant!!!
That word ring throu-gh my ear. So it’s true, Britt is right. I’m pregnant,,,, there’s a small human growing in me right now!
“S-she,, y-you,, s-she,,,,,” Dean’s short of words. He keeps looking at my stomach with surprise.
Uh-oh! I hope it’s not what I’m afraid of. He’s not gonna say we should abort it, right?
Before I knew it, he’s swoops me off the chair and twirls me around in his arms. He st©ps and crashed hisl-ips on mine, he pours all his emotions on the k!ss.
I can feel his love and promise in the k!ss. He breaks the k!ssand look into my eyes.
I swear this was not the reaction I was expecting but I love this reaction best.
“My Phoebe, did you hear that? We are having a baby! We are gonna be parents!”
“Wait, why did you just concluded that the baby is yours?”
He scoff.
“Oh plea-se, I deflowered you, remember”
“Oh” I blush.
“I’m gonna be a dad! I’m gonna be a father! I’ll have someone calling me, dad, dad, dad! When he’s hungry he’ll be like, dad I’m hungry. When he wants a toy gun he’ll be like, dad I want that toy gun. I will teach him so many things and how to lead an army! I will,,,,,, ”
“Dean” I cut him off. “Can we talk about all this when we get back to the mansion? And I’m not gonna let you teach my child how to lead any army!”
“But he’s a General’s son,,,,, ”
“What if it’s a girl?”
“We have women in the army”
“Dean,,,, ”
“I can train her and she’ll even be stronger than men”
“Shut up, Dean!” He nods and shuts up immediately.
I turned to doc Mike, he’s being watching us in amusement.
“Sorry, about that doctor. Is there anything else we should know about?”
“No, nothing else. Just don’t forget to come for follow up check up every month”
“Ok, thanks doctor”
“You’re welcome”
I turn back to Dean.
“Let’s go!” He nods, he suddenly carried me bridal style and I frown. “What are you doing?”
“Carrying you back to the car!”
“But I can walk”
“You are pregnant, you shouldn’t stress yourself”
“I’m pregnant not crippled”
“Shh, just enjoy it”
“You are impossible!”
“I know. When we get home, I’ll talk to my baby, I will let him know I’m his dad”
I sigh in relief. From Dean’s tone, he’s so happy and excited to be a father. I just hope nothing bad happens later.

“You can put me down now”
“No!”
“But we are back in the mansion”
“No! I will carry you all the way to our room”
I shrink back in his arms and kept quiet. It’s better I let him do whatever he wants. He’s even more excited than I am about the baby.
My stomach growls loudly and he chuckled.
“Are you hungry?” He asked.
“Yeah”
I haven’t eaten since morning, I think I nee-d to st©p starving myself now that I know I’m pregnant.
He opens the door to our room and step inside. He la-id me on the be-d and care-sses my cheeks.
“Wait here, I’ll go prepare something for you to eat” I nod and he leaves.
********
30minutes later,,,
Why isn’t he back yet? I’m gonna die of hunger soon. Maybe I should go check on him.
I got off the be-d and walk down the stairs, I step in the floor where my ex-room was. I heard hushed voices as I got closer to a door, they seem to be arguing about something important.
I moved closer to the door and placed my ear on the door.
*You can’t continue living here* a female voice said, it sounds like Mrs Morgan.
Who could she be talking to?.
*Why not?* Dean’s uncle?
*Because our secret will be expo-sed*
Secrets?
*Which is why we shouldn’t keep it a secret anymore, let’s tell him. Let’s let him know he’s our son!*
I [email protected] loudly but quic-kly covers my mouth. I guess they heard me because Jeremy yelled from inside.
“Who’s that?!”
quic-kly, I run down the stairs and just at the third step, I lost my balance and fell down.
“Ouch!” I cry out as my head hits the ha-rd tiles.
“Angel?” Dean quic-kly drop the plate of pancakes aside and rushed to help me up.
I stand up and look up, Jeremy stands at the t©p of the stairs glaring daggers at me. Mrs Morgan’s not besides him.
“Are you ok? Why were you running? You have to be extra careful now that you’re,,,,,, ”
“I’m fine!” I cut him off.
I gesture for him to look up, he did and saw Jeremy.
“Was he chasing you?” He whispers in my ear.
“Kinda, I heard something” I whisper back.
“Come on, let’s go to our room” I nod.
But I hissed out in pain when I tried to move my legs.
“What is it?”
“I think I sprained my ankle!”
He hands the plate of pancakes to me and carries me.
“You should’ve stayed in our room, why did you leave?”
“You were taking too long so I wanted to come find you”
He doesn’t say anything more, he simply walk in silence. He walk past his uncle and head towards our room.
He sat me on the be-d and sits next to me.
“I told you to stay away from my uncle. Why didn’t you listen?”
“I didn’t mean to eavesdrop”
“What did you hear?”
“I heard your Mom arguing with him that he shouldn’t stay here no more. And they also talked about a secret”
“Secret?”
“Yes. Jeremy wanted your Mom to tell someone who his real dad is!”
Dean stilled and stayed silent. He seems to be thinking, like he’s connecting dots in his head.
Just then the door bur-st open and Javier rushes in with a big smile.
“Brother! I have brou-ght good news!” He said.
Dean rolled his eyes and quic-kly whisper in my ear. “Don’t let Javier know about what you heard” I nod.
“What good news?” Dean asked him.
Javier pushed Dean away from me and gives me a life squee-zing hvg. I tap his back when I couldn’t take it no more.
“Aurora, why did you keep something as joyful as this away from us”
I looked at him confused.
“Brother, Aurora is pregnant!!”
“Yay!!!” Dean mocks him.
Javier’s smile falters. He look between Dean and I with narrowed eyes.
“Don’t tell me you alre-ady knew about it”
“We know”
“fuc-k!” I sma-cked his head. “Hey, what’s that for?”
“Don’t curse in front of my baby!” I scold him.
“Sorry” he said.
Dean clears his throat.
“Erm, Javier?”
“Yeah?”
“Don’t tell anyone about the pregnancy yet”
“Huh? Why?”
“We want to keep it a secret for now” I explained.
“What about Mom?”
“Especially Mom, she mustn’t know!” Dean said sternly.
“But she’s our mother, she nee-ds to know about her grandbaby”
“Javier, we wanna surprise Mom. If you tell her now, we won’t get the reaction we want” I told him.
He nod and smile.
“Oh! Now I get it!”
We hear a knock on the door.
“General” [email protected] called from outside.
Dean walk towards the door to meet him. Javier takes a piece of pancakes and brings it to my mouth.
“Eat! I want my nephew to be super strong!” He said.
“What makes you think it’ll be a boy?”
“Uncle’s instincts. It’s called uncle’s instincts”
I shake my head. These Morgans brothers and their weird ideas. Dean [email protected]£ back in.
“Javier, I’ll leave Phoebe un-der your care, I’ll be back soon”
“Ok, but where are you going?”
“Somewhere that doesn’t concern you”
“Ok”
“But are you going to the dungeon?” I asked him.
“No! And don’t think of going there!” He said, I simply nod.
Dean leans down and k!sses my forehead.
“I’ll be right back” I nod and Dean leaves.
Now is an opportunity to visit the dungeon and have a talk with that Eric, I only hope Javier will let me go.
“My sweet brother-in-law, I want you to do a tiny favour for me”
“What?”
“Can we go to the dungeon?”
“Dungeon? Ian just said you shouldn’t go there”
“There’s something I wanna confirm, we won’t take long”
“No! Ian will kill me if I let you go there”
“plea-se, we won’t spend too much time there”
“No!”
“plea-se, plea-se, plea-se”
“No!”
Humph! Who knew Javier could be this stubborn too. Maybe I should try another method.
Wait,,,, he’s so in love with his unborn nephew, maybe I can use him. Hehehehe,,, Javier you think you are Wise.
“Fine! I won’t go. But that’ll just make me sad, and me being sad is not good for the baby. The baby will be so stressed out and who knows he might come out prematurely, and that will make him weak and if he’s weak hell,,,,, ”
“Ok! Ok! Let’s go, but we mustn’t stay too long”
I jump off the be-d.
“Yes, sir!”
*
*
|| Ian/Dean ||
“[email protected], are the guards re-ady?”
“Yes, General. I have five more guards re-ady”
“Good. They should be her ghost guards and protect her in secret”
“Ghost guards?”
“Yes, I don’t think My Phoebe can handle five more guards, she’s alre-ady complaining about the two guards I as-signed to her”
We st©pped at the secret room where my dad is.
“General, Miss Aurora just left the room”..
“What? I told her not to leave,,, where is Javier?”
“Oh, they both left together”
I sigh and rolled my eyes.
“She’s fine then, Javier can take care of her”
With my uncle around I nee-d to be very careful and now that My Phoebe is pregnant with our baby I must be extra cautious.
“Stand guard here, don’t let anyone come in!”
“Yes, sir!!”
I pushed the door open and step in. My dad is standing close to the window, looking outside. Though he can see everything outside, but people outside can’t see him inside.
“Dad!”
He turns to me and smile.
“Son, you are here!”
He walk towards the small sitting area in the room and sat down, I also sat next to him.
“Dad, I have good news”
“What good news?”
“My Phoebe is pregnant dad! You are gonna have a grandbaby soon!!”
He grins and hvgs me, he pats my back.
“Congrats, son, that’s a real good news” he pu-ll away from the hvg.
“Dad, I’ll try my best to find whoever tried to kill you soon and when everything is over, I’ll get you out of here”
He scoffed.
“What if the person is closer to us than we think?”
I frown. Closer to us? Then who could that person be?
“I don’t un-derstand you, dad. It seems like you know the person, if you know him, plea-se tell me”
He laughs dryly.
“I want to ask you a question”
“Go ahead”
“Your girlfriend is pregnant, let’s say she gave birth, you love the baby and cared for him so much, you’re even re-ady to [email protected] your life for his. But after do many years you found out that you aren’t the baby’s father. What would you do?”
“This isn’t a story, right? It’s something that happened to you, correct?”
He simply smiles and shake his head.
“Son, just know that I love you. I wanna sleep” and just like that he head towards his be-d and lied down, leaving me with my thoughts.
I believe this happened to him,, Mom must have cheated on him. But who is the illegitimate son between Javier and I.
Wait,,,, Phoebe said Jeremy was telling Mom to tell someone the truth and let him know his real father. Could it be that it was Jeremy Mom had an affair with?
If yes who is the son they are talking about? Javier or me?
I nee-d to talk to Mom. I must talk to Mom.
