Chapter 84
Keane was right behind her, fright written all over his handsome face.
Grandma Shiley walks in, “get out of my way little brats,” she said, pushing Keane to the side. But Keane was unwilling to go.
“It’s my wife for crying out loud grandma, you can’t possibly chase me like that” he complains, worried.
Grandma Shiley chuckles, seeing how cute and concerned he is.
“I am not stealing your sweet wife from you, let me have a look ” she grumbles. Only then did Keane move to the side. Though not completely satisfied.
She thought he was gone only to turn and see him, standing by the side.
Her mouth twitched to the side,” You stinky brat, you never listen to me… get out let me have a chat with my daughter ” She pushed him out and closed the door.
Keane stood outside, confused about what to do.
Behind them were Grandpa Jimmy, Wright, Austin, Derrick, Lisa, and Bruice waiting anxiously to know what was wrong with her.
Derrick’s face was pale but not as compared to Keane’s. It’s like he will die if anything happens to her.
” I wonder what’s going in there! ” Grandpa Jimmy said, in an almost impatient tone.
” Why are they taking this long? ” Came Derrick’s question, the worried look on his face was vivid and Lisa couldn’t help but wonder what was going on.
Everyone seemed to care about her, Wright and Austin stayed quiet the whole time but the worried expression on their faces said it all.
Just who is Smiles that is capable of turning everyone’s mood with just a click of her fingers?
*Inside the room*
Grandma Shiley kept staring at Smiles with a bright and sparkling face.
It felt awkward, she could only smile back at her.
“What’s wrong, Grandma?” She asked. Grandma Shiley shakes her head,
“Not wrong… instead ask what’s making me happy” she corrected.
“Ok, what’s making you happy?” She asked again. A broad smile appears on Grandma Shirley’s face.
“You’ve made me happy, pretty one… you’ve made Grandma Shiley very happy, you’ve given me my one last wish,” Grandma Shiley said and pulled her in a tight hug making sure not to make her feel uncomfortable.
“I don’t understand… how?” She asked, wanting to know more.
“You are pregnant!” Grandma Shiley broke the news to her. Eyes wide open in shock.
“Tell me it’s for real grandma,” she asked, holding herself from screams. Grandma Shiley nods in response.
Feeling excited, she loses it and screams in joy, she just can’t believe she’s pregnant with Keane, that he’s carrying their baby.
Her screams were so loud that the anxious souls outside heard her.
Keane’s body was now boiling hot. He doesn’t know what’s happening inside and the scream just worries everything.
Just as he was about to knock, the door opened.
Both ladies came out with sad faces as if something bad had happened.
Keane quickly rushed to her side, taking her into his arms, unwilling to let go.
“What’s wrong with her? Why the sad faces?” Grandpa Jimmy asked, looking at his wife for an answer but she didn’t say a word and just stayed quiet.
Derrick couldn’t take any more silence from both ladies, so he yelled. “What the heck is going on here, can you please split the beans?” His gaze travels back and forth through Smiles and Grandma Shiley.This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
Smiles turn to Grandma, and she nods.
“I… I am…. ” She pauses, still with a sad face on.
“Pregnant!!” She yells happily. This caught everyone by surprise including Keane.
He claps on her face, making her stare at him in the eyes.
“Y-you serious? Are we pregnant?” He stutters. She nods with an affirming smile.
Before she could even think, he picked her up in one swift movement swaying her around. The contentment he was feeling was indescribable.
They are going to be parents soon, they are going to have cute little Smiles.
Grandma Shiley quickly rushed to his side, stopping him from turning her any further.
“Can’t you see she’s pregnant, she doesn’t need stress” Grandma Shiley explains grumpily.
Keane scratched his behind neck, feeling sorry and shy.
Smiles giggles and places a light kiss on his lips.
“I am fine” she assured. He hugs her.
The entire mansion was lively, every one congratulating the soon-to-be parent.
“Ready to be an uncle?” Keane turned to Derrick who was clasping Smiles.
“You are indeed a good scorer, I wasn’t expecting it quite so soon but I don’t mind” he jokes and they laugh.
Grandma Shiley and the husband couldn’t wait any further as they started discussing preparations for the baby shower.
They were neither ashamed of openly making their intentions known of wanting the child to bear their names, Shiley for a girl and Jimmy for a boy.
“Congratulations Smiles!” Lisa said as Smiles turned to her. She almost totally forgot she was with them.
“Thank you… ” Smiles was grateful for her still being with them regardless of their past.
“Congratulations will surely meet you too” Smiles hug her, and she laughs at her words.
“Hopefully” she added.
Bruce didn’t waste any time and congratulated both couples.
But the congratulations were soon to begin, Keane had a bigger announcement to make.
He cleared his throat, getting the attention of everyone seated in the dining.
“I, we have another good news” he pauses and turns to smile. She nods, smiling.
“We have decided to get married, to make our forever promises” he informs.
“When?” Grandma Shiley asked.
“Tomorrow!” Keane nonchalantly tells everyone in the room as they all exclaim at the same time, “What?”
He chuckles, “Why what? Can’t we get married?” He raised a brow.
“No son, it’s not like that… but isn’t that so soon? I mean, you just told us today and it can’t possibly be tomorrow” Wright explains his thoughts.
“Moreover, we haven’t sent invitations out yet…The cards are not ready” Grandma Shiley complains.
