"What happened?" Daryl asked Kenzie after she ended the call. They were inside the mall to buy another pair of customized pajamas for his father-in-law to give him a surprise while relaying the good news.
"It's Brix. Aunt Lenny is giving him a hard time. She wants Brix to let her choose the woman he marries/ to marry the woman she chooses before she agrees to sign the contract I made. Ah! I don't understand her thoughts at all!! That contract is obviously to Brix's advantage so she should have no problem signing it. I mean her reason for fighting against me was to secure Brix's future, and I am giving her exactly what she wants. There are even a few properties under her name in the contract. Geez, she's so twisted!"
Daryl chuckled and pulled Kenzie closer to him as they sat on the couch while waiting for the clothes.
"Relax, it's not good for our baby if you are stressed out. We will definitely figure something out okay? For now, let's just focus on celebrating as we tell the good news to father," Daryl said, trying to soothe her.
Soon after, the couple took the packed clothes and went to the hospital.
"You two, what's that in your hands?" Jack asked as soon as he saw the familiar paper bags in Daryl's hands.
"Don't tell me you guys bought another set of sleepwear for me?" Jack commented.
Daryl laughed and nodded before quickly giving it to him.
"Father, you will definitely like this new pair we bought. I promise…" Daryl said with a wide grin on his face.
Jack looked at him suspiciously and moved his gaze to Kenzie, who was standing quietly, and accepted the paper bag from him. He took the pyjamas inside the bag and as soon as he opened the jacket he read the words printed on it out loud, "I'm proud to be a grandpa!"
"What? Grandpa! I'm going to be a grandpa?!" Jack burst, looking at his daughter Kenzie, who was standing near him with a slightly blushing face, looking down shyly.
He then looked at Daryl and said, "Daryl, tell me, you guys are joking with me right?"
"Why would we father? I already told you I was working hard to fulfill this desire of yours, and Ta-dah!! All my effort bore fruit…" Daryl proudly and shamelessly stated, making Kenzie blush even harder. She stared at him and shook her head. Her father signaled her to come closer, so she went and held his hand saying, "Are you happy dad? You are going to be a grandpa soon."
Jack nodded with a wide smile and tears in his eyes. He was so overwhelmed with happiness that he wanted to get up and dance.
He looked at Butler Mark and said, "Hey Mark!! I'm going to be a grandpa! We will soon have a little Kenzie in our house, playing everywhere around the mansion, filling it with her chatter and laughs. I am so happy today. We should have a feast!"
"Congratulations, Master Jack," Butler Mark said with a smile.
Kenzie looked at both Jack and Daryl before teasing them by saying, "But dad, what would you do if we have a son? What if he doesn't talk much and is always sulky and quiet like your son-in-law?"
Hearing her, Jack burst out in laughter whereas Daryl pouted and0 looked at Kenzie, his eyes carrying hints of danger.
"Baby, if you call me sulky and boring, then how do you describe yourself, who pursued me so diligently and finally ended up marrying me?" He retorted.
"Oh thaaat! I simply fell for your handsome face and couldn't stop myself from marrying you." Kenzie replied, making everyone smile. Daryl also laughed when he heard her words and shook his head at her playfulness.
"By the way dad, Daryl's father is on his way to visit you. He will be here soon…" Kenzie informed him.
"Wait, have I met him before?" Jack asked.
"Yes, you did and you two definitely clicked. You both sat together during the wedding and kept talking about your future grandchildren a lot. Don't worry, he knows about your situation and is aware that you have lost your recent memories." Kenzie explained, to which Jack nodded.
After a few hours, Daryl's father arrived carrying a lot of gifts for Kenzie's father.
"Dad, this is Daryl's father…" Kenzie introduced.
"Hi, I'm Marcus," Daryl's father introduced himself and extended his hand for a handshake.
"Hi Marcus. I'm sorry about this. I heard that we have already met and…" Jack timidly said. But Daryl's father waved his other hand as he said, "Hey, it's okay. Losing a few memories is nothing. What is most important is that you are well and with us right here. You can regain your memories with time so don't stress about it. For now, we can wait for our grandchildren together and ask these two to give us more grandkids soon." Marcus commented with a smile.
Jack felt very happy to meet Marcus and they both chatted for a long time. Daryl and Kenzie also sat down and enjoyed their time with both their fathers together.
Seeing Kenzie, Jack was reminded of his wife and the time she told him about her pregnancy. He was overjoyed when he learned about it and he eagerly waited for Kenzie to be born.
Though his wife didn't survive the childbirth, he took care of Kenzie single handedly and enjoyed the days spent with her. Oh, how he loved to hear Kenzie's childish voice and hear her talk to her toys when he was not around, or when she always giggled and ran around the house for him to catch her and make her eat.
He always took very good care of Kenzie giving her the best things. His memories were now full of Kenzie's childhood including the naughty Kenzie who grew up and didn't agree with his marriage arrangements for her, at least that's what he heard according to Butler Mark. How much of a hard time she had given him and how stubborn she had become because he had spoiled her rotten, only he knew.
Jack smiled as he now wanted to hold his grandchild in his hands and create so many new memories with him.
Kenzie and Daryl were delighted to see both the old men talking about their past, the time they spent with their children, and how they would now spoil their grandkids.
For a few moments, all Kenzie could visualize was a small child who was spoiled rotten by his two granddads…
Daryl, who sat beside Kenzie, was also enjoying the chat between them. He looked at Kenzie and grabbed her arm pulling her towards himself. Kenzie gasped and looked at him, raising her eyebrows. He came closer to her and whispered in her ears,
"So, I am a sulky and boring husband?" he questioned, his voice heavy and dangerous. Kenzie, who understood the danger behind that tone knew that she had to coax her husband and pacify him.
"No, no… I have the most handsome man as my husband. He cannot be compared with anyone else at all. How can you be a boring and sulky person!"
Daryl ignored her sweet words and said, "Mrs. Cha! I will make sure you repay me for the words you said earlier."
Kenzie lifted an eyebrow and asked mischievously, "What do you plan to do my dear hubby?"
Daryl looked deeply into her eyes and replied, "I will make you scream my name in bed the entire night and won't stop until you beg me to!"
"Reeaally? Are you sure you can do that now? Because as far as I know, we are not allowed to have sex for at least the next few weeks. And even if we do, you cannot be very rash and will have to be a very gentle, husband darling!" Kenzie said and giggled.
Daryl's eyes opened wide hearing this and he suddenly exclaimed, "What?! No! Impossible!"
Kenzie hid her mouth in her hands and laughed seeing his reaction and dissatisfaction after hearing this from her.
Daryl was really flustered when he came to know that he won't be able to enter his favorite alley for a few weeks! He pleadingly looked at her and asked if she was joking again. When Kenzie confirmed that she wasn't joking and that they needed to take precautions until her first trimester was complete, he sat down gloomily.
Kenzie secretly giggled at his gloomy face before she leaned towards him and said, "We can do it as long as you are gentle and I don't feel any discomfort while we do it."
Daryl's face lit up when he heard her. He couldn't wait for too long and wanted to take her home immediately for some gentle lovemaking. How much he craved to hold her in his arms and bury himself in her depths.
While they were busy in their little conversation and teasing each other, Jack and Marcus were busy deciding who would keep the baby and for how many days. They were intelligent enough to give each other a chance to spend time with the baby. It was also to leave the parents alone after the baby is one year old so that they could have time to make more babies for them to play with.
On the other side, Daryl was thinking how difficult it would be to refrain himself from being intimate with Kenzie so the option of having a second child was automatically deleted from his brain immediately.
