Nanny Dearest

Chapter Sixty Sixty Good Days

“Marrying her? Well you did call her your fiance when you were here” My father said, we were in the backyard patio smoking cigar and drinking whiskey, Makar was with his grandmother who I’m still not talking to. 

“Yeah hold on.” I went in my pocket pulling out the case and opening it showing my father the ring for Marya. He took a pull from his cigar leaning over trying to see, gently grab the case and whistle. I smile seeing that he’s impressed by the ring. 

“You spent a mansion on her, protect her Ruslan.” He said give me the case back and I tilt my head. “Keep that one, she sweet girl.” He smiled and that caused me to cheese like a child.

“I am, I don’t know if I want to propose before we leave Russia or wait when we go back home to America.” I said and he hummed as he blew smoke. 

“I’m not going to tell you what to do but.” He took an extra cigar and handed it to me, I took it grabbing the lighter from the table. “I am going to tell you what you should do, Propose when you feel it, see with franny god rest her soul but you stressed yourself out for the proposal you planned but still was worried yes?” He asked a last minute question but I nod my head agreeing with him. 

“Propose to her when you feel it. As in the mood, the conversation. Propose on the day a normal day, When nothing is going on and she’s doing her little cleaning, sorting, hobbies or even painting her toes. When that moment happens tell her everything on your mind and place the ring.” He pulled from his cigar and picked up his glass of whiskey taking a sip. I took the bottle pouring me some more in my empty glass.

“Everyday is a normal day though besides work and I work damn near everyday.” I drink from my glass while he laughs a bit. 

“Just like you had the time to wine and dine her to the point she is almost family you’ll have the time to propose. Something different with this one, see Marya has my son behaving differently you’re more eager than stress to get things done this time and now instead of me telling you to stop stressing I’m telling you to take your time.” He leaned back in the chair, rocking a little. 

“You’re telling me to not rush it yet in the same breath you said propose on normal da-

“That means carry that ring in your pocket everyday. You could have a good feeling this week next week the week after that and you might want to propose right then in there but oh wait you left the ring home and now you are in a tough situation because you can’t get that exact moment nor feeling back.” He shrugged his shoulders explaining and I hummed nodding my head and he chuckled. 

“Oh it was brought to my attention by our family doctor she’s pregnant?” He asked and I laughed because I’ve been trying lately, everyone wants to be at my house though so I have to wait. 

“No no her sister Lyanna is, Halston got her preg-” I saw my father sit up and cough a little when Halston's name came out my mouth. I laughed reaching over patting his back, he held his hand up letting me know he's okay so I stopped and leaned back in my seat to continue. “Yeah but Halston got Lyanna pregnant, you haven’t met her yet she’s very … outspoken.” I tried my best to describe her personality. Lyanna is loud and navi but that's not a full trait of hers she had her good moments. “Basically a female version of Halston but have a brain when it comes to simple and drastic shit.” I told him and he laughed. 

“Oh that’s going to be a dangerous child.” We shared a laugh as I took a sip from my cup. “Speaking of that, did you figure out what job you are going to give your brother? He can’t be near the lab, I even sent a couple of men to raid his house making sure we have the keys to the lab so he won't casually walk right in plus if he gets to close the guards have full permission to shoot him with warning bullets.” He said and I raised and eyebrow.
