Love Always Wins

Chapter Twenty One

Three days later, Brie was resting at home on the couch when Marco came in the door.

"Hey gorgeous," Marco said.

"Hey sexy man," Brie said.

"Oh baby," Marco said.

"Sorry baby, I'm exhausted, your son is wearing me out quickly," Brie said. Marco sat down beside her and rubbed her stomach.

"Hey little guy, take it easy on Mommy, okay, she needs to get ahead of things before she has you," Marco said. He kissed her stomach. They heard the front door open and close. Trisha came in.

"Guys, I need you," Trisha said.

"What's wrong?" Brie asked.

"Chris called me, he's coming back and his parents want to meet me, I need you guys with me," Trisha said.

"Sis, I wish that was possible but Brie has been getting tired more lately, she needs to rest when she's not at work, she's six months pregnant with your nephew," Marco said.

"I'm sorry sis," Brie said.

"I figured as much so I told them to meet me here," Trisha said.

"What!" Brie said.

"Sis!" Marco said.

"I'm sorry but I can't do it alone," Trisha said.

"Okay so if we are expecting a royal visit, we should look sophisticated and elegant," Brie said.

"Chris said his parents were laid back, a simple dress would be fine," Trisha said.

"And what about me?" Marco asked.

"Dress shirt and slacks, your work attire would be fine," Trisha said.

"And when are they coming?" Brie asked.

"Soon, I'm wearing this," Trisha said.

"I'll just wear this then," Marco said.

"I'll go change," Brie said. She went upstairs and changed and came downstairs and smiled at them.

"Beautiful," Marco said. The doorbell rang. Trisha got nervous. Marco got the door.

"Hi Marco," Chris said.

"Your Royal Highness," Marco said.

"No need for that, Marco, just Chris is fine," Chris said. Marco let them inside the house.

"Mom, Dad, this is my good friend, Marco Walker," Chris said.

"Nice to meet you, Marco," Isabelle said.

"Nice to meet you," Carl said. They walked into the living room where Brie was sitting on the couch. Trisha had disappeared.

"Oh dear," Carl said.

"This is Trisha?" Isabelle asked.

"You got her pregnant?" Carl asked.

"Oh son, you must get married at once," Isabelle said.

"Excuse me, I'm sorry, I'm not......" Brie started to say.

"You most certainly are marrying my son, I will not let my grandchild be born without his or her parents married," Isabelle said.

"Mom," Chris said.

"Son, listen to your mother, go propose to her right now," Carl said.

"Hey everyone please stop," Brie said. Trisha came into the room and looked at them.

"What's going on?" Trisha asked.

"Your majesties," Marco said.

"Chris, go do it right now," Carl said. Chris shook his head and walked over to Trisha and kissed her softly and pulled her close.

"Christopher!" Isabelle said.

"Son what are you doing," Carl said.

"He's trying to tell you that she is Trisha, not me," Brie said.

"Trisha is my sister, this is her best friend, Brie, who is my girlfriend and having my baby," Marco said.

"I'm Trisha Walker," Trisha said.

"Mom, Dad," Chris said.

"We are so sorry, she was alone in here and we thought she was your girlfriend," Isabelle said.

"Brie tried to tell you but you kept interrupting her," Chris said.

"We do apologize for the misunderstanding, we should have waited for introductions," Carl said.

"Yes Dad, I was going to introduce you to Brie and explain who she was," Chris said.

"We are so sorry for thinking you were Trisha," Isabelle said.

"It's fine, now you know who is who," Brie said.

"Let's have a seat and get to know the young lady who has captured our son's heart," Carl said. They all sat down to talk and get to know each other. Marco sat with Brie as they watched Trisha speak with the king and queen.
