The Unexpected Brides

The Announcement

"What do you think Abuelo is gonna tell us?" A beautiful brunette asked her sister, who was another brunette who was walking along side her in the corridor of their huge mansion.

"I don't know sis" the shorter brunette shrugged, blue eyes twinkling in amusement "Maybe he just wants to see us, you know, talk with us and force us to drink his favourite tea!"

Both girls blanched at that.

"I don't know" the taller brunette frowned."I think it's pretty serious"

"Why would you think so Sofia?"

"Gut feeling Dawn"

When the sisters reached the room of their grandfather, they stood outside his room. Staring at the door, contemplating whether to go in or not.

Dawn groaned "Ugh! This all your fault!"

"Why is it mine?!"

"Because you said it seems pretty serious" Dawn snorted "and now you got us both nervous"

"Well sorry" Sofia scoffed "I was just pointing out the facts!"

"Girls, you do know I can hear clearly" a familiar old voice said before chuckling "Come on in, don't be scared"

The girls sighed. "Oh well, let's get this over with" Sofia muttered.

When the two girls entered the room, they saw their grandfather; a man of great honor and heart, sitting on his favorite antique couch in the middle of the room.

"Sit down" He gestured to the opposite couch in front of him, with a mahogany coffee table in between.

"Buenos días Gramps" the girls greeted in unison as they sat down. Few moments later, a maid came in and poured them all a cup of tea.

After the maid did it's task, she quickly left. Mr. Timoteo stared at his favourite granddaughters, both girls were wearing the white sundress he bought them.

He cleared his throat, gaining the attention of both girls who were glaring at their tea trying to bore a hole through the cup and empty its contents.

But there was no such luck.

"How are my favourite girls today?" He grinned as he took a sip at his favourite earl gray tea.

"bien " Dawn replied.

"Why did you call us Grandpa?" Sofia asked as she stirred her tea absentmindedly, refusing to drink it.

"What? Can't the old man see his favorite grandaughters?" The old man teased.

Dawn snorted "Old? Come on Abuelo! That's the oldest trick in the book"

Sofia smiled politely "And you barely look old Abuelo, your still in your sixties"

"Well, can't an old man dream?" He sniffled teasingly.

"Your the only crazy person I've met who wants to be old" Dawn grinned "But that's why your my favourite gramps!"

Mr. Timoteo chuckled "Is it now?"

"I swear"

"Okay, now back to the point" Sofia coughed, gaining the other occupants in the room's attention.

"Why did you call us here Abuelo?" She asked once again.

The man's face turned pretty serious, all the traces that showed he was laughing awhile ago was gone.

The girls gulped nervously. This means serious business.

"Lady Dawn Marry" He said as he looked at the youngest brunette and then looking at the other one "Louisiana Sofia Marry"
