Terry Terry

Chapter 75 "The wedding"

In the bedroom, the new baby was loved by it's mummy and daddy, if it could talk, it would say:

"Enough for the kisses already!" The newcomer on earth was hungry, he started sucking his fingers, avidly. The mid-wives had wiped him and put a newborn diaper.

- Oh our little Billy is hungry , said Terry smiling, and it looks like the newborn diapers are already too small for you, champ!

The baby was shirtless, wrapped in a white flannel sheet. Terry took him to his mummy who was sitting in a rocking chair. Candy was breastfeeding her baby and she was happy.

- With Esther, I had to do it hiding, nobody could see me...

- And your prince didn't notice anything?

- Well I told myself, that I will cross that bridge when I get there... and thank God, I never got so far...

- But...

- I would've told him the truth, had he found out...

- You could've cancelled everything...

- Yes, but like I told you, I didn't want my father to get revenge on your mother's company...

- That's very nice of you, you could've been the selfish girl everybody thought you were...

- But I wasn't selfish, wasn't I, Sapphire eyes?

- You're a nice girl, like I love them...

- You loved me thinking I was a "bad" girl?

- The one that had a different boy in her room evey night? Ys, I loved that girl too... I love you the way you are, Candy.

He kissed her on the lips. When she finished breastfeeding the baby, Terry dressed him up and put a onesy on him and blue jumper and he took him downstairs to meet his gang

- Are you coming honey?

- I'm coming, you go ahead!

- All right. If you need me, you call me... But you just gave birth my darling, nobodywill be upset with you if you rest...

- You're sure Ashley is not going to kill me? Said Candy smiling

- Not in front of me, said Terry smiling

He approached her and kissed her. He got out of the room, carrying his son, all proud. Candy, stayed in the room and she closed her eyes to sleep a little, she was tired.

- Champ, we're going to the living room to meet your aunties and your uncles!

He arrived in the living room and he found the gang with little Esther.

- Daddy! Finally! I want to see Billy!

Terry went to sit on the couch next to Jones. Esther approached them.

- He's sleeping, she said

- Yes, babies sleep a lot when they are just born, said Terry

- Why? Asked the little one

- So that he could grow up very fast and play with you!

- Oh, said Esther laughing

Jones looked at the baby.

- He's son handsome, he looks so much like you!

- At least you have no doubt on his paternity, said Ashley

- Ashley, said Jones frowning.

- What? It's true. This is the second time she does this to you! First Esther, and then...

- Can you not talk in front of Esther, said Terry coldly

Ashley was a litte ashames. She shut up.

- In fact, this story is none of your business Ashley, it's my problem, not yours. She sacrificed herself so that our family wouldn't lose it's fortune and when I tell you that the duke could've ruined us, litteraly, I'm not kidding. She could've said, since I'm the adoptive son, she could've not care... but no... sacrificed our happiness to save the Andrew family. So you're going to stop you unpleasant remarks and your sarcasm on the woman I love and the mother of my children, otherwise you won't be welcome in my house anymore.

Ashley had blushed and she was sulking, And she didn't say anything. And then there was a silence...

- Can I carry him, said Allyson smiling to break the silence.

- Of course, said Terry smiling

Allyson took little William gently. Terry stood up to go see Candy upstairs. He got the to the room and found her soud asleep. He took his phone to take a picture She was so beautiful. He checked that she was fine and look to see if she was not bleeding too much.

- Honey, she said while sleeping, I love you...

- I love you too, my love... get some rest

- I can't keep my eyes open...

- Sleep honey. I'll come with the baby if he starts crying...

He kissed her on the cheek and left her to go back to the living room. Ashley was still there. She met up with Terry at the bottom of the stairs.

- Terry, she said sheepish.

- Ashley, what do you want?

- I'm sorry...

- You can't help yourself when it comes to Candy, I know. But you have to make an effort, otherwise I'm not kidding, you wont be welcome here...

- You know I love you and Iove your children...

- And I love Candy and that's not going to change

- I' sorry. I'm going to make an effort.

- Thanks Ashley.

They went in the living room together and Jones asked:

- So cousins, did you kiss and make up?

- Yes, said Terry.

- Good said Allyson smiling.

In the evening, Eleonor Baker, Billie and the duke arrived to see their new grandson. Terry's parent were also there. They were all carrying presents. Candy had finally got out of bed to breastfeed the baby. But she stayed in the bedroom. The grandparents went to see them in the bedroom.

- He's so cute, said Billie, smiling and thank you for the name

- I wished it was Richard, said the duke

- Esther decided, said Candy she saw him in a dream and she said his name was Billy...

- Esther? Said the duke

- That child is very charismatic, said Sandra smiling

- I suppose that children are angels, said Eleonor smiling

- I think that William is a beautiful name, said Billie smiling.

The duke didn't say a thing. A boy should've had his name, but little Esther had decided otherwise? Esther? She's a baby herself! But oh well, h eloved his grandchildren... he gave the papers to Candy.

- Here's his trustfund account,he said.

- Thank you daddy, said Candy smiling.

Henry, who didn't want to be left aside, also gave papers to Terry.

- For the baby, he said

- I suppose that having too much is no harm, said Terry taking the envelope.

He looked and he saw that there was also an account for Esther. He looked at his father and didn't say anything.

Sandra went to carry the baby...

- He looks like Terry... he's son cute she said with so much love

- That's wonderful Terry, said his father, and we have a surprise, Sandra and I are going to come and live here in Chicago, at least a big part of the year to be next to you and your family!

- What? But... we could come and see you in England

- And we could stay here to see you more often, We can't make up for lost time but we can spend the maximum time with you and your family.

- All right, said Terry smiling! Thank you!

- Candy, asked her mother, would you be available for Hathaway's project?

- For Hamlet? I have to get my waist back...

- And we have to get married for Esther, said Terry

- Oh yeah, that too...

- Robert should wait, if he want the mother and daughter team on the silver screen...

- We'll find a solution, said Candy smiling

- You can continue to work honey, said Terry, I told already.

- I'm going to do this last movie and then I'm going to take care of the children...
