Father's Day

Chapter 8 "Destiny's little schemes"

The house was fully furnished and looked totally different, a more beautiful. Candy looked at the furniture and she realized that it was those they chose years ago when they were making their plans. He remembered everything!

- Oh my God! She said out loud.

The staff appeared to introduce themselves. Candy smiled.

- What does Madam want to eat for diner?

- Nothing fancy, said Candy, roasted chicken, French fries, salad. Set a table for two

- Very well Madam

Candy went upstairs to look at Angel's room, it was full of characters from Sesame Street as decoration, the walls, the furniture, the sheets, the comforter, the curtains, it also had hundreds of stuffed animals and dolls...

Her room was white with the furniture Louis XIV style. Terry had spoiled her... She went to take a long bath in the bathroom... Then she got dressed and put some make up on, with care.

"Annie would not believe that everything she thought me , I remembered"

Candy put on a white long dress. She was going to wait for Terry in the living room, where there was a big flat screen television. Diner was ready and Candy was waiting. She called Angel...

- So do you like the surprise mommy?

- You knew?

- Of course I knew... I chose the furniture with daddy...

- When did you find the time to do all that?

- When you have money, everty thing is easy mom... is dad there?

- Not yet...

- He's going to be there soon... good luck mom

- Thank you baby...

- I'm going to bed...

- Good night my angel, don't forget to pray. I love you.

- I will never forget... I love you too

Candy hung up and was now waiting for Terry. Tomorrow she was going to get inseminated to have Terry's baby...

oOoOoOoOoOo

Terry went to his hotel room to change. Susanna was there too.

- You're going out?

- Yes, I'm going to see Candy

- Why?

- Tomorrow it's the insemination... she's a little nervous

- And what are you going to do? Comfort her?

- Susanna...

- You're going to see her in the dump she calls an apartment?

- She just moved in , in the house...

- Oh, said Susanna with tears in her eyes... the house I liked, you already furnished it for her

- The house was for her, Susanna

- Terry, I agreed to postpone our wedding for your daughter's illness, I gave up the house I loved, I'm ready to do anything to please you Terry...

- Thank you...

- Can I come with you?

- No...

- Why?

- Candy needs to be calm physically and morally for the insemination. Your presence is only going to stress her... I want everything to happen without an itch...

- Are you coming back?

- I'm probably going to spend the night at the hospital after that...

- At the hospital... Ok then, I'll see you tomorrow then...

- See you tomorrow Susanna

She approached him and kissed him on the lips for a long time.

- You don't want to have fun beforeleaving for the night?

- No, Susanna, I'm already running late

- Candy can wait a little...I don't see you anymore, you spend all you nights at the hospital, when you come back here, it's really fast... I miss you darling...

"I made love to Candy... and now... I have to think about Candy...like when I had to collect my sperm sample. Susanna thought she was the one stimulating me, but it was Candy in my mind... I didn't need those magazine or porn movies and especially not Susanna! " thought Terry

- Not tonight Susanna, said Terry leaving, I'll see you tomorrow at the hospital

- All right, she said sulking

Terry has a sigh of relief, when he finally got out of the hotel suite. He took the car he had, and went at Candy's house.

Susanna called Kelly Macfly to tell her where Terry was heading...

oOoOoOoOoOo

Candy finally heard the door bell. She went to open. Since the house was inside a gate, she told the guard that Terry was coming. Terry was in front of her. She smiled.

- Good evening, Freckles

- Good evening Terry, she said smiling, come in please

- Thank you

He entered the house and they walked together to the living room. They sat on the couch.

- You want something to drink?

- Iced tea...

She went to pour him a glass of iced tea for him and another one for him. She walked to the couch with both glass and she gave him one.

- Thank you Candy

- You're welcome, she said smiling. I'm the one who should thank you for the house and the everything else. I can't believe you managed to do all this so fast! It's a miracle.

- It's normal for me to take care of the mother of my children...

- The other one is not here yet...

- Tomorrow he will be on the way...

A maid arrived.

- Diner is served.

- Thank you Dorina

The maid left. Candy stood up and Terry too. He wanted to walk to the dining room, but she held him by the arm.

- This way, she said

She took him on the terrace where there was a table prepared for two with candles lighten. The roasted chicken smelled good.

- A candlelight diner, said Terry, Miss Andrew, are you trying to seduce me?

- Yes, said Candy smiling

Terry was stunned by her serious answer.

- Let's go eat Terry, said Candy

He was a little puzzled. They walked to the table and he pulled the chair for Candy who sat down. Then he went to sit facing her.

- Don't expect anything fancy... it's roasted chicken, French fries and a salad

- Sounds very good, said Terry smiling

- It is, said Candy, let's pray

- Of course...

- Dear Lord, bless our food, bless us and give bread to those who don't have any, Amen

- Amen, said Terry

They started eating while talking about old times. The meal was fine in a good atmosphere. The desert was an apple pie with vanilla ice cream on the top. Terry had a double portion, it was so good.

- You want a tea of a coffe? Asked Candy

- I'm full, said Terry, I couldn't swallow anything else...

- What a pity, said Candy, and I wanted you to eat me...

Terry looked at her with big hungry eyes.

- I think I can make a little exception. I always have a space for my beloved Freckles

- Oh Terry, let's go to the living room...

He took her arm and they walked slowly to the living room. They sat on the couch.

- Terry...

- Yes...

- I invited you over for diner, to...

- Seduce me...

- Yes, she said smiling and also to tell you that I would like us to be together, you and I so we could be a family for our children. I love you Terry

Terry looked at the woman he loved saying the words he's been waiting to hear, even since that fatal day she left, ever since he burst into a sick little girl's room and realized a moment later, that she had called him "daddy", that Candy was the one who had given birth to her, the fruit of their love...

- You know that I never wanted to break up with you, said Terry, ever since our first meeting, it was you and only you who entered my heart... I want us to be together Candy, I love you Candy...

They approached each other and they kissed passionately, for a long time.

- Oh Candy, he said, when he felt his desire getting stronger... you really had the intention of seducing me?

- Yes ... and the doctor said that making love on the eve of the insemination, raises the chances of success...

- So let's do it for the baby... to save Angel

- Lets do it for Angel... and also for us, my love

- Let's do it for our children and for us my love...

He took her hand and they walked together, they went up the stairs to go to the bedroom. Once there, they spent the whole night making love, slowly, softly, passionately, savagely... It was so good, that they were unable to stop. They fell asleep at down, tired and satisfied...

Candy and Terry woke up a few hours later and they took a shower together laughing and making love again under the water...

- It's time to go make that special baby of ours, and see Angel, said Terry, she must be wondering where we are...

- She knew we were getting back together...

- Really?

- Yes, I told her last night... she knew we were not going to spend the night with her...

- Oh... tell me she doesn't know we were going to spend the night making love...

- I didn't tell her and I didn't ask her, I was afraid to hear the answer...

Terry burst out laughing.

- I don't think I'm ready to have that conversation with my 4 year old daughter, as genious as she is, said Terry

- Me neither ! Said Candy laughing

They went straight to the hospital, because Candy was unable to swallow anything.

- You're going to have a baby in you Candy

- Yes and I'll eat later... let's go!

- All right...

Candy and Terry took Terry's car with the driver who had spend the night in the staff's quarters and who was waiting for them in front of the house. In the car Candy was a little nervous...

- Everything is going to be fine Freckles, calm down

- I'm trying...

- Everything is going to be fine...

He took her lips and kissed her for a while.

- I feel better with you, she said when they stopped

- I love you too, Candy

- I love you Terry. Let's go make this new baby...

When they arrived at the hospital, they walked hand in hand to the clinic for the insemination. They arrived at the reception...

- Good morning, said Candy smiling.

- Good morning, said the receptionist, how may I help you?

- I came for the insemination. I'm Candice White Andrew...

- One moment please...

The receptionist look on the register and then on her computer and she looked at Candy

- Everything went fine... your surrogate mother is fine...

Candy and Terry looked at each other.

- Surrogate mother? No, I'm the one getting inseminated, not a surrogate, I don't have a surrogate!

- But that's what it says here!

- That's impossible...

A woman doctor arrived.

- Is there a problem?

- Yes, said the receptionist, Ms Andrew says not having a surrogate, but the lady in question got inseminated an hour ago...

- I don't have a surrogate! Said Candy who was starting to get upset.

- Calm down honey, said Terry

The doctor looked a Terry and smiled.

- Oh yes! You're Terrence Grandchester? Your fiancée is the surrogate...

- WHAT??! Said Candy.

- Yes, she came this morning with a filming crew and a reporter... She loves you so much, she's going to carry your baby for you, the child that's going to save your dauther... even if it's not biologically hers!

- NO! Yelled Candy, tell me I'm dreaming! You did what??? You put my baby in Susanna's belly???!!!

- Yes, said the doctor, all the papers were in order...

- OH MY GOD!! Said Candy

- There must be a mistake, said Terry, Candy was supposed to be inseminated with our baby...

- Well Miss Marlowe has your baby at the moment... she did you a favour!

- A favour? Said Candy, are you kidding?

- Yes, she's carrying the baby in your place...

- She stole my baby!!! Yelled Candy angry, I don't need her to make a baby! Call the police!

- Candy, said Terry, calm down...

- Your "fiancée" did this!

- I'm going to go talk to her, where is she? Asked Terry to the doctor

- If you're going there to yell, I rather you don't go...

- You gave my baby to the wrong woman! Said Candy yelling, I'm going to sue you!!!

Candy was getting hysterical and she was yelling louder and louder. Other doctor came alerted by the noise, Michael was among them

- Candy? He said, what's going on?

- Oh Michael... she stole my baby!

- Who?

- Susanna!!!

- What? Said Michael turning to the lady doctor, what happened?

- The surrogate..., started the doctor

- I DON'T HAVE A SURROGATE!!! Yelled Candy.

- The papers were in order, said the doctor, Susanna Marlowe arrived this morning with a filming crew

- Oh my God! Said Michael.

- What's her room number? Asked Terry overwhelmed by the events.

- Mister Grandchester..., started the doctor.

- You're going to give me that room number before I sue your ass for malpractice!! Yelled Terry

It was his turn to yell now. He had been calm until then.

- Room 312, said the doctor slowly.

She was starting to realize that she had been conned by Susanna and Kelly Macfly...

Terry ran to the room, followed by Candy and Michael and other doctors. When Terry arrived in the room, he opened the door and found himself facing television cameras and a radiant Susanna on her hospital bed.

- Surprise honey! She said, are you happy? I love you so much that I'm ready to carry you baby to save your daughter, for you...

Kelly Macfly turned to Terry and asked:

- Mister Grandchester, what do you have to say in front of such big proof of love from your fiancée?
