My Love is Your Love

Chapter Seventeen: Robin's Parents

Robin chuckled as he wrapped an arm around Paige to stop her from cleaning anymore; he knew that she was a little nervous to see his parents again after how things had ended between them.

“Relax,” Robin said as he kissed the brunette, he ignored the look that his son gave him as he cupped Paige’s face; they had informed Shaqueel and Dina of their engagement and pregnancy, and it had become clear that while Dina and Alisha were happy about the news; Shaqueel wasn’t.

“What if they don’t like me? What if they are still mad about what happened?” Paige said making Robin chuckle as he heard the taxi pull up outside the house; José Ras had insisted that she travel to the house with Bob in a taxi, she didn't want her son driving to and from the airport.

“They’re here,” Robin murmured as he kissed Paige again, the brunette licked her lips nervously as she watched her fiancé move to answer the door; she knew that she was being stupid but the brunette didn't know what to expect.

José Ras smiled as she hugged her only son as he opened the door; she had to admit that he looked a lot happier now that he had moved away from London and had Paige back in his life.

“Mum please be nice, Paige is nervous enough as it is,” Robin said as he glanced at his father, he worried what his mother might say that could cause more problems between him and Paige.

José Ras sighed as she looked at her son, he had explained to her what had happened between him and Paige and she knew that he was willing to do anything to keep the brunette in his life.

“Where is Paige? It’s been ages since I last saw her,” José Ras said as she stepped into her son’s home, her brown eyes quickly finding the brunette who was dressed in a black hybrid pencil dress in lace paired with black heeled sandals.

“José Ras, it’s nice to see you,” Paige said as she tried to remain calm as Robin returned to her side; he offered her a reassuring smile before he looked at his mother.

José Ras stared at the woman that had broken her son’s heart and had given him his first born child; she knew that Robin wouldn’t forgive her if she drove the brunette away.

“It’s nice to see you as well Paige, and I believe that congratulations are in order,” José Ras said as she looked between her son and the brunette; Paige nodded her head as she watched the older woman.

Bob looked at Paige; he could see that the brunette was nervous about them being there, they hadn't parted on the best of terms after she had turned up pregnant with Alisha.

Robin looked at his fiancée as she headed into the kitchen, he knew that his parents staying with them had put her on edge and he was pleased that so far that everyone seemed to be getting along.

“So have you decided what you will do next?” Bob asked as he looked at his son, the Dutchman hoped that his son had some sort of plan of his future now that Paige was back in his life.

Glancing at the children, Robin licked his lips as he wondered what his father was getting at; he knew that his father wanted him to plan his life out but right now he was comfortable with how his life was.

“What do you mean?” Robin asked as Paige returned to the table, he smiled at her as she sat down next to him; she looked at him as he took her hand in comfort.

Bob frowned as he sipped on his water as he looked between his son and his fiancée; he could tell that his son wasn’t making plans for the future but now was the time to make them.

“Have you decided what you want to include into your prenuptial agreement?” Bob asked making Robin choke on his desert while Paige stiffened as she stared at the man across from her; she hadn't expected him to say anything like that and neither had Robin.

Clearing his throat, Robin licked his lips as he stared at his father in shock; he hadn't expected Bob to suggest anything like that and it was clear that José Ras agreed with him.

“Why would I want a prenup?” Robin asked as he looked at Paige, he could see that she was as shocked as he was about what had been said; she bit her lip as she looked at him curious about what he was going to say.

Bob pursed his lips as he looked at his son, he had just about managed to talk Robin into one when he had married Bouchra; however it was clear that with Paige, there might be a little fight about this.

“To protect your assets; you are bringing a lot of money into this marriage while she isn’t,” Bob said as if it was obvious, he didn't know what his son was thinking if he attempted to marry Paige without one.

The brunette bit her lip knowing that she should have expected this, she was willing to sign anything that was put in front of her; Paige had no intentions of walking away from Robin this time.

“I’m not having a prenup,” Robin said making everyone stare at him, he glanced at Paige who was staring at him stunned; she didn't know what he was thinking by refusing to get a prenup.

The Dutchman swallowed as he took Paige’s hand, he knew that his parents weren’t going to be happy about what he was saying.

“If Paige and I were to separate then I don’t want anything… she might as well take everything,” Robin said passionately, he ignored the look that Paige was giving him while he focused on what his parents were going to do now.

Brushing some hair from her face, Paige licked her lips as she walked towards Robin as they prepared for bed; his parents had been less than pleased with his decision to not have a prenup.

“Robin, I don’t mind if you want a prenup,” Paige said softly as she brushed her hair; she watched as Robin paused what he was doing and looked at her, the brunette could tell he wasn’t pleased with what she had said.

“I don’t want a prenup,” Robin said as he stood from their bed and moved towards her, he carefully pulled her into his arms and sighed as he cupped his face. Paige watched as he searched her eyes, she swallowed as he smiled at her softly.

“If I were to lose you again Paige… I don’t think that I could take it and if you walk away then you’re already taking my heart with you,” Robin said softly.

Paige watched him wondering what he was thinking about, she licked her lips as he closed his eyes, she hated that they were talking about this; she hated that this was going to haunt them like this.

“If you walk away, then you might as well take everything else with you; my life isn’t worth living without you,” the Dutchman said making the brunette stare at him, he offered her a weak smile before he pressed a kiss to her lips; he knew that she wouldn’t leave him again, they both regretted what had happened seven years ago.

“I love you Paige and to lose you again would kill me,” Robin admitted as he kissed her softly, he smiled at her as she wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him into another kiss.

The brunette knew that Robin’s parents weren’t going to ever let this go; they wouldn’t allow Robin to marry her without that prenup.
