My 419 Nightmare

54: Meeting the In-laws... Reinforcement Needed

The awkward silence continues even after our pregnant angel have moved to the sofa, sitting next to his devil. The mother, on the other hand, is having a seat on her own on the bed. With arms crossed on her front, watching the pair with hawk eyes, she look like a principle catching her students doing some bad deeds.

The angel, perhaps feeling rebellious, is refusing to look at his mother, hiding his face within the crook of his devil's neck, while inhaling the latter's scent, in attempts to keep his nausea at bay.

The devil, on the other hand, have gone stiff. Half of the reason was anger, targeted towards the woman that have made his angel suffer. While the other half... is nervousness. Well, no matter what she have done, that woman sitting in front of them is still his angel's mother.

His so called future mother-in-law.

The silence was cut short by a soft knock on the door. The trio turn their heads towards the door, but other than that, none of them move.

The devil inwardly sigh as he gets up to get to the door, but was tugged back to the sofa by his lover, slightly pouting while shaking a no.

"Just for a moment, angel. Those are your friends, right?" The devil pat the head of his angel, dropping a kiss on the latter's forehead, ignoring the watching hawk on the other side of the room, before heading towards the door again.

The devil unconsciously gulp, while controlling his features before opening the door and welcomes their friends.

Or should he say...

Reinforcement.

Phana's POV

I was pulled out from my surgery right after I finish stitching the final cut. One of my personal nurse slash assistant brought out my personal phone, which was vibrating of the hook. The name of the screen make my heart race, thus after ripping away my gown and glove, I run to the hidden corner and answer it.

"Beam, something happen?"

Yes, the caller was Beam, my best friend. But to call me from my personal phone when we are working together at the same hospital, something must have happened.

"That woman is back. She's at Kit's restaurant and she caught Ming as well. I'm already on my way to pick up Forth. Wayo is waiting for you downstairs."

He hung up on me as I already make my way downstairs. Without changing out of my scrubs, I jump into the familiar SUV of Wayo's. He immediately drive away, giving me time to catch my breath before he say anything.

"P', is P' Kit's mother is really that scary?"

"For us? Maybe no. But for Kit, her existence alone is traumatic. I hope that Mingkwan can somehow keep him sane. It's not good for his baby if he snap because of her."

That manage to keep my baby shut along the ride. Last night, both me and Beam explained to our partner about the latest addition to the ever growing problem.

Kit's mother.

If Kit's an angel in disguise, his mother, is worse. Or least, that is what Kit's ave told us before. But I believed him. For someone to actually ignore their own offspring due to the fact that he is a boy and may have somehow accidentally 'consume' his sister during pregnancy, they might not be a good person.

Anyway, she always bring the worse out of Kit, and I don't want to know what might happen. I believe Kit himself doesn't want anything to happen as well, which is why he seeks help from me and Beam.

I hope we are not too late. Damn this Bangkok's traffic!

The reinforcement that was called by a certain pregnant angel arrive within seconds to the parking lot of the angel's location, after fighting their way across the horrendous afternoon traffic. Acknowledging each other solemnly, they make their way inside, passing by the equally solemn manager at the front.

The manager, our fujoushi, was informed of their coming, and was also informed about who's waiting. In her mind, his boss's friends are going to be helpful when facing the elder, while at the same time, she is churning her head for the next chapter of her fanfic.

The two set of couple quickly climb the stairs, and saw a tall, sturdy, expressionless man, guarding the door. They can feel the dangerous aura that man projected, but in their mind, their friend is more important.

The engineer in their group raised his hand and knock at the door once. After waiting for a while, getting no response from the one inside, he raised his hand again, but before his intention falls, the door was opened. A stiff one, belonged to their pregnant angel, is welcoming them in.

They walk inside, with the best friends of the said angel are finally meeting the woman that have made their friend's life hell. Their partners seem to be able to keep their cool but for the two doctors, hatred were flashing out their eyes with every steps they take.

One of them, the shorter of two, made his way towards his friend, who is also his patient. Taking his pulse, he starts talking in whisper, asking the angel some questions, regarding his health. The others starts to gather around him, subconsciously ignoring the mother.

The woman that was treated like air show her indifference when her son's reinforcement steps inside the door. But inwardly, her heart falls when she saw one of them is taking his son's pulse. She, even if she refuse to acknowledge it to others, have been paying close attention to her only son.

She knows about the restaurant and his success in culinary world. She also knows about his hidden identity in the underground scene.

Which means, she also knows about his best friends that are doctors.

Meaning, her first instinct that there might be something wrong with her son was right!

Kit's POV

"I'm okay. Seriously. Just... let's not talk about this now. I don't want her to know."

Beam nods hearing my whispered request. Patting my hand softly he stands up, letting my devil to take his place back next to mine. Instantly, I turn my head towards him, taking another whiff, just to breathe in his scent that has been doing a great job keeping me from throwing up.

I'm not sure why I'm calling my friends the moment I realize that woman is here. When she trespasses my room, catching me throwing up and catching Ming beside me, I'm sure something inside me is prepared to go all out with her.

But... my mind, subconsciously suppress those feeling, making a decision to contact my friends, asking for their help.

"Kitty, I'm only interested in keeping your body intact. We don't want anything to happen to your little miracle, right."

Agreed.

Finding myself subconsciously rub my still flat stomach, I turn my head forward, facing that woman. Straightening my posture, linking my arms around my lover's, I bore my eyes directly towards her.

"Now, can we start? What are you here for, Mistress Innoctare?"
