a bottle of ale for hope

Scandals

3 months passed and Dara's bump is getting visible. She still did not inform Kris about her pregnancy. Whenever it is her check up she always takes either Kai or D.O.

"Noona why aren't you still giving Kris hyung the good news," Kai said one time they went to her doctor.

D.O.who is sitting beside Kai looked at her "It's impossible he didn't figure it out yet."

"No he didn't because I did not let him notice it," Dara answered.

Sure there are times when Kris lay down her stomach or tease her but she makes an extra effort not to be caught. She haven't purchase any baby clothes. Even her check up book is hidden by D.O.

After her check up they went to D.O.'s bake shop.

"Hey you two, when are you telling me that you are officially a couple?" Dara raised her eyebrow.

Kai choked from his bubble tea while D.O. looked away.

"Wow, Noona really is good," Kai said earning a swat from D.O.

"Shut up!" D.O. said.

"That's all right, I'm not that clingy to Kai anymore," Dara smiled.

When Dara was having her cravings it was Kai and D.O.'s sansrival that she wants. She also likes Kris smelling of ale before they sleep so almost every night Kris drinks a bottle. Though Kris asks why he just follows.

5 months to go and a new prince will be born," Kai smiled.

"Yup, 4 months and 3 weeks to be exact," Dara counted.

Suddenly Kris called Dara.

"Love, are you home?" He asked.

"No, why?"

"Watch TV, your dad is in the headlines," he said before hanging up.

Immediately they went to D.O.'s office.

"Busan's Mayor Park Jun Hee was arrested and charged with corruption and malversation of public funds. In connection of this President Gyo of GD Corporation is also summoned by the Court with regards to this."

Dara froze. She immediately called Kris back.

"Love, did you?" she asked.

"No, I just made an investigation but I did not gather evidences," Kris said.

"But how?" Dara asked.

"Let's talk about this at home," Kris hung up.

Immediately Kai and Dara went home. Meeting them at the door is Xiu Min and Se Hun.

"I believe Kris already informed you," Xiu Min said.

"Yes Hyung, he called me a while back," Dara said walking to the main room. Baekhyun is sitting at the couch while Chanyeol is pacing.

"The media has been contacting us asking for a reaction," Xiu Min said.

"Because I married your cousin, you are now bombarded by them, I'm sorry," Dara let out a sigh.

"Noona, don't strain yourself, we are fine," Kai said leading Dara to the chair.

"Kris is not yet here, do you have an announcement to make?" Xiu Min raised an eyebrow.

Dara nodded to Kai and he went to Baekhyun to cover the kids ears.

"We are expecting our first child by January," Dara breathed.

"Uncle Kai, I can't hear!!! What did Auntie say!!!" Baekhyun shouted.

"Congratulations! Why aren't you telling Kris?" Chanyeol said.

"Not yet," Dara said.

Everyone vowed to keep it a secret.

When Kris came in he looks very tired.

"What happened?" Dara said meeting her husband.

"The media came to my office taking my comment about your dad and GD. They actually thought I told the authorities about their wrong doings," Kris replied after removing his jacket.

"Sire, President Gyo is at the gates," the butler announced.

Everybody stood frozen. Why is he here? All of them has the same question in mind.

"Will I let him in Highness'?"

"Yes," Kris replied.

Kai sat beside Dara while Kris stood infront of her. Xiu Min claimed the other chair while Chanyeol took Baekhyun to their room.

Bursting through the door,"How dare you drag me on your father's mess Sandara Park!!!" GD shouted.

"If you will accuse us of this I'm sorry but we will not flinch," Dara responded.

"It was the prosecution who caught Mayor Park red handed, We snooped around but we did not gather evidences," Xiu Min spoke.

"Do you think I will believe you?" GD snickered.

"We don't expect you to since you only have half a brain," Kai addresed earning a pinch from Dara.

"I will get even with all of you!!" GD shouted walking out.

"Just make sure you won't be the one falling down when you get back at us!" Kris shouted.

To break the tension GD got caught with his own feet and kissed the ground hard. The 5 guffawed at the stumbled GD.

"Hahaha, whimp!" Kai shouted laughing.

After the tension with GD the twins' mom came next.

"Kris, mom is calling," Chanyeol came from their room.

Kris took the phone,"What mom? We are busy."

Shouting is heard from the other line.

"Ya! Mind you own business!" Kris shouted snapping the phone shut. Xiu Min's phone came ringing next.

"Its dad," he said answering the phone.

"Don't mind the news dad, we don't have anything to do with it," Xiu Min assured.

"Yes, yes dad we will, oh, Kris?" Xiu Min looked at Kris.

Handing over the phone," Hello, papa,"

Dara was shocked. Dad? Papa? He turned to Chanyeol who is standing behind the couch. He just shot an apologetic smile to her.

"Yes papa, here is Chanyeol," Kris said passing the phone to his twin.

"Can you please explain?" Dara said when Kris kneeled infront of her.

Kris explained everything to Dara. She immediately understood everything and hugged the 3. Calling it a night after dinner Dara and Kris prayed before turning off the lights. Dara prayed for her families safety. While Kris prayed for a child to come.
