a bottle of ale for hope

Grip and Shout

After two weeks more,Kris was able to be discharge. With Dara beside him, D.O. and Kai infront they marched out of the hospital. Media is waiting for them as soon as the door opened. Immediately the bodyguards made way for them. Kris is just smiles at them.

Inside the car, "Hey let's go shopping," Kris shouted.

"Er, you just came out of the hospital love," Dara said.

Kai who is the designated driver made a U turn, "the boss said shopping!!" Kai shouted. Dara just laughed and smiled. They have all been waiting for the day they will be shopping. Kris called his other brothers and cousins to meet them at the mall.

When they got to the mall that was the first time Dara and Kris met Yixing and Yoo Jung.

"Okay, its going to be a she," Dara announced to everyone.

"Pretty bows and stockings," Lu Han squealed.

"Dresses and frills," Yoo Jung added.

All of them roamed around the shops selling baby items. Since the Prince's are good looking most of the customer's specially girls squeal and take pictures of them. Dara on the other hand has a protective hand over Kris.

"Jealous?" Kris smirked.

"No, just being cautious since you are suppose to be resting but we are shopping," Dara said.

Before dinner they got home to the main house. It is actually too much because they bought hundreds of clothes that will last until the 5th birthday of the First baby Princess of Centennial Group.

Kris personally handled the remodelling of one of the rooms to be the nursery. Xiu Min did not let him go back to work yet. Everyday he wakes up and work at the nursery.

"Since you did not inform me immediately that I will be a father, you are not allowed to see the nursery just yet," he teased Dara outside the nursery's door.

Dara did not push it. She owed Kris one thing to keep for himself. One month more to wait.

Dara's father was not able to escape the case filed to him. He was sentenced for life imprisonment. It was supposed to be for death penalty but it was subjected for life imprisonment instead.

GD who was discharged at the same time as Kris also got the same verdict. He is now mocked as the poorest of the poor President having his family disown him and his corporation fall to the ground. He even filed for insanity just to escape imprisonment but nothing happened.

Dara was expected to give birth on or after Christmas. Kris was already in indefinite leave because Xiu Min still won't let him work at the office.

Yixing was now able to meet his uncles. Baekhyun immediately fell inlove with his new cousin. There are even times that they wander away from the house resulting for Lu Han and Chanyeol to be very worried.

Yoo Jung and Xiu Min on the other hand is planning their 4 year wait wedding. Xiu Min wants it to be a grand celebration but Yoo Jung just wants it to be a private gathering. In the end thay settled for a closed family ceremony.

"Love, can we also have a church wedding?" Kris asked while Dara is helping D.O. preparing for the Christmas feast.

"Why?" Dara asked.

"Well, we got married in a drunken state, we don't even have nice pictures." They actually hated the pictures Kai and Chanyeol took. They look stupid with their smiles and bottle of ales are around. Even the face of Pastor Heenim is hideous.

"Is it going to be for our benefit or for your benefit of getting more beautiful pictures?' Dara teased.

"Well can you imagine yourself showing to our kids that wedding photo where in both of us are chugging bottles of ale and surrounded by empty ones?"

"Well Love if you will put it that way," Dara winced.

"Next year?"

"Yes,"

"September?"

"Around then," and that's it! the month is set.

"I'll be the one to bake the wedding cake," D.O. smiled. Kai is cooking with them and he hates it. Burns and cuts that he got from being careless and not paying attention to what he is doing.

"Off course Kai will help me," D.O. added earning a wince from the other.

That Christmas dinner they announced the wedding to everyone.

"Yoo Jung and I will be on the 25 of March," Xiu Min said.

"Ours will be on September, no details yet were finalized but one thing is for sure, the cake will be by Chef D.O. and Kai," Kris smiled.

"I think I should study in Culinary School if I will be dragged in this," Kai winced. Everybody laughed and teased him. Truly the spirit of happiness and contentment is around.

Suddenly Dara gripped on Kris arm. Its so strong that Kris shouted.

"AH!!!!!! AHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!," Kris was to yank his arms away but Dara won't move.

"KRIS!!!!!!!!!!" Everyone looked at her.

"Noona," D.O. shouted. Everybody has a plastered smile.

"Get the car!"

"Where is her baby bag!"

"Stupid! Don't just stand there move!"

"Kris! carry her! Ya! Not to your room to the car!!"

Everybody is shouting and standing up. Only Baekhyun and Yixing is eating. "Hey cous, once we got old enough let's not be like them," Baekhyun sighed.

"Promise to remind me," Yixing smiled. Both kids really is trying hard to deal with their Babas and Uncles.
