Sebastian had a huge smile on his face when he pulled up into the driveway, but that smile disappeared when he saw Micheal Knight standing in front of his door. Aemilia sat next to him and he could see that she didn't know how to feel. Hector had told her this morning about the affair and Aemilia didn't take it well, something Sebastian could understand. She idolized this man, he was an uncle to her and she believed that he could do her no harm. But she thought the same thing about her mother, and as a result she had spent a night inside the hospital.

"I am going to talk to him." Sebastian said. "Do you want to come with me, or do you want to stay in the car?" She sighed.

"I want to take Kitty inside my arms and cuddle her until she grows tired from me." She replied. She stepped out of the car and walked towards the door. Sebastian followed her and stopped Micheal when he was about to say something to her.

"Leave her be." Sebastian snapped. "She has being through enough." Micheal looked angry at him. "And don't you dare, blaming me. Your affair partner has a talent for doing that, but I think you are smarter then that. Then again, you gave her those pills."

"I didn't..." Micheal started.

"So not as smart as I thought, who in his right mind gives someone pills if he those not know what they do? I have to say I already found it strange when you brought them the first time and that should have being a solid warning for me. Now I know better and I will not let you near my family again." Sebastien said. His voice was cool and collected, something he tried hard to maintain. He knew that there was no point in losing his temper, but that didn't mean that he was not angry. Micheal opened his mouth. "What, do you still think you have a role to play inside her life, or do you think her mother is going to play a role in her life. Well think again, my lawyer is already busy with all the documents and I do not doubt that they are being delivered this afternoon. You and her mother are no longer welcome, near our house, our places of work. Am I clear?" Micheal hung his head.

"But who is going to protect her..." He stammered

"That was never your job. It was her father's job and now it is mine. So I suggest you remove yourself from my property, or I will call the police." Sebastian said and he already grabbed his phone.

"There is no need to call use, mister Coleville. We are already here." A male voice said. It was indeed a police officer. "Mister Knight, you are a hard man to find. But there you are and it is time for you to come with use. We have some questions for you." The police officer walked towards him and lay a hand on Micheal's shoulder. Softly pushed him away. Sebastian gave them a nod of gratitude and entered his house. Aimilia was sitting on the couch, with Kitty in her arms. He could hear her content from where he was standing.

"He is gone." He said, she nodded and sighed. "I need to call my lawyer, to include him too." She nodded again and then sighed. "After that we can discuss stuff we need to buy for the baby. We also can shop for some maturity clothing, if you want." This seemed to cheer her up a bit.

"I was thinking about a bee theme for the nursery, to make it gender natural." She said, he nodded.

"Deal, but sweetheart if it is a girl I want to name her Katherina, after my mom." He said. "I never knew her, but I want to believe that she loved me." Aemilia closed her eyes and nodded.

"Katherina. That is indeed a beautiful name, and the meaning behind it is perfect." She said and smiled. "We will eventually call her Kitty, but that is beyond the point." She let go off Kitty, who made clear that she didn't appreciate it. But Aemilia didn't pay much attention to her, and grabbed her laptop from the cabinet under the coffee table. Sebastian saw that she was already looking for clothes and strollers. "Ohh, sweetheart. Can we invite John, Morgan and the children? And Gloria of course. I want to share the news with them." He nodded.

"Everything you want today, it will be yours." He said and disappeared into his office.

*****

The call took longer then suspected, of course he didn't only take care of the Micheal and Shark-in-law matter. But he also set up a collage fund for the baby. His lawyer was a gem, and he promised to keep the news about the little one to himself. But he was beat when he left his office, he almost bumped into Nana, his housekeeper.

"Ohh I am so sorry, mister Coleville. But your wife asked me to move her stuff into your bedroom. She assured me that you were fine with it." The woman said. He nodded, to make clear that he was fine with it. "You do not have it from me, but I think she is pregnant."

"I know that she is, that is part of the reason she asked you to move her stuff. Also, Nana we are going to have some friends over for dinner, can you make something delicious like your stuffed chicken with orange. She was talking about inviting Morgan, John and the children." He said, the woman raised her hand.

"You're only telling me this now, I need to go to the store and clean the house." Nana said. She pushed the clothes into his hands. "I am going to call my sister and daughter. I need more hands." She rushed away, already with her phone in her hand. Sebastian sighed and walked into his room, with the clothes. The wardrobe doors were already open, and he saw an open spot so he lay the clothes in there. Nana will come back and correct him. He was sure about that, and as planned she rushed into the room. "Oh, where am I with my head. I am so sorry."

"Do not apologize. I indeed sprung this on you and I could understand that you are a bit stressed." Sebastian said. "You know I will pay your daughter and sister for their services, so do not make a fuss over it. I am not going to except free labor inside my house." She nodded and sighed.

"Thank you, mister Coleville. You are a good soul, let nobody tell you otherwise." She said. He nodded and left her to her work.

"Oh sweetheart, what have you done to poor Nana? She just ran in here, panicked and all." Aemilia asked when he entered the room. He told her about his request and she started to giggle. "Her stuffed chicken with orange is indeed delicious. Everyone is coming, including Adam he was with Gloria when I called her." He nodded, he didn't mind that Adam came. He was a friend, more so then a couple of months ago. "I will give Nana the number of people."

"No need, I already heard it. I will make extra, you never know how many more will turn up. Mister Coleville, can you open the door when the bell rings. I have my hands full at the moment." Nana said, and the bell rung.

"On it." He said and walked towards the door opened. "Hello Martha, welcome in. Nana is upstairs and please when you have time write down your bank details, you are not working for free." The woman nodded.

"You have a kind soul, mister Coleville." Martha said and she rushed towards her sister. He walked towards the couch and sat down.

"So that is taken care off, I also set up a collage fund for the little one. So that is also taken care off." He said and took her laptop and looked at the list of items. "You are indeed going for the bees, ooh this wallpaper is so cute. We can lay green carpet on the floor. Ohh, I love that crib and that is just too cute." He smiled at her and she had tears in her eyes. Happy tears this time. He took her in his arms and kissed her on the head. "I love you Aemilia. You took a piece of my heart, and I do not want it back. You, Kitty and the little one are my world." She nodded and closed her eyes. He looked at the laptop and started to order every item that was on there, even adding a large bee plushie.

"Ohh, is that the theme of the room?" The voice of Nana asked quietly. She then pointed to Aemilia, who clearly was sound a sleep. He nodded and smiled. "That is so cute, my husband is handy with wood I will ask him to make something for the room."

"I ordered almost everything." Sebastian said, and showed her the list of items. She looked at it and nodded.

"We will think of something. Don't you worry, but if I were you I would make a list of gifts with this theme than people know what to buy." She said and then went back to work. He shook lightly his head, what would he do without her. He started to make a list with gift idea's. "Did you also thought about a name. I know it is early, but still?"

"I will tell you in the evening. Why don't you invite your husband too? So you do not have to cook more then you have too." Sebastian said, she nodded.

*****

The evening rolled around, and the house smelled of chicken and orange. The guests dripped in, one by one. John shook Sebastian's hand when entering the house.

"Never thought I see the day of you inviting me over cousin." John said. "You know that Dorian hoped that he was right behind you. But no, he is still there. Too afraid for my mother's reaction if he would quiet." Sebastian shook his head.

"But aunt Maria is a scary woman." Sebastian replied.

"Uncle Sebastian look, I have earnings." Cindy said, jumping up and down, showing her ears. "Aunt Aemilia shot them, she told me that it would hurt, but it didn't hurt that much." Sebastian looked with a smile to the girl.

"They are pretty, for such a pretty girl." He said, and Cindy took off. "She had grown so much." John nodded, and sighed.

"For you know she is in collage, married and with a family of her own. Man I know she is not mine flesh and blood, but I love that girl so much. I never thanked you for what you have done for her, and continue to do for her." Sebastian looked confused. "I overheard the conversation with Harald, a collage fund. I didn't tell Morgan about this." Sebastian started to chuckle.

"John, that collage fund is not for Cindy." He said quickly, John frowned and he clearly started to puzzle. The doorbell rang again and this time it was Adam, Gloria and the brown ball of fur. "This must be Paddington. There are children her who love dogs, just a fair warning."

"Aemilia already warned me. And assured me that Margan had a talk with the children." Gloria said, she got in and George and Cindy gathered around the dog.

"Hello miss, we heard about you doggie and we are only allowed to pet him once. May we pet him now?" Cindy asked. Gloria nodded and the childrens hands plunched into the brown fur.

"Dinner is ready." Nana said from out of the kitchen. "Anja, please take your seat with the small children please." Anja, Nana's daughter did as she was told. And the other adults took their seats. However the doorbell rang again, Martha stood up and opened it. It didn't take long before she came back with Sebastian's father, brother, Candy and a little boy.

"Oh it seems that we interupted something." Albandy said. Candy rolled with her eyes and sighed.

"Sebastian, I am so sorry to interupt. These two wanted to come, no matter what, and I just tagged along with your nephew." Candy said, walking towards him giving him the baby. "Those two want you to sign something. Do not sign it, no matter what they say." He nodded and founded over his little nephew.

"Nana, are there three other chairs?" Aemilia asked. She stood up and gave Candy a hand. "I am Aemilia, I wanted to thank you. If it was not for you, I would have being married to someone who is not afraid to step his brother in the back. Don't get me wrong, I really am grateful. I love my husband and I wouldn't change him for anything in the world." Candy smiled.

"Oh, believe me I do not take it the wrong way." She said and thanked Nana for the chair. "Madam, it smells delicious. If it is not too much to ask, may I have the recipe. I love to cook myself, as a matter of fact I was learning to become a chef. But the baby came and now I am stuck at home, writing my own cookbook." Nana nodded towards her.

"It will be no problem at all, madam Coleville." Nana said and the diner started. Sebastian ate while holding his little nephew. "What is his name, madam?"

"Markus, after my grandfather." Candy replied. "Do you have children, madam?" Nana pointed towards Anja.

"My daughter Andrea, she is eighteen and going off to collage." Nana replied. "She is going to study marketing, my husband and I couldn't be prouder." Nana took her husband's hand. Candy nodded and sighed. While looking at her son, she smiled.

"Children are a treasure, and we should do our best to keep them safe and happy." Candy said. Sebastian was surprised to say that he liked Candy. She was smart and blended in to this crowed as if she knew them for ages.

"I totally agree dear." Albany said, with a smirk on his face. "That is why I did what needed to be done. Sebastian once you become a father you would understand." John stood up and looked angry at Albany.

"He already knows, Albany. Or did you forget that he took care of my daughter for years. He took care of her diapers, he fed her and her mother. He didn't kick you out of your office when he did that. Did he." John said. Albany wanted to say something, but John stopped him. "You dropped in her with your family unannounced, and then you say something like that? What are you thinking. No uncle I am not done. Aemilia asked my wife and I, our children here. Together with her best friend and her partner to tell use something and I think what it is. At first, I thought Sebastian was being his generous self, but he told me that this was not the case. That made me think about what I overheard, and now I know." He looked at Aemilia. "Am I allowed to share, what happened yesterday?" Aemilia looked at Sebastian, and he nodded. So did she. "I am part of Sebastian's legal team, and I know about the case against your mother. Aemilia was told from a young age that she was allergic to animals. This however was not the case, but still she received some medication when she started to life here. What these pills were and what they do is still unknown. The fact is that her own mother was behind the pills and told her daughter in no uncertain terms that she was allowed to get pregnant. At least not with Sebastian's child." Now everybody looked at Aemilia.

"That is ridicules!" Sebastian's father shouted out. "He is still my son."

"But he is just your second born, and that was something my mother couldn't look past. But her attempts to prevent it failed." Aemilia said. It stayed quiet for a hot minute. Candy was the first one who rejected.

"You are kidding?" She asked, Aemilia shook her head. "So Markus will have a cousin?" Now Aemilia nodded. Now that it was made clear everyone started to shout, which upset Markus. Nana took him away and assured Candy that she knew what she was doing. Sebastian looked at his father.

"If it is a girl we will call her Katherina, after mom." Sebastian said, and his father nodded.

"We came here to let you sign something, but that is not going to happen. I am not going to hurt my grandchild." He said, grabbing a piece of paper out of his bag and ripped it apart. "Your mother would have being ashamed of me, if she knew how I treated you. She died giving birth to you, for god’s sake. I know that apologizing is not coming close, and will not heal the damage that I have done. But know this, I am not going to hurt your family. And if you do not want to see me, I will be fine with it." He now looked at Aemilia. "Take good care of my son, and my grandchild." She nodded. "Come Albany, we are leaving. Candy if you want you can stay here a little longer, and if you want to go back to school I will fund it. I will also arrange for a babysitter." She also nodded and thanked him. Then he and Albany who looked stunned left. John quickly grabbed the paper pieces and started to read.

"Wow. Uhm I am not going to say anything. Other than destroy this, more than it is now. And from now on never sign anything from them without a lawyer going over the material." John said. He gave it to Sebastian and he didn't even look at it. He simply stood up and walked with it to his office, not looking at it. Candy waited for him outside his office.

"Again I am sorry to border you, but can we talk?" She asked. "Aemilia knows what I am going to say and gave me permission." He nodded.

"But we stay out in the open." He said. Candy started to tell him that she was sorry about how things planned out. But that she was glad that he was forced to marry Aemilia, and that he was out of that toxic company.

"I hate the fact that my baby boy will be forced into taking over the company, even if he wants to choose another path." She said and she started to cry. "I am sorry, you have your own child to worry about. But I do not know who else to turn to." He sighed.

"Candy, you are part of this family. And yes some members are toxic, and there are some that are not. Like Aemilia and I, Morgan and John. Those are just a view, but you will find more." He said, she nodded and smiled.

"Thank you. I will get Markus and leave you be." Candy said. She turned away from him and walked away. He didn't walk after her, and wondered about what she had said to him. Markus will indeed be forced into the role, just as much Albany was forced into the role. And he himself was also forced into the role of the spare. But ever since he got married he had stepped out of this role and took matters into his own hands. He smiled. Yes he was lucky that he got to marry Aemilia, he was lucky to grow their family. He walked towards the stairs and looked at her while she laughed about something. She was his wife, the mother of his unborn child, the love of his life. Their lives may not have being perfect, but he was willing to fight to make it close enough to perfect. He was willing to fight for her, for the baby, for their future. He was willing. She looked up at him with a smile and he knew that she was willing to do the same.
