Responding to Shawney, Dr. Brian said, "Then I am looking forward to seeing you regularly, and Torren you are looking well."
"Thank you Doc Brian, I feel much better and as you know that is all because of my beautiful wife."
"I must say congratulation and that is wonderful news, and my dear you are doing a wonderful work on Torren.
And Torren, you will see that you get this prescription for your wife, and you my dear I want you to use it, and I will see you soon."
Recalling how Dalia used to express her feeling how his family used to misbehaved with her, and she used to be so broken and frustrated. But something about Shawney is completely different to how Dalia used to behave.
Looking at his appearance now being with her and the way he was smiling as if he knew the truth of her pregnancy before I announce it to them.
Dalia and he was close, but I can see this relationship has a better foundation, I just hope she is happy and they live happy without the others meddling.
Torren, deserve some happiness and from what I observed the few time I visit Careen and the baby his children is very happy with her around them.'
Saying his goodbye after Torren told him to have dinner before he leave.
Torren waited for the doctor to leave then he locks the door going on the bed stroking her stomach. When he said, "Now if I had made a bet, I will surely have won."
"And tell me my loving and handsome husband, what would the wager have been?"
Seeing the way she was stroking his face in a seductive way. "I don't know, maybe for you to reveal the whole truth about our meeting, and what was the arrange meant between you and my dad?"
"Have you had an itching ear or did you hear something that is causing your heart to be confused?"
"Why do you ask that?"
"Because, I told a certain individual about our meeting when he proposed to me and beside from what I keep hearing there are rumors?"
"Okay, but I want to hear the truth from you my love, you are glowing just as your brother said. Now tell me, why did it take so long for you to come to me?" Torren ask wanting an answer
"Because, your father took long to meet me."
"What? Shawney, was this dad's plan?"
Stroking his face, seeing the shock, "My darling, if he didn't invite me to visit his home when I visit San Francisco, we would have never met.
The day your dad and I met, I was just returning home after three years. He looks so tired driving into the village.
Boy, I saw the van speeding coming so I step aside, seeing this big puddle of water right in front of me.
He seems to be in a rush, but then he stops suddenly at my side asking direction for a place to stay for the night and some good tasting food.
That day I was shocked to see my home turned into a guest house." Recalling those were his father's exact words.
Thinking, 'That didn't answer his questing on his mind, "Now my wife, as I was mingling among our guests I overheard a few things. Did my father proposed to you?"
"Yes, my love he did."
"But how could he do that?"
Pulling Torren closer to her trying to soothe his heart, "He proposed to me for his Torren, who he loves very much."
"But I thought he invited you?
"He did that right after I turn down his proposal, but you see, I became very curious to see who you were? And why would your father be willing to sign over all his property to me if I marry you.
So I waited patiently for him to leave, then I took the first available flight to San Francisco."
Stroking his face, "You see all the offers I had before, they wanted what I had, but you my love had captured my heart the minute I saw you at the hospital.
Then I was so broken when I put my family out, I thought you will hate me thinking I will do your family the same.
But instead, you told me you love me. Those were the sweetest words I have ever heard. So when you proposed to me how could I refuse you when I am in love with you."
"I understand what you mean, that day you told me you love me, my heart jolted."
Seeing him smile, "Sweetheart, it was like if it jumpstarts my heart with joy, but then I thought it was one of your, I love you talk, you give to those you witness to, but it felt good hearing you said it to me."
"If I recalled clearly, I said it a few other times, but you never take me seriously. Remember I told you it valentine day and that day you want to run me out the house, and the day my dress was soil.
"Yes, that is true and I am truly sorry about when I wanted you out my house, but that day you let me know I was getting better, and my love I took those words and I feed on it daily.
You my love help me so much, Honey, I can't thank you enough, but my darling Shawney I meant every word I said to you that special night we got married."
Hugging him, "I know that my love, and I thank you so very much."
"No my love, I must thank you, you made me a sane man once again. You my love is my medicine and another thing, this baby is very special to me."
Seeing the frown on her forehead Torren said, "You my love was a virgin when we got married, but Dalia wasn't now I know the children are mine and I love them very much."
Looking at him thinking, 'Is that why his dad never give him his mother ring to give her. That could be the only explanation?
