Father's Day
Chapter 11
"Destiny's wishes"
Destiny
Once again, the heart torn apart
I'm the clown without make up
The big curtain just came down
On summer
Destiny was looking at the lives of our two lovebirds living the lives they were not supposed to… Terry with a noose around his neck, Candy who didn't want to be alone and who turned to her best friend for help… All that didn't please little Angel, who was looking for a way to help her parents get back together. Her father married his fiancée, who had stolen her little brother or sister! Nothing was happening like in her dream! Daddy and Mommy didn't get married. Daddy was with the thief and Mommy was with the good doctor… She didn't have any good feeling about any of it.
"Come on Angel, you're not a little genius for nothing… make your brain work…"
She started typing on her laptop…
oOoOoOoOoOo
Terry was woken up by his cell phone…
- Hello…
- Terry?
- Mum…
- What have you done?
- What?
- You got married!
- Mum…
- You could've told me
- You're shooting a movie…
- I wanted to be there, I might have stopped you from committing that nonsense…
- Mum, please…
- What was it this time?
- I was engaged to her mum, remember?
- Yes, but that was before you found out Candy had had your baby… and you were supposed to make another one…
- Yes, by in vitro fertilization?
- So did Candy get inseminated?
- No…
- Why?
- Susanna stole Candy's embryo… did you forget about that?
- Great! And she's blackmailing you once again! She's got you in her pocket; I bet she's forcing you to make love to her too…
- Mum…
- Oh my God! Poor Candy! She must be devastated…
- She f*ucking her doctor…
- And you're f*ucking your one legged wife… Marvelous! What a big mess! Sounds like a very bad movie script…
- Susanna is threatening to hurt the baby if I leave her, I can't risk the life of that baby who is guaranteed to save Angel…
- How is our little Angel? I'll come and see her once I'm done with this movie…
- She's fine; she's getting out in a few weeks… to wait for the birth of the baby…
- And how did she take your wedding?
- She's disappointed by this whole situation…
- It's a disaster you and Candy did!
- How could she be with her doctor? Said Terry upset.
- You're with your wife right?
- I'm forced to be, she's not forced to do anything with anyone!
- If I understand you correctly, you want her to wait for you, while you f*uck your wife every day?
- Mum your language is just adorable… I hope you'll wash your mouth when you'll meet your granddaughter…
- Did you ask her to wait for you?
- She's so angry… and I don't dare to, she's going to refuse… marriage is sacred for her… oh mum! This is just one big mess!
- You can say that again, but it's to save Angel… I'm going to let you go, honey… Find a solution to your problem…
- Bye mum… I love you.
- I love you too…
Terry hung up his cell phone and Susanna turned around and curled up against him…
Susanna had to go to her monthly check up. She had to have a series of tests to make sure that everything was fine and that her heart was handling the pregnancy well…
Terry went to see Angel while Susanna was having the tests done.
- Daddy, said Angel.
- Are you ok, sweetie?
- I'm fine, what about you?
- I'm fine… Susanna is having some tests done…
- Oh? Is everything fine with the baby?
- Everything is fine, they're just checking if the pregnancy is going fine… and that her body won't reject the embryo…
- Ok, said Angel…
- How's your mum?
- She's fine… she's dating Dr. Michael…
- I know…
- It doesn't bother you?
- Yes, but what should I do? I'm married…
- It wasn't supposed to happen like that… we were supposed to have two babies like in my dream… Juliet and Sunny
- Juliet? That's a pretty name for a girl…
- Sunny for a boy…
- Sunny?
- "Freckles", gift of the sun…
- Oh… good one, said Terry smiling.
He spent time with his daughter and then he went to pick up Susanna to take her back to the hotel He found Susanna sulking in the doctor's office.
- What's going on? Is everything all right? Asked Terry.
- No! Said Susanna sulking, tell this doctor that he made a mistake!
- That he made a mistake about what?
- Mr. Grandchester, according to the tests, to avoid any risks of miscarriage or premature birth… you will have to stop all sexual activities until the birth of the baby…
Terry had to make a big effort not to burst out laughing. No more sex with Susanna? That's something he hadn't planned on! But he had to keep a good face…
- Susanna, you wouldn't want anything to happen to the baby right?
Susanna didn't reply.
- Honey, said Terry, you knew it was a big responsibility to carry someone else's child, on one hand, because your body has to adjust to this "alien being" inside it, on the other hand, your mind has to adjust too, as a surrogate mother, you have to put someone else's baby first… so for the next 8 months, we are going to abstain ourselves from making love…
Susanna gave Terry killer eyes. Things were not happening like she wanted… She won't have Terry in her bed to make love to her anymore!
- Millions of women make love until the day they give birth! Said Susanna still sulking.
- They don't have your condition, Susanna, I don't want to risk the life of the this baby, it's way too precious… Let's go back home. Let's go say goodbye to Angel… Thank you very much doctor. See you next month.
Susanna got out still sulking and she walked towards the elevators, followed by Terry. She was still sulking when they got to Angel's room.
- Is everything all right Miss Marlowe? Asked Angel.
Susanna gave her a mean look and didn't reply. Terry shook his head. Kelly MacFly was not there, so Susanna didn't need to act. Angel smiled, happy to see that everything was not perfect for Susanna after the dirty trick she played on her parents.
Terry was on cloud nine… he didn't have to make love to Susanna anymore! He was very happy. Only 8 months left, 8 months of abstinence…. He will have to keep an eye on Susanna, to make sure she won't do anything to hurt the baby.
Susanna was about to explode! Having Terry looking after her, without having her in her bed… but he was away from Candy…
Candy arrived with Michael who was holding her by the shoulders.
- Hello my Angel, said Candy going to hug her daughter.
- Hello mommy! How are you? Doctor Michael…
- Hello my little Angel, said Michael.
- I'm fine baby, what about you?
- I'm doing great! I'll be able to go home very soon…
- I know, that's wonderful! Said Candy smiling.
- Yes, it is… I'll be able to go to school if I want or videoconference and send my work to the teachers…
- Yes, said Candy, you'll do what you want.
- Evan is getting out too, said Terry smiling.
- Yes, that's great! He's healed! Thank you again daddy!
- You're welcome… since he's got no family, I'm going to take him home with me…
- What? Said Susanna! No way!
Terry turned to Susanna.
- The decision is not yours Susanna. I'm taking Evan in charge, he's going to live with us…
- Or he can come and live with us, said Angel, the house is big and daddy, you could come and see him whenever you want…
Susanna realized that Evan was another way to keep Terry a little longer and close to her… If Evan went to live with Candy…
- He can stay with us at the hotel, said Susanna; I'm just surprised that you didn't tell me about it before, after all, we are married…
That was one for Candy!
- Evan would've been welcome with us, said Candy.
- The problem is solved! Said Susanna aggressive.
- Calm down Susanna, said Candy, it's not good for the baby!
- You leave me alone! Said Susanna.
- Not in front of Angel! Said Terry and Michael at the same time.
Angel thought the scene was funny. Susanna and mommy were both jealous of one another…
- Susanna, let's go, said Terry, bye Angel.
He kissed her on the cheek and left the room with Susanna. Candy had a sigh of relief.
- You have to calm down honey, said Michael, and not only for the baby Susanna has in her belly, he added in a whisper.
- I know, said Candy, but she gets on my nerves.
- She had her first check up, said Angel, and I'm wondering why she's sulking.
- I hope everything is fine with the baby, said Candy.
- Everything is fine, said Michael, otherwise, they would've told us. Ok, I have to go do my rounds and see my patients…
He kissed Candy on the lips.
- See you later honey…
- See you later, said Candy.
- See you later Angel…
- Bye doctor Michael.
Michael left Angel's room, closing the door behind him. Candy looked at Angel. She knew her daughter… She had a way of talking, meaning she knew something…
- Ok, young lady, I'm waiting… You know why Susanna is sulking?
- Mommy what do you mean? Said Angel playing innocent.
- You're a little genius and you've got answers to all the questions! Out with it…!
- Mommy, all I do in this room is be on my laptop, said Angel innocently.
Candy walked to her daughter's bed and she took the laptop… She opened her eyes with stupor. Angel had managed to hack into the hospital system and she had Susanna's file in front of her eyes. Candy started reading. The temptation was too big; after all, it was her baby in Susanna's belly! She had to know if the baby was fine or not… Her heart skipped a beat when she saw that Susanna had threats of miscarriage… She can't lose that baby…! Then she saw the solution to the problem and she burst out laughing! She looked at her daughter and they were both laughing. Candy put the laptop on the table and hugged her daughter. Terry and Susanna were not going to make love anymore for the next 8 months! That was the best news in the world! Her secret wish… had just come true…
oOoOoOoOoOo
Terry had to take his wife's bad mood and being difficult all day long. But he was taking it, because as long as he didn't have to sleep wither, he was happy.
Angel and Evan got out of the hospital on the same day. Terry had organized a little party in his hotel suite for the occasion and Candy had a little celebration at her place for Angel's retour home. Angel wanted to see Evan to party with him, so Candy took her to Terry's suite. Susanna was there, playing the mistress of the house, supervising the party. She smiled when she saw Angel. Candy saw Kelly MacFly and she understood Susanna's attitude. She also saw that the banner read:
"Welcome home Angel and Evan"
"Unbelievable!" said Candy to herself.
- Angel! Said Susanna hugging her, welcome home honey!
Angel was wearing a wig, since she had lost her hair with the chemotherapy.
- Thank you, said Angel smiling, where is Evan?
The little boy arrived and he hugged Angel.
- Angel! Thank you for coming!
- I have a party at home with mommy, but I wanted to come and celebrate with you and daddy…
- What about your party?
- We'll celebrate tomorrow, that way you'll come and see us…
- Great! Two parties in a row! Come and see my bedroom!
The children left the room running. Terry arrived and he saw Candy.
- Freckles?
- I came with Angel,… she wanted to play with Evan.
- Oh…
- Ok, I'm going to go…
- You can stay…
- No, I'll be fine. Michael is waiting for me downstairs.
- You can ask him to come up…
- I don't really feel like being on television. Here's Angel's stuff in the bag, in case she wants to spend the night here…
- So you'll be free to be with the good doctor for the night?
- That's none of your business, said Candy; I'm not asking you if you sleep with your wife…
- Candy…
- I have to go Terry. Say good bye to Angel for me…
Candy turned around and left. Susanna was in the kitchen taking care of the food for the kids. Terry looked at his beloved leave… powerless. It was an impossible situation.
oOoOoOoOoOo
Candy was now 4 months pregnant. Her belly was starting to show. She wasn't seeing Terry anymore, so he didn't know she was pregnant. He would send the driver to pick up Angel when she was due to visit him.
She was in bed with Michael at his place.
- I'm sorry Michael, she said sadly.
- It's ok; you're part of the unlucky ones…
- I know, with Angel, since I was alone anyway, I thought of nothing else than my baby and I didn't really pay attention to my sexual desire… but this time… I have you and I don't understand what's happening.
- It's normal Candy, don't worry… It happens often.
- Oh Michael… I'm sorry…
- You don't need to apologize for something you can't control…
For a while now, Candy didn't feel like making love. She found it painful. That baby was absolutely refusing her to enjoy herself! Her libido was dead!
"That should teach me from making fun of Terry and Susanna" she said to herself.
- Does Terry know that you're pregnant?
- No…
- He hasn't seen you?
- No. I have to say, I've been avoiding him…
- Candy, you'll have to tell him…
- Why? Soon I won't need to say a thing. It's going to show…
- You're already showing…
- That's because you know me…
- He knows you too…
- As a matter of fact… but I have to tell Angel first.
- You're going to tell her the truth?
- I don't know yet… she always talks about her dream were she had a brother and a sister who were not exactly twins….
- Sounds like a premonition…
- She gave them names; Juliette for the girl and Sunny for the boy…
- Sunny?
- For "Freckles", gift of the sun.
- So if she thinks that her dream is coming true, she's going to think that the baby is Terry's and if you tell her no, she's going to call you a liar when the baby is going to look like Terry…
- I don't want to lie to my daughter, but I think I don't have the choice…
- The decision is yours.
- I know, she said curling up against him.
Candy was senseless. She didn't even want kisses anymore; she hated the smell of fresh breath in general. In Michael's arms, she closed her eyes to sleep. She was now useless as a girlfriend for him. That baby definitely didn't want his mommy to have fun!
oOoOoOoOoOo
Susanna's belly was also growing and Terry was taking care of her, even if she spent her time sulking and fuming all day long… She was upset that things had turned that way… Terry didn't seem too upset at all. The only thing that made him sick, was imagining Candy and Michael making love… He prayed every day for Candy and Michael not to make love anymore… it hurt too much. And he cursed Susanna for the umpteenth time for stealing Candy's embryo.
oOoOoOoOoOo
Angel had noticed her mommy's belly was bigger. She asked about it one night.
- Mommy… do you have something to tell me?
- About what?
- About your belly… what's going on?
Candy turned around and blushed, ashamed.
- Well… I'm going to have a baby…
- What?
- I'm going to have a baby too…
- With Michael?
Candy looked at her daughter…should she lie to her too? She had a very smart daughter... she didn't want to lie to her.
- Angel, can you keep a secret?
- Of course mommy…
- You can't tell anybody, and I say anybody, unless I give you permission…
- It's daddy's baby, isn't it?
- Yes…
Angel screamed of joy and jumped to her mother's neck laughing.
- Oh mommy! That's wonderful! We're going to have two babies just like in my dream, not exactly twins! That's great!
- Yes, you were right baby; we're going to have two babies!
- But can't we tell daddy?
- No, I'll tell him that I'm having a baby…
- You're going to tell him that it's Dr. Michael's baby?
- For the moment, I'm going to let him believe… He will know the truth when I give birth…or once Susanna has my baby…
- You're going to lie to him…
- I'm going to let him believe… I don't want Susanna to hurt my baby in anyway… you understand me right?
- Yes, mum's the word, for the moment. Thank you for telling me the truth mommy, said Angel hugging her mother, I can't wait to see my little brother and my little sister! It's going to be a boy and a girl!
Candy laughed with her daughter, talking about a baby in her belly… Angel had to go spend the weekend at Terry's. And this time he came to pick up Angel himself in person. The maid let him in the living room. Candy arrived in the living room suddenly. She was wearing pants and a t-shirt a little tight, showing her growing breast and her newly showing belling, and the t-shirt was short, and Candy's belly was out. She would never get out of the house dressed like that, but inside … Especially now that Angel knew.
Terry raised his head to look at her and he was speechless.
- You…you… you're pregnant! He said surprised.
- Well hello to you too, Terry! I'm fine thank you, how are you?
- You're having a baby with your good doctor?!
Just like Candy predicted, Terry assumed Michael was the father and she let him believe.
- Terry…
- Why didn't you tell me anything? He said angry.
- I don't see why I should've told you… You're married to another woman!
- You knew Susanna was having a baby, you could've been more careful, don't you think so? A nurse and doctor making love without any protection! You're not teenagers! Even teens use protections nowadays! In this day and age of incurable diseases, sexually transmitted diseases, you f*uck without protection! You're reckless!
Candy looked at him having his little tantrum and jealousy crisis. He was very angry.
- Since you're going to have your own baby with your doctor, I'm wondering if I'm not going to keep the one Susanna is going to have…
- WHAT?! You can't do that!
- Why not? You've got the doctor's baby; I'm going to keep mine.
Candy looked at him surprised. Jealousy was making him talk nonsense. The fact that she was having a baby with Michael… Terry didn't want this baby to raise with Michael's…
- Terry, you're talking nonsense…it's my baby!
- It's my baby too and I want to keep it! You could raise the baby you're going to have with your doctor in peace…
- You're not going to take my baby away, Terry…
- You should've thought about that before making love without protection with your doctor!
Angel arrived with her bag.
- Daddy! You're here! Did you see? Mommy is having a baby too!?
- I saw that, yes, said Terry without any enthusiasm.
- We're going to have two babies at the end! That great!
- Let's go my Angel, Evan is waiting for us at home…
- Bye mommy, said Angel kissing her mother and hugging her.
- Bye baby, said Candy with tears in her eyes.
Angel left with her father. Candy started crying. She called her best friend.
- Michael? She said in tears.
- Candy? He said, I'm coming.
He was there 15 minutes later and he was consoling her.
- He wants to take my baby.
- No he doesn't. I'm sure it's just jealousy talking, you should maybe tell him the truth.
- There is no way! He insulted us and said we were reckless.
- He's jealous… he doesn't know he's the reckless one who got you pregnant…
- How could he threaten to have custody of my baby!? He's married, he's a Hollywood star, and I don't stand a chance against him!
- Candy come on you'll tell him the truth and…
- Oh Michael, how could he treat me that way? She said crying.
The pregnancy was making her more sensitive and moody. She kept crying… and Michael was consoling her.
Destiny
No use running away or fight
It's written in our destiny
You can't escape it
It's engraved.
oOoOoOoOoOo
