Hey guys, thanks for the views and reviews! I'm so glad you guys seem to enjoy this story! ^^

"So, when are you planning to have children?"

The Forresters were flustered at Lyla's sudden question, with Neil even choked on his tea.

After Jack Kreiss retired from his current job, Jack and Lyla bought a farm at a small town called Leaf Valley and settled down into a very calm farming life, with Lyla opened a small flower shop near the house.

During the school holidays—which meant Reine's holidays—just like this time Neil and Reine always made a trip down to the farm. Neil would usually do a checkup on Jack's livestocks—something that his father-in-law was really grateful for. Now, the relationship between the two men was so good that no one would never believe it if it was said that Jack had initially opposed Reine's relationship with him vehemently.

Reine patted Neil's back lightly as she replied, "I think you've already had enough grandkids from Gwen, no?"

Lyla let out a small laugh. "I want a blond grandchild," she replied teasingly, causing Reine to giggle as she recalled how the Rosencrantzes were made of spectrum of solid redhead to pinkette. "Besides, a home would be so lively with a kid, especially yours. Trust me."

"Well, that depends on the stork." Neil said with a slight blush he wouldn't admit.

Reine took another piece of milk cookies that was served on the table, and that didn't escape Lyla's notice. "Since when you're fond of cookies, dear?"

"Oh, I just feel like eating it." Reine said, munching it happily.

"She's been this way for two weeks, at least," Neil said, "She would bake a cake and gobble it by herself like a pig. Now the house smells like sugar and flour."

Lyla stared at her knowingly, "When was your last period?" she asked frankly.

Reine shrugged, "Dunno." She took another bite and munched like no one else's business. Suddenly, she stopped munching, put her hand over her mouth and bolted off from the room. Neil quickly followed her after muttering a quick sorry to Lyla who smiled back in return, as if knowing something that the young couple hadn't even noticed.

As he had suspected, Reine threw up everything she had eaten before in the toilet. Neil rubbed her back carefully, "Geez, this is what you get for eating so many sweet stuff at once."

"Sorry…" she muttered before throwing up again. "Can't help it…"

Neil sighed long; sometimes Reine could be so… unpredictable. But that's another thing that made her so lovable for Neil.

After Reine was finished, they came back to the dining table; Lyla wasn't there anymore.

"Where's Mom?"

The elder pinkette emerged soon, "Sorry, I was out to the clinic," she said with a smile on her face.

"What happened to you?" Reine asked, worried.

Lyla laughed it off. "I'm okay; I went there for you."

Reine frowned. "For me?"

Lyla then took out a small package with a suggestive smile. Neil's eyes widened when he saw the label, "Pregnancy test?"

"Yes, try it out." Lyla smiled.

Reine took the package hesitantly, and then she headed in alone.

That was when Neil began to feel anxious: what if Reine turned out to be pregnant? Well, he had never thought of it as seriously as he did now.

What if Reine was really pregnant?

Neil rapped his feet on the ground. He didn't know what to say, or what to do.

Suddenly, they heard a scream from inside; it was Reine. Neil and Lyla immediately bolted to the bathroom, but they were interrupted by Reine's sudden appearance as she leapt towards Neil and embraced him as tightly as she could.

"Reine?! What's wrong?!" Neil asked, his heart skipping a beat.

"It is! It is!" She replied, "It's positive!"

A surge of happiness flooded his heart. The thought of Reine being the mother of his child overwhelmed him in the best way possible. He kissed her, for once forgetting that his mother-in-law was there, although soon he remembered that and blushed furiously although Lyla didn't mind at all about it.

She then moved to her mother and hugged her as well. Lyla smiled and hugged her back, "Congrats, dear,"

Reine didn't waste any time to run out from the house and called out to Jack who was watering his pineapples. "Dad! You're going to have another grandchild!"

Jack put down his watering can and went over to her, "For real?" his eyes darted to his son-in-law.

"Ugh, yes, sir."

Jack went inside and walked towards Neil as Reine dashed to take her cellphone to call Gwen and share the joy, "Good job, but this is only the beginning, I guess." Jack said.

"I know,"

Jack hit Neil's shoulder lightly. "Don't worry, son."

He wished he could say the same thing to himself.

However, he would be downright lying if he said he wasn't excited at the prospect of having a child with the woman he loved more than the world.

How will Neil and Reine go about this new experience?

Find that out in the next chapter!

Thanks for reading!

A/N: These chapters (starting from chapter 20) are actually flashbacks of Neil's memories, so everything will be in his perspective.
