“Celina!! You’re back!!” Sapphire exclaimed when they entered the house.

Celina smiled and rushed to her. They hugged each other. Derek removed the cap he was wearing and smiled looking at them.

“Bro” Cameron was coming downstairs.

They hugged each other.

“How are you doing?” Cameron spoke.

Well the travel took them around 4 hours. Finally they’re back home.

“Where’s mom?” Derek asked looking around.

“She’s still upstairs sleeping. It’s still 7am” Cameron said.

“Okay, Will be back” Derek began climbing upstairs.

He slightly opened the door to Kyra’s room and saw her sleeping. He smiled and tiptoed in the room.

Derek walked up to her bed and sat down beside then gently stroke her hair.

“Mom, wake up. I’m back!” Derek whispered.

Kyra squinted and then slowly opened her eyes to see the handsome face of her son.

“Derek….” She said thinking that it was the love of her life.

Well Derek is the splitting image of his father. She got Back to her senses…

“Derek. You’re back!” Kyra sat up and hugged him tightly.

“Yes mom, I’m back and I’m never leaving you” Derek said.

They broke the hug and Kyra pinched his cheek, something she loved doing to him when he was a kid.

“When did you get home” Kyra sat up properly.

“Not long ago. Celina is with me.” Derek said.

“Come, let’s go meet the others” Kyra stood up from bed and they went downstairs.

“Mom!!” Celina exclaimed and ran to Kyra. They hugged each other.

“How are you doing? I hope Louis didn’t harm you” Kyra said, checking Celina out.

Celina nodded…

“Lina, I have some big news to tell you” Sapphire said and looked at Cameron.

“Me too” Celina said.

“I’m pregnant” They both said at the same time.

“Wow, the twin sisters are pregnant!!” Kyra said and smiled.

“Wow, I’ll be a father and an uncle. Isn’t life beautiful” Cameron said and they all laughed.

“Let me inform Nepson before he dies of suspense” Cameron brought out his phone.

“Give me the phone please?” Derek said

Cameron handed the phone to Derek. He dialed the number and walked to a corner.

“Who’s that pretty damsel” Cameron said

“Oh, guys let me present to you Belle…My friend” Celina said.

“Uhm hey guys. Good morning” Belle tugged her hair behind her ear.

“She’s really pretty. If my son wasn’t taken I would have ship you two together” Kyra said.

“Mom…” Celina frowned.

They all laughed…

Derek walked back to them.

“He said he’s coming. He’ll be here in five minutes” Derek said and shook his head. How can he get here in five minutes. Will he fly?

“So, how about we organize an outing together in family. To celebrate this reunion” Cameron said.

“Yeah, let’s do so. We’ll book a restaurant just for us” Derek said

“Let me inform dad and Fabian with his family” Sapphire dialed a call.

“It would have been better if Louis was with us” Kyra mumbled.

They all turned to her.

“Anyways, he chose the path he wants to take. I’m not God to stop him from doing so” Kyra smiled slightly…

Derek hugged her and rubbed her back.

“I’ve given him some days to repent. If he doesn’t then I’m afraid one of us will die and I’m not ready to let you and Celina go” Derek whispered only to her hearing.

Kyra sighed in sadness…

They broke the hug and derek planted a kiss on her forehead then smiled.

“Come on, let’s go get ready” Derek said to everyone.

“Derek!!!” Nepson ran in like a mad man,breathing heavily.

Derek looked at him in surprise. He truly arrived in five minutes time…

“Bro…” Derek smiled. The only friend who stayed by him when everyone accused him of being a murderer.

Nepson walked up to him and hugged him tightly.

“I’m so happy you’re alive and back” Nepson smiled.

“Me too, missed you bro” They broke the hug.

“We were planning on going out in family. Do mind joining us? You’re more than a friend to us. You’re family” Kyra said.

“Oh, okay. Thanks ma’am” He bowed in respect.

“No worries, let’s go get ready. Please give us some minutes” Derek said and they all walked away.

Nepson sighed and smiled then pocketed his hands. Looking at his right, he saw a lady who was sitting down.

“Hi” He waved at her.

“Good morning sir”Belle bowed.

Nepson furrowed his brows. Why is she being so formal. Is she a maid or something?

“Oh, no need for the formalities. I’m Nepson and you?” He smiled.

“Uhm Belle” She smiled sweetly.

“You have a pretty name just like you” He said.

“Thanks” Belle blushed and tugged her hair behind her ear.

They began talking, getting to know each other while the family were getting ready. It turned out that they are from the same town.

“Really miss my town” Nepson sighed.

“Me too. Especially the corn there” Belle said.

“You said it all” Nepson groaned and she chuckled.

Nepson found himself staring at her. From her long lashes to her small pointed nose to her natural red lips.

“Quite staring at me” Belle snapped her fingers in front of him…

“Oh, I’m sorry. You’re just really pretty” Nepson said and smiled.

“Oh…thanks” Belle looked away uncomfortably and tugged her hair behind her ear.

“I’m just being honest you know?” Nepson said and shrugged.

“We’re done…” Celina and Derek walked downstairs hand in gloves..

“It seems you weren’t bored. Belle, why don’t you come with us?” Celina smiled.

“Well…”

“Come on, don’t say no please?” Celina said.

“Okay” She smiled.

Kyra got down followed by Sapphire and Cameron. They all walked out of the house and took their respective cars.

Belle rode with Nepson and Kyra rode with Sapphire and Cameron.

“We’ll meet you guys later. Have to go somewhere with Lina” Derek said when they got to the restaurant they booked.

“Sure, go on” Kyra smiled. They drove off…

Derek stopped the car in front of the hospital where Celina works at.

“I think you have to be getting some checkups” Derek said.

“Awwn you’re so caring” Celina kissed him.

“Let’s go though I really wanna eat some olives right now” Celina frowned.

“When we were in the plane it was sushi now it’s olive. You won’t ki*ll me with food” Derek laughed as they walked into the hospital.

“That tickles” Celina giggled as they did the Eccography.

“How’s the baby?” Derek asked.

“Well its healthy and it’s a month and two weeks old” The doctor smiled.

“Thanks.” Derek smiled.

“Here is the result” Yolanda handed some papers to Derek where they could see the little foetus developing.

“So small” Celina smiled as she pulled down her shirt.

“Come back again next two weeks” Yolanda said.

“Thanks Landa” Celina got down the bed and hugged her.

“No worries, I’m happy you’re safe and sound and also enjoy your maternity leave” Yolanda smiled.

“I’ll come visit you often” She added.

“Okay, we’ll be leaving now. Bye, take care” Celina waved and went away with Derek.

They entered the car and drove back to the restaurant. Their family were all there discussing and laughing merrily…

“Thank you” Belle smiled and took the cup from Nepson.

“Whenever you see me, could you please don’t smile?” Nepson said and sat down beside her.

“Why?” Belle furrowed her brows.

“Because your smile seduces me” Nepson winked and took a sip from his drink.

“I’m I dreaming or you’re flirting with me?” Belle furrowed her brows.

“Of course. Why shouldn’t I when your name defines your beauty” Nepson leaned towards her.

“Stop being so corky” Belle pushed his away and sipped her drink.

“Do you see what I’m seeing?” Derek asked to Celina who was sitting on his laps.

“Yeah, smell some chemistry going on there” Celina said while looking at Belle and Nepson.

Derek pulled her closer and kissed her cheek. His mind spaced out to Louis.

“Today is Sunday so, I have two more days to enjoy my family to the fullest before we meet. Let’s end this war” He thought.

“Come on, let’s dance” Celina said bringing him out of his thoughts. She was done with the olives.

“Sure” He said and they stood up, walking to the center of the hall and dancing.

“Mind if we dance” Nepson stretched his hand to Belle.

“Sure” She said and they walked to the dance floor.

They began dancing as a slow music was being played.

The music switched to hip hop. They also began dancing to the rhythm of the music.

“Come on Kyra. Show them how it’s been done!!” Emile said.

“Oh, I don’t know how to dance” She said shyly…

“Come on, dance, dance, dance, dance” They all cheered.

“Don’t be a chicken” Emile smirked.

Kyra glared at him and then made an arm roll before she began dancing like a pro.

“Wow…” Derek laughed as they cheered for her.
