"I wonder how Jin will react when she saw us. Especially Baby Rein." then she looked back to the back seat where her son is playing with his toy in his car seat. "Hi, Baby Rein!"
Her son smiled at her and then continue playing.
"I hope Jin's at the apartment."
"You wanted me to give her a call?" Rein asked Chaelle without looking to her side.
"No. I wanted to surprise her."
He just smiled as his response.
"About going to my father's house. Are you sure we still have time?" she asked nervously.
"Baby, it is just 9:00 in the morning. We have a lot of time. Unless you don't want to go?"
"Of course not. I do really want to go. It's just..."
"You're nervous to see your father?" He released a soft laugh.
"Uhmm. Sort of?"
"Baby, he missed you so much. And besides, we have a company that he has the right to meet. Right?" He's pertaining to their son.
Michaelle nodded. "I think you're right. I don't know what to do if you are not with me."
"Remember, we complement each other."
"I don't think so. Maybe the right words to say is, we brought the best out of us."
"Yeah." He looked back at her when they stopped. "You didn't forget everything about us."
"Well, who does want to forget his own life?" they smiled at each other. Rein grab her left hand and softly kiss it. "I really did miss you."
"Likewise."
"Well, we should go now. We're already here. I know you can't wait to see your best friend."
Michaelle looks around. Across the road is the gate of the apartment that she used to live in.
"Let's see how surprised Jin when she sees us. Ready your camera ice prince."
"Alright, Princess." then they both smiled maliciously.
--------------------------
Jin was preparing her food when she heard the doorbell rings several times.
"He's already here? I thought it would take him 30 minutes to get here." Jin surprisingly uttered while walking towards the gate.
"Wait! I'll be opening the gate now. You could stop pressing the doorbell."
But instead of stopping, the person outside the gate pressed it even harder. "You are really annoying!" She yelled upon opening the gate. "I-" she stopped. Then she analyzed who is standing in front of her. When she realized who are the intruders, her eyes widened out while her jaw is slowly dropping.
A flash of light from a camera pulled her back to her consciousness. "Are you trying to blind me!?"
"Is that how you greet your old friends?" Rein surprisingly chuckled.
"Ohh I'm sorry. I was really shocked. Are you real? Ahh. Of course, you're real. What I mean is, am I dreaming?" Jin is obviously still in shock.
"No Jin. We're real. Can I get a hug from my best friend now?" this time, it's Michaelle. She was teary-eyed.
"Ohh, Sissy!" Jin widely opens her arms to warmly welcome her best friend.
"I really miss you, Jinny!"
"Me too! You, silly! Why you didn't call me?"
"I'm sorry. I'm really busy taking good care of our child."
"Child?" Then that's the time when she noticed a lovely baby boy on Rein's arm. Now, she is again speechless.
"Jinny?"
"I'm sorry. I don't know that you both have a child together. I thought you two broke up and. What happened? How?"
"Maybe we will explain everything when we get inside. Can we come in now?" Rein was getting irritated because he could sense that Baby Rein is now being uncomfortable.
"Ohh I'm sorry. Please come in. And you silly girl, you have a lot to tell me."
"I know. I know."
----------------------------
"So that's what happened. Ohh. I really did miss half of my life in there." Jin jokingly said after everything that happened 2 years ago were detailed to her.
"Yeah. And here he is. Our cute Baby Rein." Michaelle proudly said.
"Can I hold him?"
"Of course."
"Ohh. There you go, Baby Rein." She said while looking intently to Michaelle and Rein's son. "You don't need to explain how he got his name. He really does your look-alike, Dr. Lee."
"Yeah. He's pretty lucky to get my beautiful features." He jokingly said.
"Ohh. I didn't know that you could joke around now. I remember how stiff and boring you-"
"Jinny!" it was Michaelle.
"That's ok Baby. She's just telling the truth."
"Ohh, and you are now sweet-" she was cut by someone whom she was waiting earlier.
"I'm here Jinny! I bought food for us!"
Michaelle and Rein looked back to see whom the voice came from.
"Ohh Ohh. I didn't know that you have visitors."
"Ivan?!" It was Rein.
"Hi, Ahia!" He smiles widely at his brother. "Ohh! Achi! You're back!" Ivan, the model brother of Rein cheerfully shouted. His hair is now reddish brown.
"What are you doing here Ivan?" She looked maliciously back to her best friend who is now slapping her forehead because of great embarrassment.
"It's not how you're thinking." It's Jin that answered back Michaelle's inquiry.
"Before anything else, can I come in. So we could all eat this food?"
"Of course! Let's start digging that out!" Michaelle excitedly uttered.
"Ohh Ahia. By the way, who is that child?"
Rein just rolled his eyes. He doesn't want to explain 'again' everything to him. "Jin, do you mind if you could explain everything to your little boyfriend."
"Papa." Baby Rein uttered. It looks like he had sensed that his father is getting irritated. He stood up on his lap and give him a warm hug.
"Ohh! That's why you look-"
"Yeah yeah. That's the nth time that people said that." Michaelle is getting annoyed.
Everyone laughs at how she gets irritated about the fact that Baby Rein is really a carbon copy of his father.
Ivan just grin. "How?"
"The details would be on me." it was Jin.
"Did mother and father knew about this?" it is again Ivan. It's pretty obvious that he can't let the topic down.
Both Michaelle and Rein shook their head. "Maybe we should visit them first before heading off to my father's house." Michaelle talking to Rein.
"I guess so." He weakly smiled at her.
"I'll be coming with you. You don't have to worry. Besides, they also have the right to meet our child."
"Right. You're now using my words against me." He chuckled.
"Taste your own medicine, doctor." Everybody laughed at her joke.
-------------------------------
"I guess this time, you're the one who owes me an explanation." she looks to both Jin and Ivan who is now waiting for them to leave.
"The next time that we both free, I'll be telling you everything." Then she gave a sharp eye to the male model beside her.
"Yeah, Achi. You know, our love story is not boring as-" He paused because Rein, his brother is giving him an evil glare. "No. No. What I mean is-"
"Shut up, pig." It was Jin.
"So I guess we'll be heading off now." Michaelle smile genuinely at them.
"Bye-bye Baby Rein." Both Jin and Ivan touched Baby Rein's cheek.
"Please don't grow like your daddy." Ivan jokingly said. Rein in return tapped his shoulder lightly. Ivan got the message. He knows that his brother is really not fond of sweet words. "Take care brother."
"So?" Jin widely stretched her arms out to hug her best friend.
"I'm gonna miss you Jin" Michaelle uttered while giving Jin her warmest hug.
"Me too."
----------------------
"Are you sure my son Rein is here?" Mrs. Victoria shockingly asked one of their female attendants.
"Yes, Madam." She paused to give Mrs. Victoria her genuine smile. "They were waiting for you at the receiving area number 4."
"They? He has a company with him?"
"Yes, Madam. Young master Rein is with a lovely lady. I remember that she visited this mansion 2 years ago. And they have-"
"Please tell Frederick about this. And tell Mrs. Chan to cook feast no. 5 in her menu." She said while heading towards the door. "Tell him to be quick." with that, she has gone out of the room, leaving the female attendant smiling to herself.
---------------------------
"I can't believe Rein visited us out of the blue. And he is with a lady who became our visitor two years ago." She paused. "That could be only Micha-" She stopped again. Her eyes are now landed on their visitors who are sitting in their receiving area.
Michaelle was holding a baby who is currently jumping on the couch while Rein his son, is smilingly observing the two.
"Rein. Son." She is being emotional.
The two immediately look to where the voice came from.
"Good morning Auntie Victoria." It was Chaelle, who greeted smilingly at Rein's mother.
"Michaelle, is that really you?" she said while approaching the two.
"Yes, Mam."
Tears of joy that Mrs. Victoria was holding finally escaped out of her eyes.
"I can't believe this is happening."
"Mom. Stop crying." Rein approached her mother and lovingly hug her.
"I can't. I'm really happy to see you here without dragging you inside our house. And I'm so happy that you are again with Michaelle."
"I'm glad your happy for both of us. By the way, we wanted you to meet Baby Rein." He smilingly uttered.
"Ba-baby?" She turned her gaze to the baby on the couch. "Baby Rein?"
"Yes, mother. He's my child."
"Oh my God! Is this true? Or you're joking around? Cause if you are, I swear I'm gonna kill you!"
"No mother. He's our child. Your grandson." Rein chuckled.
"I guess they are telling the truth. Look at the baby, he really looks like our son." the three look simultaneously at their back, the owner of the voice is Rein's father.
"Dad." Rein smiled at him.
"Ohh! You're right Frederick! Rein! You really makes me happy." then she walk and seat beside the baby.
"Baby Rein. You are adorable." Michaelle gave the baby to her grandmother. "Hi, baby. I'm your grandmother."
"Gama!" Baby curiously uttered.
"Oh! He said, grandma."
"No. He said gama." Rein corrected her mother."
"Don't be such a baby! You're killing my happiness. You know it's grandma."
"K. Ma. As you wish."
"Ok baby, say Grandpa. That's me!" Frederick said upon looking down at his grandson. He pats the top of his head lightly.
"Papa!" Baby Rein excitedly said.
"No. Grandpa."
"Papa!" He said and jump over the couch.
"Alright. You won."
"Well sir, he really loves Rein more than me. So we can't really compete with the father."
Frederick released a hard laugh. "Yeah, you're right. I guess that's one of the things that he got from Rein. You know, my son loves me more than his mother. Right, Victoria?"
"I can't agree with that. Right Son?"
"I don't know mom. I both equally love you. So I guess no question on that."
"By the way, Michaelle right?" Frederick asks her.
"Yes, sir."
"No. No. You can call me father."
"Dad!"
"Shut up Rein. I'm not talking to you." He cooly said. "Well, did Rein told you that I and Simon are old buddies?"
"Yes, si-Dad. I mean can I really call you Dad?"
"Yes of course. And from now on, call me mom." It was Mrs. Victoria, who is now busy with Baby Rein.
Michaelle smiles. "All right then. About that Dad, yeah, Rein told me that you and my father are really great friends."
"Yes. Your father is a great man. He can offer his own life just to save others. Like what he did for me." He paused to breathe some air. "Well, I think he didn't tell it to you. Simon is my kidney donor. And he spared my life by offering one kidney for free."
"I-" She doesn't know what to say. She is not aware of that. All that she knew was his father got an accident that led to injured his kidney. She doesn't know that the man selflessly gave it to his friend.
"He is a great man Michaelle, and he really missed you," Frederick said while tapping her shoulder.
"I know Dad. Thank you." She said smilingly with tears in her eyes.
"No. I must be the one to thank you and your father." He paused for a while. "Thank you for loving my son Rein and of course, for bringing Baby Rein into our lives."
Michaelle gave them her sweet genuinely smile. She finds Rein looking intently at her.
"We're really happy for both of you. By the way, when is the big event?"
"Big event?" both Rein and Michaelle asked in chorus.
"The wedding of course! Don't tell me you're not thinking about that yet?" Mrs. Victoria worriedly asked the two.
"Vicky. Don't rush things. I know they were planning things at their own pace." Frederick calmly said.
The two shockingly looked at each other. Both Rein and Michaelle did not really think of that yet. And now, they were cornered.
"We're are still furnishing things, Mom." He said while looking directly at Michaelle's eyes.
---------------------------
They are now back at Rein's car after a feast that Rein's parents had prepared for them. Baby Rein is sleeping comfortably on Michaelle's arm while Rein is arranging his car seat.
"I forgot to ask you. Where is your old car? This one is new." Michelle's curious inquiry.
"Oh, that one. I sold it to one of my colleague's friend 2 years ago." He gets Baby Rein from her and carefully put him in his car seat.
"So, does this car has a name?"
"Of course. You wanna know?"
"No. No. Uhm. But if you insist." She said while going inside the car.
"Ok. I insist." He released a soft laugh. Then he turned his head to his right. He slowly moves to her ear and whisper, "Her name is Princess." he said in his low and sexy voice.
The warm breath of Rein makes her shiver. It creates a tiny volt of electricity that runs down through her spine.
"Ohh. What a lo-lovely name." She's stuttering.
"Yeah. I know." Rein's position was still close to her. His left hand is over her thigh while the right is softly caressing her cheeks.
Michaelle closed her eyes. She cannot really prevent herself to react if she will look directly into his eyes. Then suddenly, he felt his hand caressing her right thigh. Up and down. His soft lips are gently biting her left ear. It slowly runs down at the back of her ear, down to her neck.
"Rein..." A soft moan escaped from her lips.
"Yes princess?" he said in between his kisses.
"If you forgot. We are still inside the car. At your parent's house."
"So?" he continues kissing her, down to her shoulder.
"Rein."
"I have room in here. So as you know." His hand is now inside her blouse, reaching for her breast. "I want you now." He softly whispered.
He angles his face to easily kiss her lips. At first, it was gentle. As gentle as how is he doing with her breast. As the stroke of his lips became aggressive, the pace of his hand follows. "Rein..." She moaned.
This makes him became more aroused. "Chaelle. I-"
He was cut by the cry of a child.
"Baby Rein!" She panicky pushed him away.
"F*ck!" His head hit the roof of his car.
"I'm sorry Baby. But Baby Rein's crying." She doesn't know what to do. Baby Rein is currently crying while the father of her child is holding his head because of so much pain.
"Get the baby first. I'm fine." He said after releasing a long sigh.
Michaelle was about to alight when she felt his hand grab her left wrist.
"Please fix yourself first baby. You look like someone had raped you." He softly chuckled.
"Ohh." She looked down her dress. He's right...She's messed. She was not aware that Rein almost undresses her.
She fixed herself up and before she alights the car, she looks back at him and saw that he was really got disappointed. It's obvious in his eyes.
When she gets inside the back seat, she carefully heaves her son. "Baby Rein. Mommy is here. Stop crying now." She said to him while gently touching his back.
"Maybe he wanted to breathe some fresh air." He suggested.
"Maybe your right." She alighted the car to easily stop him from crying.
"Michaelle, you're still here." The voice came from Rein's mother. She was holding a spray bottle ready to use for her orchid.
"Yes, mom. Baby Rein's crying. I think he's not comfortable sleeping in his car seat." She worriedly said.
"Ohh poor Baby Rein. Maybe you should stay for a little longer so that my grandson could get a decent sleep. Besides, It's just 12:30 in the afternoon."
"Ok, mom. Maybe that's the best that we could do. I'll tell Rein about that."
"You have a lot of time to rest. You could leave in the afternoon if you want." She smiles at her before she continues. "I'll go in first so we could prepare Rein's room for you."
Michaelle smiled at her in response.
----------------------------------
This is the first time that she get inside Rein's room. It was a typical men's room that nothing really interest her except for a cabinet of trophies and pictures inside it.
While still holding her son, she walks towards the cabinet to closely scrutinize its content.
The biggest picture is a young Rein holding a big cup trophy that says he won the first place in the F1 racing.
"I didn't know that he used to join in that kind of competition. I thought he's just a-"
"A boring idiot." he cut her words.
She turned around to see him standing behind her while his arms are crossed in front of his chest.
"I'm not aware that you are already there." She nervously said back.
"Well, I intentionally came inside quietly to surprise you. I guess I succeeded. By the way, Baby Rein's crib is now ready."
"Alright. Thanks." She became uncomfortable because of how he looks at her. She excused herself to put their son inside his crib. "There. Sleep tight baby Rein." She smilingly said upon successfully laid down her son without waking him up.
She was looking down at sleeping Baby Rein when she felt a set of arms hugging her from behind. She tightly closed her eyes when she felt his soft lips now tracing the back of her neck. "Maybe we could continue now what we left inside the car?" He said between his kisses.
"Rein."
"Shhh." He slowly slid his hand inside her blouse to let it wander on top of her breast. "You know Baby? These two are my favorite." He is now caressing the right while kissing the blade of her shoulder.
Slowly, he heaved her and put down on top of his bed. Then he let himself lied on top of her body.
Looking down, he traced her jawline with his fingertip down to her lower lip. "I love you Michaelle." He lovingly said while staring intently at her eyes.
"I love you too Rein." She smiles. "I never stop loving you."
Rein gives her a genuinely sweet smile before he aggressively took her lips. She freely open her mouth to let his tongue plays inside her mouth. Down her left thigh, his hand is gently caressing it. Then she felt that slowly, he is taking her blouse off and then followed by her pants. He did that while he's busy kissing the different parts of her body. Now, while kissing the side of her neck, she felt that his hand is busy unhooking her bra. What's left is just her undergarment below.
Rein carefully move away to unbutton his polo. Same as what he did in Thailand, he didn't remove it which makes him look sexier. "I didn't imagine that I would be using this room to make love to you."
"Really? Why is that so?"
"Well, this room is full of pain and sadness." He said while removing his pants off.
"So I guess. Not anymore. We will replace all those memories with happiness and love." She pulled him closer to kiss him passionately. Now, she's the one who is more aroused.
She saw the pain in Rein's eyes the moment he says pain and sadness. And she wanted to erase those sad memories inside this room.
Rein was responding aggressively. When Michaelle pulled him closer, it makes him feel more sexually hype. This is the first time that she initiated the kiss.
"Baby..." He moaned. "I want you now."
"I want you too."
Rein removed the last piece of clothing in her body. He positions himself on top of her, ready to claim her again.
"I love you!" he said in between the thrust. "Ahhh..." he softly moaned.
"Rein...I love you too." She wrapped her legs around his waist and tightly hold his shoulder. She cannot hold it any longer. The pleasure that he is giving her makes her feel dizzy. She felt drunk from his love.
He spread her legs to give a deeper thrust. "Ahhhhh... Michaelle..." His soft moans are becoming louder.
She just hoping that the room is soundproof. Or else, everybody outside this room will be now aware of what they are currently doing.
"Rein..." every thrust gives her a wonderful feeling. The feeling is different from the first time that they do it in Thailand. This time, there's no hint of pain. It's just full of pleasure.
"Michaelle... I want you...more." He is breathing hard beside her ear. His sexy voice is like music to her ear.
"Baby. Please.." She was pleading to take her more.
When they both reached the peak, she felt Rein's breathing very fast. "Satisfied with my love?" He finally spoke while still on top of her.
"Very...and I'm happy."
"I know." Then they both fall into sleep while hugging each other with a smile on their lips.
---------------------------------
"Hi baby Rein!" she said to a lovely baby boy who is now currently enjoying his toy on the back seat. "See that beach? That's my favorite place. Would you want to play there later?" She said while passing the ocean near their home.
Baby Rein gives her a sweet soft laugh and smiles. As if he is saying yes to her.
Rein, on the other hand, heard what Michaelle had said. That beach is her favorite place? The same beach where he saw the brave young lady. The young lady who wore the same high school uniform with her. Like what he saw on the picture in her bedroom.
"Rein."
"Yeah, Princess?" He responded without looking back. His eyes are focus on the road.
"You're too quiet. Is there any problem?" She worriedly asked him.
"Nothing. By the way, did I tell you that I slept once in your bedroom?"
"What bedroom? The one in my father's house?"
"Yeah." He smiled.
"Ohh. I guess my father approved on you." She released an awkward laugh.
"Actually, we're kinda close to each other."
"Really? How?"
"That's our thing. And our little secret." He teases her.
"That's not fair! Please spill it out!"
"No!" He chuckled. "By the way, we're here."
Michaelle looks around outside the car. She read the signboard of 'Auntie Claire's Diner.' She look back to Rein and nervously hold smiled.
Rein got the message. He grab her both hands and enveloped them with his own. "Don't worry. Everything is fine. Sir Simon is waiting for you. He misses you. He misses her daughter."
Michaelle felt calmer. She nodded and take a deep breath. "Let's go."
Rein sweetly smiled back. "I'll hold Baby Rein. I guess you'll be needing your hands later." He chuckled.
"Yeah right." She smiles nervously.
---------------------------
"Auntie Claire?" it was Rein. Michaelle followed him. She was holding his left hand, walking behind him like a terrified child. "Auntie Claire?"
"I am in the kitchen. Please have a seat first." Auntie Claire response without knowing whom she is talking to.
"It's Rein." He casually said. Then followed by a chuckle.
"Ohh! My handsome young doctor!" a tone of excitement was obvious from her voice. She was running excitedly towards the dining area.
"Hi, Auntie Claire!"
"How are you Rein! It's been a while since you visited us with-" she stopped when she noticed that the male doctor is holding a baby and he is with a woman that she can't fully see because she looks like hiding behind Rein. "Who is this Baby?"
"My son." He smilingly said.
"Yo-your what?"
"Son."
"Are you kidding me? Are you sure? Or you're joking around?" She was really shocked.
Instead of answering her back, he move to the side to let her see his company.
"Cha-Chaelle?" She stutteringly uttered.
The beautiful lady smiled and nodded. The next moment, she was now enveloped to a tight hug of Auntie Claire. "You really are Chaelle. Our beautiful princess." She said in between her sob.
"Yes, Auntie Claire. I miss you." She is also now in tears.
"Me too." she slowly pushes her away to fully see her face. "You still pretty as ever."
Michaelle nodded. "By the way Auntie, the child is our son. Baby Rein." Then they both look to a lovely boy in Rein's arm.
"What a cute little boy. Ohh!" She pointed the little boy and then shift it to Rein.
"Yeah, I know Auntie. He looks like his father. I can't argue about that. Everybody says that."
"What a lucky baby. I bet you will grow to be A
a handsome man, like your father."
"Don't say that Auntie. You are just feeding the ego of his father." Michaelle rolled her eyes.
"Auntie Claire is just telling the truth." Rein teasingly respond.
"Yes of course. You're both beautiful..so no question that Baby Rein will grow into a handsome man."
"Hmmm. Now I only received a consolation from you?" She was jokingly jealous.
"Of course not. You're both number 1 to Auntie Claire's heart. Ohh. You're now three on the spot."
Michaelle hugged her right arm and leaned her head to her right shoulder. "Thanks, Auntie Claire."
"Anyway, did you already see your father?"
Michaelle stared at her and shook her head.
"What are you waiting for? The old man is in his front yard. I think he's playing with Dylan."
"Dylan?"
"Rein's Dog." She said while looking back to the male doctor.
"Actually, it's your dog. Remember Dylan that we adopted from the shelter?"
"Ohh! That's right. Dylan. The cute golden retriever."
"Yeah. So let's go now?"
Michaelle held her chest and take a deep breath. "Ok. I think I'm ready now."
----------------------------
"Bring this back to me. Ok?" Simon, talking to a Cute Golden Retriever seating in front of him. The dog's collar has a letter D pendant freely hanging in front of his neck. "Get the ball!" as he threw the baseball away, the dog quickly run after it.
That's the scene that Michaelle and Rein had seen. Rein tap her shoulder and carefully push her forward. "Go, princess." He gave her his reassurance smile.
She nodded to him before she walks near her father.
Dylan, the golden retriever is gladly running back now with a ball in his mouth. He carefully put it on Simon's hand. "Good boy!" Simon said while touching his head playfully.
"Dad." She said in her low voice.
Simon nervously stops playing with Dylan. He heard the familiar sweet voice of a woman. Did she says 'Dad?' it echoed inside his mind. Is he now out of his mind? Because that voice belongs to his daughter. His only daughter left him 2 years ago.
"Dad. I'm here now." Michaelle said while taking a seat beside him.
Still, her father is quiet. He doesn't talk or even move. As if he was frozen by a witch on where he is seating right now.
"I know it's hard to believe. But I am really here now. Your daughter, Chaelle." She holds his trembling hands with both of her hands. That's the time that the tears that are about to fall, freely flow down her cheeks.
She heard a low sob from his father. Like her, he is crying while tightly holding her hands.
"I'm sorry Daddy if I also left you. I promised before that I would stay with you as long as you live."
"No baby. I'm the one who must say that. I'm the one who hurt you and even lied to you. I deserve all of this. I'm sorry." Simon said in between his sob.
Dylan felt the emotions that are overflowing from them. He sadly snuggles to their side in order to comfort them.
"Ohh." Michaelle was destructed by the dog. "Is this Dylan now?" She wipes her eyes before she held his head.
"Yes. Rein brought him to me. He said Dylan is your dog and I'm glad that he became my company up to this time." He washes his face with his hand.
"Dad, Rein is with me." She turned his gaze to her boyfriend who is currently playing with their son. "By the way, the baby is your grandson."
Simon got speechless for a moment. Rein decided to walk towards them to give Baby Rein to his grandfather. That's the only time that Simon found his tongue.
"Ohhh. You're my grandson. What's your name little angel from above?" he lovingly asked his grandson though he knows that he can't get any response from the baby.
"His name is Baby Rein. And pls Dad. Refrain from telling that he looks like Rein because I already heard that for a million times." Michaelle jokingly said.
The two important men of her life laughed at her joke. Making her aggravated a little bit.
"Fine. Laugh. The joke isn't funny."
Rein was about to respond when they heard Auntie Claire calling them for great food that are ready to be eaten.
"Come on you three! Are you not yet done?"
"Comin' Claire!" It was Simon who stood up first while still holding Baby Rein.
Rein offered his hand to help Michaelle stand up. Automatically, he wraps his arms around her shoulder to pull her closer. "I'm happy for both of you." He said then lovingly kissed the side of her temple.
"Thank you, Ice prince." She sweetly replied back.
"You are very welcome, my princess."
"You two! Come on now. The food is waiting." this time it was Simon.
"We're coming!"
-------------------------
After eating the mouthwatering food that Auntie Claire had prepared for them, they decided to take a walk at the beach near their home.
"I hope Baby Rein is enjoying playing with Dylan," Michaelle said while looking down on the fine sand that they were now walking on.
"Don't worry. He'll be fine. He really loves Dylan and besides, he is with his grandfather."
"I guess you're right. Remember the time we walk like this when I felt down before?"
"Yeah. That's the time when you saw the woman. Or rather your mother."
"Yeah. I said that the beach and ocean have a calming effect on me. Well, this beach really did well." She paused to look at him. "I used to cry in here. Shout the things that bother me. Things that hurting me. I think that was 12 years ago."
Rein suddenly stopped walking. He shockingly stared intently at her.
"Is there a problem Ice prince?"
"Nothing. But I realized something important." He said while still glaring at her.
"What is it?"
"Is there any chance, that you used to go here while still in your high school uniform to shout out the pain that a certain woman had caused you? From taking away your brother? And for leaving you alone? I remember a line from that young lady. She said something like she will live to be the best of everything to make her realize that what she threw is the most valuable person in this world."
"Ohh. I remember saying those kinds of words. And how did you know that?" Michaelle curiously asked her boyfriend.
Instead of answering back, he held her closer and passionately kissed her lips. It was a good minute of kissing when they decided to stop to breathe some air. Rein rested his forehead to hers. His eyes were still closed.
"Rein? Are you alright?"
"I can't believe that you're the brave young lady that I saw here 12 years ago. The reason why I am still alive."
