Chapter 32 - Can This Day Get Anymore Challenging!

Edward's pov

This day has been getting more and more interesting than I thought! First Sam punches me, Beth gives me death glares and then Dan threatens to kill me if I hurt 'his girls'. I couldn't care less about what they are thinking about me, I was here to take my beautiful girls home and I'll do about just anything to get them back in my life but this time the right way! Once Dan was done threatening me, we got inside the house and I helped Kay set the table for everyone. Everyone joined in soon, Beth served everyone wine and we all started our lunch. Everyone were engaged in conversation talking about what's going on in their life, I kept on looking at Kay who was eating and at the same time feeding Haley who merrily ate playing with her panda. They looked so adorable, they are the most precious thing in the world to me. We all stopped our conversation when we heard everyone's phone going off at the same time, we pulled out our phone's to find a text from Patricia inviting us for dinner with family and friends stating she has an important announcement. We all looked at Beth with a questioning look but she just shrugged while Dan spoke up, "what could it be about? Even Sam and I are invited!" I wonder if it is about Haley so I asked Kay, "Does Patricia know that we have a baby?" Kay shook her head, "I was planning to tell her yesterday but she took off before I even got there. May be we can tell her everything tonight? I haven't gotten a chance to speak with her properly since her wedding". I gave it a thought before nodding while Jay snorted, "she is going to be furious since she is the last person to know about it!" Sam chuckled, "you guys are sooo screwed!" We tensed up recalling her anger and Haley's giggle bought us back from our flashback. Beth asked with fear, "So what do we do now?" Kay took a sip of her wine and spoke up, "we all will attend the dinner and try to reason. I mean how difficult it can be?" Dan asked still confused, "But why am I invited to the dinner? The last time I met her was before you were pregnant, she made it clear she doesn't like me!" Kay and Beth burst in to laughter, Kay tried to explain in between her laughter. "I might have given your number to her, she might be trying to set you up with someone!" Dan made a disgusted look and put a fork full of food in his mouth, "whatever, I am so not joining you for dinner. That woman is a gigantic pain in the ass!" Everyone burst in to laughter but she shushed him, "How many times do I have to tell you not to use any foul words in front of her! I don't want her first word to be that." He held is ear and said sorry while focusing on food, "I want you to join us for Dinner, please for me and Haley." Kay said with a puppy face which earned her a nod from Dan. Once the lunch was over Jay and Beth left claiming they need to attend an important meeting, Sam and Dan followed after them claiming they need to get a present for Patsy leaving us alone in the room. Haley was in my arms and she fell asleep within few mins, I didn't realise that until Kay told me to tuck her in the crib. I offered Kay to help her with the dishes and fortunately she accepted it. I didn't try to start any conversation and she also seemed to enjoy the silence, once we were done with the dishes I went to kiss Haley in he nursery and came back to find her standing by the hallway "So I'll take a leave now, can I pick you up at 7 for dinner?" she agreed and I left from there. I went home to finish some of my work and got dressed in faded denim and paired it with white t-shirt, I soon left to pick up Kay. By the time I reached it was almost 7, Kay opened the door for me wearing a white dress with sweetheart neckline reaching right above her knees "Are you ready?" She let the door wide open for me to come in and walked towards her room, "Yes, let me get Haley and her bag!" I waited for her to come back, she looked absolutely stunning in her dress just like when we met first time. She got back with Haley in her arms and a bag hung on her shoulder. I took Haley from her and led her out of the house while she spoke, "why don't we take my car? I have carseat installed-" She stopped mid sentence when she noticed my car. My hand led to the back of my head, "I bought an SUV since it is not safe to drive in a sports car with children. Don't worry, Diego has already installed a car seat in the back!" She nodded and I opened the door for her taking the bag from her and putting it in the back and fastening Haley's seat belt. I got in and started driving the car, "you look beautiful tonight!" She spoke up looking towards the road, "thanks, I didn't expect you to be an SUV guy!" I looked at Haley from the mirror a genuine smile played on my lips, "Anything for my girls" she ignored me for the rest of the ride and looked out of the window. Once we reached at Patsy's pent house, I opened the door for her and she immediately ran to get Haley. I handed keys to the valet and entered the building, once we reached to her house I rang the door bell and a butler led us to the living room. Patsy's back was facing us and probably we were the last one to get there as everyone was already present including Dan and Sam. Patsy turned towards us and shock written all over her face while the colours were drained as she asked, "Is there something I don't know?"
