Chapter 140 - 137

[LAST NIGHT]

Tristan had already fallen asleep next to Justin...

Or at least that's what he wanted.

After almost falling asleep, his eyes suddenly opened as he stared at the ceiling that wasn't even visible to him anymore because of the darkness. A thought invaded his mind, making him unable to sleep.

'The world should know that my darling is pregnant,' he thought, still staring in the darkness. 'But he wouldn't like that, would he?' he thought.

"It should be fine if I just tell my dad, right...?" he muttered to himself.

Tristan instantly got up from bed and walked to the switch. He then began looking for his phone, and when he found it, he went out of their room and dialed his father's number.

"Yes, what is it?" his father said on the other line as soon as he answered. "Dad, I have great news!" Tristan said in an excited tone.

"What is it? Why do you sound like someone who just found out he's now a father?" Ben chuckled. "Because that's how I'm feeling right now! I'm gonna have another child with Justin," the alpha said with a wide smile on his face.

"What?! Is that true?! Justin is really pregnant? Haha!" Ben, on the other line, sounded ecstatic to hear the news. He was already happy that he has three grandchildren, and now, another blessing will arrive in their family soon.

"Who is that, bro? What are you talking about?" Tristan heard someone speak in his father's background. "Oh, great timing! My son said Justin is pregnant," Ben laughed, his happiness evident in every laugh that left his mouth.

"What?! Is that true?! Let me talk to him," the person from the background said as he took the phone from Ben's hand.

'Ah, so it's Justin's father,' Tristan thought as he smiled upon knowing that the person who's with his father is Rafael.

And so, the news that reached Rafael also reached Justin's other family members. It also became known to the other people living in Ben's mansion that another Lee will be born soon.

Everybody fussed over the news that night, and after they all had their turns talking to Tristan, the alpha and his father finally talked again.

"Dad, I actually... I'm actually planning to propose to him soon," Tristan said as he smiled. "I'm just telling you this to inform you about it," he continued. "Yeah? Go for it, son. You have my blessings," Ben said on the other line.

Recently, their father-and-son relationship became better because of Justin and the twins. Tristan had the wrong idea of his father all this time, so he's glad that they're able to fix things even though it's a bit late. But being happy about fixing their relationship wouldn't change the fact that Tristan and Justin became separated before, partly because of Ben.

Regardless of what happened before, Justin and Tristan decided to let it go since it already happened and they can't change the past no matter what they do.

Now, things are all better and they're living the happiest life they could ever wish for.

[BACK TO PRESENT]

"I'm sorry, I couldn't keep it to myself," Tristan said to Justin, feeling guilty for telling them without Justin's knowledge.

It was supposed to be a surprise. They were supposed to tell them together with the twins, but things didn't go as they wanted because of an excited alpha.

"It's alright," Justin chuckled.

They're currently in the kitchen, preparing some sandwiches for their family who arrived earlier. The sandwiches will also serve as their breakfast since it's also easy to make.

"Good morning, babies!" the couple heard Marina say from the living room.

'The twins must be awake already,' the couple thought as they prepared the sandwiches.

They headed to the kitchen together and served the sandwiches with a pitcher of mango juice.

"Mommy, daddy," Chester called them as he rubbed his eye. "Hmm?" Tristan looked at him and raised his brows, asking why the little boy called. Chester looked in the direction where their grandparents and uncle are.

"Oh," Tristan chuckled. "You two, come here," the alpha called the twins. Chesca and Chester approached their daddy who called them just now. Tristan knelt on one knee and looked up to Justin. The omega was also looking at them, and as soon as his eyes met Tristan's, he immediately knew what the alpha wanted to do.

It's not a surprise already since only the twins didn't know about Justin's pregnancy, so it's alright if they tell them about it now.

Justin also leveled his head with the twins and smiled at them before speaking. 'I wonder how they will react? They've only had each other until now, but they're having a sibling soon,' Justin thought as he swallowed hard, a bit nervous and excited at the same time.

He wanted to see how the twins will react to the news. He knows that some kids will be happy to have a baby sibling, but there are also some kids who don't want to have a younger sibling. He wanted to know which of the two the twins are.

"You see, mommy and daddy have news to tell you," Justin started as he held the twins' hands. "What is it, mommy?" Chesca said as she looked at Justin with curious eyes. "Well..." Justin paused for a while, thinking of how he should word it.

"Mommy is gonna have a baby, which means Chester and Chesca will be the baby's big brother and sister," Justin said as he smiled at the twins.

"What?! OMG! Really?!" Chesca's mouth gaped as she smiled widely, happy about the news. Chester, on the other hand, was quiet. "Yes, my little princess," Justin giggled and pitched Chesca's cheeks softly.

"What's wrong, bud?" Tristan said as he looked at the little boy who was very quiet. As soon as Tristan spoke to Chester, tears started welling up in the little boy's eyes. His ears, nose, and his eyes became red right away as he started crying.

"Waaah! B... Big brother... Chester... Chester is gonna be a big... brother," the little boy said as he sobbed.

Justin and Tristan looked at each other, wondering if the little boy is happy or sad because of the news.

"Let Chesca explain!" the little girl stepped up with a proud smile on her face. She was proud for knowing why her twin brother is crying right now.

"Chesca and Chester always wanted to have a baby brother or sister, but we didn't have a daddy before. But now, we already do. Chester is happy to be a big brother," Chesca said as she nodded while closing her eyes as if she's a detective, who's making a deduction.

Justin chuckled. "Is that so? Come here, you two," the omega said and wrapped his arms around his children.

After telling them the news, they started eating with their family. As they ate, Justin remembered that they still have to go to work, especially since Tristan is the CEO of the company. He also knows how Tristan is never late when coming to work, so he did not want to break that record for his alpha. The twins also have to go to school, since it's still a weekday.

"Uh... excuse me, but we have to go to work in a while. The twins also have to go to school, too," Justin said as he placed the glass of mango juice on top of the coffee table.

"What nonsense! We'll bring the kids to school, so you should go on a date with Tristan," Ben said and chuckled.

It didn't sound bad to Tristan because it's been quite a while since the last time they've been on an actual date. They've been quite busy tending to the twins, that they barely have any time to spend time with only the two of them.

Although the alpha liked the idea of going on a date with Justin, he didn't know if Justin also felt the same way as him, so he decided to wait for his response to what Ben suggested.

"Oh, really? That would be great!" Justin smiled and looked at Tristan.

His icy blue eyes were sparkling, reflecting his happiness through his eyes. Unbeknownst to the alpha, Justin also wanted to spend time with him.

Justin was actually looking for the perfect timing to propose to Tristan because they barely spend time alone with each other. They only get to be alone at night when they're about to sleep, and the bedroom isn't exactly the place Justin wanted to propose to his alpha.

Justin wasn't the only one getting an idea of proposing today. Inside Tristan's mind, he was formulating a scenario in his head, where he's proposing to Justin.

'I'll have Troy help me prepare a perfect place where I can propose to my darling,' Tristan thought as he smiled. Just thinking of what will happen later when he proposes, the alpha couldn't contain his excitement that he almost giggled from feeling so excited.

If someone from their company sees Tristan like this, they would definitely think he's another person because he's usually very indifferent and always wears a poker face.

The couple were unaware of each other's thoughts and their desire to propose to each other.. With that, their date began with a ring box in their pockets.
