Chapter 187 - 187 Family Feast (GIFTS 2)

Then it was Luna and Francois's turn to give their gifts to the twins', as the couple stands up and walks in front of everyone. Francois holds the microphone to announce to everyone their gifts to the twins when Luna suddenly snatched it from him. Francois was taken surprised at what she have done when she said "I HAVE TWO HEARTBEATS IN MY TUMMY!"

In a surprise for what Luna has announced everybody looks at her in unison. The wives of the great bosses have a big O shape if their mouth, the great bosses, Knights, Jamil, Ryder, and Dimitri stood up, Lily stared at her, the Cheung Elders who are busy talking to the parents of the Wu triplets shut their mouth, Louie's face got paled and stared at her and James seemed brought back to his senses. Francois looks at her with confusion, no one dared to speak and move, even the men and women of both HADES and Phantom were dumfounded.​​

Luna giggled, she didn't expect that her family will have a reaction like she was witnessing right now. The twins' who are very lively a while ago seemed awaits for someone to react nor for someone to clarify what their mother has just declared. "I said, I. HAVE. TWO. HEARTBEATS. INSIDE. MY. TUMMY." Luna repeats her announcement word for word for them to absorb her words. 

"Could you repeat it, in layman's term My Queen?" Francois asks her with a trembling and worried voice as he was in tears. "I AM PREGNANT" Luna replied. Then she gave a white envelope to her husband which contains her latest sonogram then said: "Surprise My King."

"You are PREGNANT! I WILL BE A FATHER AGAIN...AND IT IS INDEED A TWIN!" Francois shouted in glee and he hugs Luna in happiness as he holds her waist and carried her as he twirls her around. "Twins' you will have two bunnies next year!" Francois again shouted as he stops twirling. "Having you and the twins in my life is the greatest gift I've ever received but knowing that we will become parents again is also the greatest Christmas present I've received as we become an official and legally a couple. Thank you, My Queen, for this gift" Francois stated as he cupped Luna's face and kiss her in front of many people especially in front of Louie who is now having difficulty in breathing as for his mind can't absorb nor his heart can't accept that he already lost. He loses his chance to be with Luna...his Luna....his Love.

"Mommy is pregnant!" The twins shouted as they were brought back to their senses after they've seen their father kiss their mother. "The drug is potent handsome brother, the ovulation drug is effective" Dawn suddenly whispered to Winter. Winter smiled at his sister, they run to their parents and gave them a warm embrace, they both kiss their parents and Luna's tummy. "I hope this time you two will be identical, I don't care what is your gender but I want a baby boy for I will always be my Daddy's princess," Dawn said and it was heard by all. Everybody laughs for what they have heard, Dawn does like babies no matter what the gender is but she much preferred boys for she knew that they will pamper her even though she was older than them. 

"Louie is dead meat now, he can't win Luna's heart and attention anymore" Kim mumbled but Pearl and Eros heard it. Eros glared at him but Pearl speaks up "Once in your life you'll across a special person who makes you happy, supports you, love you unconditionally, cared for you, bring out the best in you, and makes you a better person. Don't let them go. But in the case of your friend, he let go of the Moon who once shine into his horizon. He let go from his grasp the precious gem that he will only once in his lifetime will meet and have," these words got surprise Eros and Kim. Especially Eros who knew Pearl from inside and out, he knew that Pearl can love someone beyond friendship, family and comrade. Kim went silent upon hearing Pearl's words, "Yes Louie let go from his grasps a precious gem, Yuan was right all along. Luna is very precious and she brings sunshine to someone's life" he said to himself. 

"I will be a grandfather again!" Duke Lawrence and Viscount Christian said in unison for they already realized that Luna was not joking especially when the twins speak up about having a new bunny. "Very Good Moon... Now I will have someone to take care of, My Darling wife, we will buy some properties and a house at City of Alps so that we can babysit our new great-grandchildren" Elder Lucas Cheung informed everyone.

"Ares and Soteira will be the bodyguard of the new twins" Duchess Grace announces. Ares and Soteira stood up and bowed, "We vow to Countess Luna that we will protect her and the new bunnies" Ares and Soteira uttered in unison. Luna smiled at them and she bowed as a given sign to them that she accepts their vow. 

Dimitri and Ryder walk towards the couple and embraces them, "This is a surprise for us, Luna a very expensive gift for this year. I know that the twins' will be busy decorating the baby's room when we come back at the City of Wise" Dimitri told them; Ryder chuckled, "I hope you will not crave for Francois's scent just like Isabele. Look at our poor Peaches, his neck is already full of hickeys and bites" Ryder informed them as he looks at the couple who is busy having stolen kisses at their table. "Now it's settled then, let's continue our celebration" Duke Rainer speaks up. He told Artemis to do the honors of initiating the raffles for every man and woman of HADES and Phantom and even their employees.

In Louie's table, James and Louie were both staring at Luna who is now at the table with the twins' and the great bosses of the Hades. Lily was c.a.r.e.s.sing Luna's tummy as they all talk about her current situation. "How can you bring back Luna to your arms again Louie? She is already marked by that man beside her for being pregnant?" James who is quite drunk asks Louie. Louie looks at him with disgust...even Edward and Mia can't contain their eyes to be rolled upon hearing his statements.

"Mr. James Su, I am planning to win Luna's heart by making her my friend; because I knew that she can't be my wife anymore. Even if she is still single and I want her back...back to my life, but I don't know if she will still accept me to become her lover or become her husband. All I want right now if for my children to call me father and to acknowledge me not being as a s.p.e.r.m donor but being as their father who is ready to atone his sins for them and to their mother, I want to prove to my kids that I still love their mother whatever happens and I am still hoping that we could be friends in the end" Louie informed James and he stood up and he walks away from their table and went in a far corner of the garden.

Unknown to Louie, Dimitri and Alexei were already observing him from the moment the lunch was served up to the moment Luna announces about her pregnancy. "Who did Luna seek help about having a sonogram?" Dimitri asks Alexei. 

Harry: "That would be me, she just ask if I should get a check-up in one of the gynecologists in my hospital. It happened a day before the gala. I meet her there with one of your right-hand guys, of course, the guy didn't go inside the clinic for it was privacy between the patient and the doctor. The doctor herself didn't mention to me about the pregnancy and I also didn't have any idea about it."

Amber: "I think Moon wants to surprise all of us, and most especially she wants to surprise Louie Chen. This kind of announcement will be Louie's biggest regret in his lifetime. "

Yuan: "But it was another big blow for Louie. The first one was when Louie started receiving important details about Luna being alive and with kids. The second was about last night and now was the third one. I know Louie regrets everything right now."

Isabele: "Peaches my love, this is his retribution for the things he has done to our Moon. If he loves Luna as he always says, he must not listen to others. He must listen to what his heart says to him because, for me, only the hearts will tell you what you feel for a person."

Yuan: "Luna's best gift she gave to Louie before is her time, effort, care, and love…even though she already knew that even if giving those time, effort, care, and love; Luna still knew she will not receive it back. Louie is blinded by Sofia but what I recalled is, he always tell me that his heart tells him that Luna is very precious to him. That's why after Luna went away and when he got the news about what happened at the train station he didn't stop looking for her, his heart can't accept that Luna is already gone. There is a part in his heart that tells him that Luna is still alive. That's why when he saw Luna being known as Autumn, he has a hunch that she was the Luna he was searching for….but he was too late….5 years too late."

As they all look at Louie who is walking away from the celebration with a very sad face and looks haggard, Dimitri knew that Luna's plan of hurting him by striking his heart with a knife was still not enough from what he has done to her a few years ago. Dimitri took his cellphone and sends a message to Louie and the others that are going to participate in the open forum, Louie and James got the message and there is already a HADES men awaits for them as they will usher them to the study room of Dimitri.
