While they are on their way to the hotel for their late lunch, he remembered how he became close to his friends. The friends whom he knew would never leave him during his darkest days. The very same circle of friends that took him months before he became close to them.

Ethan opened up about his connection with Lucas to his friends after getting to know them for almost half a year. All of them were shocked about the revelation of their new friend but none of them made him feel that they would take advantage of him. No one in country A did not know about the Smith Family or even Lucas Smith, he is after all the current CEO and owner of the largest company in the country and the 2nd richest man in the whole world.

Ethan's friends rest assured that they do not care about the background of each other since some of them did come from an influential family but still wanted to have a normal life. They all feel the same thus their friendship became smooth sailing and all of them are very close even after so many years.

A few days later, Ethan was getting ready for their dinner when Lucas went inside their room together with their son Asher. It was the day that they had set up for everyone to celebrate their advanced wedding anniversary. The initial date of their anniversary was at the same time and date as the fashion show of 'Strings Attach' in-country S. Which is why the couple would need to fly there for both work and leisure as a celebration of their anniversary with just the two of them.

"My love, are you ready?" asked Lucas, he calls Ethan different names but whenever they are in bed he would only call him by his name as intimate as possible.

"Yes, I just need to fix my shirt, is my belly that obvious? I'm just three months pregnant but my belly is already showing" Ethan stood up and went towards his husband while he tries to fix his shirt. He going near him indicates that he needs help and Lucas is more than willing to help his pregnant wife.

"Well, my dear wife you look good no matter what you wear, and even if you don't wear any-"

"AAAHHH!!! STOP! LUCAS! Asher is here!" Lucas wasn't able to finish his daring words as his omega shouted and immediately cover the ears of their son.

"*chuckles* Asher doesn't understand it yet plus what I just said was true. You look great no matter what, with clothes or without it"

"STOP! Asher is at the age that he adopts what he sees and heard so stop saying that"

"Mommy please don't get angry at Daddy," said the little boy who was now standing between the couple while he holds his small rabbit stuff toy with a big blue ribbon on it.

"*smile* Your mommy isn't angry with me, he is just shy Asher"

"*giggle* mommy don't be shy, Daddy and Asher loves you so much"

"*sigh* I know my baby and mommy also love you, your siblings, and daddy so much. But your daddy here says something that shouldn't be said to me while you are here but I am not angry, ok?"

"OK! Mommy, Nana says that she got me a big balloon so we need to go now!"

"*giggle* did she? Alright, mommy's ready so we can go now" The three then left the master bedroom and went on their way towards the front door of their house. Their house was just a few streets away from the house of Lucas's parents which is very convenient in a lot of ways. While Mikel and Louis chose to live in a penthouse near the company. Although Lucas also brought one unit in the same building as his brother, it was only used by them whenever Ethan would work on a night shift. But ever since they had their son, whether the omega has a night or day shift, he would go home to their house even if it's a bit far from the hospital.

Lucas and Ethan prepared a dinner party in one of the hotels that were owned by Lucas himself. They invited all of their close friends and family for the celebration of their 5th wedding anniversary. To think that their relationship started in a bit weird way but in the end, they were still together. Their lovely family is growing too as the years went by.

"Ethan! Lucas! You are finally here, oh! my dear little Asher! Did you miss Nana?" asked mother Smith. Bella Smith was the mother of Lucas and Mikel while Zack Smith was the former CEO and father of Lucas and Mikel. The two of them were delighted when they got to know that Lucas got married to Ethan who is an omega. Bella wanted to have an omega child but since she and her husband both have dominant alpha genes the chances of having an omega child is close to 0%.

The two even got worried for their eldest son who seem to have no interest in any woman or omega. But when their second child suddenly called telling them that his older brother will get married to an omega. The marriage happened sooner than they expected since their oldest son came back home with an omega hiding behind him while saying he was his wife. Mother Smith didn't accept the fact that his son rush their marriage registration without even telling them. This is why most of the wedding preparation of Ethan and Lucas was done by Mother Smith. Lucas wanted to take care of all of it but his mother forbids him, aside from choosing their own clothes none of the preparation was known to the couple, not until their wedding.

Unexpectedly, Mother Smith made everything so grand, she only asked the opinion of Lucas with regards to the location and pax of the people they would be inviting but other than that she took care of everything. From the venue, priest, design of the whole reception, up to the foods and give away. She thoroughly checks everything up to the last minute before the wedding. She wanted the wedding of her oldest son and son-in-law to be as perfect as much as possible. Father Smith didn't try to stop his wife, and even Mikel didn't do anything to stop it since they both knew that no one can stop her from doing something that she had decided to do. Overall, Ethan was so shocked when they arrive at the wedding reception which is also the same place where they will take their vows.

The omega had even said to his mother-in-law that it was too much but the only thing that Bella said was 'Nothing is too much for you dear, you are now the wife of my son. You are now my son-in-law so all of these are what you deserve as the wife of Lucas. All I can ask you was to love my son and also for you to call me Mom or mother, anything will do', Those words made the omega cry. He never thought that there was someone out there who would ask him to call her mother despite not having any blood relations.
