"Yes...yes.. I agree with our daughters. If you can't allow a newborn baby to have any guy friends then why should we allow our princesses to get married with you guys?" Mr. Lopez teased them equally.
"What!! No!! You can't do this to us. They are already our fiance and we're going to marry them real soon. So you have to allow us no matter what." Reuben almost demanded in a panicky tone.
"Yes.. I completely agree with whatever you have said, Reuben. Our parents can't back off now from giving their daughters' hands to us." Neil bombarded at their parents.
Henry vigorously nodded his head and said, "I'm also in Reuben and Neil's team."
The elders along with others kept staring at the three men who were getting married in few days but still acting so childishly and burst into laughter...
Their vulnerable faces were so much funny that they couldn't stop themselves from breaking into fits of laughter but their laughter got a red signal when they heard a small cry..
"Wahhhhhhhhhh….."
Getting disturbed in her peaceful sleep by the old people, baby Olivia started to cry in her feeble voice.
Mrs. Smith cuddle her into her arms and swung her from right to left which led Olivia again drift into her sleep.
After she slept, Mrs. Lopez glared at everyone and scolded, "If you guys are done with showing your possessiveness then don't dare to speak anymore. Both mother and baby need rest now."
Mrs. Jones smiled taking her granddaughter in her arms and said, "As Olivia is going to enter her home for the first time the day after tomorrow, so I've planned to arrange a feast that day. So all of you are coming without missing it."
"Of course! How can we miss the opportunity to play with Olivia and eat super tasty meals?" Louis said in excitement as he rubbed his hands together.
Diana hit his head and said, "Idiot! Olivia is too much small to play with. She can only eat, sleep and cry now. Nothing more."
Everyone laughed at it while Mrs. Jones looked at Alonzo and said, "You too come on that day at our home. Your sister will also be there. So nothing to worry.."
Alonzo nodded his head while Amelia looked at Mrs. Jones who gave her a brief glance before turning towards her granddaughter again.
Everyone left after bidding goodbye to the couple and Andrew decided to stay with Lisa to take care of her and their baby...

Two days later…
Alonzo's Apartment...
"When are you coming?" Amelia asked Alonzo on the phone.
Alonzo who was buttoning up his shirt to get ready for the visiting Amelia's home, kept his phone's speaker on and said, "I'll be leaving in five more minutes."
"Hmm… I think Mom and Dad might ask us about our relationship today." Amelia muttered while fidgeting with her fingers.
Alonzo combed his hair and replied, "I also think the same. However, if they really ask us, we'll tell them the truth about us. It's not like we're committing some crimes."
Amelia thought for a while and replied, "Yes.. you're right. I can't think of losing you too. You are the one who made me understand that what kind of big problems I had created in the past..
You had told me that there is no future of me if I go behind Henry like a leech. He deserves to be happy and me too.."
"Amy… Past is past. We should forget about it and move forward, right?" Alonzo asked in a sweet tone.
Amelia smiled and said, "Yes.. You come soon then and drive safely. I'll be waiting for you."
"Hmmm… I'll be there in another thirty minutes." Alonzo said before hanging up the call.

Jones Mansion…
"Welcome..!!!!!!" Everyone shouted in excitement as soon as Lisa entered with Olivia in Andrew's arms.
They chuckled seeing the curiosity of their loved ones and placed Olivia in the crib.
The whole living room was decorated beautifully with various colours of ribbons and balloons. It was looking really cute as a welcome gift for the baby and her Mumma..
"Lisa.. You go and freshen up first. We'll take care of Olivia till then. Andrew, help her to her room." Mr. Jones said to his son and daughter-in-law.
After they went to their bedroom, they started cooing the little baby when the bell rang and Alonzo came inside with a bouquet of flowers for Lisa and some gifts for baby Olivia..
"Uh.. Please come inside and make yourself comfortable here." Mrs. Jones welcomed Alonzo who returned her politeness with a small smile.
Reuben looked at Alonzo and said, "Its good to see you here, Alonzo."
Alonzo looked at him and replied, "Thanks. And nice to meet you all too."
"Hello Alonzo. I hope you're fine." Veronica said.
Alonzo gaped at Veronica in shock as he didn't expect Veronica to greet him at all and said meekly, "Uhmm.. Yeah.. I'm fine. I can see you're good also."
Veronica grinned widely and wrapped her hands around Reuben's and said proudly, "Yes.. Bennie kees me always happy."
Reuben pecked on her forehead while Alonzo just smiled at them.
Meanwhile, Lisa too came downstairs with Andrew and joined everybody while Amelia took a seat beside Alonzo as they shared a shy smile to each other.
After everyone settled themselves, Mr. Jones asked directly without beating around the bush, "From the experience I have over love, I can clearly tell that there is something more than friendship between both of you. Now it's your turn to confirm my assumptions."
Alonzo gave a final glance to Amelia and held her sweaty hands before announcing, "We're dating from the past two weeks, sir.."
No one spoke anything more but just kept on looking at the couple. They already got a hint the previous day in the hospital that there was something cooking between them.
So they were not shocked at all with the information.
"You told us that you've met each other at Fusion for the first time, right?" Mr. Jones threw another question at them.
"No Dad.. We've met each other two years ago.."
