GOLD
“Oh my God mum, why didn’t you say this earlier?”
“I didn’t know and how was I supposed to find him plus it never really occurred to me” Irene spoke defensively
“You’re old school but how could you forget the Internet?” Gold said then Irene pulled her ears and Gold screamed in pain.
“OK mum, I’m sorry” Gold pouted and Irene let go of her ears.
“What about the drive? I want to see what’s in it” Fredrick requested
“I’ll send it over tomorrow” Irene said to him then Fredrick squatted in front of Mike and stared intensely at the boy.
“Is it true that you are my daddy?” Mike asked and Gold could see Fredrick’s eyes water.
“I’ve never really seen him cry before he’s hurt and that makes me feel sad Imagine been separated from your child for years. Damon went too far this time and I trust that Fredrick will put him in jail”
“Yes Mike I’m your daddy”
“Daddy, where have you been and how come I never saw you before?”.
“A bad man caused it and I didn’t even know you were born and it hurts so much that I had a child I knew nothing about. I wasn’t there for you as a kid and I feel like a horrible father” Fredrick said in tears.
“No Fredrick, you’re not a horrible father actually you do make a good father”Gold said to him and he smiled.
“Thanks Darling” Fredrick whispered to her
“Anytime”
“Daddy let’s go hunt the bad guys” Mike sad to the amusement of Fredrick
“Hey What about me?” Gold drew their attention to herself.
“No mummy, hunting is for men only” Mike said and they all laughed when he said that.
“Wow Fredrick, he really does take after you and I can’t believe I have a nephew already” Ethan said ruffling Mike’s hair”
“Hey Kiddo, I’m your uncle Ethan and I’m your daddy’s brother”
“I knew that already”
“How did you?”
“You said it earlier”
“What the hell?”
“What? Are you surprised? he is my son after all” Fredrick smiled.
“So this party is officially over” Fredrick said looking at the almost empty hall.
“Thanks to Austin It is” Gold laughed
“That kid ruined my party” Irene sobbed dramatically.
“Mom, don’t tell me you are crying?”
“Maybe because we didn’t even get any gifts”
“I did get a wedding gift though” Collins said and Irene looked at him surprisingly
“Really?” Irene asked and Collins noded positively
“Where is it?” Irene asked.
“It’s outside” Collins replied and they all beamed
“Comeon let’s go check it out” Irene said and they all got outside the reception and when they got outside, Irene gasped at the car in front of her because It was actually a Lexus 350, the car on vogue and it was damn expensive.
“Oh my God it’s a fucking Lexus 350 This car is damn good for racing. Do you mind leasing it out?” Caleb grinned stupidly and Irene hit him hard on the shoulder then he yelled.
“Ouch That hurts” Caleb complained
“You’re lucky I didn’t do worse to you” Irene said referring to him
“Wow, this car is absolutely beautiful” Irene squealed and checked the car out.
“It sure is” Collins said as they checked the car out together.
“Don’t worry babe I’ll get you yours” Fredrick said to Gold and she giggled happily.
“Really?”
“Yeah” he smirked and she pulled him into a hug.
“Thank you so much Darling”
“Yeah and thank you a lot Fredrick” Collins and Irene both appreciated him.
“You’re the parent of the woman I love and it’s my responsibility to take care of both of you”
“Awwn” they said in unison
“Hey honey, you have a car already and I don’t so I’m taking this one” Irene said to Collins
“Not happening because I’ll take this one and you will use my old car” Collins retorted.
“What? You know this is my dream car” Irene added
“It is my dream car too” Collins fired back as wellConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
“Maybe you should have bought separate cars for them” Ethan said laughing at the show in front of him
“Maybe”
“OK mom and dad it’s okay. You guys are one now and you don’t really have to argue over a car” Gold called them to order
“Fine”
“I did get you guys a gift too” Ethan said to the couple
“Really? What is it?” They asked excitedly
“A vacation to Paris” Ethan answered and they all screamed in surprise
“Ahh… my dream city” Irene squealed
“You dream too much” Gold said referring to her mum
The next day Fredrick Asher and Gold sat in the living room watching a random movi as it was just 7AM in the morning and Mime was still very much asleep because he was really tired from yesterday’s event.
“Your mom is still not here?” Fredrick said to Gold who turned to give him a funny look
“She never said she was coming and she’s sending Esther over”
“Oh great because I’m bored to death”
“How about I tell a story?” Ethan suggested
“No Ethan please don’t do that” Fredrick sighed tiredly.
“C’mom Ethan, ignore your brother and tell us the story” Gold convinced him
“Never knew you were a baby” Fredrick said patting her shoulder
“I am your baby if course” Gold pouted and he smiled.
“I guess you are right”
“How about we talk about our days in highschool?” Ethan suggested
“No way” Fredrick was very swift to decline
“Yes way. You got something to hide?” Gold asked him
“No. I don’t” Fredrick responded and Gold gave Ethan alook signifying he should begin the story
“So back in Secondary school, Fredrick and I were pretty popular. Fredrick especially was a professional basketball player”
“Wow so Fredrick played basketball?” Gold asked Ethan
“Yeah and so did I but we never lost a match”
“You know I did most of the goal scoring” Fredrick added
“I scored goals too and I always assisted you”
“Yeah. Whatever”
“And grls were always flocking around Fredrick”
“Why does the story have to be about me?” Fredrick complained
“Dear please please let him finish” Gold pleaded with Fredrick
“Fine”
“But Fredrick being a cold fish never gave them attention” Ethan said just looking for a way to tease him
“Did you just call me a cold fish?” Fredrick asked as he approached toward Ethan angrily
“Fredrick” Gold called him to order which made him relax a bit
“He started it first” Fredrick said as he pouted then Ethan stuck his tongue out mockingly and continued
“I was the middleman and of course I knew Fredrick would never gave them attention. so…”
“You slept with them” Fredrick completed it.
“Do you know that Ethan lost his virginity at the age of sixteen?” Fredrick said to Gold who was already rolling on the floor with laughter.
“That’s pretty embarrassing” Ethan complained
“Well, you started it first”
“And you lost yours at the age of seventeen” Ethan also said
“Are you guys really arguing?” Gold asked coming in between the arguments
“No”
“So who did Fredrick loose his virginity to?” Gold asked Ethan who proudly answered her question
“Jolly of course”
“Oh”
“Jolly was my best friend and she had a big crush on Fredrick but he didn’t feel the same way towards her and he was always so good at snubbing people”
“That was pretty mean” Gold added but Fyneface interrupted
