Chapter 26
Keifer's point of view
I could have guessed.
I could have guessed the Monster would do something like this.
"What are you doing here?" I asked in a firm tone.
"What do you think, son?" he said, smiling.
"Shut up! I'm not your son!"
"No matter how much you deny it, I'm your father."
"You were never my father."
"I know. Anyway, where are Keiren and Keigan?"
"None of your business!"
"Shut up!"
"It's none of your business where they are!"
"Wait a minute? You?" he said, looking at Tripp.
Tripp looked at the Monster and then at me strangely.
"I've never seen you before. Who are you?" asked the Monster.
"Tripp Palma?" he said.
"Hmmm... A very familiar name, very familiar indeed." he said.
"Are you leaving now?" I asked.
"Wait a minute... I remember you... You... You're my son..."
W-what?!
No... That's ridiculous...
They don't even have the same last name...
But... Maybe it's true...
We look so much alike and... We were born on the same day in the same hospital...
This might be true...
Tripp was quite surprised.
"W-what nonsense are you talking about?" I stammered.
"I told the truth. You're twins. Serina gave birth to you years ago, but I sold Trippi to a wealthy family. But... I never imagined you'd reappear years later."
It's true...
Damn!
My brother was always by my side.
I looked at Trippi.
He was already looking at me.
Then one of the Beast's bodyguards' phones rang. After a short conversation, he whispered something into the Beast's ear.
The Beast looked at us and said;
"I have to go. But this isn't over, Mark Keifer Watson. Wait for me," he said.
He smiled, looking at Tripp and me one last time, and said, "I love you, my sons."
Then he and his bodyguards left the house.
Everyone was shocked.
Tripp and I... We were twins...
"W-What are we waiting for? Let's continue," Ci-n stammered.
"No!"
Grace's voice was heard.
"Why?" Denzel asked.
"Because... I'M GIVING BIRTH!"
Damn it!
---------------------------------------
Jayjay's point of view
I looked at the operating room sign.
Grace was still there.
My birthday party was over because labor had begun.
Actually, I don't think that was the only reason...
The monster...
What I heard must be a dream...
These two can't be twins!
No...
The operating room door opened and... a baby came out in an incubator.
It was so small...
Incredibly cute...
I looked at Denzel.
He was gazing at his little baby with admiration.
Soon after, the nurse took the baby away.
And shortly after, Grace came out.
Her face was very pale.
"My baby?" she whispered.
"It's fine. Are you alright?" I asked.
She nodded.
"We'll take her to her room," the nurse said.
They slowly left us.
IN THE ROOM...
Denzel covered Grace with a blanket.
They were so sweet.
Suddenly, the room fell silent.
Until the sound of a baby crying was heard.
The nurse placed the baby in the incubator next to Grace.
Grace gently placed her hand on the baby's hand.
The baby flinched but then calmed down.
"They're so sweet."
"Denzel is a dad now."
"That will suit him so well."
For the first time, they were right.
"What will the baby's name be?" Rakki asked.
"We... we decided on Grazel Jay," Grace said.
"Jay?" I asked.
She gently nodded.
I smiled.
It was such a beautiful feeling...
Suddenly, Grazel Jay started crying.
Grace picked him up and gently rocked him.
Grazel wouldn't stop crying 😔
Denzel tried, but she still wouldn't stop.
I stood up and gently held Grazel in my arms.
She looked small, and when I picked his up, I realized she was even smaller than she looked.
His crying stopped shortly after.
I smiled.
She smelled so good.
"I'm sure Jayjay will be a very good mother."
"Grazel stopped crying in 2 seconds."
"That's really strange."
Grazel fell asleep.
I put her back in the incubator.
It was almost 11 PM.
Slowly, everyone left.
We left too, and only Denzel, Grace, and Grazel remained in the room.
I was very sleepy.
Just as I was about to enter my room, someone else entered.
When I looked, I saw it was Tripp.
--------------------------------------
Tripp's point of view
"Tripp?"
"Hi, my love."
"What are you doing here? Angelo?"
"They don't know."
"What if we get caught?"
"Nothing will happen."
"So why are you here?"
"I want to sleep with you for a little while."
"No."
"We'll lock the door. I'll leave before morning."
"Are you sure?"
"More sure than ever."*
"Okay."
Then she grabbed his pajamas and went into the bathroom.
I took off my clothes too. I was only wearing a tank top and boxers.
I lay down on the bed and waited for Jayjay.
Shortly after, Jayjay came out.
His hair was wet.
She came and lay down next to me.
His skin was so warm...
His scent was incredibly beautiful.
After a while, she fell asleep.
I also fell asleep, wrapping my arms around his small waist.
NIGHT...
"Tripp..."
Who is this?
Why is everything so dark?
"Tripp, I'm here, Daddy."
What?
"Come here."
What's happening?
The images cleared.
A monster?
It was smiling at me wickedly.
I suddenly jumped out of my sleep.
I was breathless and drenched in sweat.
Damn it!
It was a dream...
I looked at Jayjay.
She looked so innocent.
I was about to lean down and kiss him when what she said stopped me at the last moment.
"Keifer?"
Keifer?
"I missed you..."
What?
"Come here..."
Jay?
"I love you..."
My love?
What's happening?
Is this a dream?
No... It's not a dream...
But... why is Jayjay saying these things?
Is he still in love with her?
Damn it!
