Chapter Forty-Six

Brandon's POV:

I left Madeline at her house and went back to hotel to change and rest before I will meet my son.

Madeline told me that she has a plan I was ecstatic. She said she will bring Bryan to his favorite pizza shop tonight where we will have dinner as a family first time. Then she said I could offer Bryan some ice cream because that's what he loves to eat.

When I was a kid I used to love ice cream. Until now whatever Madeline has informed me about Bryan I realized that he sounds a lot like me.

I smiled thinking about my son.

But I still couldn't understand why Laura didn't say anything? How she pretend not to know anything about Bryan for six years?

Laura has already done so much to ruin my life but now I won't let her ruin my future too.

I can't fathom for my life why she wants to meet me. Next week she and Paul have trial in court and I need to be there too. But Laura requested to meet me before trial and I don't know what she is planning now.

I heard my cellphone rang and picked it up.

"Hello Matt. Anything new?". I asked him.

"Yeah. You need to come back as soon as possible". Matt said sounding worried.

"Why? Is there any problem?". I asked him.

"Laura gave me deadline. She said if you didn't came to meet her she will .....". Matt stopped and took the deep breath.

"What it is Matt?". I asked him.

"Her lawyer informed me that she is pregnant". Matt said.

My heart dropped in the pit of my stomach I struggled to breathe. She must be lying.

"Is there a chance that it's a lie?". I asked him.

"I don't think so. She went through the routine test under the police custody. Her reports can't be fake". He said.

I massaged my head as the painful headache started to build.

"What do you suggest I do?". I asked Matt.

"I suggest you get the first flight back to Boston". He said.

"Okay. See you then". I said ending the call.

What am I going to tell Madeline?

If the truth will come out Madeline will be broken. And there is a possibility the baby is not mine. She was with that Paul guy and it might be his baby. After all they had been in a relationship for last five years behind my back and the father of this baby could be him.

I called the airport and the only flight available for Boston today will be leaving in an hour.

But I want to meet Bryan before leaving for Boston.

I called Madeline and she picked up on the second ring.

"Hello, sweetheart". I said.

"Hello Mr.Desperate". She said in a singsong voice.

"Mr.Desperate really?". I asked her in disbelief.

"You are calling after an hour of dropping me off at my house so why shouldn't I call you Mr.Desperate?". She asked making me smile.

"Okay I get it. Actually I'm calling you to ask if I can meet Bryan now". I asked her.

"Why? I still haven't talked to him about you because he is out with my parents". Madeline said.

"Oh". I said .

"Brandon is there any problem". She asked me.

"Actually I need to go back to Boston today. I have a very important meeting tomorrow and the last flight for Boston will leave in an hour". I said.

She went silent for few minutes.

"Brandon, I don't want you to go but I understand that you've business and people depend on you. So you can go". She said.

"Madeline, you know how much I want to meet Bryan again". I said. At the end of the sentence my voice cracked.

"I know Brandon. Just promise me to come back soon". She said.

"I promise Maddy. This time when I'll come back I promise to never leave you again ever". I said.

"I'll not let you leave again Brandon". She said in her sweet voice.

"Possessive much". I teased her and heard her musical laugh.

"Oh, I'm very possessive Brandon. You've no idea". She said trying to sound sexy and I laughed.

Then we bid a goodbye and ended the call.

I packed my stuff and checked out from the hotel. I arrived at the airport on time and successfully catch the flight.

When I landed in Boston my cellphone rang and it was from my dad.

"Hi, dad". I said picking up my bag from the scanning machine.

"Hello, son. When are you coming back?". Dad asked me.

"I'm back". I told him.

"You're back. You should have told me sooner I would have sent a driver for you". He said making me smile.

"I called James and he is here to pick me up". I said.

"That's good. We'll wait for you for dinner". Dad said.

"Dad I'm going to my apartment". I said.

"Which apartment?". Dad asked me confused.

"My apartment. The one I've been living in for a year". I replied to my dad.

"Oh, I sold it". He said with the nervous laugh.

"What?". I yelled in shock catching people attention.

"You sold my apartment?". I asked him while making my way to the parking lot.

"Yes, I sold your apartment and bought a new single story house in South Boston for you. You can shift there in few days". He said casually.

I found James leaning on the car and make my way towards him. When saw me he came running to me and took my bag from me.

James has been working as a chauffeur for my family for 30 years and my father trust him a lot.

"Dad are you serious? Or you're joking again?". I asked him once again.

"I'm not joking, son. I suggest you come straight to home. Your mom and I miss you". He said making me close my eyes.

I took the deep breath to calm my annoyance and said "Okay I'm coming back to home".

Sometimes dad irritates me by doing extra ordinary things for us. He loves me and I love him a lot but it doesn't mean he have a right to make decisions for me.

I get it the apartment was under company's contract but still I have a right to choose where I live, he can't just buy a house for me in the neighborhood I grew up.

When I arrived at the house James parked the car and I got out taking my bag with me.

I knocked at the door and Margaret the house keeper welcomed me inside.

My mom was sitting on the couch and dad wasn't in the sight.

"Mom". I said to catch her attention.

When she saw me she stood up from the couch and made her way towards me.

I hugged her tightly and smelled her hair that always have fragrance of roses in them.

"I missed you so much". Mom said hugging me.

"I missed you too mom". I said kissing her cheeks.

"Your dad was really worried about you". My mom said pulling away from the hug.

"Why was he worried?". I asked her.

"Because you left so abruptly. He thought you might be in pain and hurting. I had to stop him from following you to New York. He even sold the apartment thinking that when you will come back the apartment will remind you the bad memories". Mom said making me feel bad for thinking that dad irritates me.

Dad came downstairs and saw me "Welcome back son". He said with open arms.

I hugged him.

"Thank you dad". I said pulling away from him.

"For what?" He asked me.

"For worrying about me". I said to him.

"You're turning weird with each day". He said and I laughed.

Then I went to my old room where I have spent my whole childhood and teenage. I still love my old bed, my closet and the blue, black walls with the pictures of Madeline and me hanging on it.

I shut the door and made my way to the closet to pick out my clothes and then went to shower.

After shower and getting changed my father called me down for the dinner. Elena was also in the dining room waiting for me.

"Hello baby sis". I said kissing her head then settling on the chair beside her.

She gave me the side hug and said "I'm not a baby sis. Stop calling me that".

I laughed and said "It's a revenge for calling me Brandy and embarrassing me in front of all my friends".

She smiled evilly and said "You realize I can still call you Brandy in front of your employees, friends and simply anywhere".

After hearing her I chocked on the water I was drinking.

"You're.... you're evil". I said coughing.

She smiled at me cheekily.

"Kids stop. Let's start a dinner". My dad said making me turn back to Elena and narrowed my eyes at her.

The dinner went smoothly and after that I decided to take a stroll in the garden outside my house.

I dialed Madeline's number knowing that she might be asleep and I'll wake her up.

"Hello, Brandon". She said sleepily.

"Hi, did I wake you up?". I asked her.

"Ah no, yeah. I was trying to make Bryan sleep but I guess I fell asleep with him too". She said.

Bryan name did something to my heart. I don't know why I just want to hug him.

"Can you send me your and his picture?". I asked her.

"Any random picture?". She asked me little shock.

"Yeah any picture". I said.

"Okay I'll send you when we end the call". She said.

"Did you tell Bryan about me being his father?". I asked her.

"I'm actually waiting for you to return. I know he'll get very excited and demand me to take to you". She said sadly.

"Oh that's fine. I can understand". I said but then I turned back and my eyes landed on Elena.

Her mouth was open in a shock.

Dammit she heard me!

"Goodnight, I got a go". I said and ended the call.

Elena was still standing like a statue and staring at me with her mouth agape.

"Elena". I said.

"Pinch me Brandon". She asked me.

"Do it". She said.

I hesitantly pinched her on the arm and she yelled rubbing the spot with her hands.

"You have a son and his name is Bryan?". She asked me.

"Yes, I have a son and his name is Bryan". I said massaging my head.

"Holy bananas! You have a son. My brother has a son that I didn't know about". She yelled and I had to put a hand on her mouth to shut her up.

"Elena shut up". I said making her nod her head then I pulled my hands away she cursed in her own language.

"Freaking hell Brandon. How? When and where?". She asked and that's when my cellphone beeped.

I took the look and it was an email from Madeline and opened it. There were around ten pictures of Bryan from the day he was born till now.

My eyes become teary and I blinked the tears back.

His baby face was beautiful. Bryan looked so cute and in almost every picture my boy has a big smile on his face making him look sweet.

Elena snatched the cellphone from my hands and stared at all the pictures.

"How old is he?". She asked me.

"Five". I said making her eyes widened.

"Holy Zingiberales!". She yelled.

"Dammit! What are you doing Elena? Do you want to wake up the whole neighborhood?". I asked her making her shake her head.

"OMG! OMG! Brandon he is so cute. You hid him from us for five years? How can you be so cruel? I always wanted to be aunt. Oh I already love him". She said staring at the pictures in awe.

"I know he is really cute and I didn't hide him from you. I just found out". I said.

"You just found out? What do you mean?", She asked me confused.

"I didn't know about him until a month ago". I told her.

"Brandon, who's the mother of your son?". She asked me.

"Madeline, the girl that was my best friend and love of my life". I mumbled.

"I'm going to faint, brother hold me". She said and I took the hold of her arm.

But she still fainted.

After my parents accident Elena was diagnosed with Vasovagal syncope means whenever she is surprised or shock she will faint. It is a harmless brain problem but when she faints there are chances of her getting injured.

I put my cellphone in my sweatpants pocket then pick Elena in bridal style.

My parents wasn't in the sight so I made my way up to Elena's room and laid her on her bed.

Although she is a college student, my parents didn't allow her and Erin to leave the house. They wanted their twins to spend some more time with them and I personally think they both never wants to leave mom and dad.

I pulled the quilt over her body and placed a kiss on her temple.

"Goodnight". I whispered in her ear and shut the lights of her room.

I went back to my room and retrieving my cellphone from my pocket I looked at Bryan pictures. He looked so innocent and mischievous.

Dreaming about him and Madeline I fell asleep.

Madeline POV:

Brandon call woke me up and he sounded so sad.

After he ended the call I kept thinking about him.

I wish I could do something to make him meet Bryan.

Then I looked at my right where my son was sleeping soundly with my arm underneath his head.

Whenever I fell asleep with him, he'll make my arm his pillow instead of using the real one.

I pulled out my arm from under his head and realized it turned numb.

I sent the pictures of Bryan to Brandon but didn't received the reply.

He might be sleeping.

Then an idea popped in my head and I looked at the meeting schedule in the calendar of my cellphone.

I emailed Penny to handle the meetings with Caleb. Then I booked two seats for Boston tomorrow.

I guess it is time for my son to see where his parents belongs.

Thinking about tomorrow I fell asleep.
