Chapter 285 Safety

Daniel hugged her tightly. "It's gonna be okay, babe. Don't worry." He wasn't just assuring her but also himself. He knew that if something went wrong, Elsa wouldn't take it well.

"What if I make a mistake again and—"

"Hey—" He interrupted her. "I am saying this again, what happened last time wasn't your fault. Things like that happen all the time, you can't blame yourself over something that isn't in your control."

"But—"

"No ifs and buts," he interrupted her. "We are going to the doctor tomorrow first thing in the morning and then we will see what has to be done."

He kissed the top of her head. "Don't forget that we are in this together. No one is alone."

Kate nodded before burying her face on his chest.

[Next Morning]

When Andrew and Rachael came down for breakfast, Daniel and Kate were home after seeing the doctor.

"Where are you both coming from?" He glanced at the watch. "This early."

Daniel smiled and wrapped his arm around Kate's waist. "Well, we went to see the doctor."

"Doctor?" Andrew frowned. "Is everything okay?"

Daniel looked at Kate and smiled before answering, "Nothing had ever been this perfect."

"What did the doctor say? Everything is okay?" When Kate nodded, Rachael gave her a hug. "Thank God."

Andrew, who had no clue what was going on, couldn't help but frown. "What—"

Before he could question them any further, Daniel placed his hand on his shoulder. "You are going to have a little brother or sister soon."

"I—" Andrew widened his eyes in shock and looked at Kate. "Y-You are pregnant?"

Kate smiled while her eyes shimmered with tears. "Six weeks."

"Oh my God—" He hugged Daniel followed by Kate. "I am so happy for you guys."

"Yes and I am so happy for you and Rachael." Kate hugged him back.

"Happy for us? Why?" Andrew asked as he pulled away.

"Because—" Kate stopped midway when Rachael gestured her not to say anything. "Because you and Rachael and you are going to have a brother soon."

"What are we hugging for?" Owen, who was getting super excited despite having zero idea of what was going on.? going on, rushed towards them.

"Kate is pregnant," Daniel proudly answered.

"What?" Owen gave Daniel a hug and patted his back. "Good job uncle."

"Hey—" Kate slapped his arm. "Why is he getting all the appreciation?"

"Not all the appreciation, only once." He pulled away and hugged Kate. "You, my dear aunt, will be appreciated for the rest of your life."

"What is that supposed to mean?" Rachael inquired, not understanding what Owen meant.

"Well, the father plays an important role and gives his best quality soldiers to make the little one. So he has to be appreciated for that," Owen explained. "Whereas a mother nurtures the child in her womb until it is ready to show up in this fucked up world. She plays a more important role in the child's life. This is why mothers are always appreciated."

"That actually makes sense," Andrew remarked. "I think stalking Juliana is really bringing out the best in you."

"Wait, what?" Rachael and Kate widened their eyes in shock.

Owen gave Kate another hug to divert her attention. "I am so happy for you, my lovely aunt. I am so ready to be a 33 years older big brother."

"Thank you."

[Study Room]

After sharing the good news with everyone, Andrew, Daniel and Owen excused themselves to discuss business.

"What are your plans now? Are you and Kate coming with us?" With Kate's unexpected pregnancy, things had changed. They had to keep their initial plans on hold and ensure Kate's safety first.

"I don't want to keep her here." With how heated things were getting, their home was the most unsafe place for Kate and the baby at the moment. He had to take them somewhere safe where he wouldn't have to be constantly worried if someone would harm them.

"Then keep her in the city until you feel it's safe to bring her back," Owen suggested.

"I agree with Owen," Andrew added. "Rachael and Elsa with be there too so things will be easy for Kate."

"Exactly and Andrew has a great ass mansion where we all can easily fit in," Owen grinned.

"Is that okay?" Daniel looked at Andrew. Though he agreed with what they had said, he didn't want to disrupt their lives, especially Andrew's. There was a reason why Andrew left everything and moved to the city. He didn't want to be the one disrupting his plans.

"Of course it's okay." Andrew placed his hand on Daniel's shoulder. "We are family, we need to stick together? no matter what happens."

"Yes—" Owen placed his hand on Daniel's shoulder. "That is one of the many things you have taught us when we were kids, uncle."

"Fuck off." Daniel jerked his hands away from his shoulder. "I am just a year older than you."

"Well—" Owen shrugged his shoulders. "You are still my uncle."

"Alright now, don't fight like kids." Andrew pointed at Owen followed by Daniel. "You are a grown man and you are going to be a father soon."

"I know right?" Owen sighed. "I cannot believe one of us is going to become a father."

"Two of us." When Owen and Andrew looked at him, Daniel quickly said, "I am talking about Justin."

He breathed a sigh of relief when both of them nodded in agreement. If he would have mistakenly disclosed to Andrew about Rachael's pregnancy, Kate would have killed him.

"It's good that all three of you are here." Helen entered the room.

"Hey grams—" Owen looked at his watch and got up. "Oh look at that, I have a meeting."

Before he could get up, Helen stopped him, "Don't try to leave, sit down."

"Damn it—" He cursed.

"Nice try." Daniel patted his shoulder. He then looked at Helen. "What is it mom? When did you come back?"

"I hear some good news is on the way." She ignored his question.
