Lucas's POV
It was mom calling.
I picked up her call when she started with her rambling.
"Oh my god, Lucas. There is so much to do. We have to get gifts for Andrea and the baby. We don't even have a nursery made for the baby. I am immediately hiring someone to make one in your house. And clothes, I am going to spoil my first grandson. And toys and strollers. There is so much to do and buy and so little time left. And-"
"Mom, mom, calm down. We will get everything done in time. Do not panic."
"I'm going to the Mathews and then me, your dad, your brother and sister and the Mathews are flying to Goa as soon as possible."
I winced hearing this. Andrea gestured asking what happened.
"Umm, the Mathews were quite rude when we talked." Andrea stiffened at this so I rubbed her shoulders.
"I don't think Andrea should be stressed at all now, we can talk later when we arrive in the USA."
"As you wish, but I am booking 4 tickets to India for us and I'm going to talk with the Mathews. No one is going to say a word against my daughter." And then she hung up without a goodbye.
Andrea then asked in a meek voice, "What if they never forgive me?"
I cupped her face between my hands and told her, "Look, right now they are angry at you. But they love you and once they find out the whole truth, they aren't going to stay mad at you for long."
"Aren't you even a little mad at me?"
"At first I was very angry, but then I looked at the situation from your shoes. You were just trying to do what you thought was right. The start of our marriage was not a nice one, and we both made many mistakes, starting with me when I usurped all your dad's properties. But Andrea we are bringing a baby into this world, a new life, and I want to give our relationship a new start as well."
"Thank you, thank you so much." She leaned forward and kissed me on the lips.
My phone rang again. It was a video call from her brother. She immediately moved out of the camera's view before I picked up the phone.
"Hey Lucas, is Andrea there with you, I don't know whether she has the same number or not."
Andrea hesitantly sat beside me and said hello.
"Damn shit, Dad was not lying, you are pregnant, you shouldn't have done that Andrea, the baby was not only yours to decide this."
"I am sorry, so sorry. I was just trying to not hurt him anymore."
"Aaron, if you are just going to criticise her, I am hanging up." I threatened.
"No no, I didn't call for that. Andrea, I have not yet forgiven you, but I am not that cruel to damper your happiness and stress you when you are just about to give birth. I am going to be an uncle and I want to be a part of it. Look, I already love my unborn nephew and.... despite everything I love you, sis, even though I am mad at you. So we are going to take a flight to India, I don't think you can travel now. Mom and Dad will come too, they were so worried all these months, they are angry but I'll persuade them to be civil till you talk it out. I think you calling out of the blue after so many months gone made their pressure cookers burst."
