Andromeda watches Yves's men as they become chaotic, her eyes are fierce and burning in anger. It's not just that, they are ruining nature. She stared at them and glanced at Fin. They need to at least restore the jungle after they leave and get rid of these people.

"You know that Yves is hardheaded." Fin said and glanced at her.

​​

"Let's at least do something about this. Maybe step by step will do." Andy told and watched Yves leave quickly. "Yeah, maybe without Yves around, everything might be better. Let's keep him busy out of the country and maybe restore it a bit. Plants in the jungle grow faster than we thought, and we should remove their markings." She muttered with a sigh. "Maybe change them might lead them to something more." She thought deeper.

"We will wait until Yves leaves the jungle. I am sure that he won't last long."

"Yes. We will do that." Fin agreed.

"Let's go back to the treehouse. We need to plan on renovating the jungle. In that way, once they grow as days pass by, they would probably forget a few of it."

"They will still notice it," Moira told. "If we move something…" Then she thought deep. "Fin, since you are communicating with animals you can ask the bears, right?" Moira smiled at him in a very sinister way.

Fin shuddered and nodded at Moira.

"We can do that."

Ellen worked on the plating while Selina is making sure that everything is organized. They are having fun preparing dinner. Since it will be Mondragon Families with the addition of Pattinsons, they prepare much for the dinner. Soon while they are still preparing, Angela Pattinson, Ellen's mother arrived with her recipe.

Aaron watched his wife laughing as they talked about whatever it was. Since Fiona is close to Angela, his best friend's wife, Rafael Pattinson, it's a good scenario to watch. Their usual doing. They joked and talked about new funding.

"I never seen you smile like this just by watching your wife. It's been years." Rafael noted. Aaron laughed and nodded.

"My wife looks blooming and happy. That makes me happy."

"Well, you are so in love with her like the first time." Rafael winks.

Fiona settled the table and then, Natalie's grandfather and cousin arrived. She greeted them well and treated them well. She then entertained them.

"I am wondering what the news is all about," Fiona muttered although she knew what it was. "I am going to throw a big party if I guessed right."

The old man laughed and nodded.

"I am excited about the announcement as well." Grandpa Valez said. Alex Mondragon arrived and joined the conversation.

"If this is a baby shower, I might've already bought dozens of clothes for the upcoming heir or heiress." Alex Mondragon said. Grandpa Valez laughed and nodded at him.

"I agreed with you, Pops."

Grandpa Mondragon laughed from the code name that Grandpa Valez gave. They are now calling each other Pops since it's fun to know that they are already old. Soon enough, Grandpa Pattinson joined them from his wheelchair.

"I also can't wait for one of my grandsons to have kids. I don't mind if they couldn't get married yet." Grandpa Pattinson said in a little hoarse voice. "Zach is too slow to move." He looked at Zachary who just arrived and looked so tired. "See, I am sure that he can't last in bed with that look. He's so young yet he looked so haggard."

"Grandpops!" Zachary greeted them and frowned at his grandfather. "Andro isn't in the country so stop bugging me, please Grandpa." He pleaded. Grandpa Pattinson waved off.

"Just work it out, Zachary!" Grandpa Mondragon said aloud that the old men laughed and the others followed.

Zach rolled his eyes and glanced at Steven who was sulking on the other corner. He moved toward him and patted his head.

"Poor human, what the fuck happened to you?" He fixed his hair. "You need to at least look decent for this party."

"You also looked like a zombie so don't blame me if I look like this. This is the woman's fault." He muttered in a faint voice.

Zach sighed and rolled his eyes. Then he smacked the back of his head.

"You are so stupid. It's not their fault that they keep messing in your heart. You are just smitten to whoever woman you are dating." Zach started lecturing Steven.

"He's half correct and half wrong," Stanley said and reached Zach's head. "Woman can mess up in your head. They are evil."

Zach scoffed and nudged him.

"You are correct. So do not ever provoke a woman… they are different in their way… besides, I already have mine. We are good and the two of you need a lecture from them. You need to eat more and work out. You are getting fat." He smacked Steven's chest and Steven looked down on his body and stood.

"Freya can't see me like this." He stepped forward already leaving but Stanley pulled him and told him to do it tomorrow.

Stanley turned to his twin brother and fixed his hair and then tapped his cheeks so it would blush. Then he smiled and then messed his hair again.

"You are such a bad boy now. Don't worry, I'll give you more girls."

"No. I want Freya…" he said and looked at his twin in a very sad way. Then he sighed and nodded and bowed his head.

Stanley hated that his brother looked so lifeless because of a woman. Damn those women! He had been bewitched and then scammed. Damn those women! But anyway, the past is past, but he can't help but overthink something.

He doesn't want his brother to experience the same thing. They fall in love and got scammed and then had this heartbreak.

James and Natalie arrived at the mansion, holding each other's hands. They smiled at them and James greeted everyone without a handshake. Although it's part of the family dinner to have physical contact, James limits himself since the COVID 19 isn't over yet. He just wants to make sure of his wife's safety and his baby.

"Thank you for coming, let's proceed to the dining hall," James said formally and then reached his mom and kissed her forehead.

"I prepared everything, and it was according to your wife's taste."

"Thank you, mom." Natalie smiled at her and then she suddenly felt so hungry when she smelled those famishing foods. "I am totally hungry."

"Good. Because we prepared so much for you and that big news, I am hoping that it will be something that we could celebrate." Fiona winked.

Natalie bit her lower lip and looked up at her husband lovingly.

Once everyone settled to their seats, James stood and lifted the wine glass.

"My dear family, friends and in-laws, I don't want to have any fancy introduction. So, I would like to announce that Natalie and I are going to be parents." James said as he held Natalie's hand.

Everyone started congratulating and they even clapped their hands. Selina couldn't be happier that another baby is coming up.

"I am so happy that great-grandchildren are coming up." Alex Mondragon said aloud, and they laughed. Then he glanced at Grandpa Pattinson and sneered. "You lose to me twice now, old man."

"Damn it." Grandpa Pattinson muttered. They all laughed, and Natalie tears up a little from laughing. "I will have more grandchildren than you, Old Mondragon!" Grandpa Pattinson dared. Grandpa Mondragon shook his head and glanced at Steven and Stanley.

"I have twins here and in our blood, we can have triplets or maybe more in one go." Grandpa Mondragon winked.

They laughed and James looked at her stomach. Well, if it's twins then he's a lucky bastard. James kissed her cheek and they sat down to start the feast.

Andel went to the hospital first and the doctor ran a few tests to check if he got infected by the viral virus this year. When it said that he's healthy, he left immediately and went to the ring maker. Since he already has the sketch of the ring. He gave the little stones and he left for his unit.

He thought at first that Ellen is there waiting for him but unfortunately, she's at Selina's. He took a long shower first and then he lies in bed to sleep. He immediately drifted to sleep.

He's already in a beautiful dream when he suddenly wakes up and when he opens his eyes, a beautiful pair of eyes meet him. She smiled at him beautifully and she snuggled to him.

"My big bear."

"Hmm." Andel hugged her tightly. Andel rolled over the bed and kissed Ellen to her forehead and then neck. Since he's used to sleeping naked, he only parted her legs and reached the lubricant bottle. Then he ripped her panties and after massaging it to his shaft he quickly slid inside her.

"Ohhh…. Andel…" She moaned and wrapped her arms around him. "I miss you…"
