"Auntie Ayanna!" Yoyo screamed as he ran to his aunt. He nimbly climbed up the couch on his own and hugged her by the waist.

Ayanna giggled as Tristan tried to copy Yoyo but failed as he almost fell on his back.

A nanny quickly ran after Tristan, helping him up on the couch.

"Yoyo, be gentle with your auntie!" Emilio Reyes warned his grandson as he got up from behind his desk and walked over to the two boys and his daughter.

"Where are your moms?" Ayanna asked as she ignored her father and placed both boys on her lap.

"Ayanna!" Emilio Reyes scolded his pregnant daughter.

"Don't worry dad." Ayanna said with a laugh. "I'm fine, don't be so overprotective. Relax, don't worry."

"I can't help but worry, Ayanna. Your mother never had easy pregnancies, I don't want you to experience the same thing." Emilio said with a frown as he looked at his daughter and the children.

"Auntie Ayanna is pregnant?!" Yoyo asked as he looked at his grandfather and aunt.

"Pre- preg!" Tristan said as he tried to imitate what the older child had said.

"Yoyo, do you know what pregnant means?" Ayanna asked her nephew. She didn't want to risk the little boy saying something to her brother or husband before she was ready.

"Yes, my teacher said it means auntie will have a baby!" Yoyo said excitedly as he began to bounce up and down on Ayanna's lap.

In a panic, Emilio Reyes quickly swooped in and carried both boys off of Ayanna's lap, quickly handing one to the nanny.

"Thanks dad." Ayanna said with a weak smile, she had gotten worried that the boys would get too rough and it may result in complications.

"See, my worrying comes in handy." Emilio Reyes said with a smile.

Ayanna looked at the nanny and gave her a sweet smile too. She knew that her brother's people were extremely loyal to him and she would need to plead for this one not to spill her secret.

"Please don't tell my brother or my sister-in-law." Ayanna told the nanny.

"With all due respect Miss Ayanna, it's not my secret to tell. My lips are sealed." The nanny said with a smile as she adjusted a fidgety Tristan in her arms. "I think your bigger problem is getting the little master to keep quiet."

"Will I have a new friend? A cousin?" Yoyo asked his grandfather as he raised his arms in the air.

"Calm down, little one." Emilio Reyes said with a laugh as he hugged him tightly. "It has to be a secret Yoyo. Do you know what a secret is?"

"Yes grandpa." Yoyo said as he nodded his little head.

"Auntie Ayanna having a baby is a secret." Emilio told the little child.

"So I can't tell my mom or my dad?" Yoyo asked.

"No Yoyo, you can't tell them." Ayanna said as she shook her head.

"What about uncle Ray Ray?" Yoyo asked in his cute little voice.

"Yoyo, let's keep this secret between you, me, and your auntie Ayana, alright?" Emilio Reyes asked his grandson.

"And Tristan!" Yoyo added. "And nanny!" He said, pointing at his nanny as if it were a game.

"Yes. And you have to make sure that Tristan doesn't tell anyone. Alright?" Ayanna asked.

"Tristan doesn't tell anyone what?" Adrianna asked as she and Nicole entered the room.

Ayanna jumped in surprise as she heard her sister-in-law and friend enter the room.

"Did you give the boys chocolates before dinner again, Ayanna?" Nicole complained as she took her son from the nanny.

"Nicole, maybe you shouldn't be carrying Tristan, he is quite heavy." Ayanna said with a frown.

"I knew it, you stuffed their pockets with candies again, didn't you!" Nicole accused with a laugh as she checked her son's pockets and victoriously pulled out a candy.

Ayanna was surprised and glanced at the nanny who simply shrugged. She smiled and nodded, taking it as a sign that the nanny had slipped it into Tristan's pockets to help Ayanna keep her secret.

"Ayanna, you know that it's bad for the kids to have candies or chocolates before meals." Adrianna complained as she walked over to Yoyo and her father-in-law. "I swear I wonder how you will be as a mother sometimes."

"Auntie Ayanna will be an amazing mommy!" Yoyo said excitedly, making Ayanna worry a little.

"I think Yoyo wants a cousin." Nicole said with a laugh. "You should get on it Ayanna."

"Nicole!" Ayanna scolded. "My dad is here!"

"I'm sure uncle wants more grandkids too." Nicole said as she rolled her eyes.

"Ayanna can have kids when she is ready, no need to rush her." Emilio said with a smile as he looked at his daughter.

Ayanna nodded and mouthed a thank you. She and Ray had been trying for a year now and it wasn't just her side that wanted her to get pregnant, Ray's family was anxiously waiting for an heir as well.

"I'm guessing the two of you are still busy, we'll take the boys." Adrianna said as she reached over to carry Yoyo.

"I can walk mommy." Yoyo said as he squirmed from his grandfather's arms and landed on his feet.

"Such a big boy." Emilio Reyes said as he patted his grandson on the head.

"Do you have any updates on the boys?" Nicole asked Ayanna with a worried look on her face.

"No." Ayanna said as she shook her head. "I'll tell you if they call. Right now, I think we should just let them do their thing. I'm sure they will call soon with an update."

Nicole nodded and left with Adrianna, the boys, and the nanny.

Ayanna understood Nicole's concern, her boyfriend and brother were both in enemy territory. Add to that the fact that they seemed to gain a new unknown enemy, it was very unnerving.

"Cedric should call soon." Emilio told his daughter as he went back to take a seat behind Cedric's office table. "Your uncles said the boys have new information, and he knows you don't like being kept in the dark."

Ayanna smiled at her father.

"Right now, I should really focus on the Reyes Group." Ayanna told him as she resumed working on her laptop.
