"Mommy!" Kenzie jumped into Rose's arms. The little boy so easily switched from calling Aunt to Mommy. "Kenzie, honey, Aunty misses you," said Rose. She hugged the boy tightly as if she didn't want to let go. "Not Aunt, Mommy! Remember Mommy!" Kenzie confirmed. "Yes, Mommy." Rose was excited to see the tiny lips protesting at him. Kenzie's face looks so cute and handsome looking up at her, Rose couldn't help but to land kisses repeatedly on the boy's cheek and forehead. "Stop it." Kenzie laughed amusedly. "Now it's Daddy's turn to get a kiss." The boy's words took Rose by surprise while Robert, who was by her side, smiled broadly. "I didn't think Kenzie was getting smarter in ten days." Robert approached the two people who were still hugging confidently. "Of course, Sean and his family do the same thing a lot too and it's fun." Kenzie looked at Rose with a probing look. "Come on, Mommy, kiss Daddy please. To be fair." "That's right, Mommy must be fair, already hugging the child must also hug the husband." Jasmine, who saw them from a distance, chortled. Rose's face suddenly turned red. She felt embarrassed in the middle of the Millers who smiled sincerely at her. Their arrival at Jasmine and Conrad's house is to pick up Kenzie, but unexpectedly the entire Miller family gathers. "Mr Michael, Mrs Michelle." Rose nodded respectfully at Robert's parents, ignoring the man who was looking at her expectantly. "Daddy and Mommy, Rose. I'd be offended if you wouldn't think of us as your in-laws, your parents." Michael rebuked Rose. "Y-yes." Michelle, who understood Rose's nervousness, walked over to the woman. She took her daughter-in-law's hand into the garden and let Robert carry her son. "Was Robert nice to you? Is he doing his job as a husband?" Michelle's question confused Rose. "Yeah I guess," said Rose awkwardly. Dealing with an intelligent and calm woman like Michelle, made Rose feel so small. Her style is always elegant and seems to be thinking a step ahead, welcoming Rose with all her flaws with warmth. "I have high hopes for your wedding, Rose. Kenzie and Sean are my grandchildren, but I want to see the child you bear." Michelle's words made Rose widen. 'Doesn't Mrs Michelle remember that her daughter-in-law shouldn't be me but Rosa?' Rose thought in surprise. "But, mrs … Mommy I mean. Our wedding--" "Yeah, perfect!" Michelle quickly cut off Rose's words. "Robert made the right choice out of the many follies in his life." "But I'm just a substitute," Rose sighed softly. She lowered her head looking at her two squeezing hands, "Rosa's replacement and Ruby's," her squeak trembled. Sick! Rose's chest was twitching with pain. The happiness she had promised Ryan on the cruise ship seemed to evaporate with the sea breeze. The Miami mainland and the air smack Rose at the fact that she was just a surrogate bride. "Rose," Michelle called softly. She lifted Rose's chin and looked into the girl's brown eyes. "You love my son, don't you?" Rose was shocked to hear the words spoken by Michelle. Her eyes were perfectly rounded, not expecting Michelle to ask that. However, what she couldn't control was the loud pounding in her heart. "No. Robert and I are just . . . partners," said Rose quickly. "Hahaha," Michelle laughed loudly, surprising the rest of the family, especially Rose. "What makes you happy, my wife? Any good news?" Michael sat opposite Rose and Michelle. "You know, I almost forgot what it was like to first fall in love with you, but our kids reminded." Michelle cupped Rose's cheeks gently. "You'll learn a lot, Rose. In a year you'll have to give me a grandson and after that we'll raise you to be a Miller." Michelle's words were clear. "But, Mom--" Rose was confused by the pressure. She looked the other way for Robert hoping he could explain their situation to Michelle. However, what she found was a gentle yet sharp gaze from Robert. The look in his eyes showed that he was on Michelle's side. "What if--" "No ifs, Rose!" Michelle cut off Rose's words. "Never think about IF, because that word can give off negative energy." Rose's lips were locked with hers, education, knowledge, even experience deep beneath Michelle's, leaving her unable to find other words to deny or defend herself. Even in the corner of her heart, Rose didn't want to argue. "Kenzie wants a sister? It's fun now, not only Sean who wants to have a sister." Kenzie walked quickly to Rose and knelt down in front of her. The boy put his ear to Rose's stomach. "Little brother is growing up healthy and coming out fast, if you can get ahead of his younger brother Sean." The boy's words made everyone smile widely. "How can your sister go out first, my sister first!" shouted Sean not wanting to lose. "Mine first, right Mom?" Kenzie's hopeful gaze made Rose touch. "Honey, there's no baby in Mommy's tummy." "There is not any?" A smile evaporated on Kenzie's face. "Then when?" A question that Rose could never answer. Robert, who saw how desperate Rose was, initially intended to leave the woman confused and finally forced to promise. However, that motherly innocent face made her conscience stir. Robert stepped up to them, appearing as a hero. "Soon, Kenzie. Daddy promised to give you a sister." "Is that true?" Kenzie firmly Robert questioned the truth of the man's words. "A real man never lies." Robert sat beside Rose, urging her to come closer to him. He wrapped his arms around Rose's waist and stroked her flat stomach. "Fun, thanks Mom and Dad. Sean, I will have a brother even if I lose to you!" Kenzie exclaimed happily. "Why did you cheat on a child," Rose whispered in disgust. "I'm not lying, because that's what I wanted to do. Give Kenzie a sister and it's your job to hold my seed," Robert replied calmly. Michelle heard Robert's loud whispers making the woman laugh loudly and happily. She winked at Michael then invited the whole family to leave, leaving the newlyweds alone in the park. "Enough, stop your acting, they're gone." Rose straightened her back, but Robert quickly pulled her back until she fell back on his chest. "Don't you want to have children with me, Rose?" Robert pulled the woman's chin so it was pointed at him. "Stop flirting, Robert," said Rose, quivering. "I'm not seducing you, Rose." A soft kiss landed on Rose's lips again, she couldn't help it.
