It'll Come Naturally

"What about Tiana? She is your sister, born of your mother?" asked Sanford. This fact was a great shock to him.

"Haven't you known all this ever since? Why would you ask again?" Although Rain knew he was adept in coping with new problems and unique challenges, he still was sad whenever something like this happened.

"Why didn't you tell me this before? I would have done things differently had I known," answered Sanford sadly. He was a pitiful sight. Sanford was a failure all his life. He never admitted this, since he was too much of a coward. He'd rather blame it all on other people and consider himself a victim.

"Do you really think that would have changed anything? Forget it. I won't mention anything about the past anymore. Don't even utter a word about the Ke Family anymore. I refuse to hear it. Goodbye!" Rain abruptly stood up, visibly annoyed. He felt it was too suffocating to talk to Sanford. He then turned around and walked out the door. If he remained even a minute longer, he would have lost his temper.

Sanford suddenly clutched his stomach and took deep breaths. He winced in pain and felt lightheaded.

"Sir! Are you okay? Where's your medicine? Just take your medicine and stop stressing yourself out." Lawrence hurried by his master's side to assist him. He wondered when would the time come when his master could clear up those misunderstandings with Rain. "I'm fine, Lawrence. God, I must have done something terrible in my past life for being punished like this." Sanford took off his thick prescription glasses and rubbed his eyes.

"Mr. Ke, one day Rain will see the truth and understand you. I'm sure of it." He sighed deeply knowing that he had no idea what to make of the relationship between his master and Rain.

"I hope so. Let's go." Their old house had been sold by his sons. Luckily, Sanford secretly bought a villa a few years ago. If he hadn't, he would be homeless now.

"Don't worry, Sir. Everything will be okay." Lawrence said as he assisted his master by holding his arm. They walked out of the coffee shop painfully slow, their hearts heavy.

When people first met, they argured and fought. When all was said and done, and they had lost everything, they soon found that all their quarrels were meaningless.

The sun's rays cast its light onto the concrete pavements of the city. It felt comfortable and warm when you walked leisurely around the city. Rain could sense the unbreakable wall that prevented any understanding between him and his father. It was a wall of his making, an impenetrable wall to shield his heart from any further pain. If he wanted, he could break the wall down and repair the relationship, but he hated his father too much.

He looked at the countless couples walking down the street. They all seemed happy together and were no doubt expecting a good life ahead. A small smile formed on the corners of his mouth. He went through a lot. He knew what a miserable life would do to him and his family. All his life, he was busy fighting enemies and his destiny, all for a bright future.

He sat down on the nearby bench under rustling trees. A gentle breeze blew past him, cooling his cheeks. He started to recall his childhood. It was a nightmare, but look at him now. It all went okay. He silently thanked God for His mercy. Despite all the hardships he went through, he had a relatively happy life, a kind wife and lovely children. He wouldn't dare ask for more from God. Living a life with his wife was more than he had ever asked for. He wasn't a greedy person, but he would do anything to shield his family.

Weeks passed by as Rain and his family lived on. Their life was calm and peaceful. However, some unknown and wicker forces were about to threaten their happy life.

"Edward, can you explain to me what the hell is happening?" It was in the wee hours of the morning as Daisy pulled Edward's quilt and threw a pregnancy test at him.

"Wait, what?" Edward asked groggily. His eyes were still adjusting to the light as he rubbed them. "What's wrong, dear? Tell me what it is and I'll fix it," answered Edward, eyes half closed. He was awakened by Daisy's shouting so early in the morning. He knew he had to deal with this. He yawned, and got out of bed swiftly. He walked towards Daisy and tried to comfort her. "Didn't you see it? Look at it real carefully and tell me how did this happen." Daisy was furious and rolled her eyes, to the point that her whites were all Edward could see. She needed an answer from her husband.

"Honey, wait!" He stretched his arms and shoulders, not knowing what riled up his wife so early in the morning.

"Tell me what you did," shouted Daisy. In one smooth movement, Daisy closed the distance and grabbed Edward by the collar and glared at him.

"Nothing! I did nothing! What did you expect?" asked Edward, with a mischievous smile on his face. He nodded at his wife passionately.

"Behave yourself. I am very serious right now," replied Daisy in a grim tone. The pregnancy test answered her question why her menstruation was delayed for two weeks now.

"Dear, you know I'm telling the truth. Please trust me. What do you mean? Please don't be angry anymore." Edward pursed his lips and felt wronged. He had a rough couple of days. He had been trying really hard for their second baby.

"Tell me what happened." Daisy bent down and picked up the pregnancy test. She showed it to her husband. She was glaring furiously.

"What's this?" asked Edward innocently. One part of the pregnancy test stick showed two lines. He wasn't Tom who was an excellent doctor. So he was naturally confused.

"It's a pregnancy test, you jerk!" Daisy shouted. Her eyes welled up. She thought Edward was playing dumb.

"Pregnancy test?" Edward looked even more confused. Then, it hit him. He felt a surge of excitement and asked loudly, "Are you pregnant?"

"Edward, did you do this on purpose?" Daisy bit her lips as she desperately held her tears back, to no avail. Tears streamed down her face. How could she get pregnant at such a crucial time? A military exercise was fast approaching and she needed to be there.

"Honey, why are you crying?" All throughout their marriage, Daisy had always been the tough one. He couldn't stand seeing his wife cry. It always came as a shock to him to see his soldier wife crying so helplessly. He panicked and thought whether he had overdone it or not. If he told her that he really wanted another child right now, Daisy would absolutely refuse him. So he had to take that chance. Unexpectedly, Daisy cried.00
