My Wife is a Sassy Queen

Liam finished his narrative and went close to Kyle.

He knelt beside his half-brother and said, “Kyle, you are my brother by blood. But in my heart, you have always been my son.”

“I will do anything and everything for you. Not because I feel obligated or you were a responsibility thrust onto me, or because my mother ruined your mother’s life. But because I love you from the bottom of my heart. If anything happens to you, I will lose my mind.”

“What happened to previous generations is their karma and their lives. What we do defines our life and our karma.”

“You are my son and will remain so until you return to P City Military as the Colonel. Until then, you mustn’t tell anyone about it.”

“I never told you about your mother because I have immense respect and compassion for her. I did not want to lie to you or gloss over her story. I wanted to tell you when you are older, so you can appreciate her sacrifices.”

“Nevertheless, you will always be my son and my highest priority. I love you so much. I want you to grow up happy and healthy.”

Kyle nodded his head repeatedly and hugged his father.

Li asked, “Uncle Liam, did you marry aunty Mer to stop your superiors from investigating you?”

Mariana replied for him, “Yeah! That was one of the reasons. It was also about my reputation. My mother had fainted.”

Liliana added, “It was my suggestion for them to have kids so Kyle can have more people at home. Besides, Liam should have offspring as well.”

Jacob nodded, “Everything worked out very well for us. Unusual and awkward at times, but worked out for us all.”

Kyle asked, “Mommy!”

Mariana replied, “Yeah, honey. You remember when I divorced Liam, I told you to continue calling me – Mommy! Remember your words!”

Kyle smiled, “Will you get married again?”

James answered, “Yeah, Mer and I will get married maybe a year later. However, that does not change your relationship with her.”

Jonathan decided to help his friend, “After you guys came home, you started calling me Daddy Nathan, right? My addition to the family did not change your equation with your mommy or triplets, right? That’s the same.”

Jacob added, “Besides, Military marriage doesn’t permit gay marriage. Liam and I can never have a Military marriage. We never expected it. It’s already very fortunate that we can be ourselves with our large group of friends.”

Slowly the adults pacified the kids, and they shifted the conversation.

Kyle took a few days to process and accept everything. Li went to live with Kyle to help him through it.

This brotherhood between Kyle Brown-Preston and Nathaniel Petrova Smith, in another two decades, would perform legendary feats – knitting the Petrova family closely with the P City Military.

Jo and two younger boys would handle the non-profits and business aspects of the family.

But Leonardo would guide Li for more sterner stuff.

The Petrovas only ever had one heir.

Traditions are there for a reason!
