Chapter Forty-Three


The next morning when Serenity woke up she lay there thinking how lucky she really was and how extremely happy she was for the first time that she could ever remember. She got up, took a shower, got dresses, and went downstairs to see if she could help her mom fix breakfast.

When she got to the kitchen, she saw Greta standing at the stove and she walked over and said, “Mom can I help you?”

Greta smiled when she heard Rene and she said, “You can start making the toast, we're having scrambled eggs, bacon, ham and toast and of course lots of coffee.”

When they had breakfast ready, the others came walking in, and the first thing that they said was, “Please can we have some coffee.” Serenity giggled as she put the coffee pot on the table along with the cream and sugar.

When they were through eating, Mokie went over to Rene and asked her, “Can you come outside; I'd like to talk to you about something?”

She smiled at Mokie and his heart fluttered, and she told him, “Alright.” So he took her hand in his and they walked outside.

As they walked out the door, Roland smiled and looked at Greta and he said, “I believe that the love bug has stung our son.”

Greta chuckled and said, “I know and you and the others had better leave them alone.” Roland looked at her and he said, “What do you mean?”

She laughed and then she said, “I know that you, and if I find out that anyone teased either of them, well who ever does they'll have me to contend with.”

Mokie and Serenity held hands as they walked out in the garden and as they came up to the reflection pond, she said, “The last time I was out here with Joey, I was terrified but like he told me that when I was ready that this family would welcome me, and everyone did just that.”

Mokie then put his arm around her and as she stepped closer to him, Mokie gave her a kiss and she returned it back.

As he lifted his head, they were both breathless and he said, “I've fallen in love with you and someday I want to ask you to become my wife.”

Serenity turned and as she looked at directly into his eyes she said, “I'm in love with you too, and when that day comes I'm going to tell you yes.”

Then she laid her head on his shoulder and they just stood there not saying a word, they enjoyed just being together.

Seto and Joey were out by the gazebo talking and when they went back to the house, they accidentally overheard what Mokie and Rene were talking.

Joey turned and looked at Seto and he said, “My baby sister is a beautiful young woman and she couldn't pick a better young man to fall in love with, Mokie will never hurt her, he'll always love her the way that you love me.”

Seto took Joey into his arms and he tenderly kissed him and when Seto lifted his head he said, “I can hardly wait to make you my life mate, then I can take you into my arms and show you exactly how much I love you.”

Joey blushed and said, “I feel the same way, I love you for waiting into we are married, I know how hard it has been for the two of us, but I also know that on our wedding night it'll be worth all the cold showers we've both had to take.”

Mokie and Rene started walking around the garden, they saw Seto and Joey kissing, Rene looked at Mokie, he smiled, and they just kept on walking, as they left, Joey said, “Let’s go inside and leave them alone.”

So they left and went inside and as they walked in, Greta said, “Did you two see Mokie and Rene?” Seto looked at Joey and he said, “No, we were out by the gazebo, we didn't see anyone.”

Greta smiled at them, but she knew that they had probably overheard what Mokie and Rene were talking about, but being that they too were in love, they must of just came inside.

She was so proud of all their kids; she knew that both she and Roland were very blessed to be the parents of such wonderful kids, even if they weren't really theirs.

About an hour later, Mokie and Rene came inside and they went to sit down on the couch to watch the movie that the others were watching.

Roland smiled as he looked at them sitting there holding hands and Greta looked up at him and he winked at her and she knew that he to was proud of them. Greta got up to go make some more popcorn and Rene followed her, when they got to the kitchen, Rene said, “Mom can I talk to you for a minute.”

They sat down at the table and Greta said, “Alright, what is it?” Serenity looked down at her hands and then she looked up and there were tears in her eyes. Greta moved over closer to her and as she put her arm around Rene she said, “Honey what's wrong?”

Serenity then said, “I love Mokie with all my heart and when we were out in the garden he told me that he loved me too and that when we're older he wants me to marry him, but how can I, I'm not a virgin.”

Greta smiled at her and she said, “What happened to you wasn't your fault, you are a beautiful young woman and Mokie loves you for yourself, and if I know him, it won't matter to him one way or any other.” Rene held onto her mom and she said, “Thank you for wanting to be my mom, I love you.”

Greta hugged her and said, “I love you too, and I'll always think of you as my daughter, now how about if we wipe these tears off and go fix those men in there some more popcorn.” Rene giggled and said, “If we don't hurry my brother is going to be eating the bowl.”

They were laughing as they came back with some more popcorn, causing the men to give them weird looks and that only made them laugh all the harder. As Rene went over to sit beside Mokie, Greta sat down beside Roland and she whispered, “I'll tell you later.” He kissed her and they went back watching the movie.

When the movie was over, Matthew stood up, looked at Greta and said, “I hope you don't get mad, but all us men are planning on having a bachelor party for Ro, and Shelly, Lisa and Serenity are planning on giving you a bridal shower.”

Greta looked at Rene who blushed and then Greta said, “I think that it's great, but I have just one request, please don't everyone get so drunk that no one is going to be able to drive home.” Roland chuckled and said, “Don't worry; you know that I don't drink so I won't let anyone drink too much.”

Greta then asked, “When and where is this bachelor party to be at?” Matthew smiled and he said, “I reserved the Purple Dragon for tomorrow afternoon, I've invited all our male friends and some of Seto and Joey's friends too.”

Then Matthew said, “Shelly and Lisa will be here with some of their friends and they've invited Tea and Ishizu to come too, Shelly said that they'd all be here around one tomorrow.”

Greta clapped her hands and said, “I'm going to have a bridal shower.” This caused everyone to burst out laughing, and then Rene said, “You're not mad that we're doing this for you both.”

Both Roland and Greta went over, they hugged Serenity, and Roland said, “This is going to be fun, thanks to all of you for wanting to do this for us.” Then Greta said, “I guess we had all better get some sleep, tomorrow is going to be a big day for all of us.”

When everyone went to their rooms, Roland asked Greta, “What were you and Rene talking about in the kitchen?” She told him what Rene said, tears ran down his face and he kissed her and said, “God blessed us the day he sent you and me to work here, and we've been blessed every day since. I love you lady and will till the day I die.”

She hugged and gave him a kiss and said, “I feel the same as you do and I love you Ro and have since the day I first saw you and I'll love you till the day I die.”

They walked hand in hand to their rooms then he kissed her one more time before she went into her room, he then went to his. They both said prayers that their daughter would know just how much everyone here loves her at home.
