Chapter 29

Clary frowned and then smiled. "Uncle Drew should know" he said to himself. He then turned to Drew. "Uncle Drew, where is the baby's cheek?"
Drew knew the question was coming to him. He knew not giving him an answer will so much disappoint him so he cooked up something.
"Well the baby moves around in the belly. Well I think it should be around that side" he pointed to Melissa's left side.
The boy didn't even waste a second before placing kiss on the side pointed to before the baby will move again as he thought. Then he placed his head on the stomach and patted it gently.
They watched as he vehemently patted the big stomach. He was so attracted and attached to it.
Melissa knew he wasn't ready to leave so he picked him up and placed him on her laps so that he would be comfortable and do well in his patting business which he did until he fell asleep.
"What a boy" Tyndall said as ahe noticed he was asleep.
Somaria came to join them later that evening. She met Clary at the compound playing and questioning the new nanny who was employed by Melissa to help nurse her coming baby. Being an old woman, she was enjoying the boy's company.
"Clary has disturbed the life out of Nanny Kurt" she said as she walked in.
"I had to push him to her" Melissa replied.
"Why?"
"He won't let my tommy be. He's so engrossed with it".
"Don't blame the poor boy. I get intrigued when I see it too. The boy might not have seen such huge tommy before" she mocked.
"And what are you insinuating" she asked firmly hiding her smiles.
"That your tommy is too big" she said laughing.
"You must be silly" she threw the hand towel she held at her.
Somaria laughed. "Hi Drew" she turned to Drew.
"Hi" he replied.
"Say the truth. Ain't you always scared of that tommy?" She asked laughing.
Drew touched his jaw as if to think about it. "Sometimes" he replied with a feign serious look.
"Drew!" Melissa called.
"But my doctor instinct is always telling me that all is well" he added.
"Don't mind them Big sis" Tyndall said laughing.
"Seriously Melly, how come your stomach is this huge?" Somaria asked.
"How am I to know that?" She eyed her.
"And no one should ask me any question because I ain't gonna answer" Drew said smiling.
"Why? Ain't you a doctor anymore? C'mon don't be lazy at your duty" she joked.
"My duty is not to answer silly questions" he said.
"C'mon my questions ain't silly" sh e said with a stubborn look.
"If you don't stop questioning me, you will end up with Clary beside Nanny Kurt" Melissa warned.
"With a bar of chocolate" Tyndall added.
Somaria raised her hands. "I won't say a thing again" she said closing her eyes and shaking her head.
They looked at her with mockery.
"So how you been Drew?" She asked after she finished her display.
"Good and you?"
"Relieved" she replied with a hug sigh.
They gave her a questioning look. Even Tyndall wasn't sure she understood her because she can be so dramatic at times.
"Relieved?" Melissa asked.
"Yeah so relieved" she replied smiling.
"And what brought about that?" She asked.
"I need a drink. I'll be right back" she said and ran off before they could speak another word to her.
She came back with a cold glass of juice, sat down and then a full gulp of her drink and sighed. She took another sighed and then smiled because they were concentrated on her.
Drew looked at Tyndall. "Are you sure she is okay?" Tyndall gave a shrugs for a reply.
"Juan and I broke up" she announced.
"At last. I've been waiting for that news" Melissa breathes out.
"Never knew you would last that long" Drew said at the same time.
The only person she was expecting not to be surprised is Tyndall but it seems everyone was expecting it. She gave a surprised look even Tyndall wasn't left out.
"What!" She scoffed.
"You two were not having a relationship" Melissa said.
"It is called hangout" Drew completed.
"So you two knew" she asked still surprised.
She didn't know that their relationship was that transparent that everyone could see through except them.
"I knew since the first day I saw you two together" Drew boasted.
"Wow!" Tyndall said.
She didn't know she had master of seeing.
"Melly you knew and you couldn't stop me from going into a relationship with him?" She said.
"I got to find out when I was boasting to Drew about your relationship. At first I thought he was intentionally saying it to annoy me but he calmly explain things to me and that's how I got to notice the truth" she explained.
Somaria was not happy becaua she is the onlmone not smart enough to know.
"At least you should have told me" she said with a sad look.
"No it is better and safe to figure it our yourself" Drew replied.
"Well thanks to Tin who helped me out" she said with a triumphant grin.
"Is that why you are this happy?" Melissa mocked.
"You don't know the feeling of being bond by what you don't feel. I feel super free" she raised her hands, spreading it wide and exhaling to demonstrate her feeling.
"How's Juan?" Melissa asked with concern.
"Feeling guilty but very fine" she replied sipping her drink.
"Be happy. I know I will be the one to face the consequence of your breakup" Tyndall grumbled but it was clear enough for everyone to hear her.
