Offer To The CEO-Chapter 717: A surprise and an angry father - part 2

Wednesday, continued …

Hearing those words filled Yao Tan with dread, but he had to ask, "What is it?"" praying it was not what he was fearing.

With James squeezing her hand Alecia said, "I know the promise we made you and Amanda, but I am coming up three months pregnant."

"Damn it Alecia, I did not need to know that," responded an angry Yao Tan. "You will be having a termination, no arguments as you will be keeping your promise."

"No, it is our decision and I will not be having a termination."

That response immediately fired up Yao Tan. There was no way his first princess was going to become a mother at eighteen. He yelled "No you will not. You are under eighteen and I will immediately authorise a termination and you will have no choice."

Having made her decision Alecia was not going to have a debate with her father. This was her and James' decision, not his. "No way Dad. Yes, this pregnancy was not planned, but ever since we found out we have been considering what we will do. You have no say in that, it is a decision for my husband and I."

"No way young lady, you are not yet eighteen and I have the right to insist that you have a termination."

"I am married, and there is no way that you can do that. You try that and forget about a relationship with us and our family. We have made our decision and that is that." James squeezed Alecia's hand again to send the message to her he would support her no matter what. "Let me put it to you differently, would you have appreciated anyone trying to forge Amanda to have a termination of my two beautiful siblings."𝑓𝘳ℯ𝒆w𝘦𝘣𝙣𝘰ѵ𝘦𝚕.c𝗼𝓶

"No."

"So why expect it of us."

Noticing the determined look in his daughter's face and the obvious joy in James' face with Alecia's decision Yao Tan's opposition crumbled. This was what they wanted, he just hoped it was not going to impact his daughter's career options. Dejectedly he gave a sigh, as it was inevitable that between the two of them, they would delay anything until Alecia turned eighteen and he could do nothing.

Realising that his father-in-law was giving up fighting with them James responded "We will manage. I know you have the creche at XF International, and I suspect that I can have the baby with me at work if necessary. And as I told Alecia, I am happy to be the primary carer for our child so she can study and work if that is what she wants."

Alecia wanted to change the discussion "We can talk about this later. What are my sibling's names?"

"We thought we were having two girls, and was going to name the eldest Che, but we had no boys' names picked out. That is something we are still considering …"

"Dad," yelled Ton and Junior as they came running in.

"So, what are our two sisters like?" asked Junior.

"Boys it is a sister and a brother, and your mother is in with the staff for a few minutes, before you can meet them."

Junior looking at his father knew that there was something else going on. He did not look impressed. "Dad, there is something else, what is it?" He was worried that there was something wrong with either of his new siblings or Amanda.

"Ask your sister," spat out Yao Tan.

"What did you do to make Dad angry Alecia. This should be a happy day, with our new siblings."

James and Alecia looked at each other, and Alecia quietly said "I guess I will have to tell you before I tell mother. I have told dad already." Junior and Ton looked at each other and with the few seconds of silence wondered was there something serious. James nodded at Alecia, who continued "Well you have two new siblings today, and in about six months you will have a niece or a nephew."

Ton stared at Alecia, stunned and all Junior could stutter out was "You are pregnant?"

Alecia nodded, and Junior ran over and gathered Alecia in a hug before saying "Sis that is wonderful.? At least with your baby we can spoil it rotten before we hand it back to you and James to deal with, unlike our siblings."

Before anything else could be said, a nurse stepped out of the room, saying "CEO Yao, you can go in, and your wife is asking for your children to come in as well." With that they all entered the room and started spending time together as a family.

Amanda, hearing the news that Alecia was pregnant, could only shake her head.? Despite the promises that James and Alecia made when they got married, she had expected that Alecia would fall pregnant before their two-year period expired.? Her only worry was they would have two children with a niece or nephew around six months younger than them.? How could she and Tan as grandparents spoil Alecia's baby and not do the same to their own.
