(5pm)
Ellie and little Ethan couldn’t keep up their smile as they watched Harry and Jemmy staring hard at Marcel with their mouth wide open in surprise.
Marcel smiled widely.
“Are you sure this is Ethan Baker?
Harry asked Lauren.
“Yes, he is…
Lauren who crossed her legs and rested her head on her palm, said.
“That’s Ethan Baker in the bone and flesh”
“This is impossible…
I think we are hallucinating,
Jemmy said and walked to him slowly. She pressed his tummy with her middle finger.
“Really? Jemmy
Marcel smile.
“Am real guys… C’mon, do you think am going to die just like that?”
Marcel asked.
“Alright, if you are real, then answer my question to prove yourself”
Harry replied.
“Yeah…
Okay,,, am ready”
“What secrets do I have?
Harry asked.
Marcel smile.
“C’mon Harry… You won’t want everyone to know”
“I want to cos I don’t think you know it”
Harry replied.
“Alright then…
Do you mean the secrets about how you have feelings for Ellie but because of her pride you suddenly dislike her?”
Marcel said.
“Wait, what?
Ellie was surprised.
“C’mon, you don’t have to say it that loud.
Is it you?
“Yes, I am…
Or do you want me to prove it to you again?”
“Yes…
What’s your other secret that only you and I knew about?
Harry asked.
Everyone listens with some much attention.
“So we are sharing secrets now?”
“Yeah… Didn’t you know to prove yourself?”
Harry asked.
“This is fun”
Ellie smile.
“Alright… The other secret you say?
Marcel asked.
“Yes…
“Okay… I stole Lauren’s makeup kit to give to Hannah the first day I worked at Linde Plc”
Marcel said.
Everyone burst into laughter.
“Oh gosh, I didn’t even realize it was missing”
Lauren said.
“It’s you”
Harry rushed to hug him.
“Come here, Jemmy”
Marcel gestures to her to come over. He hugged them both.
Jemmy looked at his face.
But how?”
“Long story…
And am going to explain every part of it”

~(Luke’s residence)~
Mr George drops the file on the table.
“This is Marcel’s file”
Luke said as he picked it up.
“Yes…
Marcel is a man with no family. No father, no mother… Just himself who has been hiding in isolation”
He is a thr_@t to our plan and only he knows the reasons he is protecting Lauren’s family”
“Do you think ki||ing him is possible?
Cos the way he acted and the way he saved Lauren’s child shows he is going to be a hard nut to crack”
” Yeah .. he is a tough man but every man has a weakness”
Mr George replied and smiled.
“Alright, Dad…
Anything to stop him”
He said and stared at Marcel’s picture again.
“But isn’t his father familiar?”
“Maybe… But who cares…
Just get ready”
Mr George stood up and patted his back.
Relay my messages to the rest once they are back”
“Yes, Dad…
Luke replied as his dad walked out. He heave a sigh of relief.

(Back at Lauren’s home)
(7pm)
“Wow… Can’t believe you pass through that.
Am sorry about everything”
Harry said.
“It’s okay…
Am here now and am happy to see you all”
Marcel replied.
“I thought we lost you…
Jemmy said.
“I thought Mr George won but I was wrong… Their victory is just for a moment”
Marcel chuckles.
“Yeah…
So let’s forget about me”…
Am surprised you both are now together”
“Hell, no… We can talk about it some other day”
Harry waved it off.
“Okay then”
Marcel nodded.
“So, who is hungry??
Dinner for everyone”
Lauren said.
~ At the diner table ~
“So, can everyone spend the time here?
You know, a night together”
Lauren suggested.
“Yeeeyyy
Little Ethan shouted happily.
Everyone looks at each other.
“Huhm, Harry and I have some things to do at home”
Jemmy said.
“Right? Harry”
She tapped him.
“Yes yes… We have some things to work on”
Harry replied.
“What things are you guys working on?
Ellie asked.
“I think it’s private between us”
Jemmy hugged Harry’s hand.
“Okay then…
Ellie replied.
“I also will be on my way soon…
Marcel said.
“Why Dad?
You can just stay with us”
Ethan asked with a sad face.
“Am sorry…
But I will be back tomorrow, I just moved in, so I have to settle into my new apartment”
“So can I come with you?
I would like to spend the night at your new place”
“No,
You have to go early to school tomorrow, but you can come with your mom when she is visiting”
Marcel replied.
“Don’t worry… Ethan
You are going to see him again, tomorrow”
Lauren consoles him.
They continue eating.
Lauren stood up.
“I think I need to get more juice”
She carried the glass jug and walked to the kitchen.
“Excuse me, guys…
Marcel stood up also and followed her.
*******
“Are you angry am not staying over?”
Marcel asked with folded arms behind her.
Lauren sighed poured some juice into the jug and returned the rest into the refrigerator.
“No, am not… I understand you need some time alone
To relax your mind and be yourself”
Marcel smiled and pulled her to himself.
*When I finally settled down.
You and my son are going to be living with me… I want to wake up every day and see you beside me from now on.
Have missed you so much for six years and now I want to be seeing you every single day”
Lauren smile.
“Have also missed you and your sweet words”
And I can’t wait for all that to happen”
She replied as she wrapped her hands around his neck.
“I heard about your anemia condition”
“Relax, doctor James said I will be fine…
I will be okay, all am worried about is your asthma condition”
“Really? Marcel
Lauren smile.
Okay, just like to say, I will also be fine”
“Hell, no… That’s a lie.
Seriously, how are you coping?
“Have been coping well… I mean it only came off guard twice”
I think my condition isn’t that critical and life-thr_@tening but yours is what we need to look after”
“I will be fine, Lauren.
” No, you can’t… I mean anemia is a dead disease. Most people don’t seem to survive it”
Marcel held her face.
“Lauren, you need to relax…
Doctor James has it under control”
He calms her down.
Lauren looked at him with a worried face. Marcel smiled and hugged her, kissing her on the forehead.
“No, I want it right here”
She pointed at her lips.
“Gosh, you never change”
Marcel smiled and was about to kiss her when Little Ethan walked into the kitchen.
” Mom, Dad…
Everyone is waiting for the juice”
Lauren sighs.
“Alright, we are coming…
“Am sorry did I interrupt something?
Ethan asked.
“Ethan…
Please you can go back to the living room now”
Marcel replied.
“Okay Dad, fine. I will go”
He said and walked out.
Marcel smiled and gave Lauren a slight kiss on the cheek.
“C’mon… Let’s get back to the diner table”
He smiled and carried the jug of juice.

” What took you guys so long?”
Ellie asked.
“Private matters”
Lauren replied and smiled.
“Well…
We are here now”
Marcel said and served everyone a glass of juice.
” Thanks, Dad…
Ethan smile.
“You’re welcome son”
Alright, so… Let’s make a toast”
Everyone raises their glasses.
“To the baker family, Quinn family and…
Harry interrupted Marcel.
“No,… We are all one family now
The Baker family”
Cheers”
He smiles and everyone tits their glasses.
