Tom POV

A day before I meet my Queen, my favorite apprentice Hermi which is her little sister, comes to me with the strange request ever.

"Will you become my fake dad for this 1 june, mister Taylor?"

"You have a father Hermi and a mum too, will not be fair to them if I came and become your dad."

"Can I tell you a secret?"

"Yes you can and I promiss no one will ever know!"

"They are not my real parents, I am adopted!" she said and now I understand why her hair was black and why they went to England to have her. Probably a young girl must get pregnant due to a drunk night and give her baby for adoption and they just want their daughter to have someone in her life now that I broke her heart.

" Are you happy with them?"

"I am, I love more my m,,, sister she is the best in the world!"

Hearing her talking for my Queen like that I don't feel surprised at all. I have been waiting for her to walk throw that door since day one, even just to see her from far away. Tomorrow I will see her.

" I accept Hermi, to become your fake dad for 1june."

"Thank you, dad! Thank you! Thank you!" she said and give me one of her hugs, strangely I can feel a part of her aroma and mine.

**

During the after-party at school, I saw Esther talking with other mums from far away. Hermi comes to me.

" Dad I will meet you my real mum today! Wait here!" she said and vanish between grownups.

My Queen comes toward me, looking down at Hermi, maybe she didn't find out her mum and will present her sister. Just to provoke her I play our knock joke when I hear Hermi saying: "Mum meet my Fake dad!"

" Fake Dad meet my real mother, she born me from her womb not the other lady that is my grand mother! "

Now everything made sense mostly why I feel so glued to Hermi, I couldn't see tears in her eyes, when she was upset, for me was a pain in my chest, since the first moment I hold her in my arm felt strangely connected. I don't need a DNA test she looks like me and mostly my Queens's eyes are better than other tests in this world. I kneel before my daughter I couldn't believe that we have our piece of love. Her smell is our smell combined in this perfect little girl, who just wants to escape my arms to run to her friends. I let her go as I saw my Queen drowning in her tears, I pull her up and I hug her as my life will depend on her arms.

We let the school with Hermi in my arms that finally, I got her full name, I don't know why they keep so many secrets the names, in the register is write-only with letters H.R . I asked her name the first time I taught there and she just said her short name Hermi. Now I know She is Hermione Mirena Richards and soon Taylor.

Isn't the first time that Hermi sleeps in my arms as she gets a habit to sleep every time she runs around with friends, and always finds me. Even being at a young age I wished so much to have a girl like her, even I imagine like me, Hermi and our Esther have a family date as we did once with Freya.

Freya will go nuts when she finds out that Hermi is my daughter. As I thought all this I am crying over my daughter's hair, and my Queen noticed and ask me things to get my sadness away.

**

Their Flat has the touch of our daughter, differently from Esther controlled childhood Hermi is having her free imagination displayed everywhere.

My Queen doesn't let me out of the duo she wants us to be a trio.

Esther style is on her room simply decorated just a bed, a big mirror, and wardrobe, also an office table for her work and chair. She gives me pink clothes knowing well I don't like the color but only to see that gaze on her eyes I will wear it but she avoids me changing and I felt left out. I provoke her to see me I didn't wait all these years to have her act cold toward me I know is a decade but I want her, I desire her, I love her not as a boy but as a man. I have met boys and men that can stay faithful to their shadow no more than their women who have to swear love one day. When I married her I promised this to be forever and is exactly like that.

**

Facing Hermi sadness when she thought I was replacing her father was hard for both of us. My smart Queen explained in Hermi imagination style and watching all those memories make me smile and sad that could be more boxes of our together memories.

" I need two assistant to make lunch that is getting late!" Esther my love called us.

All three of us were in the kitchen, doing chores like bees. Esther is doing risotto with vegetables, I see chicken wings and legs and I decide to use the special dish that I learn from a friend back in college days. Hermione chooses vegetables for salad and fruits for a smoothie.

Together prepare the oval table and finally, we set down to enjoy lunch. I got teary as was a dream that I thought never will be true no more to be so perfect. My Queen saw me and come and sit on my lap giving me her body as a shield for my pain.

"Mum you need to eat and drink your vitamins, and dad need to eat too!" Our daughter said it watching us like we were doing a wrong thing but we are the parents here I pull Esther near me and she hugged me.

"Common Guys, eat than go smooshie I will give you all time to give me a baby bro or sister." she said avoiding watching us now. My tears escape as a smile comes to my lips.

" Did she just say that?!"

"She insisted so much to find you for this reason to have a sibling as she will not love a sis or bro that will come from others! She wants only us to give her bro or sis. But don't take me wrong, I will never have a child with someone else that isn't you!

"And I could never become dad with another woman if that isn't you love."

" I finished my lunch and I am going to talk with Nilam to see if I can stay with her this weekend and I will talk with grandpa too. You can smooshie as much as you want now!- she said and run to her room.

"When did she grow up so fast?" I said to my queen.

"She has this manners to be little when wants love, and to be big on her decisions, you will get use and to replace my dad as she always counsels her decisions with him and with me most the time."

"Esther I know you are expecting for me to explain what really happen years ago, but new event happen and I need to talk with someone before I talk to you."

"With Siren?" she said and wanted to go from me, still hurts but I don't let her go this time. I get her close to me.

" No, since Prom night which was nothing good cause went off too soon. She was a pretty girl but that kiss was like venom to me if you went to boy bath I went to girl bath, vomiting. I was dying Esther. I died every day till I saw you again.

I can't yet explain my part but why she was there, I can. Damian blackmailed her with some photos of her, during their intimacy time and she was there acting."

"Damian did something like that to you too, maybe he had something of us too?"

"That is another thing more complecated!"

" I know he is a bad guy but to be so evil with the girl that gives him everything! He was and is stupid cause destroyed all his fortune trying to compete with my father."

"You meet him?!"

"No never since that day at school!"

" Don't take me, wrong love, you can do whatever you want, but if you see him I want to talk too, ok!"

" I missed so much the way you make me feel!" she said putting her head on my shoulder breathing easily on my throat.

"I missed you too my queen heart! In all these years I couldn't see another one if not to compare with you smart and beauty. I grow up to be a better person only for you! I love you, Esther!"

" Even being angry with you, I remembered myself that you always be my love and my husband. I have put the ring always outside my parent's view. I always keep my promises and Vows. I promised to love you forever I will keep it even if you one day stop to love me!" she said and I felt her painful voice when said her last words.

" In this Lifetime will not be possible that my love to stop for you Esther! You give me only the rings were is the cross?"

"I give it to our doughter when she come to life!"

" That cross had passed to the fifth generation! Let's eat before we get scolded from our daughter." I said she wanted to go but I didn't let her.

We finished eating and start to send dishes to the dishwasher.

" You make me very angry yesterday talking like that to me like you don't know me!"

" I went crasy Esther, hearing mens talking like that for my wife, hear you one day woman talking for me than I will see what you gone do!"

"I am not jealouse type, beside I give you right boys can be very rude! This was a lesson to never mess with Nilam!"

"When did I mess with her?!"

"You threat her to show your worst if they were covering my lie?!"

"And they were?! What else did she do?!"

"First Paris is a good friend of ours I met him in London that is why every time I meet him I said 'Paris from London. He really comes from France. He has a crash for me and never hides it. That day I wasn't alone at the office as I was having a Zoom call with all girls as Paris come to help with a Royal wedding.

"May gonna married a prince?!"

"No, Sonia our Lawyer will marry a Duke!"

"What about Angel,she is into you right??"

"Wrong, she married a wanderfull guy Noah that she met during his marriage planning. His wife to be, escape with her lover becouse the marriage was a contract beetween families not for Love. In fact he helped them with Angel too. After a while they start datting and now are parents to a baby girl named Olivia."

" And boys are all paid by girls to make you jealous! I have scolded them all so you just pretend never happen!

"Always protecting our girls Queen!"

We start to wash dishes when the doorbell rings.

"It's Nilam Auntie!" our girl yelled as come from the room all dressed up. She opens the door and Nilam enters, giving me a look.

"This colour looks better on you!" she goes sarcastic on me.

"I Was right Nilam so stopped with this drama and be bff like before! I missed you friendship too!"

"I am not BFF with a cheater!"

"I am not and I will tell you why I am not one day!

"Thanks to you we have that lasy PROM NIGHT and Esther suffered too much!"

" I suffered like her and for the PROM re-do it again!"

"YOU finally said something good since you come back!"

"Bumblebee come uncle Rajan is waiting down for us!" she yelled to Hermi as she went to her room maybe she missed something.

"Who is Rajan?!" I ask as the name looks familiar to me.

"MY husband, the father of my twins boys, married from 5 years!"

"You are saying with smily eyes, Is Love Marriage?!"

"Become in the end! Look what you do me, I am mad with you but in two second I forget everything!"

" Couse I am you bro from another mother,remember!"

"Come here! I missed you but don't hurt Esther!" she warned me as hugged me.

" She is my everything Nilam!"

" I am here auntie!" hermi said and made me sign to talk in private.

"What is piece of love?!" I said as I am on my knees before her.

" I talk with grandpa and he said to not tell mum that we know each other for so long time!" she said and was too sad.

" Don't worry this stay beetween us! " I said and Esther come and kneeled too.

"Bumblebee behave yourself and when ever you want to come back give us a call!"She said and hugged her as I was admiring their love.

"I love you both so much! " she said and asked for me to hug them.

"Auntie, make us the first photo together!" she said and Nilam was very ready even give me a smirk. She doesn't forget easily, I admire the way she protects Esther. I am ready to face all the punishment that HIVE will give me just to be again like the family we were.
