Chapter 61 — In Grief And Joy...
Four weeks have been passed as if it's four minutes.
But first Mason decides that Capwells need to be told about their plans. He asked Rose report all of them about the important meeting in the living room, and then he's go for Mary. She stand opposite the big mirror and slowly turning around herself — right and left as she examines herself closely in mirror her already little shown tummy. Mason stunned. Be afraid to break down the tender moment, he did not dare even to budge. He felt the incredible tide of tenderness and desires to protect her and their baby.
Suddenly Mary felt his glance and turned. They both were embarrassed momentarily. Mason done several steps and embraced her.
"Mary--"
"What?" she asked, not coming off his shirt.
"I called the family meeting."
"Why? What is happened?" Mason felt how her body tightened and in his mind cursed himself for unhandy phrase.
"Nothing," he taken away her from himself and take her face in hands. "Just I decide that it's time to report my father and rest about our soon-be wedding."
"Do you want--" Mary frowned, trying understanding what's hidden before his words. "Do you want to hear their opinions?"
"Nothing like," Mason shakes his head. "I want to notify them that I am going to marry after three with half of the week. Much distrust that someone will be against, but tie up word will not create us problems with you. I promise."
"Well, OK," sigh Mary. "Don't care; we must say them any day--"
"Don't worry, OK? My relatives are not a gift as you already aware."
The smile flashed on Mary's face.
"They are better than you think that they are."
"It's even better," Mason embraced her with relief and then kissed in lips. "Let's go. All are already, probably."
"Wait, but we're going to..."
At the moment Rose come in the room. "Mason, all of them already wait downstairs."
"Thank you, Rose. We're going now."
Mary tried saying something, but Mason led her downstairs.
"Let's go! First we'll finish our case with my relatives."
In the fall Capwells already waited them. CC, Sophia, Eden, Kelly and Ted puzzled look at Mary and Mason, when they came up for the living room of the Capwells House.
There has been the silence. All looked at others and kept quiet. Ted broke the silence.
"Mason, why you called us?"
"I have for one message," Mason said. "Mary and I are going to marry. At Christmas's Eve."
He was going to say more, but don't got enough time.
"I knew!" Kelly ardently cries. "Twenty bucks is mine, I won!"
"OK," Eden put her hand in the pocket.
"Hey what is happening here?" wondered Mason.
"They bet if you are going to you say that you're marry or that Mary is pregnant?" Ted reported and embraced Mary: "My congratulations! I so glad that you finally decide make it! This is just a miracle!"
"Yes!" CC comes close to Mary. "I am glad that all of your problems finally are gone. And may be now Mason will finally getting better, when you'll marry him. He even doesn't know how lucky he is!"
"No, it's me who is lucky," Mary replied. "You will attend at our wedding?" she asked.
CC smiled.
"It's would be an honor for me. If Mason will not mind."
"He'll not," smiled Mary too. "I promise you."
CC embraced her. "I cannot even dream about having the daughter-in-law better then you."
"Me too!" Sophia embraced Mary as soon as she was released by CC. "Your life was so many times disturbed, and you had so many troubles that your wedding will be a good sign. The good sign for all of us.
"Eden, how you could bet about so important thing!" Mason upset said. "And how do you can know about?"
"Any understandable by your look when you watch at her! And about Mary's pregnancy I knew from Rose's words for long ago."
"And I am," Ted said. "All of us knew already long ago."
"In next time I'll ask Rose to keep my private life as top secret," Mason reported. And after pause he added: "But I absolutely pleased that you are already knew! So I forgive you, I am a nice man today."
"But I am not a nice lady!" Eden said. "How you could be such lightheaded! Really impossible to prepare the wedding for three weeks!"
"Nearly four rather then three. And I'm sure that we have enough time."
"How it's like men!" Eden expressive shown to Mason, and Kelly according nod. "They nothing understands in preparation of weddings!"
"Exactly!" Kelly agreed. "But we are nice ladies today," she chortled," and so we promise to help Mary with your wedding. Overwise our stupid brother can hash it."
"It's impossible!" Mason shocked.
"Keep cool, Mason," Ted pat his shoulder. "Your younger brother always with you. Together we exactly hash nothing."
"Well-well," said in unison Eden and Kelly and go away to congratulate Mary.
Mason wiped a sweat on his brow. It's just the beginning! He suddenly wanted to elope with Mary to Caribbean Island and marry her without any preparations and relatives. However at the moment he sees exercise and shining Mary's face, who take the congratulations from his sisters, and change his mind. Finally it's just a ceremony. He and Mary in fact did married for long tome ago. Their marriage has a high power, and even the death not been able to broken up them.
"Mason, do you already thought who will be your best man?" Ted asked. He still stood beside.
"My God, really I need the best man!"
"I could become him for you," Ted seriously said," But it seems to me that would be better if our father become your the best man."
"He will not want," Mason surely said.
"Then it's safer to ask him. Without your best man you'll not, don't worry," Ted give a wink and go to rest of Capwells.
Mason deeply sighs. He was not sure that he wants to ask this question CC, but now he see that CC have been comes to him, he decide that he need to do this. For the sake of Mary.
"What do you said Mary?" Mason asked his father. By the question he delayed the unpleasant moment for it.
CC raised the brow. "I said her that I'll please to take her in our family. I know that you are not her man of worth, but she have been on you really good affect. Think there is a hope that with her help in you can change to better. In the best side."
CC's words "you are not her man of worth" did hurt Mason. But it was not too hurt as he thought. Mary's presence has changed him.
"I would want that you were my best man at my wedding," he simply said. And thought: "It's my small revenge".
CC shocked looked at him.
"Do you want that I became your best man?" he slowly repeated. Then hr smiled and seriously pronounces: "I'll find for honor."
"Do you agree?" Mason surprised.
"Yes, sure. You are my son, and the woman is the best of entire there was happened in your life."
CC patted his shoulder, sigh and go to rest of Capwells.
"I'll go for champagne!" Kelly finally remembered. "We really need to celebrate Mason and Mary's engagement!"
Mason has feel on himself somebody's hands and turned. Mary looked at him and smiled. Her eyes glowed with such happiness that it was instinctively sent to Mason. He immediately forgotten all troubles and worries, but their place was filled soon-be lucky event — the wedding and soon birth of their baby.
