Chapter 16 - The new member of the Banquet [Banquet series: 4]

The main entrance was practically packed with people.

But because I and Ethan came in big three, We just have to walk past the lines. When we got inside the hall was huge. There were multiple people present there. The person who stood out the most from the crowd was, Ms. Jasmine. The host. She has been one of the hosts of the black auctions and white auctions. Not to mention that her company is in the 2nd rank of the power chart.

When we moved a little more Ms. Jasmine noticed us and walked towards us, Leaving a whole bunch of crowd behind. When she does that it is normal for every one to notice. She came in front of us and said "Happy married life!" While raising her wine cup. She was 31. Older than Ethan but her appearance still remain as if she was 18. People there who were mostly the mafias started staring at us while Ms. Jasmine said smiling "Didn't expect two of you to have a baby. Take good care of it." Everyone started whispering. Of course, the news was already out but the rumours didn't get in the mafia social circle. I sighed and while putting on a fake smile I said "Thank you, Ms. Jasmine. I and Ethan are getting along very well. You don't need to worry."

After that Ms. Jasmine just laughed a little and started talking to others again. While the attention shifted from us, I and Ethan sat on a corner watching everyone. That's when I spotted Ms. Riva and Ms. Evans. "Hey, look there. Ms. Riva and Ms. Evan." I said in a whisper to Ethan. Ethan also looked there and looked back at me while nodding. Means we could approach them.

When I and Ethan started walking towards Ms. Riva and Ms. Evans. The crowd started to go away as if to give us a path. Which was understandable by the incident when we entered the banquet and Ethan's title. As the crowd started to disappear. I got to see things more clearly. And I was pretty sure that my eyes were not lying to me when I saw a man standing behind Ms. Riva and Ms. Evans. It is not a butler or any servant. It was certainly... Some one. As we walked even more Ms. Riva and Ms. Evans also started to notice us. The air shifted and it was calm but not certainly silent. "How are you guys doing?" Ms. Evans spoke first. "Good. How about you guys?" I said. Ms. Riva smiled at me and said "Also good from this side. Well, we will like to introduce a certain new member of our family, this is me and my Christine's son, Luca Jonson Evans." I and Ethan looked at each other.

Well... This is... Interesting.

Luca, this guys looked around my age, probably 20. I smiled at him and he smiled back at me. "I'm Luca Jonson Evans. 20 years old. Nice to meet you." He extended a hand for handshake but before I could do the handshake Ethan grabbed his hand and said "I'm Ethan Caldwell. And this is my husband, Noah Sullivan." Luca seemed pissed at some point but Ethan... I just don't want Ethan to get mad. That's all. Ms. Riva smiled and said "Luca and Mr. Sullivan why don't you get a drink together. I and Mr. Caldwell have some things to discuss." "No problem." I said.

While looking at Ethan. Well, certainly Ethan is pissed. Of course, he doesn't like when we separate plus, he just can't stand when some one talked with me friendly. I sighed and said to Ethan "See you later." I and Luca left for the balcony rather. Mostly because I felt to have some fresh air. While we were walking there Luca asked "Are you guys really married?" I can practically hear his curiosity "Well, yes and no. We have not held a wedding ceremony but we will soon. And since I am already pregnant with his child so just consider us married." I said. "You are pregnant?? For real??" He asked. "Well, yes. Didn't you hear the host congratulating us on our baby just few hours ago?" I said. He sighed and said "I thought it was a prank or some thing." "Well, it is not." After that I stayed at the balcony while he was gone for finding a drink. After few minutes he returned back. He stared at me for few minutes before I said "What do you need to ask?" He was taken a back. He hesitated for a moment and said "I thought it was biologically impossible for a male to get pregnant... Or are you trans?" I practically choked on the air. "So you were curious about that? Well, Caldwell family has a curse or a blessing you can say that they can get anyone pregnant. Even if they are male or from another race. And yes I am biologically male. This is because of Ethan's family curse." I said. When I said that Luca practically could wrap his head around this matter but after a few minutes he seemed to fully understand it. "So, you are pregnant? How many months?" He said. "Well, it is not even months. It have just been 5 or 6 weeks." He nodded like he understood.

And after that we just stood there in silence until a servant came to give me a cake. But when I took one bite of it I started to vomit. Luca was terrified and he ran to grab Ethan. After few seconds, Ethan came. He hugged me and started rubbing my back. Which honestly comforted me. And all I just know is that after that Ethan rushed me home. And even after getting home. I vomited more and more And when I finished vomiting I fell asleep while standing in the bathroom. And it was a blessing that Ethan was also there with me and he catch me before I fell to the floor.
