My Evil Boy Toy

I was waiting for my two fathers to arrive when I suddenly thought about Kyle. Thinking back, we had a conversation about my mom when grandpa announced him as the crown prince of Flousia.

PEGGY\'S MEMORY

"Do you think Lily was okay?" I asked Kyle.

"She\'s a strong woman. She deserves someone better." Kyle answered.

Emily finally admitted her feelings to Kyle and I was so happy that they were together now.

"How about Xander? Did he accept it?"

Xander was also a good friend of ours and he was really in love with Emily so I felt guilty since Kyle was my brother.

"He\'ll be fine. I promised him I\'ll take care of Emily so don\'t worry and stop asking questions."

"You\'re annoying when you use that tone to me. You\'re not the king yet." I said, almost yelling.

He frowned then suddenly covered my mouth.

"Don\'t say that. Grandpa ordered us not to talk about it. He wanted it to be a surprise to everyone." He whispered.

I pouted, slapping his hands away from my mouth.

"So Emily didn\'t know?"

He shook his hand while looking at Emily with loving eyes. We were at the corner of the party hall, talking. Emily also didn\'t know that Kyle and I were actually siblings. We haven\'t told her yet as per Kyle\'s order.

"Kyle are you going to be lonely when I\'m gone?" I asked.

The day was getting nearer that I will be leaving. Looking at him, he became really like a big brother in a short time. 

"Don\'t ask something that would never happen." He said, flicking me on the forehead.

"Aww. That hurt." I pouted, rubbing my hand on my forehead.

He then pulled me into his arms, putting his chin at the top of my head.

"You\'re such a baby. I\'m glad you are my sister. Don\'t hesitate to talk to me if you feel something wrong, okay?" He said.

I nodded, smiling at him. His embrace was warm and calming. I felt safe in his arms. Maybe that was the feeling of having a big brother.

"Kyle, do you think mom would like me if she\'s still alive?" I suddenly asked.

"Of course!" He quickly answered.

"When you heard about the stories of mom from other people, do you believe them? I mean she wasn\'t like other mothers but we can\'t deny the fact that she\'s our mother."

He took a deep breath then pulled outside. We started walking in the garden where the roses are.

"Peggy, no matter what she has done in the past, we can\'t change the truth of where we came from. When I heard about her, I didn\'t think that she was different. She carried me and you for nine months even though it was hard for her. She gave me to grandpa so I could have a wonderful life. She left you in Benjamin\'s hands, maybe because she thought it\'s the best for you. I mean the guy\'s filthy rich. I think if she\'s still alive, she would be an amazing mother." He said in a gentle and sad voice.

"How about your father? Do you know who your father is?" I asked.

"I do. But I\'m not really sure if I will believe it."

"Why? How did you find out?"

"Mother has a diary. I saw and read it once. It was quick because grandpa arrived. It was in his bedroom but when I came back to read it again, it was gone. They said the diary came from your father, Benjamin but grandpa couldn\'t bear to read it so it was sent back to him."

Thinking of what Kyle said, my foster father has mother\'s diary. So I waited patiently inside my hospital room.

Almost three hours passed before father came in my room, followed by my foster father, Benjamin. I was surprised to see their smiling faces when they went inside.

"Father!" I called.

They were both staring at me. I looked at Matthew then Benjamin. It suddenly became awkward having them in front of me.

"Pfft." Jayden laughed.

He stopped when I glared at him.

"What? It was funny. You have two fathers." 

I shook my head and looked at the two men again.

"This is hard. What should I call you then?" I asked.

My foster father chuckled.

"Call me, Dad. You can call him father. I\'m also fine with Ben." He said.

I nodded and smiled at the two of them.

They walked towards me and sat down. Matthew was on the left while Benjamin was on the right.

"How are you?" Benjamin asked.

"I\'m okay. I was relieved that the baby\'s alive. How about the two.of you?" I asked, looking at them.

I saw them glance at each other. Matthew smiled then gently poked my nose.

"We\'re fine. You should worry about yourself. Ben and I already settled our misunderstanding. Don\'t worry."

I nodded then I saw Benjamin, nodding in agreement.

"By the way dad, Kyle told me that he saw mom\'s diary before. He said it was sent by you to grandpa but was sent back."

He frowned. His face seemed like he was thinking about it.

"Oh yes I remember! Why do you ask?" He answered.

I know my face lit up from the excitement I suddenly felt.

"Do you still have it? I want to read it." I said in a frantic voice.

"Yes. I still do. But I couldn\'t open it, that\'s the reason I sent it to your grandpa. There was a lock on it and you needed a key to open it. Maybe the royal family has it. I will bring it to you tomorrow." He said.

I smiled widely. Just thinking about mom\'s diary made me happy. There might be something about her pregnancy about me and her feelings with father and Benjamin, or some important things in her diary.

"Thank you dad. Will both of you come here tomorrow and let\'s read mom\'s diary?" I asked, looking at my two fathers.

"Sure.." They answered in unison.
