"Frankly Mom, I have never seen you talk about a man like this since I was old enough to know what a relationship is. But it is a change. A good change if I must admit. I'm not against whatever is between you two. Mr. Williams seems like a good man and I will also take your word for it. Actually, I am more glad that you are happy. That's what I always want for you. To be happy. I just hope he's worth it."

"Of course, he does." She said confidently and he shrugged in reply. "So Ade, when are you bringing Lola home as your wife?" Demilade almost choke on his drink at his mother's question and he looked up at his mother.

She didn't seem fazed at his action. She was just staring at him with a questioning stare.

He coughed slightly and took from his glass of water.

"Don't try to avoid the question, Ade. Answer my question." She said.

"I don't know Mom." He admitted.

"You don't know. You don't want to get married again. Demilade! What's delaying you again? You've got a house, cars, companies, money, and a beautiful woman. What else are you looking for? Or should it be What is it that you're waiting for? Omo yi. Are you not old enough? You know Lola is a very good girl. And I know you like her just as much as I like her. You know that I like Lola so much."
[This child]

"I know that Mom. I love her too. But we've barely dated for a year. It is not even up to a year."

"Does it matter? Just get it over with Ade. I want grandbabies." She stated and went back to her food.

He chuckled. "Look, Mom, I didn't say that I am not getting married. I have things to do before then. And when I am ready, I will let you know."

"When will that be? When I can't carry my grandchildren again. I still want to have the strength to carry my grandchildren, take them to school, take them out during the weekend, and do some random things with them. That's why it should be soon. I'm not getting younger. So are you. I need to carry my grandchildren. And I want a girl first."

Demilade laughed. "That's funny Mom. I haven't even proposed and you're talking about babies. Moreover, the decision if it should be a girl or boy first should be left for me and my wife to decide."

"The ball is in court. You get to decide that when you know your wife's ovulation period and yourself. "

"I totally forget that you're a Biology genius."

"A certified biologist should be the word." The woman said with a smirk. Demilade laughed at his mother's way of playing sassy.

His mother had a degree in Biology. She graduated about two years ago after she decided to go back to school because she have nothing to do as she claimed. And she did well.

"Whatever." He smiled. "But Mom, you know it does not always work that way."

"It does."

"But I am a busy man."

"Whatever. Do as you, please. Eyin le mo yen. Just do and get married and give me babies. Boy or girl. I don't care. Omo lo omo." He laughed.
[It's both your concern] [A Child is a child].

"Fine. I've heard you. I will work on it." He said.

"Good. I'm expecting a fast result." He laughed and forced the urge to roll his eyes. "When will grandma be back?"

"I think weekend. I'm not sure. She might want to go to the branch and see her friend in Ekiti on the way. You know how she is."

"I do. But don't she get tired of traveling?" He queried with a look of disbelief.
