Candy called her best friend Annie, after Terry left to tell her the good news!

- I'm going to marry Terry! Tomorrow!

- What? Said Annie

- He wants the baby, I want the baby... so we're getting married...

- Oh my God...

- There are marriage based on less than that...

- Really?

- Annie, please, don't discourage me...

- He's angry with you...

- I know, he will have to calm down.

- Is it going to be a real marriage?

- Do you know any other kind?

- Candy... maybe he wants revenge against your father

- Maybe, but he wants the baby; he will have to make peace with its grandfather...

- Well, you know what you're doing

- No, I don't know, but ... the baby will have two parents who love him...

- You love him don't you?

- More than anything in the world...and he hates me...

- He's marrying you, he must not hate you that much... ok, we'll need a wedding dress for your big belly...

- A pink one...

- Very well, since the virginal white is excluded...

- That moron of Neil had that honour...

- I'll bring you a pink dress tomorrow. What kind of pink, pale, fuchsia?

- Pale...

- All right...

- Thank you Annie...

- You're welcome, see you tomorrow sweetie.

Candy hung up and then she called her father

- Daddy?

- Yes honey? Are you all right?

- Terry was waiting for me in front of the house... he scared me half to death

- Are you all right?

- Yes, I pepper sprayed him in the eyes

- Ouch! He must've been glad...

- You have no idea...

- Did you talk?

- Yes...

- What's the verdict?

- We're getting married...

- Oh...

- Tomorrow...

- What???!!! Why so soon?

- Euh I'm pregnant, in general it's a good reason to rush things...

- I can take care of you , honey

- Terry also wants to take care of his baby, daddy...

- He wasn't in a hurry to call you

- He was angry...

- Against me... you should've told me, you don't need to spare me my darling...

- Yes I do, you the nicest daddy in the world... I know you didn't scam terry...

- But he won't hear it... he's stubborn as a mule...

- I love him daddy... you're going to be there tomorrow?

- Of course I'm going to be there. I wouldn't miss my daughter's wedding for the world!

- Is grandma sleeping?

- Yes...

- Can you tell her the news in the morning?

- All right...

- Thank you daddy. Good night daddy dearest ...

- Good night my darling daughter...

Candy got ready to go to bed and she started singing:

♪♪ I'm getting married in the morning ! Ding dong the bells are going to chime !!♪♪

oOoOoOoOoOo

Terry was in his room, angry... Candy had hidden her pregnancy from him. If he hadn't met her at her father's office... But that was his fault, he should've called her like she had asked him to! But the anger was still dominating him. He need to calm down. Marry Candy? He wasn't expecting that when he woke up that morning. When everything was fine... he was engaged... he had to get his company back and take his life back. William Andrew and his daughter were going to pay... a little voice was telling him he loved Candy, but he wasn't listening to it. All he wanted was his child. He didn't want his child growing up in William Andrew's house... but Candy did grow up in that house, didn't she? And she was well raised, wasn't she? Her lips were so soft and kissing her was pure bliss! And making love to her... No, it wasn't the time to think about that... She was William Andrew's daughter!!! He decided to call his parents.

- Hello?

- Mum?

- Good evening baby...is you all right?

- If you want....

- What's going on?

- Is dad there?

- He's here...

- Can you put me on speaker?

- All right... said his mother complying

- Dad?

- How are you son?

- I'm fine... what about the two to you?

- We're fine, said his mother... do tell...

- What? Said Terry

- You have something to tell us, don't you?

- How do you know that?

- Terry, said his mother, we're your parents

- All right. You know how I blamed myself for losing the company?

- Don't worry about that buddy, said his father

- But dad, I lost the family legacy!

- We can always start a new company...

- No dad, grandpa built this company from nothing...

- Andrew Entreprises took advantage of us when we were vulnerable. I would've don the same thing in their place...

- The sale wasn't legal...

- You can't prove it...

- I had my little investigation...

- Did you find something?

- Yes and I went to see Andrew to force him to sell me the company at the same price he paid me for...

- What did he say?

- He refused, of course!

- You didn't show him the proofs?

- We were interrupted...

- By whom?

- By his daughter...

- His daughter? Said his mother, you have a thing with his daughter?

- Not a thing mum, a touch down...

- Oh my God! You're sleeping with the enemy?!!!

- Dad...

- You wanted to get some information or what?

- Richard, calm down, said his mother, let him talk

- I met her at the community kitchen you opened in grandpa's name...

- What was William Andrew's daughter doing at the community kitchen? Asked his mother

- She volunteers there...

- Oh... she's a generous soul, said his mother

- She's William Andrew's daughter!, said his father

- Terry, you were attracted to her, right? You liked her... said his mother

- Mum... yes I was attracted to her, she was perfect... it was wonderful wither...

- You didn't recognize her name ? Asked his father

- She told me her name was "Candy White"...

- What happened? Asked his mother

- We spent the night together and in the morning when I went to the kitchen, I saw some family pictures...

- And you realised she was William Andrew's daughter...

- Yes...

- And you broke up with her, I hope...

- Richard!

- Yes dad, I broke up with her...

- It was probably a set up, said his father

- Come on, according to what you told us, it was a chance meeting, said his mother

- It's a small world indeed...

- What did she come to do in her father's office?

- She works with him, and she brought him his lunch...

- What happened? Asked his mother

- I was flabbergasted, said Terry

- Why? Asked his father

- She was pregnant...

- WHAT???!! Said his parents at the same time

- Are you sure it's yours? Asked his father

- Yes, I'm sure, she has no reason to lie to me, her father is filthy rich...

- Why didn't she tell you the news before? Asked his father

- I met her after our break up and she asked me to call her...

- Why? Asked his father

- She was with someone and me too

- And you didn't call her, guessed his mother

- She's William Andrew's daughter!

- And she's going to have your baby, said his mother, what are you going to do?

- You're going to take your child? Asked his father

- She want's her baby too...

- We'll sue for custody, said his father

- Richard... there's another way, said his mother

- Which one?? Asked Richard

- He could marry her, said his mother

- OUT OF THE QUESTION!!! Yelled his father

- Richard, think about it for a while...She wants her child and I'm sure her father is not going to abandon her... and for the moment, we're still vulnerable... they're going to win... the best solution would be for him to marry her

- You might be right, but we could still fight this...

- Dad, I'm marrying her tomorrow...

- WHAT???!!!

- Yes, it was the best solution. I don't want William Andrew to raise my child! Said Terry

- We're invited? Asked his mother

- Of course. That's why I called you...

- What about our company?

- We'll see that after the wedding dad... everything is going to be fine

- Congratulations my son, said his mother

- Thanks mum

- Congratulations son, we'll see you tomorrow morning? Said his father

Terry gave them the address and the time of the ceremony.

- Don't be late, said Terry and I'm counting on you to calm dad, mum...

- Don't worry about that honey, said his mother, good night.

- Good night my son

- Good night mum, good night dad

Terry hung up the phone relieved. With his parents' presence, it will be better...He didn't want to contact them until he got his company back, but Candy's pregnancy had changed things... he went to bed and fell asleep right away.
