Unexpected turn of events (the script, Glen Power fanfiction)

Chapter 19

"When is mommy coming?" Arthur asked his dad as Glen opened the door. "On Monday morning, we have to sleep three times and then mummy will be here," Glen told him, pushing the door to his house open and nudging Arthur inside.

"Hey, Luke." Glen greeted his son sat in his kitchen as he'd dropped Arthur's luggage by the stairs to take up in a little bit. "Hey, dad." Luke greeted his dad as his eyes moved to his little brother he'd heard so much about. "Arthur come on," Glen called out to him when he stood in the doorway, looking at Luke with some doubt in his eyes. "Come on little one," Glen called out to him, crouching down as Arthur walked in between his legs. "Arthur this is Luke, he's your brother," Glen said as Luke too crouched down in front of his dad and little brother.

"Hey Arthur, I'm Luke," Luke said, extending his hand to the small lad, looking at him with wondering eyes. "Really?" Arthur finally said, looking at his dad and Luke, a grin growing on his face as his head moved back and forth. "Really." Glen chuckled with a nod of his head as Arthur stretched his hand to take Luke's before throwing his arms around Luke's neck.

"I've been asking mum about a brother or sister and now I have one." Arthur laughed, pulling back from the hug and looking at his newfound brother and father with a grin on his face they were convinced would split his face in two. "Can we play football?" Arthur asked Luke as Luke let out a chuckle before nodding his head. "Of course." Luke agreed, the excitement of his little brother a little to infectious to say no. "First dinner though. Are you ready Luke?" Glen asked, knowing they had to go over to his parents to have dinner with them.

"Yes, Dad," Luke said, rising from where he'd been crouched as Arthur took Luke's hand in his and followed after Glen to his parent's next door.

After dinner at the Soho farmhouse restaurant, Kate, Pippa and Catherine had taken to the hot tub on their deck of the cottage. It had been a subdued but still fun dinner, three pregnant women didn't leave much room to get drunk and waisted and it hadn't been the thing that Meghan wanted either. She simply wanted a weekend with the girls, a relaxed weekend to get pampered and see her friends she hadn't see in a while.

"God this is what I need." Pippa moaned out, her head dropped back to the headrest as the bubbles did their things. After the week Kate had endured, it really felt like total bliss even to her. "Busy week at work?" Catherine asked her sister teasingly as Pippa lifted her head with a smile on her face.

"No, I wanted to ask you something by the way," Pippa stated, turning to Kate as Kate rose her brow at her friend. "And what would that be?" Kate asked her with a chuckle as she reached for her glass of wine. "I want you to be a godmother," Pippa stated as Kate turned to look at Catherine.

"I think I'm already going to be one this year." Kate snickered as she turned to look at Pippa again with a confused look on her face. "I'm pregnant and I'd like you to be one of the godparents," Pippa asked her with a bright grin. "That's amazing." Kate and Catherine grinned as they embraced Pippa and congratulated her on her soon to be arrival. "How far along are you?" Kate asked her as they relaxed again.

"I'm due in October, only the two of you and James know," Pippa announced, looking at her friend and her older sister.

"No daddy," Arthur called out as he ran away from his dad and Luke chasing after him. His laughter followed after him as he dashed under the outdoor table in the garden. "No Luke," Arthur called out in a tone that reminded Glen of his mum. "No more tickling," Arthur said in his sassy little manner, wiggling his finger at both Luke and Glen as he hid underneath the table.

"No, we won't tickle you anymore." Luke chuckled, leaning to whisper to his little brother. "What do you say we tickle dad?" Luke suggested in a mischievous way as Arthur grinned at his older brother, nodding his head before both of them turned their attention to Glen.
